Always wanted to try out uya bc I really love unagi and wanted to see how it compares to manman 🤪 There was no queue during dinner time on a weekday hence everything was pretty speedy.
.
Hitsumabushi M (~$35) was slightly pricier than ManMan. There was a generous portion of meaty unagi, grilled well and crispy (esp the skin)! Rice was sticky and moist, but imo the sauce wasn’t tasty enough (or maybe it simply wasn’t enough) bc some parts of the rice didn’t have much taste.
.
Dashi broth was really good and I liked how it wasn’t too salty Nor take away the sweetness of the unagi sauce. Overall I’d say uya’s unagi was less smoky than ManMan’s and I personally prefer ManMan but Uya is still really good.
