As it was not impressed at the beginning but give a star to“Elizabet M.” She handled it very well, turned all situations to make us special and felt impressive. Food quality is truly massive and valued. We had a great experience with Uchiko.

We've been eating at uchi and uchiko since they opened. Our server was terrible. We've always had great service but this time it ruined our whole experience.
Kevin
Great food, great service. Dax was great with all his suggestions on sushi and made it a special evening!

Uchiko is by far the best sushi restaurant my girlfriend and I have been to. The staff was very nice, we initially got a table in the middle of the room which definitely was a bad spot for me. It was too loud and cramped. I asked if they had any booths open and luckily they did. The booth was great, I could hear myself think and could actually have a conversation with my girlfriend while eating. As for the food, everything was delicious and some of the sushi changed our lives. We never tasted anything as delicious as that before. The time it took for us to get our food as we ordered was a bit slow but it was pretty packed so I guess I can understand that. The prices are going to hurt the wallet quite a bit so be prepared to spend at least a few hundred. Overall, a great experience and we'd love to go back.

We always have a positive experience at Uchi and their sister restaurants. They were busy and sat us late but that was okay because we were given complimentary apps and our drink orders were taken. As always, the food was excellent and so was the service.

We had an incredible time celebrating a family milestone at Uchiko. From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless—the valet was prompt and polite, and the greeting staff made us feel genuinely welcomed. Our server was fantastic—friendly, sharp, and clearly knew the menu inside and out. They recommended a few standout dishes we might've missed otherwise, and every single one was spot-on. The food was stunning—not just in presentation, but in flavor. Every bite was bold, fresh, and beautifully balanced. The atmosphere struck the perfect balance between lively and intimate—just right for a special night out. Uchiko made our celebration feel truly special, and we left feeling full, happy, and already planning our next visit. Can't recommend it enough!

Drinks were great, food was good but not sure it was worth the price tag. Overall good experience with vibes and service but unsure if it was worth the price.
Dorothy
The seafood was fresh and the whole dining experience was next level. My favorite were the hama chili, the dry aged salmon and the wagyu nigiri.
Tina
Always love coming back when visiting Austin. Unique and delicious cuisine. Service was impeccable.

Tonight, my husband and I tried Uchiko for the first time. We had the Okamase. Everything was absolutely delicious. They put so much creativity and detail in every dish. We had a wonderful waitress. I would definitely recommend it.

I’ve seen parodies of pretentious restaurants, most notably In Steve Martin’s LA Story, however I’ve finally run into one here in Austin. After trying to decipher the menu, we were told there was no sushi as a dinner, save for the a la carte pieces. It was one of those surreal experiences that you get only in movies. Microscopic sized portions......and while they were mostly edible, it left you with the feeling, “did I just eat something?”. The only thing that was sizable in this place was the bill, no mistaking about that. I kept thinking that the hidden cameras were going to be revealed to us and the host was going to thank us for being good sports, but alas that wasn’t to be. Avoid this place like the plague, I know we will. (This review was written in 2018 but corrected some spelling errors as I was writing another review and saw them)
