The food is not that bad, just significantly over priced. It is noticeably worse than similar priced sushi in NYC. 吃了个寂寞。

Very RUDE and judgmental staff! I was really excited to try Uchi until I arrived and met the employees. The hostess and servers are not nice. I will NOT be coming back! Only stayed for a drink because of the rudeness!

This is one of the best place to get Japanese cuisine. They fly the fishes from Japan. Melts in your mouth. We ordered whatever our sushi master recommended and was amazing. Love this spot. My favorite in Austin.

Omakase is delightful - everything is superb. I am allergic to peanuts and they were very accommodating and careful.Dietary restrictions: allergic to peanuts and coconut
It’s a great restaurant, no one can deny that. To go on Tuesday night and finding out the restaurant is completely full and even when we made a reservation, we had to wait for about 20 minutes to be seated.But after I got a little sour of the waiting, the food, the atmosphere and the service just made me forget about it.There is huge variety, and everything is fresh and the presentation is mind blowing.We used to live close by and were going there a good lot. Now that we have moved to Leander, we are coming a lot less but still making the drive.
The 2 who ordered the omakase (for 2) looived it! (And they know fish, and sushi). Surprise to us visiting from NY. Also myself as the vegetarian was super pleased and overwhelmed at my options to choose from at a Japanese restaurant. Typically in the US, this has not been the case for me (just few standard rolls and edamame). I didn't get the vegetarian omakase bc I was afraid it would be too much food for me. The 5 dishes I tried were excellent (except the trumpet mushroom nigiri piece). The fried brocolli katsu was heavenly and usually dont love fried food. They this place and you won't be disappointed!Vegetarian options: Vegetarian menu and Vegetarian omakase option.Dietary restrictions: Very attentive to the one oyster allergy at our table.

Incredible sushi. It has to be one of the best I’ve ever had in my life. VERY costly but I’d recommend the happy hour if you want to go more affordably (still around $70-100 a person though!). Left hungry but happy. Can’t wait to come back!! Just know you’re paying for the experience and quality, not amount of food

Best sushi I’ve ever eaten. Creative. Flavorful. Delicious. The only complaint I would make is the sky high cost, but you get what you pay for.
Everyone (including other guests) were super friendly. This is the best sushi I've ever had. I was on vacation in Denver and my only regret is trying Uchi on my last day. The next time I'm in town this will be the first stop. I will make it a priority to try more things on the menu.

When you think of high-end sushi, this is the place. We went with the Omakase and were very pleased. Although I think next time we will sit up at the sushi bar. Highly recommended. Also, this place is not cheap so be prepared! By the way, where we were sitting was very dark so I tried my best to get decent photos of the dishes. And please don't ask me what they were, because there were so many that came out and there's no way I could remember them all. If it looks like salmon, it's salmon! If it looks like meat, it was probably a5 wagyu. All in all a perfect experience. But I would suggest that they add a little more lighting or turn up the lights a little more.

Out of this world! Highly recommend and you won’t be disappointed with each bite. Unique flavors and beautiful arrangements. Our server Cass (I hope I spelled that right) was part of what made the whole experience truly incredible. Many thanks!!
