Comments
UNI Gallery a fitting name for a casual arty corner restaurant that serves fresh air flown uni (sea urchin) and has art on the walls. Tucked away at the back of The Plaza on Beach Road, it is truly a gem to find in a nondescript mall.
Adorned with beautiful art pieces, UNI Gallery is also very Covid-friendly. Each table of four has separators between them. Diners are able to see each other through the fibre glass-type separators and know they are safe distancing without having to try.
UNI Gallery have just launched a 5-course Kaiseki menu for $128++ a highly recommended way to go if you are an uni fan. A lot more value too as sets go, compared to an a la carte meal.
The Kaiseki meal began with a uni pitan tofu – silken tofu with uni cream sauce and century egg. Exquisite and fine, it lent for a great match to the bubbly sake I had for the first time.
While the menu stated five courses, the second course had a variety of five delights arranged beautifully on a platter. The thin slivers of Miyazake A5 Wagyu laid out on a Chinese spoon melted in my mouth.
I would go back for a main of just this, the next time I was back at UNI Gallery. My favourite tuna belly sashimi was also up for grabs. The interesting and delicious shot glass contained Mozuku algae in its slimy form. Definitely not for the faint hearted.
Not expecting a rack of lamb in this fine but reasonably priced Japanese restaurant, chef flambeed it at the table with Whiskey and last of all, with uni cream sauce drizzled over. Great drama for the table and seriously delicious with the mash it lay on.
Such unique offerings at the UNI Gallery! As a break to the meal, we walked over to the three private rooms which were cozily set up for intimate groups of diners.
Lovely setting and a wonderful place to consider if you are planning a party of five get together.
Another unique dish – buah keluak uni pasta. Topped with ikura this pasta was so delicious I could have had another. A qualifier here is that uni is very heavy therefore needs to be paired with sake, which lightens the meal.
We had come to the end of our meal. I have to say uni lovers come on down. For those who are not, there are many familiar options of sushi like dragon rolls that will comfort you.
To end the night a cheesecake with uni enclosed in jelly that topped the ever so delicious cheesecake. With a combo of salted caramel base in the biscuit and the unusually light cheesecake, I did not leave a morsel on my plate.
The UNI Gallery is such fun. Not only will the ambience please you, the bopping music also made me feel celebratory. So well created in its interior and private rooms I would highly recommend this unique restaurant, if you are an uni lover and you love quality.

We ordered the uni chirashi (full portion), fresh salmon sashimi, as well as the kurobuta set.
The uni is on the pricier side, which we already expected. As it is lunch time, our food came with the lunch set (with miso soup, green tea, & salad).
I'm blown away by the uni (the better quality it is, the colour will be brighter). It's pretty amazing & can almost compare to the ones I had in Hokkaido. The price, of course, will also blow you away but it is pretty worth it to try at least once. As compared to Japanese restaurants that serve fishy uni, this uni is not fishy at all. It tastes really buttery & melts in your mouth. Amazing.
The salmon is really fresh & is comparable to sashimi from other good Japanese restaurants we have had. Tastes really sweet & fantastic with the wasabi on the side.
The kurobuta on the other hand, is nothing great. Tastes okay but the fried batter is very good. Would recommend the sashimi & fresh stuff as compared to the cooked menu items.
Overall, this restaurant is on the pricier side but you get what you pa
