At just $14.90, you could do a lot worse than @otoko_midtown umami unagi don. A sizeable slice of eel is slathered in a sweet, sapid teriyaki sauce and grilled just right before it takes a lie down on a bed of rice garnished by shredded omelette. That’s it, that’s the dish.⠀

If you’re thinking that it sounds real simple, that’s because you’re right. I understand that at the price point of fifteen bucks you can’t do much, but there could be improvements made to the dish. The rice was a bit hard and lumpy, and the omelette failed to impress. A soft boiled egg would’ve been a much better idea, and an option to jazz up the ricebowl for a little extra outlay with some tempura vegetables would be nice.⠀

Not gonna lie, I’m being a little harsh for a passably decent unagi ricebowl that’s priced at under twenty bucks. Still, I would like to see some improvement on the dish, as I do think that there’s potential for it.⠀
