Why Travelers Love Hakodate Uni
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
For the freshness - no doubt. For the service and dining atmosphere - perfect. For the taste - a little disappointing. It was tasty, but not matched with my expectation. Uni I had in the market was better. Anyway it was a nice place to eat but not that ideal if taking the price into consideration. We were lucky that didn’t have to wait without a reservation. Go early to avoid the crowds! We visited in the beginning of June and hoping to try some decent Uni, my first time visiting Hokkaido - the origin of some authentic Japanese uni and seafood, I do have some hopes for tasty food... Ordered the Uni Don but I gotta say it’s just average. The Uni tasted abit bland and not as delicate as we thought it would be, we are guessing it’s Murasaki Uni that we had. Not saying it’s a bad bowl of rice, but just not worth in flying half the globe for this. I am assuming this dish would give us good quality Uni as this bowl of Uni Don is not cheap. Also want to mention this meal is only our second dinner since we arrive Japan so our standard is still pretty low - Canadian standard 🥲.. and we came hungry for this meal so we think we would be easy to please if we are served with anything that are close to decent … We also ordered the seafood Don but the ingredients is not impressive. The seafood doesn’t have much taste, not sure why… Its slightly better than the all you can eat restaurant in Canada unfortunately. For this price and quality, it’s not my cup of tea unfortunately. That’s my opinion of course and your experience may differ. Best restaurant for Uni in Sapporo! Strategically located within 10mins walk from Sapporo station, this place is a must visit if youre in town. We ordered the 60gr box, the 80gr box already sold out when we came :( And the grilled fish and sake which were perfect additions to the dinner! Super happy customer 👍🏻

5/5 for the food. 5/5 for the service by the staff. 5/5 for the atmosphere ! All of the staff could communicate decently and respectfully in English for foreigners. Food was exceptional - best uni we’ve had in a few years, and crisp tempura full of flavor. Glad we reserved a table thru jpneazy a few days ago bc there was a very long queue when we were leaving at 8:15pm.

Lovely restaurant, great uni, so good I had to re order 3 times. Dish sizes were just right and the sake was very good too. Great seafood experience. Atmosphere very peaceful and quiet.
