my boyfriend and I went to Uchi after reading an article on the NYT. I need to say that I am not a big fun of Sushi in general... but eating at Uchi, really made me change my mind!!! I had no idea of what ordering. Our waiter was simpy great!!! He recommended us a sort of a surprise dinner... More

When we first arrived, I thought it was a big mistake because the menu seemed too complicated, the place was packed and we had a 15-month-old toddler with us. However, I was wrong! Our waiter was wonderful in explaining how everything worked and in recommending dishes for us. The toddler sat in his chair and ate everything we put in... More

I came in March 2013 for happy hour. People were already lined up down the block to get in when we arrived about 15-20 minutes before they opened. They sent out someone with some teaser rolls which I thought was thoughtful. Everyone on staff was very nice and the food was fantastic for the most part. Our waiter had recommended... More

Food is unique and superior freshness. The service is personal and attentive. It may be a little pricey to some but it is well worth it.

I went to Uchi in May 2013 during the OTC show. We had 4 in our party, and took the waiter up on his offer to order for us. We were not disappointed. Each dish was carefully constructed, and explained in detail by our waiter. We tried 8-10 dishes, and left incredibly satisfied. Prices were very reasonable. Try the fried... More

One of the best restaurant I had ever been. The food and staff were excellent. You just can't get enough of the exclusive dishes because they are so good. A must visit restaurant when in Houston. Would like to go every week if won't so expensive.

We had heard so much about this restaurant from both friends and reviewers that we feared that there was no way it could live up to the high expectations we walked in the door with. We were wrong. From the friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable staff, to the incredibly fresh and perfectly marinated and/or prepared fish to the wines that matched... More

Wonderful large menu with lots of interesting choices. We had trouble narrowing down what we wanted - so we tried several more than we needed to. We were pretty full when we left, but very happy with our choices. The robato grill selections were particularly creative and delicious. If you can control how much you order, you can get away...

I spent five days in Houston in early May (when the weather was pleasantly warm but not too hot and not yet humid). The hubby and I went on a Wednesday night and the place was packed. Unfortunately, I failed to make reservations. We were told there'd be an hour wait so I tried to reserve a table for Friday... More

If you want to wait for half an hour although you have a reservation, then listen to the waiter "explain" the food for 5 minutes at each course and then pay a very high price for all this, this is the place for you! If, like me, you are put off by pretentious people and prefer good food without all... More
