I chose an early dinner to prepare for errands in the evening. At around 4 PM, it was a bit of an awkward time and the restaurant was empty. I ordered the extra large eel bowl, which arrived quickly. The bowl was filled with thinly sliced eel covered in sauce, with extra sauce and a slow-to-pour container of sansho pepper on the side. After moving aside the layers of eel, I found the rice underneath. The amount of eel was definitely generous. Compared to a simple eel bowl, it was a completely different experience.

I took a leisurely stroll from Shinjuku Station to Center Building. I got a little lost inside, but eventually found my way in. I ordered a double and a lemon sour to start off. Since it was my second stop, I asked for a smaller portion of rice, which seemed to surprise the waiter. I later realized that they offer free extra rice on the menu. The meal was delicious.

◼️ To boost stamina with some delicious and affordable eel, I went with a friend to Unatoto in the basement of Shinjuku Center Building. The register was broken that day so they couldn't provide a receipt, but that was no problem for us.◼️ I ordered the Special Eel Bowl (1800 yen) to combat my summer fatigue, while my friend opted for the Eel Bowl (1580 yen) with extra rice.◼️ The dishes arrived in just 6 minutes, likely because of the constant flow of businessmen coming in and out of this popular spot. The eel, even though it's imported, was tender and tasty, showcasing some impressive cooking skills.◼️ What's even better is the reasonable prices they offer here.◼️ The register has been fixed now, so those who need a receipt can rest easy when dining here.☆☆☆◼️ It can be a bit tricky to find the place, so it's best to check the store directory on the 1st basement floor of the Center Building to locate it! (It's easy to get lost if it's your first time there)

In this heat, I really felt like eating eel, so I had the Big Surprise Unagi Bowl (2,500 yen) for lunch at Unatoto. It seems like they just heat up pre-cooked eel from China, so it lacks the fluffy texture, but I think it's good for when you're in a hurry during lunchtime and just want to eat eel.

Unaju set with liver and pickles for 1180 yen is a reasonable price. It's satisfying to be able to eat eel easily. The eel was about half a portion, so it might have been better to upgrade to Unaju for an additional 620 yen. You will receive a free red miso soup ticket for your next visit at checkout.

Visited with colleagues on the day of the Ox in midsummer. It was a Sunday, which is usually a day off, so we were happy to find it open. My two colleagues were visiting for the first time and seemed to really like it. They were surprised by how affordable it was. They said they want to come back at night next time. The eel with extra rice was just a little over 1000 yen. Normally, it's served for less than 1000 yen! It was another happy midsummer day of the Ox!

This price for this eel, you can't complain. The cost performance is good. It's a good place to use when you want to eat eel quickly, but don't want to buy it from the supermarket. The atmosphere is better than Ueno or Asakusa in terms of location.

Unatoto Shinjuku Center Building Store is a famous eel restaurant located on the basement floor of Shinjuku Center Building. It is easily accessible from Shinjuku Station, Nishi-Shinjuku Station, and Tochomae Station, making it convenient even on rainy days. I ordered the eel bowl set with salad and liver sashimi with extra rice, which cost around 1300 yen, making it quite a good deal. When the dish was served, the balance between the eel, bowl, and rice was not great, but I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious the eel tasted. Despite looking small, the eel was thick and flavorful. The cost performance is quite good for the price. If you still feel hungry, you can order extra eel kabayaki on the side, which is cheaper than ordering an eel bowl set. Overall, it was a satisfying meal. Unatoto Shinjuku Center Building Store is located at Shinjuku Center Building B1F, 1-25-1 Nishi-Shinjuku, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo. Operating hours are Monday to Friday from 11:00 to 23:00 (last order at 22:30) and Saturday from 11:00 to 21:00 (last order at 20:30). Closed on Sundays and holidays.

What a great price! The eel bowl with salad set is only 1,480 yen, and you can even get a free extra serving of rice! The eel was cooked differently from the Tokai region, but it was delicious and juicy. The sauce was a bit too strong, but overall, I was very satisfied. It's going to be hot today, so I'm glad I fueled up properly. Thank you for the meal.

The eel is four times the normal size here. It's located deep in the center of the city, but worth the search. The eel is served as a whole, but it's delicious. You can also ask for extra sauce, so you can enjoy it with a large portion of rice. Don't worry about overeating, as there's salad and soup to balance it out. The rice is so tasty that you won't leave any behind. I'll definitely visit again when I'm craving a huge meal.

I came to Shinjuku for personal reasons in the morning and decided to have eel for lunch, so I went to Unatoto. It had been a while since I last had eel, so I was pleased to see a special offer on the menu - a bowl with 2 pieces of grilled eel for ¥1,100. While the quality may not be as high as a specialty eel restaurant, it was still delicious and I enjoyed my meal. Thank you.

I had a double eel bowl for 1,100 yen, a Malt's beer for 330 yen, and oden for 390 yen at "Unatoto" in Shinjuku Center Building. The oden was a three-piece assortment of daikon radish, konjac, and egg. The Malt's beer came in a small glass and was ordered as a filler until the eel bowl arrived. The daikon radish was thick and well simmered, something that you can't make at home. I learned from past experience that a single eel bowl wasn't enough, so I opted for the double. The cost performance is very good considering what you get for the price. I declined the free extra rice as I've been gaining weight recently.

I had lunch at a restaurant located in the basement of an office building after participating in a hike from Yoyogi Station. The restaurant is closed on Sundays. They were running a campaign for extra-large servings of eel, so I ordered the eel with extra-large serving which was 4 times the normal size for 1,100 yen. My husband had a salad and liver sashimi, while I had a miso soup. The eel was thick and tender, and very delicious. The rice was cooked firm. It was nice that the eel sauce was available on the table for us to use freely. Thank you for the meal.

I ordered a "Double Eel Bowl" for ¥1,100 at the budget eel restaurant "Unatoto" outside Shinjuku Center Building. The rice was free to upsize. I was feeling a bit tired, so I thought, why not have some eel. However, at this price, it's not the kind of eel you might be expecting. It's definitely not the kind that gives you energy or vitality. It's just eel that matches the price.

"Unagi fast food restaurant" "Nadai Unatoto," which has been featured multiple times in TV and magazines, is a popular topic in the media. The appeal of this restaurant is that you can enjoy high-quality and usually expensive eel at a reasonable price. With stores located in Kanto, Tokai, and Kansai regions, it's convenient to satisfy your eel cravings. I visited the Shinjuku Center Building branch and tried their limited-time menu item "Unadon Giga Plus." The highlight of "Unadon Giga Plus" is definitely the amount of eel it offers! It's about four times the usual amount of eel in their chopped eel rice bowl topped with seaweed. Compared to the same-priced double eel bowl, the amount of eel in this dish is significantly more, making it a great deal. The thick and juicy eel grilled with their special sauce is delicious. I opted for the free extra rice, which was just right to complement the generous amount of eel. This menu item is available until September 19th at 45 locations across Japan, including takeout and delivery-only stores. If you love eel, be sure to visit and try it out!"

Today, before work in Komae, I went to "Unatoto" near the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building. I sat at a table in the back of the restaurant and ordered a glass of black Hoppy. For snacks, I had eel skewers, chicken liver skewers, and pickled vegetables. The skewers arrived, but I forgot to take a picture of the chicken liver skewers before eating them. They were delicious and paired well with the Hoppy. I savored the pickled vegetables and eel skewers slowly. Next, I ordered the plum-seasoned chicken breast. By this point, I had already ordered a second set of Hoppy. The plum flavor in the chicken breast was strong and refreshing. For the finale, I had una-don with a little less rice and extra eel. As expected, the portion of eel was generous and the sauce was tasty. While it may not compare to high-end restaurants, considering the cost and quality, I was completely satisfied. I thoroughly enjoyed the eel. Thank you for the meal.

I visited for a drinking lunch on Saturday. The restaurant was quite empty, but they had run out of hitsumabushi, so I ordered a double extra large eel rice bowl instead. The beer was very cheap at 300 yen for a Premium Malt. The eel rice bowl was disappointing as the rice was dry and the grains seemed crushed, indicating poor cooking. The eel itself was average, with a slight hint of unpleasant smell that I tried to mask with the sauce and sansho pepper. It wasn't bad, but it lacked any suitable snacks for drinking, making it unsuitable for a lunchtime drink.

I visited for lunch! It has been hot recently, so I decided to have eel for stamina replenishment. I'm happy that I can eat eel at this price. High-end eel is best enjoyed in a leisurely time. It makes me want to visit a slightly more expensive eel restaurant again.

This is my first visit to the Unatono chain restaurant! I knew it was cheap, so I wanted to see how much food you get for the price. I ordered the Unadon set for 1,090 yen. I had heard that the eel was imported from somewhere, and it's true that the meat is thin and has a strange smell. In this day and age when even beef bowl chains serve decent food, the only way this place could compete is if they focused on grilling the eel. If I'm going to spend 1,000 yen, I could choose to eat something else. Whether this place becomes part of my regular choices is up in the air.

Reasonably priced eel! Tonight, I had a craving for eel after a long time, so I came to the same building where I had dry curry for lunch. It's quite reasonably priced, so I don't think it's domestic eel since the place of origin is not written, but it's grilled over charcoal and has a nice aroma, and the price is reasonable. Recommended for those who want to easily eat grilled eel even if they don't have much budget!
