Uni Sushi

Two of my friends and I ate at Uni at 6 pm on a Friday night. We had no trouble finding seating as we were the only group there when we first arrived (other people started trickling in around 6:30 or so). All 3 of us had no issue finding parking as 2 of us found free parking garages close by (one across the street and one behind Uni Sushi) while our other friend found street parking out front. All 3 of us enjoyed our food. I think the price is a couple dollars steeper than I’d ordinarily spend though. My roll was between $19-$20, and I know several other sushi restaurants where I could have paid closer to $16-$17 for the same meal. It wasn’t a big deal since it was just me, but it’s something to consider with a group. It did come out quickly though and had a lot of flavor! I took away 1 star for the service. While our server did an excellent job at checking on us and refilling our waters, I did see him roll his eyes after my friend indicated for the 2nd time that she needed a few more minutes to figure out what she wanted. We were the only ones there at the time so it’s not like we were terribly inconveniencing him by taking our time to read the menu.

Walked in on Saturday lunch and found out it was their first Saturday lunch open. Everything was so fresh and delicious! Loved the food and presentation definitely coming back

We’ve ordered delivery from here a few times and they always do great. The selection is delicious albeit a bit homogenized and predictable. The food is excellent and the fish tastes fresh. We stopped at Total Wine on the way in order to purchase some sake. They’re BYO which can be fun! Service was very accommodating and friendly.

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Love how quaint and quiet the restaurant is. Great for date night! Sushi and service were also excellent.

People don’t lie while referring to this restaurant as a hidden gem in downtown Plano. It is absolutely delicious! We had an amazing date night, the sushi tasted so fresh and delicious, I loved their house cold sake. Service was excellent as well. Definitely became my favorite sushi restaurant in Plano.

Uni Sushi is THE best sushi restaurant in Plano. We’ve been eating here for years, and both the quality and portions of the fish are miles above other restaurants. You can tell they know what they’re doing because their food isn’t dripping in mayo to hide the low quality. The portions are big too. One or two rolls will fill up anyone. Try the chirashi.

This was some top notch Sushi! I highly recommend if you are in the area. The price was reasonable and it was so fresh.

Tried Uni Sushi for the first time, and I’m already planning my next visit. From the moment I walked in, I knew this place was special. The atmosphere is casual and chill, perfect for a relaxed evening out. I started with edamame and hot sake, a great way to ease into the meal. Then the sushi arrived, and it did not disappoint. I tried the Lobster Roll, the Avocado Roll, and the Spicy Tuna Roll. The Lobster Roll, topped with scallops, crab, and baby lobster, was rich and indulgent. The Avocado Roll was light and refreshing, while the Spicy Tuna Roll had just the right amount of heat. The service was fantastic, friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Plus, the playlist added a modern, laid-back vibe that made the whole experience even better. For a first visit, Uni Sushi completely exceeded my expectations. I can’t wait to come back!

This is my first 5/5 rating in a long time! The food was amazing. Everything was made to order and so incredibly fresh. Stand outs were the snow mountain and popcorn lobster roll. If you live in the Plano area and haven't tried this place, you're missing out on a gem. My girlfriend and I will be coming back FOR SURE.

Service was great! Excellent ambiance and decor. Felt very cozy. Food was pretty good. Low expectations always for sushi off the coast, but they were certainly met and exceeded. The price was very appropriate as well. Good casual date spot!

My friend said this is her go to sushi spot so I decided to give it a try. I had their special Dragon Roll and it was sooooo good! (I inhaled it so fast i forgot to take a picture ) i also ordered salmon hamachi and tamago and everything was super fresh. The place itself was cozy and had a really nice vibe. I live a bit far but it was definitely worth the drive and I'll be coming back again.

We ordered the hamachi sashimi and my son had the Philadelphia roll. I only had one piece of the hamachi. It smelled and tasted bad. I didn't eat anything else. My son had one piece as well. We both got food poisoning. They need to keep the fish chilled better. Hamachi shouldn't smell like canned tuna. The waiter was uninterested in why we left our entire meal at the table and had no questions when I said it smelled bad.

I haven't been in more than a year but, this new version of Uni was so disappointing. (I'm guessing it's the new owners?) The eel role was mid and fell apart the moment I touched it with my chopsticks.. the heaven role was anything but.. dry, lacking in flavor..just tasteless. The miso soup had maybe 2 miniscule pieces of tofu/seaweed and tasted very watered down. And.. there were no fun surprise extras like they used to include prior to new ownership.. basically sub par sushi for premium price point. I'll just go to an actually premium spot next time rather than pay for this overpriced slop.

This is a great Sushi place that is byob. Amazing rolls. You can get your typical specialty rolls to some amazing specialties that I have only been able to find here. There service is quick and the atmosphere is pretty intimate. Their spicey rolls are not super spice like some of the other local staples here in Plano but they are well balanced with flavorful powerful touches of flavorful wonderfullenss. Yes I said wonderfullness. Come give this place a try. They do serve beer, sake and wine here but you can bring your own for $2.50 a person which is super reasonable. I will be back sooner than later.

We always eat sushi on my son and daughters birthday and we needed to find a new place since our regular spot has really declined over the past few years. We received a referral from my wife's coworker and are glad we followed up. The place is small so you may want to call first. They gave us a time frame of the best time to come in and we're seated immediately. The portions are huge for the rolls compared to a few other locations we have visited and we ordered a lot so we walked out stuffed which is unusual for a sushi restaurant. Our server was very professional and knowledgeable. Can't wait to go back.

I met a couple of friends there on a weeknight. It was pretty slow around 6-8 pm, maybe only 2 other parties came while we were there. The sushi and sashimi were fine - nothing remarkable but tasted good. However the service and ambiance were pretty lacking. Our waiter acted like he was put out that we were there, and the chef working the counter didn't interact with us at all and looked angry the whole time. The bar is also low so you can't see what they are doing anyway. It was a very weird vibe compared to most sushi bar experiences. Definitely would never go back.

Bf and I come here it feels like once a week in the past several months. Get the giant sushi burrito! You won't regret it. Maybe your waistline will, but your taste buds will love you for it haha. We do a to-go order frequently - one burrito each, and boy oh boy. It is packed full of deliciousness. Creamy avocado, fresh and delicious salmon/tuna/crab mix, etc. And those sushirritos are thiiicccccc. As in I get full off just a half, but still want to keep eating because the flavors are such a joy for my mouth. I normally foist the other half onto my bf's plate. Inevitably, though, I reach back out for a few more bites lol. We'll eventually try other items on their menu, but for now we are lovvvinnng their giant sushi burrito. :)

Stopped by Uni Sushi for dinner last month as my husband and I were both getting over the flu. Most of the place was empty on a Friday night, which probably should have been a warning sign, but we wanted to try it before we left to get dessert. Both of us ordered the sushi omakase, each of which is 12 pieces of chef's choice sushi, and then we also got one of the rolls to split. The miso soup that came out first was nice and hot, which was great for a chilly day, but that was probably the best part of the meal. The sushi omakase is huge, and we thought we would each get 12 different pieces of sushi, but we actually got 2 each of 6 different types of fish. I wish someone would have said something about that after we ordered, because if we'd known, we would've just gotten one set and tried something else on the menu. Each nigiri was gigantic -- I'd say almost double the size of some other sushi places in the area, and the fish slices were also portioned accordingly. My favorite bite was probably the eel, because it was nice and fatty with a good char and flavorful sauce, but most of the other pieces of fish tasted about the same as each other, flavor wise and texturally, which is not great when things like tuna and salmon probably should taste different even without sauce. The sushi rice here was also flavorless and pretty mushy; by the end of the meal when I was starting to get full, I ended up skipping the rice entirely and just eating the fish on top. The roll we got was pretty big but just tasted alright as well. We weren't convinced that the crab inside was real; even if it wasn't imitation, the fact that it was too hard to tell is also not great. The employees were all super nice and came by periodically to check up on us, but considering there are many other good sushi joints in the area, I probably will not be back.

Pretty standard sushi spot for the DFW area. Cozy little restaurant in downtown Plano with a nice ambiance. Service was friendly and fast. The sake was good. I got the spider roll and salmon nigiri, which were both really good. Pretty average pricing too for everything. If you're in the area and in the mood for sushi, definitely worth trying. Love this whole part of town!

Love this spot! Wait staff is outstanding (Kaiwan). He was very knowledgeable on each menu item and made excellent suggestions. We tried so many things, and all were so good. I'll add photos next time, because there will definitely be a next time.

Amazing sushi and nigiri! I've been waiting patiently for this restaurant to open for dine-in, and I saw that they did tonight. It's a small restaurant in downtown Plano, so you'd have to park a bit away and walk over. I was welcomed when I entered and seated right away. The menu looks clean but with a lot of options. The environment was very intimate (dark lighting) and chairs were super comfy. My sister and I got a couple rolls, soft shell crab, some nigiri, chirashi bowl and smoked salmon tartare. Everything was delicious and huge!! The chirashi bowl looks exactly like the photos that I saw on Google, which is why I wanted it. The rolls were big and filling, and the nigiri has the perfect amount of rice-to-fish ratio. The salmon and octopus were really tasty too! Overall, the food were great and I enjoyed my salmon nigiri so much! The fish are fresh and presentation was perfect. The only downside is that it took quite a while for the food to come out, like 25+ mins, which is why I took off one star. By that time, our appetizers already filled our stomachs up. Service was top-notch though. I'll probably be back frequently!

This is a cozy little Japanese restaurant serving pretty good sushi in Plano! We started with the soft shell crab and I thought the batter and spicy garnish sauce were very tasty. I ordered the omakase and thought it was relatively cheap for the quantity - 25 pieces for $50. The salmon and uni were particularly excellent. Loved the freshness and creaminess of these pieces. It all came out together on one plate so we had to wait a good 20 minutes for the chef to finish preparing. I would definitely recommend everything I got - the omakase and the soft shell crab. Cons: - Parking is mostly street parking in this area of Plano (there's probably a garage somewhere but it was not clear) - Staff is short handed and therefore service can be slow Pros: - Above average quality fish! - Big portions for a reasonable price

The ambiance was great. This is a small intimate sushi restaurant located in Plano. The service was great and the staff was friendly. Nothing fancy, but I loved my table for two. The two oversized chairs were half black and half white. The chairs were royal chairs in my mind. My sushi was fresh and tasty. I ordered the Philadelphia and California rolls. The Philadelphia was my favorite. The soy sauce comes in a mini tea pot. Then a nice side of finger and wasabi. I left happy and full. Overall I had a great experience.

My family showed up recently on the Saturday before Father's Day. I initially ordered the Omakase, my wife ordered a couple of sets of maki, and my son got his go to sake don (salmon sashimi over rice). Started off with veggie and shrimp tempura. The good: Food was good. Nothing to write home about, but we were satisfied with the quality. The restaurant was surprisingly quiet for a Saturday in a busy little neighborhood, but I was hoping for a quiet experience, so no complaints there. Server was friendly and helpful. Not necessarily bad, but questionable: My 10-piece omakase was lacking in that I am accustomed to receiving individual (different) pieces based on my experiences ordering omakase elsewhere. This is the first time that I have ordered an omakase where there were pairs of pieces (in this case 5 different kinds, two of each). I was disappointed by this, but omakase is defined as chef's choice, I suppose. Also, I was half hoping that a piece of uni nigiri would have been in the set, but was not really expecting it. After receiving my omakase, I attempted to add on an order of uni nigiri. The waiter informed me (after double-checking) that there was no uni on hand. I was most disappointed by this because I had specifically shown up to this restaurant hoping to have uni. Given the restaurant's namesake, it was surprising to me that this could be the case, especially on a Father's Day weekend. I instead opted for the tamago, which was fine. I can at least say that we enjoyed the quiet atmosphere of the place, and had a pleasant meal of good quality.

Always friendly staff! Lots of take out business but also has a dining room. Great location in downtown Plano. Ahi tuna sashimi is always good! Special dragon roll was flavorful and filling.

This place is one of my favorite sushi restaurants, it's pretty small & somewhat of a hole in the wall, but definitely worth a try. The ambiance is dim lit, with candles & the place gives you this comfort cozy vibe perfect for dinner dates. Without fail I always order the 'Superman' burrito or their version of a giant sushi burrito. It is one of the best things I've ever eaten. Everything about it screams fresh; from the fish, the rice, the avocado, everything. The two sauces it comes with complements it well too. Give this place a try if you're looking for a cute romantic evening or if you want to try some of the most fresh tasting sushi.

I'd totally recommend this place, the ambiance the food and the whole experience was really good, it's well priced and totally worth it. I'd definitely go back

One of the verrry best my tastebuds have had ! ordered this beautiful plate, props to their whole family for making a great experience & tasty sushi. Will be enjoying more plates in the future!

Unfortunately the restaurant changed ownership in June/July of 2022. We were huge fans of Uni and the previous owners chef Kahn and his sons David and TK. We ate an average of once a week for about 6-7 years. Chef Kahn retired and sold the restaurant and it is not the same. We have tried and tried to like it. We really wanted it to work... but it is a shell of the former owners. It won't be around long with the current ownership. I just hate writing this review as this was our go to place for so many years.

We were looking for a nice date restaurant and found it at Uni. Service was great from Young and Teddy, being attentive the whole meal, while also letting us enjoy our time alone. We both ordered sushi sashimi omakase and the chef started us with miso soup and edamame. The tofu in the soup was chewier, probably medium firmness, compared to soft ones I've had. And the edamame is perfect. When our plates came out, there were generous portions of tuna, salmon, yellowtail, seared albacore, shrimp and imitation crab. Even each piece was a decent size. Afterwards, we were thinking we should have only ordered one plate and added something else because we were so full. We also ordered 2 servings of salmon roe (Ikura) sushi and they were generous with our order as well. We weren't sure how they would taste from the looks of them, but they were delicious! Appreciated the great service and food!

The WORST SERVICE! I am beyond furious with the LACK of customer care from this restaurant. As someone who was in the restaurant business for 10 years, i have never felt more disrespected and RACIALLY PROFILED. I waited as my family and I watched every single person in the restaurant get water, offered drinks, brought their food. As we sat there waiting for service. We had to ask multiple times just for water. We received our food 25 minutes after the people who sat down after us. We cleaned our own table, and finished our sushi roll before even receiving condiments. The SERVICE IS HORRIFIC, which is unfortunate because the food is good. I am literally sitting in their business now writing this as i wait 20 minutes for SASHIMI! Lord please.

My favorite is the seared tuna and seared salmon. They also have the butterfly kiss roll with SEARED option. Ugh so good. I wish the restaurant was bigger.

We followed yelp to this little gem. It is huddled off the main strip of 'downtown Plano', but it is worth looking for! We did all lobster/crawfish/cajun/tempura - they were fan-freaking-tastic! We ordered 4 rolls for 2 hungry people- should have done 3-

The go to spot for sushi to-go in Plano. Father/son duo behind the counter are super friendly and host staff are great as well. Can't go wrong with the shrimp dumplings. Pitchfork roll is fantastic and the popcorn lobster roll is over the top.

Great sushi! Rolls are huge also. I've only been here once for take out, but I will come back. Chef was also very generous and threw in some free miso soup, seaweed salad, and edamame. I think I was one of their first customers when they opened for dinner. So nice, and everything was delicious. Can't wait to try other rolls!

The fish is incredibly fresh and the service is great. It's never packed which is surprising because it's some of the best sushi I've ever had (and I'm a sushi snob.) Try the Paradise Roll!!

Not sure if it's family owned but it has that warm cozy feel to it not to mention the food is great too!! They've made a regular customer outta me!!

This place is great for to go orders. The staff is super friendly. They also gave me a complimentary cup of soup and edamame! Great local place.

This place is amazing! We tried a little bit of everything, and it was all delicious. Best sushi, and bulgogi I've ever had! Will be going back! Thank you guys for the awesome experience

Completely blown away by the customer service AND food! This place has such delicious fresh avocado rolls. Also the veggie roll was SO good (almost too pretty to eat), the seaweed salad was perfect and not over salted like a lot of places! highly recommend to take out and eat at the beautiful park located close by or take home! I also love that it is family owned which means EVERYONE genuinely cares about their customers coming back!

Probably the best sushi I've ever eaten! You may have to wait a bit for a table but well worth it! Come early to get seated and stay late enjoying the freshest sushi and sashimi!

Excellent food and relaxing time. We enjoyed the friendly service and will definitely come back again

Once a friend learned that I loved sushi, he mentioned that I should try out the new sushi place in downtown Plano. The husband and I thought that was a great idea and since our staycation seemed to be focused on "Let's go to ____ to eat," we headed to Uni for lunch. Uni was packed - every table and chair at the sushi bar was filled. (We were later told by many people that this was unusual - but maybe from the number of positive reviews we read, Uni should consider this the new normal.) The restaurant seemed unprepared for that level of busyness. One server tried gamely - and graciously - to visit every table, take orders, refill water and was quite apologetic about the wait. A sign of the busy? When we placed our order, he said it would be prepared "as soon as possible." And that was definitely an accurate statement: One gentleman (the owner?) rolled our sushi while he had an assistant garnishing and caring for the hot food preparation. It may be that this level of busy and small staff size was the reason our rolls were very loose when delivered - it was difficult to eat a piece without it falling apart. You may think from these two critical comments that we were unhappy with our experience. You would be wrong. We've eaten a lot of sushi over the years, at many wonderful and noted restaurants and can confidently say that Uni Sushi was some of the best we've ever had. The sauce flavors were amazing - delicately applied and not overdone. The fish was equally excellent. I loved their seaweed salad. The pricing was more than fair - in fact, they may want to raise prices some for the basic lunch special. I want Uni to figure out how to balance staffing so service speed and presentation quality are at the level they should be as word spreads and business continues to increase. They deserve to be successful. Uni very much feels like a family-owned restaurant and I can't wait to eat there many many many more times.

Love me some Uni Sushi. This restaurant has such a caring staff and the food is wonderfully delicious. One of the best sushi restaurants in this part of town. I recommend trying their soft shell crab, it's a delight.

Great place, hadn't been there before - loved the food would recommend !!!. We ordered the regular sushi rolls and added some different things to them- we will be returning

I think the service was definitely 5 star, our waiter was very friendly, explained different types of sake to us. The food was good in gdneral, specially the pop corn lobster roll. The only problem with all the rolls was thd rice, it was not the best and wasn't holding the ingredients together.

Perfect sushi presented perfectly! Have tried many others and they all pale in comparison! You will NOT be disappointed.

We tried Uni Sushi for a late Valentine's Day dinner and were pleasantly surprised at how great it was! It was a small cute little restaurant with a great atmosphere. My husband is a big spicy tuna fan and Uni did not disappoint on that. We started off with dumplings (which were some of the best we have ever had) and spicy tuna rolls. We then got the popcorn lobster roll and J.C. Roll and both were so fresh and amazing. We have absolutely found our new go-to sushi place in Plano!

Good food, fair price, good ambiance, friendly staffs. One of my family favorite place to ear sushi, specially for special occasions.

I went to Uni last week on a Monday evening for dinner. It's located behind some apartments on Ave. K in the heart of Downtown Plano. Free parking is available in the apartment parking garage. Also, you can enter through the back of the building closest to the garage. First impression: cute, intimate restaurant with soft and relaxing music and eclectic decor. There is a sushi chef visible to almost everyone making sushi and you can sit at the sushi bar and eat as well. There is also a tv on low volume that you can watch, it makes the place a little more casual, but not in a bad way. The menu is relatively short and simple. My friend and I ordered edamame as an appetizer and two rolls to share-- Snow Mountain Roll and Special Dragon Roll (deep fried). We both really liked the Dragon roll, but the Snow Mountain Roll was a little too fishy tasting. Will probably not get that one again. My friend also ordered tea (they only had green tea) which came in a little cute teapot. However, the tea bag seemed to have lost all its flavoring because she said it tasted like she was just drinking hot water. Service was pretty good though-waiter and busboy were nice and packed up our food to go. Overall, I would give this place 4/5 stars and will visit again if I am looking for a sushi place in that area. I know I have had better sushi before so that's the primary reason for one star off. Enjoy!

WOW !!! I'm so sad I'm moving away from downtown Plano cause this place is FIRE! I'll be back regardless the drive! Thank you for great service and some amazing food!

My friend was raving about the sushiritto, and I was a bit skeptical about the sushi + burrito concept. I thought it might be a fad like the ramen burger. So to try this mystical sushi burrito, we drove from downtown Dallas all the way to downtown Plano. There is a free parking garage in back, and Uni Sushi is tucked in the corner. After this dinner, I realized the trek was worth it and I will be back here whenever I can... The sushiritto is so delicious! It's a handy burrito shape, so it's easy to pick up and eat (esp for those who have yet to master chopsticks). I can see this sushiritto being a good intro for sushi newbies who don't have a good handle on chopsticks and are constantly frustrated from the rolls breaking apart on them. There's a paper wrapping to tear as you devour. The sashimi was fresh, and there was an assortment of imitation crab, tuna, and salmon sashimi. A lot of restaurants pack on a lot of rice and give smaller amounts of sashimi...but this sushiritto featured generous amounts of sashimi! The rice quantity was just right. It's a good amount of food, too. I took a fourth of it home because I couldn't finish it and it still tasted amazing the next morning. For dessert, we ordered two mochi ice creams. Our waiter gave us one bonus mochi on the house. Small gestures like this make the dinner all the more pleasant and pleasing. :) Green tea mochi was delicious, but I was addicted to the mango!! The mochi is a pretty good size. It's mostly ice cream wrapped in mochi skin and cut into bite-sized quarters. Surprisingly the chocolate sauce was really good and I made sure to smudge as much as I could on the mochi's. The atmosphere is great for an intimate quiet peaceful dinner. Service is top notch and helpful. I'm quite envious of those who live right above the restaurant... It was the perfect dinner and I will be back next time I'm in Dallas!

For the Dallas area, this sushi place is probably 3.5 stars. I thought the Nigiri was better than Edohana Sushi. It didn't have that previously frozen texture. Most of the sashimi and nigiri in Texas, is difficult for me to eat, because even the slightest bit of fishiness turns me off, but Uni Sushi was pretty decent. The fish didn't seem as fresh as Little Katana though. We had the sushi omakase and it was pretty good and had no problem finishing it. For the amount of food, we though $20 was a fair price. We also ordered the shrimp shumai and the kalbi appetizer. Both were pretty standard, but nothing spectacular and a little pricey $10 appetizers. The restaurant has a date night sort of ambiance. The service here by our waiter was pretty good as well. He was pretty friendly. Uni Sushi isn't comparable to sushi in California, but I think it's better quality than most places in Texas for the price point. Certainly, worth a try!

I tried this place for the first time since moving in the area and I have to say I was very pleased with everything. The service was good , food was great and the atmosphere was super cute. I had the miso soup, Japanese beer, and spring green roll ( which is perfect for someone watching their carb intake). My friend had the Alaska roll which was also delicious. The food was so fresh and I will becomhere frequently

We went here last night for dinner and I can't wait to go back! It is very small and intimate, only a few tables and then a few bar seats. We ordered the Snow Mountain Roll and the Dazzle Roll. They give you a lot of food for a great price, only $12.95 for each roll and it is plenty! Everything tasted super fresh and I can't wait to come back and try the Tuna Tower! The service was great, our server was attentive and friendly.

Uh huh yes, thou would not believe if I told you we picked this place at random but so glad we did. This is what you call a focused dining experience. Don't come here if you are in a rush - order takeout instead. The very few staff are like a small orchestra who give your food the attention it deserves to get to your table quick so that you can enjoy it and say like we did:"what took us so long to get here? The food was amazing, presentation is spot-ON We ordered from the menu #1 and #2 Please go early :)

Came here for lunch today with my dad. Normally he's very picky when it comes to eating sushi, but he really loved the sushi here! The rolls and sashimi were so fresh and flavorful, the place was clean, and the server and staff were very friendly and accommodating. Definitely coming back to try more of their delicious food.
