Restaurants near Rice University

Had dinner here with my wife and friends. This is an outstanding restaurant. The service was exceptional, the food was very well prepared and the drink/spirits options were plentiful. The ambiance could be a bit more ‘intimate,’ but the noise levels were acceptable and distance between seating areas was reasonable. I felt the pricing was just very slightly high, but, overall a very good experience which I would recommend.

Yet again, consistently outstanding service, delicious food and a great ambiance. Our waiter Alfredo Diaz was awesome! The fantastic food and great service is what keeps our family returning. Keep up the great customer service. A rare dining experience in today’s restaurant environment. Thank you

We came here for Valentine’s Day and it was amazing. Great lighting for a romantic evening. Our server was Jennifer. She was attentive patient with explaining the menu and introduced us to the manager and owner Ali and Ali. We had a five course dinner. And we had wine pairing for each of the courses. Wife was excited, surprised and loved everything. I highly recommend for a celebration or a perfect night out with your loved one.

Uchi is our special occasion dinner or date night. We love the variety of options (plenty of vegetarian options) and service is always top notch. I like to come during happy hour so that I can order from both happy hour and dinner menu. Linda is my favorite server! She makes really great recommendations and we always have the best dining experience with Linda. Will see you again soon!

We had four different dishes (two steaks and two types of fish. ALL were delicious. I really don’t think you could find anything that wasn’t outstanding. The one thing I would change is the noise level. They might refer to it as energetic, I thought it was a little too loud. Made it necessary to speak louder and it seemed like a competition. No a huge problem but not a quiet romantic dinner. A matter of taste. Great experience.
