New York Midtown Lunch with a Uni Feast! 😍

📍 Anto Korean Steak House

If you’re craving uni, head here for an affordable lunch set. I went with four friends, and we got a range of dishes:

1. Kimchi Fish Roe Rice + Uni

2. Uni Rice (off-menu)

3. Seaweed Beef Tartare Roll + Uni

4. Pork Belly Set

The uni portions were generous, and the flavor was super fresh and sweet, unlike the sometimes fishy California uni. The kimchi rice with fish roe had a strong flavor and nice texture from the roe, while the seaweed beef roll with avocado and egg dip was a standout.

Without uni, the lunch is about $30+ per person, but with uni, it’s more like $50+—definitely worth it for the quality and portion size.

Good spot for a solid, delicious lunch.
