“ Great, high quality food. Good ambiance that makes for a great date night or a fun night out with friends. The staff is attentive and food does not take long to arrive. Definitely make a reservation ahead of time as spots fill up quickly. Overall, a great experience! ”

“ Uchi is hands down my favorite sushi spot in Austin. While its sister concepts, Uchiko and Uchiba, come close, nothing quite compares to the original. I dined here on New Year's Eve to celebrate the start of 2025, and as always, it was an excellent choice. The service is consistently attentive, which makes the splurge feel worth it, as this place is definitely on the pricier side. For hot tastings, you can't go wrong with the A5 hot rock which is an interactive dish where you sear melt-in-your-mouth wagyu over a sizzling hot rock. If you're more into cool tastings, the spicy crunchy tuna was my personal favorite, offering a perfect mix of flavor and texture. I'd also recommend trying any of their nigiri selections, which rotate regularly for a fresh experience. I highly suggest making a reservation, as Uchi is typically busy almost every night of the week. They do offer valet parking, but it might be easier to Uber. Also, don't miss out on their daily happy hour as it's a great way to save a few bucks while sampling some amazing dishes that are only available during that time. ”

“ Initially, I had come early on a weekday evening and hoped to be seated early (the reservation was for 9 pm). I didn't get to my table, my reservation was originally booked for the sushi bar, until closer to 9:15. The host made sure I was kept up to date on status of my table and decided to sit me in the regular dining since they didn't want me to wait any longer. Once I was seated, Alexis took really great care of me - explaining the menu, sharing her recommendations, and ensuring that everything was up to my expectations. The eel and ocean trout nigiri along with the hama chili dish were my favorites for the night. I perfectly ended the night with the gyutoro - completely melted in your mouth, drooling at the thought of that bite! I ordered about 12 bites total and everything was delicious! I had a lovely time at Uchi and was happy I came during my visit to Austin. ”

“ Stopped by here with 2 friends on June 28, 2022. I had never been before, but everyone in Austin has recommended this place. I really like sushi and I must say, this place lives up to the hype. The dishes are small and shareable, but the flavors and textures are unique and exciting. They even have vegetarian options, which is really nice. This is a great date spot, or a place to go for a special occasion. The staff also is really good at recommending what to try based on your diet and preference. ”

“ Uchi was such an awesome experience. Me & my boyfriend went there to celebrate my birthday and boy, we loved it. We got the tasting menu curated by our server / chef & they were kind enough to incorporate a ton of vegetarian options for my bf who doesn't eat fish or meat. We both really loved all the items that were served to us, the depth in flavor was awesome. I'd definitely recommend trying the tasting menu. It costed about $140 which was enough for 2 people. The place was packed on the Friday night and the ambiance is very date like, dimly lit. I loved it. ”

“ Uchi means house in Japanese, and this house in Austin offers non‑traditional Japanese cuisine such as short rib nigiri :) I am not a big fan of Japanese fusion, but Uchi is an exception. It is a great Omakase experience. Every dish is presented beautifully. Service was great and friendly. It is a popular spot and an ideal space to gather for any occasion such as corporate events, birthdays, and other special gatherings. ”

“ What a dream! Definitely make reservations, as that helped us get seated right away. Although they have a cute little side bar where you can order drinks and look at the stunning dishes as they come out. We sat at the sushi bar and it was a fun experience. To see all the innovative preparations happening in real time felt like I was in a Food Network special! Our sushi chef was kind and knowledgeable, and offered some great suggestions after he knew what we liked. The layers of flavors and presentation were unmatched. You can't go wrong with anything you get here. Pro tip- ask them what their favorite is and they'll knock it out of the park! ”

“ Not much to say here. It's a top spot. A destination. If you're suggesting a place to go for sushi this is one of those places that makes suggestion list. A bonus is the great DAILY happy hour menu from 4-6 p.m. ”

“ Got to love a good omakase! Uchi is an upscale sushi spot with premium service and fish! I came with 3 friends on a Saturday evening. Highly recommend making a reservation in advanced. There's a lot with 3 spots as well as complementary valet. We didn't know what to order so opted for the omakase. It was $320 for 10 dishes for two. Very pricey, but I was impressed with the variety of dishes. Several different kinds of fish, lobster, and duck were feature. For dessert, we had a honey toast with ice cream. At the end I was satiated, but could also have a slice of pizza. Overall - recommend uchi for happy hour or a nice night to treat yourself! ”
