    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!

    Overall, as usual, another fantastic addition to the Uchi family of restaurants. Outstanding. The food, the service, the menu - impeccable. The one thing that I found surprising was (IMO) the lack luster of the ambiance. I have always loved the aesthetics of his restaurants - this one fell flat to me. Our server, Anthony, was fabulous! I’m partial to Uchi and Uchiko.

    We had a delightful experience at your establishment. Our server, Joshua, was exceptionally welcoming and knowledgeable. He patiently answered all of my husband's questions, ensuring that we were well-informed about the menu options. As a sushi enthusiast, I was particularly impressed with the variety and quality of the sushi offerings. However, it is important to note that the parking situation was quite challenging and may deter us from returning in the future.
