Uchi West Hollywood

Uchi is pretty decent. The vibe is cool trendy. Service was polite but felt bit rushed and not as personable.
Food-wise, nothing was terrible, but not mind blowing either. A couple of dishes were tasty, a couple were bland, the sushi rice is left to be desired.
Prices felt a bit high for an experience that screams ‘it’s fine. Not in huge rush to be back.

Would recommend.

Only come here if you want to waste your money on mediocre food and subpar service. I don’t mind high-dollar restaurants even when the food isn’t great, so long as the service makes up for it — and it did not. Not all Uchi locations are created equal, and this one misses the mark in a big way.
The food took forever, multiple items had to be requested more than once — including drinks — and there were missed orders and sheer inattentiveness throughout. At one point we wanted to order more food and found ourselves just sitting there, waiting, hoping our waiter would eventually circle back. He didn’t.
The food itself was dressed up as artisan sushi when in reality it was closer to grocery store takeout quality — served on decorative plates with extra ingredients thrown on top to appear visually “fancy.” If you’re looking for quality Japanese cuisine, you won’t find it here.
If you just want the West Hollywood vibe and don’t care about the actual quality of the food or service, then sure, this place is for you. But for everyone else — save your money.
Uchi West Hollywood, take some advice: invest in training your staff, and maybe take a trip to Japan to learn a thing or two about what preparing sushi actually means. Absolutely appalling.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Food is creative but also kinda falls into a certain pattern if you try a couple more dishes.
Cocktails are actually worth trying. Service is great. Friendly responsive staff.
Kinda loud indoor. Hard to talk.

I and my girlfriend spent anniversary at the Ucin as I saw the hype from instagram post. That was our first time at restaurant too. We made a reservation at the sushi bar hoping to see what chef made us, but that was not the case. The sushi bar is setup in the way that you cannot see what chef does. We had Dine-LA, the course was mid. We should just got 9 courses instead omakase during happy hour. Overall, prepare to pay big for average quality sushi.

We went to Uchi to celebrate our anniversary, and it was the best! The food was amazing with a modern twist on some traditional Japanese favourites, and our server was kind enough to gift us some anniversary dishes to try!

*Dine LA experience

My friends and I got together after we finished our book club novel and met for dinner during dine LA. A few of us had Uchi on our list and was excited to try. We all ordered a range of cocktails and NA beverages. Everything was crafted well with a lot of yuzu notes. We all participated in the set menu curated for dine LA. Everyone’s favorites were the Hama Chili, the yellowtail was marinated in a tangy ponzu chili sauce and the mandarin oranges were sweet touch. Pork belly was another favorite and we were full at the end of our courses. We were all a bit underwhelmed by the dessert and most of us didn’t finish it. The white chocolate shell was a bit sweet and hard to eat. The yuzu filling also was polarizing for the table. The service was spectacular and the waiter even gave us a specialty salad hand roll on the house due to a longer wait time than usual. I notice that some servers treat Dine LA patrons differently but at Uchi the staff was attentive and friendly! Would come back especially for their happy hour. Each person’s tab after everything was about ~$95

They started off uber strict — trying to give us less time bc we were 14 mins late to the dinner....wheras guests normally got at least 15 min more than what they were giving us. But it got better. Good food but I've had better. Very fresh fish!! Amazing broccoli

Thank you Loan and the Uchi team for going above and beyond!!

We came in last night to celebrate my birthday, and was initially pulled in for Dine LA Restaurant Week, and everything was so special from start to finish.

I must say it’s truly hard to find a place, especially in Los Angeles, where one can come in for great service, feel welcomed, and honored as a guest.

Sure it was my birthday, and you might say that’s not special because we all have one… however, that didn’t seem to matter. They cared throughout the entire experience. I have a feeling that even if it wasn’t my birthday, the attention to detail would still be the same.

At the host stand upon checked in, they wished me happy birthday, and had a birthday card sitting for me at the table when I sat down!

We put in our order and throughout the meal, we were gifted a couple extra bites from our server and the chefs as an extra birthday treat. They even brought out an extra amazing dessert, which I didn’t know I had any more room for, but still ate it all because it was so delicious.

During the meal we mentioned that we had just recently celebrated our 10 year anniversary and visited Japan last year for it. The tempura broccoli that we had reminded us of a special meal we shared in Nagano Japan, and we made sure to tell our server how happy it made us to eat.

When it came time to leave, they stopped by with one more gift, an Uchi cookbook signed by the entire staff. At first, aside from being completely blown away by this gift, I thought it might be from some stack of books that are pre-signed for people, but no… it was custom signed to celebrate my birthday and our anniversary that we had just mentioned a few minutes before.

Now I don’t know if this is standard or not, or what we did to deserve to feel so incredibly special, but I felt like their attention to detail was top-notch from start to finish.

Even the basic things like clearing a finished plate as soon as it’s done, and not letting water in our glass dip below the halfway mark… the entire team all worked together to make sure the experience was truly enjoyable.

Often times I find when you go out for a restaurant week, you’re not treated as well because you’re not typically spending as much as a regular customer, but this time I truly felt like a VIP.

Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts, we’ve already told all of our friends to come make a visit and we will definitely be back soon.

My husband and I wanted to have a date night and try the DineLA menu. Our friends have raved about this place. Our reservations were at 8:45 and had to wait a few minutes because the place was full of energy and people. Once we sat down, our Sushi Chef Ivan was incredibly attentive and made sure we had a memorable experience. He mentioned our server was backed up and would get us our drinks as soon as possible. David was our server and he too was hustling and making sure we had everything we needed. It was our first time sitting at a sushi bar and Ivan made the experience one we will never forget. He's definitely a keeper and we will go back and request him!

Jenny has been nothing but welcoming for me and my party. I will 100% be coming back for her and the food. Everything was amazing and will be back for Jenny’s service.

Been here twice. The food amazed me the first time but the second time when we had the happy hour menu it wasn’t as good.
