HOT-SELLING ITEMS ON UYA MENU SINGAPORE
Hitsumabushi: This is undoubtedly Uya’s signature and most popular dish. It’s a Nagoya-style unagi don, where charcoal-grilled unagi is served on rice in a wooden tub with accompanying condiments and dashi broth.
Nagayaki (Grilled Eel without Rice): For those who want to savour the pure unagi without the rice, the Nagayaki is an excellent choice. It’s a whole piece of grilled unagi, often served with a choice of salt or tare sauce, allowing the natural flavour and the charcoal aroma to shine. This is popular as a standalone dish or to share.
Unagi Egg Roll (Umaki): A highly popular side dish or appetiser. This features savoury Japanese rolled omelette (tamagoyaki) with tender pieces of grilled unagi wrapped inside. It’s a delightful blend of textures and flavours.
Kimoyaki / Deep Fried Liver / Crispy Bone (Eel Delicacies): These more adventurous items are popular among true unagi enthusiasts looking to experience different parts of the eel.

UYA REVIEWS
Uya truly delivers on its promise of authentic unagi. I ordered the Hitsumabushi (Large), and it was absolutely phenomenal. The eel was perfectly grilled – crispy on the outside, tender and fatty on the inside, with that lovely charcoal aroma. The three ways of eating it made the meal so interactive and enjoyable; I especially loved the ochazuke style with the dashi broth. The rice was spot on too. It’s pricey, but for the quality and the experience, it’s absolutely worth every cent.
“Derrik “
Came to Uya specifically for the unagi, and it exceeded expectations. My wife had the Unaju, and the unagi was incredibly fresh and flavorful, with just the right amount of their delicious sauce. But the real surprise for me was the Unagi Egg Roll (Umaki) appetizer. The tamagoyaki was so soft and fluffy, and the pieces of eel inside were a fantastic addition – a perfect savory bite to start the meal. We also tried the Crispy Bone, which was surprisingly addictive. Fantastic quality across the board and great service.
“Don”
As someone who’s had unagi in Japan, I can confidently say Uya comes very close to the authentic experience. The unagi here, whether in the Hitsumabushi or the Shirayaki, is always cooked to perfection – never muddy, always fresh, with that beautiful slight char. I appreciate that they offer both the glazed (kabayaki) and plain (shirayaki) options, allowing you to truly taste the quality of the eel itself. The dashi broth for the Hitsumabushi is also wonderfully rich. It’s a consistently excellent dining experience for true unagi lovers.

They also offer the Ippon Hitsumabushi set with a whole eel.
