Uchi

This was my friend and I’s first time at the Houston Uchi. It was amazing as are the other Uchis. This is the only place I’ve found that delivers such a variety of flavors, textures, smells, and visuals. You can never go wrong with Uchi. The food is always fantastic. It’s a great place if 1) you love sushi 2) you love to try new things.

Some “pro” tips:

Get an early reservation so you can take advantage of happy hour from 4-6.

Do the unlimited omakase. Basically you have them bring courses(1-3 or so, bites per course) until you are full and tell them to stop. If you do this though, make sure to give them your budget if you have one because it can get quite pricey.

I commend this Uchi specifically because the service was the best we’ve had, even as the restaurant started to fill up.

Uchi is a hidden gem. It serves innovative freshly made sushi & fusion plates at this upscale Japanese hot spot.

From the hostess to the server to the chef, everyone is super friendly and makes you feel super welcome!

Although it's a upscale restaurant, the best time to come is during its "Happy Hours", lots of great deals on drinks cocktails, snack bites. I ordered the Wagyu beef skewers and Blue Fin Tuna sushi and each item was less than $15 USD, which is pretty decent. Luv the ambience. A perfect place on a date night!

Will definitely come back again & again & again & again!!!!

One of the best restaurant experiences of my life!! Sushi bar was great fun to watch, lychee cocktail was tasty, sushi was mindblowing, and mushroom rice bowl had awesome texture. Brussel sprouts and cauliflower tempura were especially good, and the fried milk is one of the coolest and tastiest desserts I've ever had. Certainly on the expensive side, around 90 for 2 but we left very satisfied.

Awesome Japanese food experience! From start to finish they staff did a great job at accomodating and getting food out. The happy hour menu is very reasonable and you get to try a ton of things out for yourself. Would definitely recommend the kanpachi crudo - the fish is phenomenal, and it is a really fresh sashimi dish.

Other things I'd recommend are the fried milk and grilled shrimp skewers. Fried milk is done so well - the chocolate tuille on top is absolutely delicious! Would highly recommend for anyone interested in splurging a bit for a meal

The culinary experience in this place is so worth every penny. Please let the chef pick for you. You will not be disappointed. Everything about this place was spectacular. The desserts were delicious. I’m so glad to know they have a location in Miami. I fully plan to visit there soon.

Food is always good and fresh, but If you’re looking for a hearty meal this is NOT the place to go! Lol. Portion sizes are small, and plates are pretty expensive. Go for happy hour, better bang for your buck!

This restaurant is OUTSTANDING! the whole experience was amazing, we were celebrating our anniversary and they made us feel sooooo special, we even got their cookbook as a gift and the staff signed it :) the waitress was marvelous (sadly I don’t remember her name) but since it was our first time we asked for recommendations and everything she recommended was delicious! I cannot recommend this restaurant enough, if you are a sushi lover like me look no further, BEST SUSHI EVER! Thank you Uchi Houston for making my 10 year anniversary dinner amazing <3

My girlfriend and I had the most incredible meal at Uchi. We didn’t even look at the menu. We asked for chef recommendations for everything from the bar table and it was all perfect. Thank you so much Koi!

Fantastic food at a reasonable price. All the 6 courses we had were unique and inspired. The flavors were all interesting and fresh. Will definitely be back!

Really AMAZING restaurant!
It is a fancy one, and the prices are high, but the "journey" is worth it!
Very delicious food, great service, great drinks, really everything you would wish in a great restaurant experience!
