Uchi was a fantastic place to visit as a tourist. The food and service was excellent and I would say it was good value for the price point (about $100 a head for a a group of 5, including a round of drinks). I would recommend booking as it does get busy.

Our fourth time here–where to begin? Uchi Austin is the most wonderful dining experience my partner and I have ever experienced. Every time. Valet parking makes arriving in your personal vehicle a breeze. A welcoming, modern, upscale–yet not intimidating–atmosphere stands out immediately when you walk through the front door. The staff are the piece of this establishment that shine throughout the entire experience. From the host stand to the wait staff, sushi chefs, and everyone else are kind, caring, thoughtful and exceptionally good at their jobs. We tend to prefer the sushi bar–however, we sat outside on the patio this time. Omar waited on us, and he is incredible. From start to finish, he was fun to chat with, fantastic with his timing, and all around one of the best servers we’ve had the pleasure of dining with in Austin. If you’re looking for the full experience, we recommend the chef’s tasting. There isn’t a dish on the menu that misses–everything is to die for. We’ve done the tasting every time, and we always find new and creative dishes that keep us coming back. This time, Omar asked what we enjoy the most before we started; toward the end of the meal, he provided two dishes that hit every mark we mentioned at the beginning and went above and beyond–uni on one side and butter poached snow crab topped with caviar. Absolutely amazing. If you’re looking for a unique dining experience with a one-of-a-kind staff and a menu that will never disappoint, I highly recommend visiting Uchi.

I had such a great experience dining here. Our server was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. They were knowledgeable about the menu, quick with refills, and checked in at just the right times. You can tell they genuinely care about providing excellent service. It really made the whole meal even better. Highly recommend!

Wow what an experience! I recommend getting the omakase, its 10 courses and staff is accomidating! Highlighting a few, but so many textures and flavors going into each bite! If you have never been, please check it out! Staff was amazing, cannot recommend enough!

Took the girlfriend out for her birthday dinner and had a blast. All of the food was delicious and washed down with some great sake. Our server Matt was awesome and even gave us some free sushi and a taste of some new sake for the birthday dinner.

Dinner, reserved just few hours before going. As it was a day before thanks giving, probably it was available. We arrived early and host was able to find a seat ahead of reservation time, with some wait. Service was great, good was really good, itsa bir noisly and company seating, but we loved it

By far the best dining experience, we’ve had in a very long time. Wild place was packed, the service is still on point and the menu was quite an adventure. Definitely great value for money for what it is the freshest seafood we have had and some great options of seafood street from a famous Japanese food market. If we lived in Austin, this would definitely be a favorite date, night spot, or a place to celebrate with friends.

Holiday dinner with my daughter. She loves Uchi. I’m also a fan. Service was solid. Ambiance was great. Food was amazing. We arrived during happy hour. The selection of drinks and food was generous and very tasty. We chose some main menu items too like the hot rock wagyu. Overall another stellar experience at Uchi. Very consistent as always. Thanks Uchi!

Uchi absolutely lives up to its reputation. The food quality and creativity are outstanding — every dish feels thoughtfully crafted with fresh ingredients and bold, well-balanced flavors. The sushi and Japanese-inspired plates are both innovative and beautifully executed. The atmosphere is upscale yet comfortable, and the service complements the experience perfectly. It’s easy to see why Uchi is considered one of Austin’s top restaurants. A must-visit for anyone who appreciates creative, high-quality food.

This food was great, our favorites were the cold plates full of amazing textures and flavors. Desert is not to be skipped here so leave some room. I love trying new places when I come to Austin and this is not too be missed and also the sister restaurant up the road which fusses bbq and Asian is unreal I visit there last year.

Had an incredible first experience at Uchi for happy hour! Grabbed a reservation on the patio. Zoe was phenomenal, she guided me through the menu with expert recommendations and made the meal seamless. The standout of the night was the Tom Ka Salmon (I got a 2nd for dessert), but the absolute 'best single bite' award goes to the 72-hour Wagyu. If you're looking for amazing sushi and top-tier service, this is it. Can’t wait to come back!

My wife and I had an absolutely phenomenal experience at Uchi Austin. From start to finish, this was hands down our favorite omakase experience outside of Japan. My wife opted for the vegetarian omakase, and we were both blown away by the creativity and execution. Vegetarian tasting menus can sometimes feel like an afterthought, but not here. Every course was thoughtful, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. She confidently called it the best vegetarian set menu she has ever had. I went with the Somakase and added a couple supplemental dishes, including the A5 Wagyu Hot Stone. In total I had about 15 dishes, and every single one delivered. The fish quality was phenomenal, incredibly fresh with precise, clean flavors that you would expect from top-tier sushi counters. And the Wagyu was outstanding, especially impressive given we are in the middle of Texas. The beverage program also deserves serious credit. My wife had a couple martinis that she loved, and I enjoyed three different glasses of wine. The selections were excellent and paired beautifully with the progression of dishes. Service was truly next level. The team operates like a well-honed machine: polished, attentive, and perfectly paced without ever feeling rushed. You can tell there is real pride in the craft here. Even the logistics were smooth. Making the reservation through Resy was quick and painless, which set the tone for the evening. Overall, an exceptional dining experience that we will absolutely be thinking about for a long time. If you are considering omakase in Austin, this place is a must.

It’s hard to believe anyone has negative things to say about this place. From the moment you walk into Uchi, you’re warmly greeted by the hosts and immediately taken in by the beautiful atmosphere. The ambiance is perfect for any occasion, and if you’re looking for phenomenal sushi paired with impeccable service, buckle up. David, our server (an OG with over six years at Uchi), took incredible care of my friend and I. His recommendations and overall demeanor were spot on, he truly made the experience feel special! We were spoiled in the best way. Lots of the staff here are attentive, eclectic and super rad. They always make me feel like a regular (and I’m far from) when I come in. Uchi consistently outdoes itself with the quality of its ingredients too. I mean, come on they’re flying in Tasmanian trout from Australia… and we’re in Texas!? That level of commitment says everything. Some of these dishes brought tears to my eyes. Thank again yall for outdoing it time after time.

This place is cool. Almost too cool. You walk in and for a moment wonder if you belong. But then the staff is beyond friendly. Everyone is so warm and welcoming and attentive. The food is incredible. Every bite unique and thoughtful. Excellent wine menu, ask the server about them…ours knew the flavor profiles off the top of her head. We felt so well taken care of and perfectly satisfied. Can’t wait to go back and try everything else. Parking is tough!

I celebrated my birthday at Uchi Austin and had an amazing experience. Every sashimi we tried was outstanding, especially the gyutoro, zuwai gani, and the hama chili with orange ponzu. The Zero Sen roll was another highlight. Our server recommended a sake that paired perfectly with everything, and the coconut tapioca dessert was a unique and beautifully balanced finish. Great service, great atmosphere, and exceptional food. I’ll definitely be back.

Most amazing restaurant ever. We've been coming for years. Started when Tyson Cole came in frequently and Paul Qui was here. We would drive from Clear Lake City just to eat here. Then an Uchi was opened in Houston so went there but would still always come to the original when in town. Having moved from Houston, it had been 1.5 years since having Uchi. So glad to go again. We enjoyed numerous tastings and some full orders. I didn't bother with pics just savored each bite. The service is outstanding. Our server was David and he was very attentive and did an excellent job of meeting our every need. Our sushi bar server was Jeremy and he was also so helpful and attentive. We sat a the bar for a very short time and the female bartender was kind and allowed us a taste of sake. This entire experience felt so personalized. They know how to make each guest feel like most important person there.

Nadia Rodriguez Amante

We chose the omakase-style tasting menu and a few à la carte, and every single dish was truly delicious—there wasn’t one course we didn’t enjoy. The quality of the food was exceptional and clearly reflects a high level of culinary skill. The only critique I would offer is the pacing of the experience. At times, the courses felt rushed. On a few occasions, additional dishes were plated before we had finished the previous course, or food arrived and sat briefly, affecting the intended temperature. Where we were sitting in the middle of the dining room, the servers would rush by adding to the “rush” feel. I think everyone needs to slow down à but and just enjoy. Given the level of craftsmanship involved, a slower, more intentional pace would allow each dish to be appreciated fully. The servers were attentive and professional, though it was evident they were very busy. Menu descriptions were delivered quite quickly, which added to the overall feeling of being rushed. Slowing down slightly—both in service and explanation—would elevate the experience even further. Overall, the food itself was outstanding, and with a more relaxed, deliberate flow, this restaurant could offer an even more memorable and immersive dining experience.

The new updated omakase is definitely not very good/ as good as the last one. Worth ordering rolls/ dishes you like instead. We had Justice as our server and he was so great and friendly! Really enjoyed being in his section.

This was a very cute restaurant overall with great food. The food was so fresh and the fish were so tender. The only thing that we weren’t a fan of was that every nigiri piece you order comes with some type of topping which some were wonderfully paired while others missed the mark. Every type of salmon they had was hands down the best salmon we’ve ever had. Drinks were great as well. We were sat in the aisle in a high top area which was fine- although it was extremely dark so impossible to read anything. Overall, a great restaurant with great food and good prices for what you get!

We were settling into conversing with our waitperson regarding likes/dislikes when a party with two small children were seated right next to us. I have nothing against children, but when I am spending $$$ for a meal, the last thing I want is to feel like I am at a McDonalds. I would also think that if you are spending $$$ for a meal, you could afford to hire a sitter for the evening We ended up switching tables and had a different server so we started over with likes/dislikes. We had the chef's tasting menu. The service was attentive, but the restaraunt seemed dated and the food was uninspired. We have dined at Uchiko (the offshoot of Uchi) so we were a bit disappointed with the meal we were served. We will be going back to Uchiko in the future.
