    Uchi was recommended to me by a friend, who actually told me about the Texas locations previously. So, I was really happy to know that one also exists in Denver! It was my first time going to a Uchi even though it is a chain, and I had only heard great things so I had high expectations. We ordered a bunch of items off the menu. They were all delicious and the sashimi was very fresh. Each dish felt very intentional based on the presentation and proportions of the dish. It felt like we were eating "tapas" throughout the night because of the small portions. The only thing I did not like was the chicken karage - it had a very weird aftertaste which I think might have been attributed by the pickle flavor? We ended the night with the fried milk for dessert, which was so great. My friends and I joked we would be coming back and solely ordering the fried milk next time since we loved it so much.

    This is a fancy sushi place with excellent service. Friends and I sat at the bar & our bartender, Alex, was the best. I let her know I was vegan & she brought out the vegetarian menu & recommended the items that could be made vegan. I had the mapo dofu (made with soft tofu) and it was delicious! I also tried a vegan nigiri AND she hooked me up with a vegan tapioca desert that had pickled blueberries...sooooo good.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Came here for date night, it has the right lighting for a date vibe or an upscale dinner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service is great here, servers are very attentive and offer suggestions if asked. Food was good! We ordered a bunch off the menu: shrimp and chicken karaage, two sushi rolls, sashimi, specialty drinks, hot sake, and dessert. I regret not taking photos of the menu but the sashimi we ordered was off the Toyosu market menu, which means the fish is flown in from Japan. It was yellowtail. Very tasty! The rolls were very good too. My boyfriend loved the karaage. The cocktails were pretty damn good. I had a spicy mezcal drink that I thought was very refreshing. The dessert was amazing! It was a banana cake with ice cream, miso caramel and some kind of crumb that was chef's kiss. The restaurant is pricey but I think it reflects the quality of service and food. I would come back but this place is definitely more of a special occasion type of place.

    Absolutely wonderful experience, Uchi has skyrocketed to the top of my restaurant experiences in Denver! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I dined solo and sat at the sushi bar, which ended up being the best possible way to experience the restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Jessie was my sushi chef and truly made the entire night, his recommendations were spot-on from start to finish. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance in the restaurant is fantastic.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was packed even on a Sunday night, which really says something but I was still able to find street parking close by.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I started with the Uchi gin and tonic which has the addition of yuzu cordial, and it was refreshing and bright without being overly sweet. They also have a great selection of Japanese whiskey and sake. The first dish I ordered was the Hama Chili which contained yellowtail, ponzu, Thai chili, and orange supreme. This was phenomenal. The balance of sweet and spicy was perfect and the dish felt incredibly fresh. When I asked Jessie for a recommendation, he suggested the Masu Crudo which had butternut squash curry, apple, and beet chips. This is something I never would have gravitated toward on my own, and it completely blew me away and it ended up being one of my favorite dishes of the night. Another standout was the Tanin Bune (sea urchin and salmon roe) which also wouldn't have been my first instinct to order, but Jessie so kindly gifted it as his favorite piece and I'm so glad he did because it was absolute perfection and one of the most memorable bites of the night. Everything about this experience felt very intentional, from the food to the service to the atmosphere. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Sitting at the sushi bar made the night feel interactive and fun, even as a solo diner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Uchi is something really special, and I am already looking forward to coming back!

    Had a really positive experience at Uchi. The service stood out right away--our server was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and very attentive, especially when it came to checking for allergies, which I really appreciated. The menu is on the pricier side, but the quality and flavor of the food absolutely justify it. Everything we tried was fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and genuinely delicious. That said, the menu is very shareable. We dined with a group of six and ordered about 1-2 items per person, which worked well and allowed everyone to try a variety of dishes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was great as well: a lively sushi bar area paired with plenty of table seating throughout the restaurant, making it feel both energetic and comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Valet parking is an option, otherwise all street parking. Overall, Uchi delivered on food, service, and atmosphere. Definitely worth it for a special night out!

    Love the food here I live one hour away- but we decided to come back and try some other items since the food is truly delicious One thing to note is service is a bit slow if you add items as you eat, so I recommend ordering everything right away if you're on a "Time crunch" like we were with a baby at home Also note that it's not mentioned on gift cards but they don't let you stack them with any other dine in promotions regardless- quality of dishes are one of the best of Denver

    Uchi is perfection. Time after time, they grant customers with such an elite culinary experience full of fresh fish and delicious drinks. They're most famous for their happy hour, though my friend and I came for "regular dinner" last time. I also realized they have several other locations across the country - good for them! On this particular visit, we had the sea bream, yellowtail, kosho toro maki, mapo dofu, and mango tapioca. Everything was melt-in-your-mouth good and collectively filling - which is always a surprise. Think quality over quantity. Every visit is memorable, and I can't wait to go again. We always seem to have a gift card to use. Make sure you get a reservation!

    Ever since our Great experience at Uchi Houston, been wanting to check out all of the Uchis. While the service was not as great (a bit slow and no complimentary dishes) as in Houston, we still had an excellent time. We ordered a lot, created our own 16 course menu, paired with a bottle of wine. Highlight for me was pairing Stolpman Uni (Uchi collaborated w Stolpman on the wine) with actual Uni; it was a perfect match. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a high energy place with a lot of beautiful people. Great date spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was amazed how crowded and consistently busy this place was on a Monday evening.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Bonus for us was that we found street parking!

    This place never disappoints.. I just love the food and the staff here. It doesn't matter what location of uchi we go to, they all are always the same and deliver amazing quality and service. Just love love them!

    HH Pork Belly
    Bennett P.

    This Japanese restaurant in Rino has been on my bucket list for years. I made a reservation thru my OpenTable app for 4pm. Good thing. When I arrived I was in a group of 30 people waiting to enter. The sushi bar filled up quickly, so I got a table nearby. My server, Billy introduced himself. He said the regular menu was also available. I started with the seasonal spritz made with seadonal shrub, sparkling wine & vermouth. My first HH choice was Bincho Temaki, a hand roll with albacore & kimchi. It was served with a dipping sauce. I noticed no Tamara or soy sauce on the tables. Next was a half order from the regular menu of their Uchi salad. A creative version similar to a lettuce wrap with a daikon spear and a crunchy jalapeno-edamane and cashew pesto sauce. Yummy. I added the HH whitefish nuggets and the HH pork belly. Both very good. My next drink was a 2 oz pour of Mars Iwai "Tradition" whiskey. Billy asked if I wanted a big rock or cubes of ice. I opted for cubes. As the ice gradually melts, it softened the whiskey. I ordered the Spicy Crunchy Salmon, but Billy said the sushi bar was swamped and it would be 20 minutes. I went ahead and got more food including the Crispy Rice with Gyutoro. When the salmon roll arrived, it was smaller than expected for $16.50; I got the HH Tapioca pudding with a Ume Punch. So I went whole hog for this bucket list place. No service charge.

    fried milk vanilla custard, fudge, blondie crumble. The custard is the right amount of creamy and sweet.

    Great sushi spot with creative takes on traditional sushi dishes. What doesn't bring it to 5 stars is that not many of the dishes rose to the level of "amazing" or even "memorable". [[HIGHLIGHT]]We had a private dinner in their back room which fits about 20 people. It's nice because they have sliding glass doors which provide privacy but you can still see the restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had a 10 course meal with a variety of sushi, rolls, salad, cooked fish, sashimi, and meat. Some of the sushi was inventive and they managed the fishiness of fish like mackerel. Some of the sushi nigiri didn't quite pack a great amount of punch so they were good but forgettable. Some dishes really were unique like the salmon belly, the malu malu, and the wagyu. And the fried milk dessert was amazing. But again, from start to finish it was a little uneven. Service was fantastic and the drinks were very good. All in all we had a great time but it doesn't quite reach the level of the best of the best.

    One of the coolest spots I've been to in Denver. The decor, servers, plating, etc. make me feel like I'm in a different city in the best way. We went for happy hour (highly recommend) and tried their omakase. The happy hour omakase was a great deal, just make sure to go with someone else since it comes in sets of 2. The courses were well timed and our server was delightful. She made sure to explain each course and was incredibly attentive to drinks, timing, preferences, etc., even though it was incredibly busy. She even brought out some extra nigiri (scallop) when we mentioned we'd like as much seafood as possible, which turned out to be my favorite bite of the night! The drinks and meal itself to die for. I had a kocha drink, which was refreshing and light. For the omakase we started off with a lettuce, radish, and edamame salad, then moved onto hamachi sashimi, salmon roll, tuna collar, mapo tofu, salmon and yellowtail nigiri, pork chop, and scallop nigiri, ending the night with coconut tapioca. If I explained how thoroughly I enjoyed each dish, this review would be 20 pages long. I will say the meal was very balanced and had a great progression from lighter to heavier flavors, and each dish was devoured! There were combinations I wasn't expecting that I was delightfully surprised by. I was also SO incredibly full after so I wouldn't be concerned about portion size. Overall, will most definitely be coming back and bring friends/family here again too!

    When is the happy hour from, and on what days of the week do they do it?

    Hello! We offer happy hour every day, with the exception of a couple holidays. It runs between 4:00-6:00pm.

    Typically how much is the omakase?

    Went today and it was $50 for six course per person (but minimum of two, so $100 total) or $125 for ten course per person.

    Is the Omakase worth it? Will it fill you up?

    For us, yes, definitely!

    Can I bring my own bottle of sake?

    Colorado doesn't allow outside alcohol.
