Unagi Ichi — Restaurant in Kowloon

The fried eel rice bowl and grilled eel rice bowl are must try. A very high C/P ratio. Better order the large size bowl since it has a double portion of eel.

Sorry no photos i was too hungry… great food, great location, great vibe. BEST service! Worried about my car getting a ticket I offered to pay first.

No doubt eel is of good quality and they grill them to perfection (very crispy fish skin). You can tell the quality of the eel biting on the skin that doesn’t just tear apart. Hearty donburi with hot steam rice. Definitely a place to heal your unagi craving if you value a restaurant that does...
