Back at Unatoto Guco Tower after my 2023 visit, and I’m excited to explore the latest additions to their menu!

In contrast to my previous visit, the interior has been updated with faux sakura blossoms and walls fully decorated with printed menus and clippings, creating a lively and thematic atmosphere.

The updated ambiance isn’t the only change. Let’s check out the latest items they have added to the menu!

We skipped the alcohol this time, after all, someone had to be behind the wheel. Instead, we opted for a comforting cup of hot green tea, perfect for a cold and rainy day.

Green Tea - $2 (Non Refillable)

No visit to a Japanese restaurant feels complete for my dining partner without a serving of chawanmushi. This one was a standout, expertly steamed with that signature silky texture, featuring familiar favorites like Japanese fish cake and tender chicken.

Chawanmushi - $5.50

We started off with the aburi chashu as an appetizer, and it was beautifully presented. The thin slices of flame-seared pork belly were laid out like petals, each topped with a swirl of creamy mayo and a sprinkle of spring onions. Slightly charred edges added a smoky depth to the tender, melt-in-your-mouth meat. A visually striking and delicious start to the meal!

Aburi Chashu - $7

This Umaki (half portion) stole the spotlight with its perfect texture and presentation. The soft tamago envelops a piece of grilled unagi, bringing a gentle sweetness and umami in every bite. That signature branding on top elevated the visual appeal!

Umaki (Half Size) - $5

The assorted mixed skewers set included four sticks, offering a tasty variety of grilled delights: tender chicken thigh, crispy-edged chicken wing, and a rich, savory unagi skewer. A great choice for sampling different flavors.

Assorted Mix Skewers - $12

The beef curry was a new addition to the menu and came beautifully presented. On the left, tender slices of beef were nestled in a pool of sweet Japanese curry, while a neat portion of rice sat on the right. Finely chopped green spring onions were placed right in the middle, bridging the curry and rice, adding a pop of color and freshness to the dish.

Beef Curry - $19

The starring item is none other than their unagi. The Unajyu Deluxe was a great choice for sharing, especially since we had several other dishes to enjoy. The eel still packed that delicious smoky flavor we loved from before.

Unajyu Deluxe - $23.50

The Salmon and Ikura with Tartar Sauce was another standout new item. The creamy tartar sauce brought a refreshing balance, while the ikura added bursts of umami and texture that made each bite more exciting.

Salmon and Ikura with Tartar Sauce - $15.90

We ended the meal on a refreshing note with the Matcha Warabimochi & Ice Cream served with black honey. The matcha ice cream was smooth and creamy, with none of the usual bitterness, just pure, mellow matcha flavor. The Matcha Warabimochi, on the other hand, had a slight bitter edge, but the drizzle of black honey balanced it out beautifully, tying everything together into a sweet and satisfying finish.

Matcha Warabimochi & Ice Cream with Black Honey - $7.50

On a side note, they offered a complimentary Ebi tempura for customers who left a Google review on the spot—a nice little bonus to end the meal!

All in all, it was another enjoyable experience at Unatoto Guoco Tower. Visiting on the weekend turned out to be a great choice, the atmosphere was relaxed, and it wasn’t as crowded as other spots. With thoughtful new menu additions and consistent quality, it’s definitely a place worth revisiting.
