A place where Unagi lovers need to check out in Guoco Tower. Unatoto is a popular Unagi Don chain in Japan.
Dinner venue was at the SBCD Korean Tofu House branch in Guoco Tower and while there wasn't a queue; the situation at its next door neighbor, Unatoto, was vastly different, with about 20 persons in line!
Besides eel dishes, there are also some side dishes at Unatoto Singapore. We tried the rolled egg and chawanmushi. Both were good and we would certainly be happy to order them again.
The unagi was fairly soft and tender, moderately sweet, and came with a good smokiness and char. Not the best, but you cannot expect that with the price. Quite nice and affordable, with a serious queue nearing lunchtime.
I finally made it down to the Tanjong Pagar outlet of Unatoto at Guoco Tower (7 Wallich Street #B1-03, 6015-0591).
Unagi is often thought of as a relatively expensive and premium Japanese ingredient. I feel that Unatoto targets that void in the market in terms of serving unagi at an affordable price point.
