About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
  • Great for happy hour
Bringing its hallmark level of quality and service to an urban location, Uchi Houston made its debut in 2012 in the former historic Felix space on Westheimer. Melding culinary innovation with an approachable vibe, the menu features items culled from both Uchi and Uchiko in Austin, along with signature seasonal items created by our Chef team. Reservations are encouraged and can be booked online up to 1 month in advance. Walk-in bar seating is available and is subject to wait times. We look forward to serving you, Kanpai!

    Great food as always. Creative chefs keep the daily options interesting and fan favorites keep the regulars returning. No one does a better menu. However, the service was subpar. Staff seem more relaxed and less trained for higher end dining when compared to other restaurants at this price point. Two years ago it was a different, more worth it vibe as the staff made the experience. It becomes obvious when a restaurant group focuses on expanding rather than enhancing what they have. Still will probably return for the full bar that’s opening soon.

    Uchi HoustonResponded on May 24, 2025
    Hello Yang, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're truly delighted to hear that you found our omakase both impressive and exquisite. Providing thoughtful and attentive service is something we take great pride in, so it’s especially rewarding to know it made a difference in your experience. If you’re a fan of omakases that feature more dry-aged selections, we’d love to invite you to join us in our special omakase room called Oheya, where we highlight those unique flavors. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we can’t wait to welcome you back for another memorable meal soon! Warmly, Jarelyn Dunmars Uchi Houston Manager
