I suddenly had a craving for sushi, and since it was close to my house, I made a reservation and visited! I had high expectations due to the restaurant's reputation for excellent cost performance. The place is a hidden gem just a short walk from Meguro Station. Inside, it has a dim, calming atmosphere, and I took a seat at the counter. I ordered a beer to start. The drink menu featured some unusual options for a sushi restaurant, like a kettle of tea highball, and the prices were very reasonable. After the beer, I had the tea highball from the kettle✨. Both the sushi and appetizers were of very high quality, leaving me in disbelief at such great food for the price! To top it off, I learned that I could add two extra pieces at the end, and since I hadn't had abalone and white shrimp, I ordered those! The extra pieces were also incredibly delicious m(_ _)m. Personally, I found the shirako (cod milt), chu-toro (medium fatty tuna), grilled sanma (autumn fish), takoyaki, tuna sukiyaki, gari maki (ginger roll), and uni (sea urchin) to be especially tasty✨. The satisfaction I felt for this price was quite shocking! I will definitely be coming back in the future m(_ _)m.

This was my first visit! My impression is that the cost-performance, taste, and atmosphere are all great!!! Honestly, I didn't have high expectations, but it far exceeded them!!! Everything was delicious, but I was especially surprised when the takoyaki came out! I will definitely come back!

The restaurant has two seating times, at 6 PM and 8:30 PM, with a course-only menu. Tonight, there were 4 groups of 2 guests each at the 10-seat counter. The drinks were ordered in the order the guests arrived, and once everyone was settled, the meal began. This system seemed easy to manage since all dishes were served in the same order to everyone. For billing, the drinks were recorded individually in a notebook. Now, regarding the food, I thoroughly enjoyed the appetizers and sushi. The Wakame seaweed from Naruto had an unexpectedly delightful crunch. The steamed egg custard with plenty of cod roe was delicious as well. It was a surprise to have takoyaki served between the sushi, an unexpected twist! After completing the meal, we were offered “two pieces on the house.” I decided to try the mackerel, which wasn’t part of the course, and ordered squid again. When the chef showed us the fish that wasn't on the course menu, he mentioned, “Today’s toro looks a bit sad, as you can see,” which truthfully reflected my own thoughts. Thank you for the meal!

Sushi with firm rice, good tempo, assorted toppings. For the job, it’s pretty decent. We had natural naruto wakame, steamed flatfish sushi from Akkeshi, steamed oysters from Nagasaki, and medium fatty tuna from Honmaguro. Charred surf clam was excellent, followed by white fish with ponzu sauce, horse mackerel, and takoyaki. We also had grilled scallops and sweet shrimp. We ordered marinated tuna, squid, and deep-fried sweet shrimp heads. The mackerel was prepared as a tataki roll, which wasn’t great. There was flatfish, fatty tuna sukiyaki with extra rice, tuna tartare, sea grapes, and eel. We enjoyed sea urchin, excellent pickled radish, tamagoyaki (Japanese omelette), and shiso wrapped in sushi. We had clam miso soup and apple sorbet, both of which were excellent. I had a highball, and the total came to 9,768 yen. There’s an option for two extra pieces of sushi, but I gave up. Young people, definitely give this a try!

**Genre:** Sushi **Location:** Address: Ooba Building 1F, 2-13-44 Kamioozaki, Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo Nearest Station: 3-minute walk from JR Meguro Station. Exit the East Gate of Meguro Station, turn left, and follow the small path beside the conveyor belt sushi restaurant Misaki Port. Turn right at the end of the road near "Mongolian Tantanmen Nakamoto," and you will find it right there. On a Sunday evening, I dined at "Sushi-ya no Uokin Meguro," a restaurant I had reserved about two weeks in advance. This sushi spot is operated by "Uokin," a popular restaurant known for its fresh seafood and casual dining atmosphere. It’s a great place to enjoy sushi at the counter. **Date and Time:** November 2024, Sunday at 18:00 **Number of Guests:** 2 **Restaurant:** This newly opened and beautifully designed restaurant just started in April 2024. It operates on a completely reservation-only basis with set start times at 16:00, 18:00, and 20:30. The place was bustling and fully booked that evening. While I checked online for reservations on Tabelog, it seemed relatively easy to secure a spot. Customers can enjoy conversations with the chef at the counter while savoring sushi and drinks, although the chef was quite reserved, focusing intently on preparing the sushi and providing explanations for each dish served one-by-one. Handling eight guests at once can be quite challenging for him, especially to deliver all the items on the day's menu within the time limit. **Ordering and Payment:** Ordering method: One course only, completely reservation-based. Payment: Card **Order:** 1️⃣ **Counter Seat** Chef’s Selection Sushi Course with 24 Dishes **Meal:** Counting the dishes from appetizers to dessert, I received a total of 26 dishes plus 2 extra, making for a grand total of 28 dishes for 8,300 yen (plus an additional 10% service charge). This course includes high-end ingredients like medium fatty tuna, abalone, sweet shrimp, and sea urchin, which I believe is quite affordable at this price. When the chef started making takoyaki, I wondered why, but it turns out he wanted to offer the tender octopus used in a different presentation. I'm glad I'm a fan of takoyaki; it’s interesting to have takoyaki at a sushi restaurant! Personally, I really enjoyed the aji (horse mackerel) gari maki, which consists of open aji roll combined with cucumber and sweet ginger. The fatty aji paired with the sweet and fragrant ginger made for a refreshing treat, and it was nice to have it served later in the meal as my stomach was starting to fill. **Today's Menu:** - Fresh seaweed from Naruto and salted cucumber with ponzu. - Sashimi: Tai (sea bream) - Steamed oyster from Akkeshi - Nigiri: Medium Fatty Tuna from Nagasaki - Steamed sushi - Nigiri: Abalone - Nigiri: Sardine - Grilled Sanma (saury) with liver soy sauce - Tender octopus - Takoyaki: Surprising, but delicious...^^ - Nigiri: Sweet Shrimp from Kumamoto - Deep-fried legs of sweet shrimp (Mugago) - Nigiri: Horse Mackerel - Handroll of Sweet Fish - Nigiri: Marinated Tuna - Tuna Offal with Sukiyaki - Nigiri: Tai with salt and kabosu - Roll: Aji Gari Maki - Handroll: Tuna Belly with Sea Grapes - Gunkan: Sea Urchin - Hosomaki: Tuna Tekka - Nigiri: Anago (Conger Eel) - Thick omelet - Bettara-zuke (pickled daikon) - Clam miso soup - Extra Sushi: Choose any two (excluding sea urchin) - Nigiri: Medium Fatty Tuna (Nagasaki) and Tuna Taku Handroll. - Apple Gelato - Drink: Oze no Yukidoke Uoisamui Junmai (pure rice sake) 1 go - Oolong tea × 2 This place is highly recommended for those who want to enjoy counter sushi without formality. I had a wonderful meal. Thank you very much!

I had the Chef's Omakase course for 8,300 yen. Dishes came out in a nice, quick tempo, and at the end, I was able to choose two more dishes for a refill. Everything was delicious, making it hard to decide what to get for my refills. Since it was Sunday, there were a few items that were already sold out. It might be better to visit at the beginning of the week for a wider selection. With the quality of the food at this price, I left feeling full and very satisfied! I look forward to coming back on another occasion.

I made a reservation to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday, hoping we could enjoy some delicious sushi together! We sat at the counter and ordered directly. The sushi prepared right in front of us was incredibly tasty, and I was surprised to see high-end items like sea urchin served as well. At the end, we were allowed to request two of our favorite types of sushi, so it might be a good idea to decide on those in advance. The portion size was quite generous for the price, which made the drinks go down smoothly! I’d love to visit again for a special occasion!

I visited this restaurant for work, so I couldn't take many photos and ended up with a lack of material. Surprisingly, I was able to make a reservation the day before. I had been interested in this place for a while, so I was looking forward to it. I arrived on a weekday around 6:00 PM and was called to a private room right away. The appetizers, sushi, and bite-sized dishes came out one after another. I started with a beer, and then we shared three servings of various sake, which were easy to try at around 1,400 yen per serving. The sushi had a larger amount of rice, so I switched to less rice partway through, but it was still a bit much. Overall, I was quite satisfied. The squid from Aomori was delicious. Though we were rushed out due to a time limit, it’s understandable for a revolving restaurant. Thank you for the meal!

At Fish King in Tokyo, the omakase sushi for 8,300 yen is truly exceptional. The restaurant operates in three time slots: 4 PM, 6 PM, and 8 PM, and I started at 4 PM. It was understandably busy, making it a bit rushed to fully enjoy the sushi, but given the price, I was satisfied. For the 6 PM and 8 PM sessions, they also make takoyaki, showcasing various creative touches. Interestingly, the 4 PM session doesn't include the takoyaki, but in its place, they offer an extra piece of sushi.

Tomorrow is my birthday, so I'm heading to New Shimbashi for sushi. I've been to Okushin before, and this time I'm visiting Meguro on Thursday at 6 PM. Since I made a reservation, there was no wait. The explanation of the course was quite long, so I referred to others. The takoyaki seems to have mixed reviews, but as someone from Kansai, I find it acceptable. I never expected to eat it with sauce and mayonnaise at a sushi restaurant. I would have been happier if the oysters were raw. As it’s my birthday, we were treated to a complimentary cocktail sushi, which was a delightful surprise even at my age. I ordered two extra pieces: sweet shrimp and toro-taku. My dining partner enjoyed eel and engawa with salt, claiming those two pieces were the most delicious. At this stage in life, approaching 50, I still find myself in a dilemma. We had beer, oolong tea, and two cups of sake, totaling just over 20,000 yen. It’s hard to believe that this course used to be 4,800 yen. The chef was attentive and asked about my preferred size for the sushi rice, which contributed to the great service. Overall, I was very satisfied and will definitely come back. Thank you for the meal!

I made a reservation and visited the restaurant on a Friday night. It mainly has a counter setting, and I enjoyed an omakase course. Each dish was small, but there were many items, allowing me to savor a variety of flavors. You can also request the size of the sushi rice. At the end of the meal, you can order two pieces of your favorite sushi again, so I recommend remembering your favorites.

It took about 3 to 4 minutes from Meguro Station. I visited Uokin Meguro, a sushi restaurant, for a work meeting. Since there were a lot of people, we reserved a table in a private room. As expected from the Uokin chain, the portion sizes were enormous. It seems like they focus more on quantity and presentation. They even served takoyaki, which was a surprise! Well, it does have octopus inside... I think this would be a fun place to go with close friends. Thank you for the meal!

This is a counter sushi restaurant from the Uokin chain. It has a limited number of seats, but I made a reservation about a week in advance for a weeknight visit. Considering it's a counter sushi restaurant, I found it to be relatively affordable and a great value for money. Each piece is served slowly with a smaller amount of rice, but it ended up being quite filling, especially when enjoyed with drinks! They have a variety of sake, and I had a great time trying out many different types. Since it’s a budget-friendly sushi place, it doesn’t have high-end ingredients, but for the average person, the ambiance and the experience are quite different from everyday sushi. Each piece feels soft, elegant, and delicious! The gari (pickled ginger) and nori (seaweed) were also tasty. For the last two pieces, you can request the day's special or ask for your favorite topping as a refill.

The counter sushi for 7,800 yen including tax is an amazing deal, isn't it? They also have a variety of alcoholic beverages at reasonable prices. I ended up drinking a bit too much. The sushi rice is made with red vinegar, and it's great that they ask before starting if you'd like a smaller portion of rice. I plan to come back here with my colleagues. We had 4 to 5 servings of sake, and our total for two was 24,000 yen. Thank you for the delicious meal!

Uokin Sushi in Meguro has opened a new location in Shinbashi, and since I have to support my neighborhood, I just had to go! It's a three-part meal with a fixed start time, featuring a variety of nigiri and small dishes for 7,800 yen. This is pretty great, so I'm good with that! I enjoyed my time and left happy.

I really loved the sushi! Everything was delicious! I thought it was unique that they served takoyaki as a side dish. Haha. Unlike the New Shinbashi location, the seats were spacious, which was great. The sushi at Uokin is truly a good value, so I’ll definitely go again! The Meguro location was really nice!

I've been to Shimbashi a few times, but this was my first visit to the Meguro location. We reserved a private semi-room for three, which was spacious and made it easy to chat. The sushi was just as delicious as at Shimbashi, with firm rice and a well-balanced vinegar flavor that I really liked. The octopus shabu was flavorful with a nice ginger kick, and it also came with clams, which were tasty. Like at Shimbashi, I appreciated that we could order two extra pieces at the end. The only downside was that the restroom was co-ed and only had one toilet. So far, it seems easy to make a reservation, and I definitely want to go back again.

I heard from a friend that a new place opened in Meguro, so I decided to check it out. Since the counter was fully booked when I made the reservation, I opted for a semi-private room. It turned out to be a table for six, which was a pleasant surprise for just the two of us, giving us plenty of space. The overall portion sizes of the food were quite generous, and I was very satisfied. It seems that the course menu changes with the seasons. The octopus shabu-shabu was delicious. I was glad I skipped breakfast and lunch to enjoy the meal. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

You can enjoy a generous course meal at a reasonable price! I visited this restaurant thanks to a reservation made by a friend! I was amazed by the efficient service of serving 24 dishes in just 90 minutes! I think it's perfect for those who want to eat delicious sushi quickly. Thank you for the meal!

This is my second visit. We arrived at 4 PM with three people. I didn't realize that the 4 PM time slot had a 90-minute limit when I made the reservation, so everything was served at a very fast pace, causing quite a congestion on the table and a bit of a rush. The sushi was delicious as always. If you want to enjoy your drinks and take your time, I definitely recommend going for the evening slot instead.
