We managed to get in without a reservation, but I would recommend making one. Dallas, our server was superb. He made suggestions from their extensive menu that did not disappoint. The sake was enlightening. It's definitely a visual and taste driven experience. Bring your wallet, but the experience was worth the price.
There is no other restaurant in Austin that I love as much as I love Uchiko. From sake options to cold tastings, from hot items to incredible desserts you are in for a culinary ride. Talking about desserts, always make sure to have room for dessert as they are a piece of art. If you have a bigger party go for the chef’s menu and you would love it. I once hosted a birthday party for 8 people and worked with someone from the restaurant to craft a special menu with sake pairing. It was a fantastic dinner event and everyone loved it. You are looking at a $150-250/person price point but this place will leave you wanting more. Advanced reservations are required.
Highly creative and extremely tasty sushi and Japanese fusion dishes. The serving staff are very helpful in making selections from the large range of choices, and there's an option for either chef's choice or personally tailored tasting menu. Expensive but well worth it.
Uchiko has been on my list for a long time! A gift card from a friend finally got me there which is sad that I waited so long. Incredible experience and excellent flavors! Shoutout to our server Cassandra for walking us through the whole thing. So many excellent things to choose and you absolutely must save room for dessert!! Milk and cereal was my favorite!I’m be thinking about this meal for a long time. Thanks to all the phenomenal kitchen staff and all the great servers and hostesses too!
10 course Omakase: You have a conversation about the type of taste profile you're looking for with the chef and he whips up a menu for you and your party.
My wife and I enjoyed all dishes but it's the whole experience that we enjoyed the most. I recommend seating at the bar to get a glimpse of controlled chaos and see professionals at work. It's a beautiful site. We'll be back for more.
We had an amazing happy hour dinner here! The food was top notch and the price for the omakase happy hour for two was great and then we got a few more 2pc nigiri’s off the happy hour menu. Our server was the best!
Great experience! The entire staff is very professional and knowledgeable. My favorite was the lava rock experience I believe. They give you thin strips of Wagyu and you seer it yourself at your table.
My favorite member of staff was Kelly!
Kelly was very receptive to everyone's needs. It was a very busy and overcrowded Friday night. She was able to attend to all of our needs (food and drinks). Please promote her.
This was my second time at Uchiko, and it was just as amazing as the first time. Our amazing server Dani brought us bites all night until we were full. She knocked every bite out of the park!!!! Top-level service and fresh food. The scallops were by far my favorite, but the wagyu short rib literally melted in my mouth. But the MUST try is the trumpet mushrooms. I would have never chosen it, but trust me, you will be so glad you had it. Lastly, the dessert trio of smore, sweet potato, and Vietnamese coffee ice cream was the best way to ensure we left with our clothes a little tighter than when we got there!!!
One of the best meals I’ve ever had - everything is expertly crafted with high quality ingredients to really make a special dining experience. BYOW was a nice option as well albeit a high corkage fee. Pricey but definitely worth the trip out - highly recommend any of the sushi, Ko salad and the the milk and cereal dessert
Blown away pretty much every time I eat here, the experience is only improved by the incredible staff. One of my favorite things to do is to give a price point and then have my server curate the best plates based on this. Don't forget to order dessert!
