One of my favorite restaurants in Austin! Lived here for years and whenever I come back it is top of my list. Their vegetable nigiri is so unique and delicious- as a fish lover, veggie sushi doesn’t usually move the needle for me, but the corn and shishito nigiri here are a must. The food is simple, fresh, and so delicious. And the cocktails are so refreshing and tasty!

Another exquisite visit to Uchi. The service was fabulous from the moment we walked in. We let our server Jessica give us some guidance on our menu for the evening, and her recommendations did not disappoint. The sake tom kha was delicious, with a flavor packed tom kha reduction. We also had an ocean trout nigiri on special that was so delicious, we ordered seconds. We’ll be back!
