Impeccable food and impeccable service. First time back in two years for us and it was as good or better than ever.
Fantastic food and service. Dane provided great guidance on the somakase and pairings. We love Uchiko!
Excellent experience, service and quality of food- as always! Never disappoints. Exceptional happy hour as well.
Great selection, our server Cassandra helped guide us with great ease. We appreciate the complimenting birthday dessert.
I have never had a less than exceptional experience at this family of restaurants, but my most recent meal was just bad. One roll was so fishy I couldn't eat it, another was flavorless, and the nabe was cold and soupy. We sat for 20 minutes before our first dish arrived and our appetizer showed up abt 45 minutes into our meal. I know they're capable and have the talent to be exceptional - I hope it was just an off night.
I entered the dietary restriction in the reservation, and also told our server. After we'd been served about half the meal, the server notified us that a dish we had already consumed was not safe for us to eat and he apologized. We paid full price. We were sick for 2 days. So a pretty bad experience here.
I was a little disappointed with the experience. It was super loud and I felt like we were being rushed to order and eat our food. The food tasted great.
30 minutes before our waitress took our drink order. We told her at that time we were ready to order and she said she had to put the drinks in first. When she came back she asked if we wanted appetizers and we said we were ready and wanted the somalase. She said she had to check on her other tables first. The food came out extremely slow, she was inattentive at best, then messed up the dessert. The manager came over and comped the dessert. When the bill didn't reflect that we told the waitress and she said she had to check with her manager. Really weird experience.
We had the most incredible experience at Uchiko (celebrating our anniversary). The food was fantastic - such unique flavors and the sushi was so fresh. Everything we ate was wonderful. We tried the omakase chef tasting and from beginning to end it was incredible. The tasting is updated daily which is cool to know you could come back and have something entirely different. Highly recommend! It was also so impressive that the servers knew so much about each dish considering they change daily! In addition to the incredible food, the service was amazing!! Our server, Eirene, was amazing - so attentive, knowledgeable, and truly made our night one to remember. We felt truly celebrated and each detail was so thoughtful. I will also add that all of the staff was incredible, and it was awesome to watch all of them work as a team throughout the night! Thank you for such a wonderful evening!

One of the best restaurants in Austin. The level of service this team provides is unmatched.
I truly feel so special and taken care of every time I’m here.
The food is also incredible, I believe they have the best nigiri pieces in Austin, but I continued to be extremely impressed by their hot food and desserts as well.
This team is excellent at everything they do.

I’ve been here many times but it’s been a few years since my last time. My love, Annie passed away 3 years ago and it was her favorite spot. We went there every year for her birthday. Well, today’s the day and I decided that I had it in me to go and celebrate her, at her favorite spot. The food was spectacular. The service even more so. I was struggling to keep it together the whole time but Adara and Kai took such great care of me. Thank you all so much. I couldn’t recommend a place more. ❤️

Perfect food. Perfect service. Every dish builds upon itself. Our favorite restaurant in Austin!
I’ve been dining at Uchi for 10+ years across multiple cities, and yesterday at this location I experienced the worst service in my history with the brand.
We walked in without a reservation at 5:45 PM on a Sunday. After asking the hostess for a wait time, she didn’t properly communicate our request to the lead hostess, and we had to confirm again.
We were seated at the bar promptly, but our waiter seemed disengaged. While ordering multiple sashimi dishes, he unnecessarily confirmed the prices in a way that felt condescending, “Just making sure you know what you ordered is priced on the right hand side”…like yes bud I’ve been having sashimi for over two decades.
Several dishes were forgotten, and unlike the table next to us, we weren’t offered any gesture for delays.
At the end, when we asked for burger recommendations in Austin between NADC or Jewboy, he refused to offer suggestions or involve someone else.
The food was phenomenal, as always, but service matters — and this visit fell far below the Uchi standard.

My husband and I went here for our anniversary. We informed them before hand that it was our anniversary in the reservation. All of the staff was extremely attentive to us and quite generous with an extra appetizer (Brussels sprouts) and dessert (sorbet) during our visit. We can’t wait to come back. The waygu nigiri, blue fin belly cut and P38 (yellow tail) sushis were our favorites. Highly recommend this spot!
