ℳ𝒶𝓎♍August 2, 2015Go for the sake social hour. Just order everything on the sake hour's menu and let the staff surprise you with how they queue it up. Sit back, relax, sip on your drink and the food will flow outUpvoted 2 weeks ago
Austin ChronicleJune 18, 2013A trip to Uchiko is a treat for the senses, with creative flavor pairings in dishes like rosemary-smoked duck with candied citrus or pork-belly-and-egg sushi. Decor is almost too beautiful to look at. Read more
Mike WinstonMay 28, 2015Truly as great as everyone says. The menu is fully loaded with innovative twists on Japanese classics. Don't miss the ceviches, Hot Rock, & Jar Jar Duck and read all about it on WinstonWanders below!! Read more
Grab a cappelletti spritz and dig into the P38, crunchy tuna roll, wagyu, yokai berry, and save room for the milk and cereal dessert!
An Austin fave: special daily nigiri, sweet potato tempura, yokai berry salmon, wagyu hot rock, p-38 and crunchy tuna roll, and save room for milk and cereal dessert
jennifer hanMarch 5, 2015i had my bday dinner here and it was lovely. the menu is extensive so if i had to chose...my favorites: the hot rock (sear your own wagyu beef), scallop sushi, and fried milk dessert. skip the rolls.
ArtJonakMarch 11, 2013Simply brilliant! Sibling to Paul Qui’s Uchi, get ready for some wildly creative Japanese food art! Stunning beautiful presentations & mind-blowing desserts! Understandably... space is always limited!- Leigh FerreiraMarch 11, 2014fantastic veggie options: the brussel sprouts r 2 die 4! ginger veggie rolls & sho chiku bai nigori. in my top 10 meals of a time!! just wow.
Travel ChannelMarch 5, 2012James Bear Award-winning Chef Tyson Cole’s restaurant offers painstakingly crafted bites like Jar Jar Duck - Seared duck breast and duck confit served in a mason jar and pumped full of flavored smoke.- Really amazing. The Fried Milk dessert is a MUST! The Yokai Berry and Pork Jowl are also favorites. The sake toro nigiri is incredible. Great options for everyone, even if you don't like raw fish.
Norman EllisMarch 24, 2016If they tell you there are no reservations take a risk and do a walk in. Great chance they'll find you a table if your party is a manageable size. Count on a 20min wait. It's worth it!
Oz LublingFebruary 9, 2017Incredible to die for Japanese food. The flavors and combination of ingredients are to die for. Don't waste your time ordering traditional sushi, check out the more adventures menu options.
Andy WangNovember 27, 2014Everything is awesome but the congee is out of this world! More cooked food than Uchi. Be prepared to drop some Benjamins for dinner but it's probably my favorite restaurant in Austin right now. now
Divya MulanjurFebruary 15, 2015Best sushi! Everything was amazing! Order the specials. For sake, order dreamy clouds. It is an amazing drink - slightly dry and not too sweet. The place is expensive, but is totally worth the money.- Stirling MorrisOctober 21, 2014The yokai berry is divine. Full of flavor, the citrus, sweet pear, & salty kale stand alone, but next to the salmon, the dish is the most complete Japanese dish you could ever dream up. Wow, just wow.
AmateurConciergeJune 16, 2021More meat offerings than Uchi. And that wagyu short rib joint is incredible
Monday nights they have vegetable nigiri - think four varieties of mushroom, or avocado, squash and more. I am a sushi traditionalist and I *loved* it. Trumpet mushrooms to die for.
Laura BrenskelleNovember 18, 2013Went here for my birthday this year & everything was so tasty! Each dish you order comes out one at a time, but you don't get uncomfortably full that way. And trust me, you'll want to eat it all.
Richard KiddFebruary 4, 2017We had an amazing meal here. The sushi was fresh and very well prepared. Excellent service and ambiance. 5 star experience!
Daniel BarnettJanuary 18, 2015Simply put, they do amazing things with food. Big eyed tuna, Brussels sprouts, quail, beef tongue, hamachi, all things I'm not worthy of.
Men's Health MagFebruary 4, 2015Hailed as one of the top Japanese restaurants in the U.S., this spot focuses on contemporary and farmhouse-style fare, respectively. You can’t beat the ever-changing tasting menu. Read more- JessicaMay 4, 2014Stunning food and flawless service. Our server Kenji put together an incredible meal for us. I'll be dreaming about the wagyu beef belly for a long time.
Samantha SmithApril 6, 2017Fantastic experience. Must get the brussel sprouts. Tasmanian trout, hot stone wagu beef and the 3 day aged beef tougue (which the waiter called beef butter)
Josh AMay 13, 2015It's delicious! High brow Japanese done in a surprisingly casual environment. Prices are high, fish is fresh, preparations are creative. Get the tobacco cream to finish.
Mu-An 👾April 7, 2016Omakase, close your menu now. Also dat wagyu 🐃. While being a lover of traditional sushi I still think this was prettyyyyy great. Fried milk was OKAY I would rather have more raw fish ✌️.
June KimApril 11, 2015Awesome food. Dont be shy to try some of the unconventional items on the menu! My sister lives in California and dreams about some of her favorite dishes here.
Justin MartinNovember 11, 2021Great saki! The brussle sprouts were perfect, the kinoko needed a contrasting texture, the beef & romaine lettuce was chewy. Other rolls were on point & well executed . A solid & enjoyed effort.
A great selection of veggie options. The komaki rolls, avacado nigiri and the trumpet mushroom nigri are a must try.
Marty MankinsDecember 15, 2017Incredible service, great choices from the Happy Hour menu including the Sake Nigiri for $4 for two pieces.
KitchenAidApril 25, 2013A fantastic restaurant serving up fresh fish and highly inventive dishes, Uchiko may be off the beaten path, but is well worth the trip. Don't miss the Brussels sprouts!
Russell HirschornMarch 4, 2016Fantastic small plates that pack a punch, jar jar duck was really something, id stay away from the single pieces
The P-38 roll is epic, the Hot Rock is fantastic when you're looking for a non-fish option, and the Fried Milk (pictured) is the best dessert in Austin, and quite possibly all of America.
Paul GarlingtonMarch 5, 2015Unbelievably exquisite food with unparalleled service staff. By far, the best most unconventional sushi experience I've ever had.
- AmateurConciergeDecember 14, 2022Superior to uchi because of all the wagyu offerings. Fried chicken, amberjack, the wagyu sashimi joint…..tigers nest
Modern HombreApril 5, 2011The Fried Milk is the best dessert in the country right now. Seriously. Not that you can go wrong with anything on Tyson Cole's epic menu. Just make sure you leave room for the Milk for dessert.
Samantha YoungJune 18, 2015Love everything about this restaurant, from the philosophy on food to the inviting environment and of course the amazing food Read more
exfmFebruary 24, 2012This ones for you sushi lovers that want your traditional meal to come with a twist. Even the desserts are impressive. If you want to go balls to the wall try the 10 dish tasting menu.
EaterJuly 30, 2012With Paul Qui's recent Top Chef win and rise to celebrity stardom, we can no longer keep Uchiko's Japanese farmhouse fare to ourselves. [Eater 38 Member]- You can't go wrong with anything here. But make sure you get the Brussels Sprouts, Karaage, a P-38 roll and the Fried Milk for dessert.
Get here right before 5pm for social hour or you'll probably miss out. Then, get the unfiltered Takara Nigori sake for $3 a pop.
Re ZrnNovember 17, 2012Try the Jar Jar Duck. A "5 senses" experience you can't get wrong! Or get a seat at the sushi bar for a close up view at the masters' work.
Brandi LyonsJune 12, 2013This is the best place to experience real culinary artistry for the first time. It's delicious and I think it's very fairly priced for the quality.
Victoria SchaeferDecember 14, 2012Yes, it's hip, trendy and packed every night but don't let that stop you. Food is fresh, creative and amazing. Tasting menu is sublime.
David StrasserOctober 11, 2014Do the omakase. Put your trust in the incredibly talented chefs and extremely attentive waitstaff. Fantastic experience.
spassmeisterJuly 11, 2010If you are a sushi fan visiting (or living) in the Austin area you must try Uchiko. While they have the classic mix of japanese dishes, they are all unique twists ....Uchiko's "goes to 11" must visit Read more
- The Tastes that Make the CityMarch 2, 2015The jar jar duck is the best duck in Austin, which is why it’s on our list of The Tastes That Make the City: Austin. Read more
Christine HaMarch 16, 2016Do a chef's tasting. Seasonal menu but faves are Hama chili, Brussels sprouts, bacon tataki, uni corn dessert. 🍣
Pat HughesJuly 15, 2012Ridiculously awesome! Omikase means "I trust you" trust them and let them choose your meal, you won't be disappointed.. And. make a reservation!
