Uni'ko Japanese House [Eat]

Since we are big time sushi lovers, for our anniversary dinner I suggested my boyfriend that we should try out this new sushi place at the Eilan.  The place is very cozy and contemporary. I loved the decorations and the art. The environment is modern-chick and high end. The staff was incredibly nice. Since it was our first time there, our waiter explained the menu and the specials they had for that day.

We started off with some spicy garlic edamame, it was super good, perfect amount of spiciness. To drink we ordered the Nigori Sake, recommended by our waiter.  Sake makes me happy, but this one made me ecstatic!

Since all of their ingredients are organic and fresh, the specials change constantly. That day the special was the Lobster and Ceviche Roll.  I ordered the [Lobster Roll], it was amazing and huge! Every piece was an explosion of flavor! My boyfriend ordered the [A Shin Gao Roll], since he likes spicy food, it was also delicious. We also ordered the [Combination Yakimeshi] (beef, chicken, shrimp). Best Yakimeshi I’ve ever had; I highly recommend it! Everything was amazing!

To seal the deal, we ordered the [Wasabi Cream with Seasonal Fruit] it is a wasabi-green tea dessert! It was delicious! It had the perfect amount of sweet and it hit the spot after an amazing meal.

This place is one of my favorite restaurants in San Antonio. Perfect to meet up with friends, casual dining or a romantic date!

Uni’ko is located at 17803 LaCantera Ter Ste 110, San Antonio, TX 78256.

Cons.
After trying Uni’ko you will probably feel like no other sushi place will meet your expectations. So, welcome to your new favorite sushi house!  

Sushi for Lunch [Eat]

There is a Japanese place in the same business center where I work. I always forget how good this place is. Today, I had a lot of meeting and did not feel like driving somewhere to get food. I decided to eat at Koi Kawa Japanese Restaurant & Sushi.

They have daily lunch specials and their sushi is to die for!

For starters, I ordered the Sara Special Sushi Roll [I do not know what it has, but trust me it’s amazing]. As a main dish I ordered the Chicken Teriyaki lunch special for only $6 [bento box with grilled chicken, steamed rice, 2 vegetable dumplings, green beans with peanut sauce, cabbage salad and miso soup.] As you can see in the picture it was delicious and nutritious.

Cons.

They only have their lunch specials available Monday-Friday, from 11:00-3:00 pm.  Also, you will want to order more sushi after tasting the first bite!  

Koi Kawa Japanese Restaurant & Sushi is located at 4051 Broadway San Antonio TX 78209.
