"If you’re the type who might feel guilty about ordering a single spoonful of food that costs $26, then save Uni for your birthday when you can slurp down this mixture of quail egg and caviar with zero shame. This Back Bay izakaya is a fun, sceney spot that works for either dinner or late-night ramen after you finish at the bars. Luckily, you can usually get a reservation the day before, so even if you’ve been pretending that your birthday isn’t actually coming, Uni’s an excellent option." - joel ang, dan secatore, tanya edwards
