This place is great and would deifnitely recommend to anyone visiting Austin. First off the service was great, the waitress we had was very attentive and explained everything in detail. The food was delicious, had some ceviche, sashimi, sushi rolls, and some other hot dishes (pork cheeks and wagyu beef). Everything is served in small portion sizes that are great... more

After living in Austin for over three years, we finally made it to Uchi. It took so long for us to go because I was skeptical and feared that it would not live up to the hype, but we absolutely loved it. It was the best sushi I have ever eaten (and I have eaten sushi on both coasts and... more

I could go on and on about how much I love this restaurant but I am at work and can't spend all my company's time writing reviews. The fish is the freshest I have tasted (and I am in the seafood business) and the service is always special. I usually travel alone and sit at the sushi counter. You can... more

The dinner here was amazing. After having a bad day at the water park to the south, my friend and I ate dinner at Uchi. The food was very different, almost like a tapas style sushi. But everything was delicious. I would like to convince the chef to move to Florida, so I can eat food this delicious more often. more

Uchi is absolutely my favorate restaurant in Austin, TX. Great ambience and incredible food. If you are visiting Austin and enjoy sushi, you absolutely must make your way to this restaurant for a meal. Yes, it is expensive, and yes, you'll probably have to wait an hour for your table, but it will likely be one of the best Sushi... more

Sushi is my favorite food and I've eaten at several restuarants throughout Houston, Dallas and Austin. I've also had Sushi at several locations in L.A. and Philly and this beats all them. In my opinion, this is best Sushi restaurant in Texas. Added bonus...the ambience of the restuarant is top notch...very romantic place. Downside...this restaurant is extremely popular so be... more

not in Austin... at Uchi! I have never had such a wonderful meal. I highly recommend ordering the Chef's tasting -- you'll be guaranteed to have the most creative tasty dishes. I took my husband there for his birthday and we enjoyed every moment. Our server Kimberly also suggested drink pairings with our meal and we're so glad we went... more

To find one of the best sushi restaraunts in the world in Austin, Texas is a big surprise, I know. But Uchi really is exceptional - Tyson Cole is the king. The bill here is easily $100 a head but worth every penny. I only go once a year but its worth it. more

The dinner at Uchi was just outstanding. We sampled many different types of sushi and both the cold and hot small dishes, plus dessert, and all of the items were solid, well done and had very interesting flavor combinations. This was probably the best meal I have had in Austin the last five years. The wait staff was amicable, helpful... more
