UNI (Belgravia)

• Last week when the whole country was sat sour faced in front of their TV screens
• UNI restaurant and sushi bar is all about the vibrant colours
• There's even an inventive selection of tempura and maki with perfectly balanced sharp flavours and an accent on colour &ndash
• Showcasing the very best of Japanese/Peruvian cuisine
• The service was faultless throughout the evening with an emphasis on making diner's feel as comfortable as possible
• Stand out dishes from the evening were the Salmon Tartare Tacos with Cucumber
• Definitely get your fingers involved if you're not a pro with the chopsticks
• A Kaiso Seaweed Salad with Goma Dressing
• A certain crowd pleaser is the Tiger Prawn Tempura
• I loved but the dish of the night for me was the Sea Bass with a Yuzu Dressing &
• It was cooked to perfection with a beautifully crisp skin that was slightly charred
• Coupled with the yuzu dressing was a delicious mouthful for sure
• Finally the perfect way to finish the night was with a selection of mochi ice creams
• Such as Yuzu and Lemon and they were covered in a jelly like case
• We were told is actually a punted sticky rice
• It worked for us and was a refreshing end to a brilliant meal
• Sushi lovers this is definitely one for you
• The largest Japanese settlement outside of Japan is in Peru and the unique fusion cuisine that is Japanese Peruvian is called Nikkei
• In Belgravia minutes away from the travel hub that is Victoria station
• Starters I got some steamed edamame with a spicy chilli and garlic sauce (£
• To make life easier we chose to have bento boxes for our mains and mine came with the udon noodle and fish cake soup while Fiona had a light Miso soup
• Main of duck tataki seared duck breast finely sliced and dressed with mirin and soy
• The duck tataki was deliciously morish
• I also loved the seaweed salad and the sticky fried rice with the sashimi was very filling
• Fionas bento box came with steamed rice and anticucho sauce black cod and was very appetising
• We washed down our Bento lunch boxes with some chilled sake
• Tiraditos of Yellowtail with kizami wasabi
• Sharp in taste with a delicate balance of colour and flavour
• Masago and creamy miso were crunchy and melt in your mouth creamy all at one once exploding with a light flavour in every bite delicious
• To my amusement the very attentive young lady on the staff showed us how the colourful lamp shade were made from bottle of campari that could be detached and well glugged
• Given it was a hot summer afternoon I think it was a great idea that Fiona ordered us some Pisco Sour shots instead
• Fiona managed to stay light with desserts too with a selection of fresh fruit
• The Peruvian influence is prevalent throughout UNI&rsquo
• Victoria being a very office space kind of area is lucky to have Uni in its midst now
• Seven dish bento boxes for short lunch hours are on offer at a price of course
• Mr Silver and I count ourselves are very lucky to live in central London
• A great sushi restaurant had been seriously lacking in our local area but that was until Uni opened up in Belgravia
• The restaurant is small and intimate and they sat us in the perfect little nook for two
• Cool counter top dining was also available upstairs but we were very happy with a cuddly cubby hole
• I have to say this is one of my favourite food trends to hit London of late
• As usual it was hard to make a choice with a menu of such fantastic options from former Nobu chef
• Yellowtail sashimi salad was my favourite dish of the night
• The dish was spicy with chilli and zesty with lemon
• Rock shrimp tempura served with creamy spicy sauce and ponzu dressing
• We then cooled things off with a sorbet and ice cream selection
• Watch this space as Victoria and Belgravia is continuing to grow and become a bit of a foodie hub and I hope to post some more reviews of restaurants in my local area soon
• UNI (Belgravia) is fantabulous
• Crispy taco shell filled with light poached salmon
• Warm place with finesse and a novel setting
• Perhaps the ambience in the evening is more 'party dress'
• I must admit that as I was craving sushi
• Almost every table filled up with the working masses
• The smoothie that my companion ordered just a few minutes later took nearly an hour to arrive (and that was after prompting as it seems they had forgotten the order) and by then
• The waitress who seated us was so friendly and even told us about the sushi masterclasses available if you wish to try and emulate these recipes in your own kitchen
• Was one of the more expensive dishes but was worth every penny
• It came with a choice of 2 dips but we soon realised we were after the same one
• Dessert choices are a little more limited but there is enough to get by on
• I would definitely like to return again as there are many other items on the menu including Miso Black Cod
• I do feel there is some room for improvement with the service
• The staff themselves were very friendly
• Accommodating and kind the issues were more due to speed of being served
• Not coming to take our payment for ages even when we had expressed we were in a rush etc
• Perhaps they are short staffed or perhaps there is just some room for improvement in efficiency but had it not been for this small issue
• UNI in Victoria is a fine example of where it's done well
• I was invited to review the restaurant so took the boy along with me to eat all the food
• Me it was the sake with pineapple juice and passion fruit I can't remember the actual name of the cocktail
• There were only two waiters in the whole restaurant therefore the service was literally horrible
• S menu a few weeks back and was pleased to have done so
• Spread over two attractive floors with marble and leather design elements
• The restaurant exuded an upscale elegance with the causal air of a beloved neighbourhood haunt
• Sea bass nigiri was hard to chew
• X1 nabe udon noodles with prawn tempura £
