Wow. This was by far our best sushi & sashimi experience. Up until now, Nobu was our go to when traveling and wanting sushi. The service was amazing and our waiter was so communicative. The presentation and guidance with the Okamasu tasting was memorable and we can’t wait to come back and visit Austin again, so we can eat here.

I've been to Uchi a hand full of times over the past 10 years plus and every time delivers an absolute 10/10 experience. The flavor combinations, textures, freshness, service, ambiance, everything is always top notch and incredibly impressive. Easily my favorite Japanese restaurant in the country.

I’ve been Uchi and UchiKo a number of times, this time decided to go alone. Waiter modified Omakase (usually for 2 people) for me!Suggestions were on point! For anyone wondering price: I had 2 cocktails, Omakase, and dessert for less than $200 without tip. Delicious!

Used to love this restaurant - really only worth its price if you go at happy hour (4-6pm). Paid $600+ for 3 people, be prepared to overspend. Don’t get me wrong food was great, service was amazing. To someone who loves sushi (and high end sushi) - you can get away with VERY similar at a sushi place like neighborhood and other local restaurant for somewhere in the $250 range.

Absolutely incredible. My husband and I dined at Uchi for our wedding anniversary and it was amazing from start to finish. We did the 6 course tasting and every dish blew us away. Our server, Jenny, was attentive and so kind. She gifted us the wagyu carpaccio and my mouth is still watering over it. I cannot wait to dine in again!

We really enjoyed the bar service while we waited on our seat. Bartender was very nice and knowledgeable. We’ve been to Uchiko but this was our first time at Uchi. We decided to let the server choose a few small bites and plates for us to try. He put together 5-6 items for us to try and checked in regularly to ensure we were enjoying his selections. He was very knowledgeable and provided a great experience.

Uchi is no doubt an outstanding and high quality food. It is high-end, high quality product. This is not your daily sushi venue. The service is great, however, I would argue there are too many staff. Weird I know, but several staff were standing around and bunching up at times causing a distraction. And don't get me wrong, the place was full. The space itself is fine, but not special. The patio area is very nice, but next to South Lamar, so a little loud and you are hearing cars, but it is not too big of a deal.

After hearing so much about Uchi me and my friend were highly disappointed. After paying almost $400 including tip for 2 people, all of our nigiri came out warm and mushy. We got a $25 gift card as a way of reimbursement, but I feel like it has made me sick to my stomach for 2 days now. Will not be going back.

Uchi is bar none the best sushi rest in Austin. In our home we have a before Uchi and after Uchi (BU / AU). We love bringing family and friends for their first time and watching their expressions on their first bite. The ambiance and the impeccable way that it is run is like watching actors in a play. They have ruined us to all other sushi. Their happy hours are great! We go to Uchi or uchiko as often as we can and can’t wait for Uchiba to open. The deserts are ridiculously good and the linkup nave w short rib is like a warm hug!!! If you haven’t tried it you must!

The experience was great! I was a little disappointed when our waiter didn’t offer recommendations to us or seem interested in making sure we had a special experience like the last time when I sat at the sushi bar. I understand having a sushi chef is different but I would’ve liked him to maybe even just guide us in the right direction seeing as we really didn’t know where to start with such a great extensive menu. The noise level of the restaurant was a little loud but I know that just comes with having a busy business! Otherwise our experience was lovely and the food was absolutely amazing (per usual) just wish I could’ve tried new things I didn’t know about for the money I spent.

We eat a lot of sushi around the world, and this is some of the best that we have ever had. Wonderful service and ambience as well. Make reservations, as they are always packed.
