This listing's current published materials advertise Wagyu, but the offering does not meet our full verification standard for provenance. It carries no authenticity badge; undisclosed details remain explicitly unverified.
Why it's listed
Ken Oringer and Tony Messina's contemporary izakaya inside the Eliot Hotel in Back Bay, open nightly from 5:30 PM. Wagyu runs across the whole operation: an A5 Wagyu Sirloin sold at 30/oz, a Grilled Wagyu Flat Iron at 54, Wagyu Tartare at 18 and Wagyu Beef Dumplings at 26 on the a la carte, plus a Wagyu Beef Short Rib course on the daily tasting menu and a Grilled Wagyu Hanger supplement on the weeknight prix fixe.

Common questions
- Does Uni serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on July 22, 2026. What the menu does not do is say which Wagyu: no prefecture, grade, breed status or producer is published, so the sourcing cannot be checked from outside. That is a gap in what is written down rather than a suggestion that anything is wrong with the beef, and plenty of kitchens buy carefully without printing the details.
- What kind of Wagyu does Uni serve?
- Its menu discloses unknown and A5 Japanese. Each of those is taken from the venue's own current materials rather than from a review or a listing site, and the evidence behind it is quoted further down this page.
- Why is Uni listed without a Wagyu badge?
- Because a badge here means the sourcing was checked, not that the food is good. This listing is published because the venue genuinely advertises Wagyu on its own current material, and it carries no badge because that material does not say which Wagyu. If the venue publishes the prefecture, grade, breed status or producer, the listing can move.
