Uchi

We got a reservation to celebrate our anniversary, and our server Virginia made sure it was a memorable experience! The Chef's Tasting is a must for those looking to have an adventure without stressing what to order, and the variability of what was included across presentation, ingredients, abd textures will keep you engaged for the entire meal. We spent around two hours at Uchi between 13 courses (three were desserts) and a bottle of sparkling wine. Plan for about the same amount of time so you can enjoy the experience fully. Thank you again to Virginia and the entire Uchi staff and chefs! Highly recommend.

We got the set menu which came in at $175 per person. Steep price but reasonable considering the culinary journey and quality of ingredients. Definitely comes recommended.

Only complaint is that customers are given cheap, single-use Chinese chopsticks. There’s a clear difference between Japanese style and Chinese style chopsticks, and why one kind is used for sashimi and the like. For a high end restaurant that showed so much attention to details in the dishes, I’d expect the same when it came to the table setting.

This restaurant is very pricey but the quality of food really reflects that. They have impeccable dishes with a broad range of flavours - which will make you not want to go to any other Japanese restaurant other than Uchi. Order anything you want on the menu - you can't go wrong! Service is fast and waiters are friendly and attentive. Very busy place so you have to book like a week in advance!

Excellent food. Beautiful restaurant. Lovely atmosphere. Good service. Truly wonderful sushi that is exquisitely prepared, well presented, and very tasty. Be very very careful. If you allow the waiter to provide a “customized” experience for you, be prepared for costs close to $300 per person. Even though this should be made clear in advance, we did have a good experience.

This is one my favorite restaurants. My wife and I have celebrated our anniversary at Uchi for several years now. Ten years ago we first tried Uchi at their bustling Austin location. The dining experience never disappoints! Every dish has a unique and intriguing symphony of flavors. The fish is always fresh and expertly chosen. Our favorite is still the Machi Cure, pictured here.

Wow! It was an amazing experience. Now I like to say I love sushi but I had no idea what I was in for. I'm a basic rolls gal and was ready to just enjoy the rolls they had to offer. My server saved the day and said would you like me to pick some items for you. I said yes! We discussed what proteins I did and didn't like and if I had any allergies. Then I gave him all the power for my meal. Best decision ever. It was delicious, everything that was delivered to my table. There was only one item I really didn't like but they asked me about. It was a newer item they were working on. Let me just say, letting someone else just choose your meal for you was so freeing. It was a night I soon won't forget. I honestly can't give you names of the dishes. They told me I ate then then the next one came out and I had forgotten the name already. I know the crudos were delicious. Every single one they brought out. The Matstake Bass was amazing. Perfect last course of the dinner. Try the Jasmine cream for an interesting and surprising dessert and the fried milk to give you that chocolate craving most people love for a ending to a good night.

I took terrible photos of some things but do yourself a favor and treat yourself. It's not a cheap night out but it's an experience worth every penny.

My only complaint is that they have ruined my expectation of good sushi and I will not be able to go to another restaurant ever in life. This was the freshest most delicious food I have ever had at a restaurant. Worth every dime! Great vibes and music. Delicious sake. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable! Best dining experience by far. Wonderful experience! Will be back!

Bonus: They have vegetarian and vegan options. Pictured below that is not fish that is a tomato 🤯

Great place and we’ve gone here for years. Great place for any special occasion or even date night. Well worth trying the Omakase Chef Tasting. It will allow you to try things especially when you can’t decide. Brussels sprouts are my favorite, try them to start off.

The food was extraordinarily fantastic but the service was not great at all.

We waited for a long time every time we needed our waiter. He was always no where to be found. In fact, we don’t know why he insisted on serving us because the other waiter was serving the surrounding tables whereas he’s always elsewhere. We waited for a long time to get soy sauce. We waited yet another long time to get a spoon in the end we gave up and shared a spoon. We waited for a long time to get the hot tea refilled. We waited for a long time to order extra food. We tried to ask for help from another waiter but he chose to ignore us. We really didn’t expect this kind of service from a place like Uchi.

the food here was great. the only issue my partner and i ran into was with our service. we got there right on time for our reservation and the hosts seemed like they were not happy to be there at all, the woman who brought us to our table did not even smile once. then our server (who did not even tell us his name) was very inattentive and often times we had to wait a very long period for him to check our table when we wanted to order something. i would watch him stand at the back of the restaurant or check on all of his tables around us seemingly forgetting us. throughout our evening we felt like we were his last priority. once we had been there for around an hour he began pushing us to finish our meal, i understand it’s a busy place but the website states the restaurant anticipates guests to stay there for around 2-2 and a half hours so i was unsure why he was pushing us to leave. he kept asking if he could take our chopsticks and clear our table when we had only been waiting for him to come back so we could order a few more things of the menu. he did not say a single word to us unrelated to what we were ordering or “are you guys still okay?” the entire night. once again, i understand it is a very busy place but as i heard the other servers around us be friendly with their guests i felt as though once again we were being forgotten. we came to uchi for our second anniversary because we wanted amazing food (which we did get) but we also wanted to have a special, romantic night. we both felt as though the server could not wait to get us out the door, and did not even acknowledge our special day with a congratulations… i expect that if i’m spending hundreds of
dollars on a meal the server would at least be kind and welcoming to me.
