Uchiko is the sister restaurant to Tyson Cole’s original Uchi. It matches that restaurant’s dedication to food, wine, and service, but it has a Japanese farmhouse aesthetic with crafted materials and warm finishes to round out a completely updated setting. The chef team at Uchiko has created a brand new selection of composed dishes and sushi, taken from ideas and plates created at Uchi. Uchiko is Uchi redefined. Reservations are encouraged and can be booked online up to 1 month in advance for parties of up to 12 guests. Walk-in bar seating is available and is subject to wait times. Patio seating is weather permitting and may be rescheduled in the event of inclement weather. We look forward to serving you, Kanpai!

First time at Uchiko as I just moved to Austin from NYC and live in walking distance from Uchi...so that has been my go to spot but friends keep saying I should try Uchiko. So I booked a day in advance ( LUCKY ) for the 4:15 seat at the counter and loved the experience and food. Menu is a bit different from downtown but I trusted Johnny the sushi chef serving me to make some wonderful recommendations and he did! The counter is a great way to really connect with the chef's preparing the food. I loved the experience and I highly recommend sitting at the counter for that experience. Looking forward to my next visit!

As always, the food at Uchiko was amazing. I think our server may have been newish, the level of service was not what we are used to at Uchiko but we understand that things in the service industry are still in flux from the pandemic. Overall, we would continue to visit Uchiko for our special occasions.

I come to Uchiko frequently and always love the experience. But it does seem like they are starting to lose some of the small touches that make it a great dining choice. Yesterday they served us wooden chopsticks like you would find at a Panda Express. I understand that inflation has taken a toll on everyone but little things like this can really tarnish a reputation of a restaurant. I hope this was just a supply chain issue and they bring back the fancier chopsticks. Food was great as usual Service was good

Was here for happy hour. Menu selection, service and prices are great. They don’t seat tables until the full party arrives, but no problem because they are happy to get a drink and snack started if you have to wait on your irresponsibly late friends. My only complaint was that the last 2 dishes seemed to take an exceptionally long time, but since our bellies were approaching full, it wasn’t a deal breaker. Already planning the next happy hour here.

Food was great as usual. Service was not that bad. Very nice person, but probably needed some better background on food/wine pairings. Very consistent with respect to quality. Expensive, but worth it.

We have eaten here many times, usually to celebrate a birthday, always enjoying the experience. However, the service this time was terrible! We had to ask for dishes we ordered 3 different times! I have never had to do that even at an hamburger stand, but this place was terrible. The food has gone downhill as well. Not very flavorful and not very fresh which is a problem when you are serving raw fish! I will never go back. The server took on an attitude toward the end after we requested at least 3 of our missing items 3 different times. It took 2 1/2 hours to even get all of our food. Terrible experience and it was my son's bday to boot.

Went for my birthday with two friends. Start to finish Uchiko delivered. The drinks were awesome and the food, every dish, was exceptional. Each seemingly better than the last. Our server Aaron did a phenomenal job, he was attentive, knew the menu front to back and when he found out it was my birthday had a special dish made. I can’t think of anything that could have made the night better. Everyone should do themselves a favor and go to Uchiko as soon as possible and as often as they can, they will not regret it.
