A lunch set includes almost everything that you may try for Unagi. A half Unagi is served on the rice. Side dishes are eel soup, Japanese pickles, a jar of soup for rice.
Unagi is not the best. It is a little bit soft and cold, texture not firm, not very tasty, however acceptable.
In fact, their lunch special is bargain and there will be a line of people queuing up. Price for the normal menu will be more than double of the lunch specials.
