My son and I had lunch here while visiting Miami. The overall experience was excellent. Restaurant had an upscale-hip-modern vibe. We did the price fixe lunch with other items à la carte and everything was excellent. We started with a salmon crudo and had the Uchi burger, Chirashi bowl, yellowtail roll, and salmon roll as entrees. The sushi was very fresh and other items were very flavorful with unique taste profiles. For dessert, we had the seasonal sorbet which was fabulous - one scoop of coconut sorbet with coconut crunchies at the bottom drizzled with a light glaze. My only complaint was the wait between dishes seemed very long. I don’t like to sit for a 105 min lunch so it just felt too long. I’m from NY and want to be in and out in under 60 min. Overall, food was terrific and would highly recommend.

I highly recommend the sake Toro crudo and hama chili. Incredible flavor, I wanted to jump out of my chair and dance with food excitement, if that gives you any indication of how good it was!!!

Great atmosphere and very good quality food overall. The Hama Chili was outstanding — excellent flavor and extremely fresh fish. The other dishes were also delicious. A lovely place to try if you’re visiting Miami. Highly recommended.

Very disappointed. Went there for Lunch with my best friend for my Birthday. We could not get a table even though we twice asked for one. Restaurant was half empty. I had to go to the Bar.

We’ve been to Uchi Miami before and had great experiences, which is why today was so disappointing. Unfortunately, the service during our lunch visit was horrible. It took about 30 minutes just for the server to take our order, and when he did, he wasn’t helpful at all with the menu.
A couple of items from our order were forgotten, even after we reminded him twice. We also asked for soy sauce multiple times and never received it. Overall, the service felt inattentive and disorganized, which really took away from the experience.
We know how good this place can be, which makes this even more frustrating. After today’s visit, we’re honestly not sure if we’ll be coming back.

Please know that when I say 5 stars, I really mean infinite stars. This place was beyond my expectations. From the moment we walked in we were greeted with lovely hostesses and then were sat at the sushi counter (highly recommend booking the sushi counter if making a ressie) where the sushi chef takes your order and recommends amazing selections throughout your dinner. We started with two of each tuna piece to start and from there, Uchi proceeded to ruin all other sushi places for us. The fish was incredibly fresh, melt in your mouth and flavorful. We recently went to Japan in November and let me tell you, this place easily could have been located there. We will absolutely be back. It was a little on the pricier side for dinner but it looks like they have amazing lunch options if you’re looking to eat amazing sushi within a budget. Don’t skip this place!!! Oh and their drinks were 10/10 too!

Food was amazing, but the best part was the service if you have a chance to enjoy this place ask for Dante he was our server and we have an amazing experience with perfect recommendations.
Amazing experience! The service was outstanding, and Dante’s recommendations were absolutely the best. He was knowledgeable, attentive, and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Diego went above and beyond to accommodate me as a vegetarian. Absolutely fantastic and he was extremely personable. I don’t leave reviews ever but I want to make sure Diego gets the recognition he deserves. I also don’t typically struggle to find things to eat at places (I didn’t struggle here at all) but he went way above all expectations to ensure I had a great experience!

Extraordinary! This was my first time at Uchi, and we went specifically for happy hour and ended up absolutely loving the place.
They preserve traditional Japanese ingredients and techniques while adding clever fusion innovations that elevate Japanese/Asian cuisine to the next level.
The service was friendly, and every plate was delivered with a clear description, which showed the servers' knowledge and attention to detail. The space has the perfect balance of warm wood and natural furniture, low lighting, and a really cozy, inviting atmosphere.
For appetizers, we started with the Sake Toro Crudo, which was really fresh and tasty, with bright fruity flavors and a nice ginger kick. The Hama Chilli is a must-have, the perfect combination of fresh fish, citrus, and spice.
I got the burger, and wow, it was really tasty, I'd say one of the best burgers I've ever tried. The fries that came with it were spot-on: crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside.
My wife went for the Karaage bowl, and the chicken had the perfect amount and level of sweetness and spicy.
The dessert was lime sorbet, which we loved.
Can’t wait to come back.

Great place to relax and enjoy the culinary experience. The food was excellent, hands down, though there were longer waits between orders. We were seated fairly quickly despite it being a busy Thursday night. The staff and chefs were very welcoming from the moment we walked in.
