Reviews Summary
Unagi Inu Riga is praised for its delicious and diverse Japanese cuisine, with many guests highlighting flavorful dishes like takoyaki and ramen. The trendy, youthful atmosphere and friendly service contribute to a positive dining experience.

"Very nice unique place with lots of food to choose from and share, fast service and youthful atmosphere. There is a corner for kids to play in which is nice for family dining. Would recomend to book a table for dinner, we still got in at 17:00 on Saturday with lots of space, but while we were eating every other table was set for reservation."

"Enjoyed a delicious meal at Unagi Inu. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of food. The food was flavourful and I liked the fact that the portions were not too large which meant that I could order and try many small plates. I would return if in Riga again."
Emily Ambler
"Service was friendly and the food was pretty good. I had the seafood chirashi, everything was fresh, though the rice was a little on the dry side. The pickles that came with it were a nice bonus. One of us tried the kimchi beer, which was interesting in a good way. We actually liked it here so much that we came back again when we were looking for something tasty and low-key."
