Uchiko is consistently wonderful. Excellent food, service and overall dining experience. The happy hour is great value. Additionally, we had a table waiting on ours and the manager gave us $25 gift cards for the inconvenience. Not necessary at all but a kind gesture.

We always are treated to a wonderful experience at Uchiko. Tonight was no exception. The food was absolute perfection. Every ingredient is impeccably sourced and masterfully prepared. Our server, Brian is absolutely a joy to work with and truly took care of us like family. I can't say enough.

I visit uchiko regularly and this review is influenced by a recent stay in Japan. Despite an odd night, it remains a favorite of mine. I sat at the bar and was disappointed to get my canned beer in a room temperature small water glass. It was a mood killer for enjoying my beer. Next for the Ko salad I was told TWICE to eat it with my fingers. Ok ok maybe I don't want to.... It had fallen apart and my fingers were in dressing ack. So I found that intrusion off putting. I'm there to relax and enjoy my food. Finally the fish and kinoko were good, not supreme but good. Overall it was a good meal.

Terrible service didn’t serve half the table i.e. it took 2 hours before I got the food I ordered. I wouldn’t trust them with allergies. Server ignored my requests multiple times. I was really disappointed since Uchi is the complete opposite of this place. Don’t recommend coming here. Was hungry when I came here, hungry when I left and spent $500 between 2.

2nd time Austin visitor and couldn’t miss dining here! My daughter and I sat at the bar and it was a fun experience! Very one on one service! Atmosphere is versatile: not quiet, but not loud; can be cozy and entertaining at the same time! So smartly designed. Try the unfiltered Sake! The food was exceptional. Nothing looks the same. Chefs here come up with amazing combinations of fish, textures, colors, and flavors that blend perfectly. Loved the Charred Edamames! An odd one but great was the mushroom one! Oh…. Must try the banana desert…. Muahhh! Not cheap! But you can taste and feel the quality and the dedication on each serving! I declare UCHIKO my one place to go when I visit Austin!
Went to Uchiko for their happy hour omakase and it was so delicious! The price and the quality make it well worth! The service was amazing and the ambiance is super nice!
There is complimentary valet which was a lifesaver since this area has very little parking and there are signs in the neighborhood saying not to park there.
It’s super popular here so I’d recommend making a reservation before hand! They were able to accommodate some walk-ins while we were there but the place was packed!

Unfortunately, the NYE omakase did not feel worth the price. We were assured it would be a substantial amount of food and that we wouldn't leave hungry, but that wasn't our experience. We spent just under $600 for the omakase for two, drinks, and an additional dessert. While the sushi courses were excellent, there were only two to three included. Overall, we wished we had ordered from the regular menu instead. Lesson learned.

Very slow service. This place was great in the past but it has definitely changed.
We were celebrating our anniversary, and without knowing this our server msde it a memorable experience. The happy hour tasting menu was fabulous, we ordered a few more items to complete our meal. We will be back!

The staff always takes such good care of us. For our anniversary, our server Anna, was super personable and generous. It seems like everyone who works here has an affinity for attention and care. This most recent visit my partner and I stopped by for a quick bite with our baby. Irene took care of us, and made us feel loved and accepted. Going out with a baby isn't easy sometimes, but Irene made our visit seamless, and she truly created an experience for first time parents to feel taken care of. Thank you so much for making us feel like the most important people in the world. Something about love makes food taste otherworldly.

This is my first time trying Uchiko and couldn’t have had a more exceptional experience. I was seated at the sushi bar right away and served by Adara. She greeted me with insight on the restaurant and asked me genuinely what I was looking for.
I told Adara I was open to the entire experience and was leaning towards her expertise. From there on out, I didn’t lift a finger…
Sean the sushi chef curated everything to what I was looking for. He created an entire experience that has been unmatched in any Omakase I’ve had thus far. Thank you Sean!
Sean and Adara, thank you so much for my first, and certainly not last experience at Uchiko N Lamar. Much love! ❤️ See you soon.

Anna was a great server. Very enthusiastic and knowledge. No rush to serve elsewhere. Staff was ready to clean up broken glass, and was prepared and calm about it
