Insanely overpriced and overrated in my opinion. Dinner for 2 with no drinks was $525 with tip. I should have asked for price before ordering but this is crazy expensive for the portions. I’m sorry but no way.

Wow, what an amazing night! We had Joe Guerra as our server and he was absolutely the best! His ability to tune into people and provide the perfect food choices is incredibly impressive. This young man is truly gifted and made the night a memorable experience. Highly recommend!

That's a fantastic testimonial for a sushi place! It clearly highlights how they managed to convert someone who was strictly a sashimi eater. Here is a review draft based on your feedback: 🍣 Stellar Sushi Experience! ⭐️ As someone who only eats sashimi and typically avoids traditional sushi, I went into this expecting the usual. This place, however, totally changed my mind! The quality of the fresh food is truly outstanding. The combination of flavor and freshness in their rolls was so exceptional that I am now a convert. If you are a sashimi purist, or just looking for truly high-quality, flavorful sushi, you must try this spot!

Alexis really took care of us. A large part of the group had never had sushi before and she remained flexible and affable and gave great recommendations. Everyone was full and very happy at the end of the meal. We were also celebrating the first anniversary of one of the couples present and they felt so special through her treatment of our table. We love bringing people to Uchi because the experience is consistently excellent and the food is top tier.

Food and service were excellent. But I had expected a more intimate experience, especially since we paid over $500 for the two of us. There was a large party of over twenty young men, babies in strollers, constant delivery orders being picked up. I didn't think the atmosphere matched up to the caliber of the food and service.

I bought a gift card for Uchi because it used to be a place I truly loved—a place I looked forward to visiting again once life calmed down. But right after I purchased it, my world shifted. I went through serious health issues that took me almost two years to overcome. Getting back to a point where I felt like myself again was a long, painful process, and finally being able to return to a restaurant that once felt special to me was something I genuinely looked forward to. When I called to use my gift card, I was told it had “expired.” Hearing that felt like a punch in the gut. I wasn’t ignoring it—I was fighting to get my health back. The idea that money I paid for could simply vanish because I got sick is unbelievably disappointing. I even emailed management, hoping someone would hear me out. No one ever responded. Not even a short acknowledgment. After decades of living in Austin and being a loyal customer since Uchi first opened, that silence hurt more than anything. It became painfully clear that they don’t actually value the people who support them. I will never go back. There are many incredible sushi restaurants in Austin that treat their customers with basic respect and decency. Uchi should be ashamed that they couldn’t show even a small amount of compassion or honor a gift card from someone who has supported them for years.

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.

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.

Several dishes were too salty, which is disappointing considering the price point and overall hype. Otoro was the best

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
