| - Had the unagi don today. While I have to say that the rice and the various accompaniments were fresh, and they hadn't been sitting there for very long (the unagi don was pre-packaged, and when I got it, the rice was still just barely warm), I can't give it any more stars because it just doesn't wow me in terms of price to portion and quality. It costed $8.99, and it was large enough for a light lunch or good sized snack.
There's a part of me that wants to say that there wasn't enough unagi in my bowl to call it a unagi don. There was one piece of unagi in my bowl, and it was about the size of a half-full individual pack of Kleenex (the kind you carry in your bag). The rest of the toppings (of which there were plenty) were some broccoli, cucumber, carrot, and tomato slices, a cube of pumpkin (this was incredibly sweet and delicious), what tasted like some shredded radish and tofu pocket stewed in bonito (smoked fish) and soy sauce, and a bit of wakame (seaweed) salad. The rice was quite good. The unagi was fatty and tender and delicious. I really do wish there was more of it.
This unagi don was alright, but I've had better elsewhere (I miss you, Sakana-ya).
