As a sushi fanatic, I decided to finally come to Uchi after hearing about all the hype. Unfortunately, was not extremely pleased with our experience. We came on a weekday non-peak hour so were seated instantly. However, each dish took extremely long to come out, and would each come 15-20 minutes apart. This left me and my partner eating one dish within a couple of minutes, waiting much longer than expect, and then restarting that cycle with another dish. In terms of the food itself, I'd say it's good but not amazing. I've been to many, many sushi places in the Houston area, and Uchi's sushi is maybe a tad bit better in quality. It's not noticeably different though, especially for the huge difference in pricepoint. Our favorite dishes were the sake ringo and fried milk. I've never had a roll quite like sake ringo, and I loved the pairing of the salmon with the sweet apple. The fried milk was also a delicacy with the dough melting in your mouth and a chaser of cold, creamy ice cream. Service was good. Nothing to complain or rave about. Will we be back? Probably not on our own terms. However, I do recommend trying Uchi at least once in your life. read more

So to begin, this is the best premier sushi experience I've ever had. I am a common visitor to Uchi Austin and it does not compare to the quality and overall experience that Uchi Houston has to offer. Our server, Aisha was the sweetest, most attentive, and professional server I've had in a very long time (maybe even ever). She made our experience unforgettable and I can't wait to return and see her again. She was very knowledgeable of wine selections and the food she is selling as well. Super kind sushi bar staff as well. The building itself seemed to be a Texas Landmark which was very cool and in general, the building and the overall ambience in the establishment couldn't be any better. Absolutely Devine experience for date night! read more

Waitress who took drink order nice but not attentive, didn't clean up used plates or used wine glasses, sushi bar cook (santos)was standing w arms crossed , frowned face and annoyed we had questions about menu.

My favorite sushi in Houston. Everything on the menu is so good every single time. I've been here like 40+ times and it has never disappointed. I normally sit at the bar and have so much fun. Service is always the best and this place truly has the best ambiance. Dim & classy vibes. read more

What a yummy meal on my first ever visit to Uchi! I have been meaning to check this place out for a while, and was happy to try it out after receiving a gift certificate from my friends. My sister and I stopped by for dinner. We made a reservation online and upon reaching the restaurant, checked in and waited outside until a table was ready. About 15 minutes later, we were led to our booth. The servers were gracious and did a great job explaining the menu, as well as each order as they brought it out. We opted for the zero sen, gyumaki, sake ringo, and foie gras. My absolute favorite was the sake ringo. We were thrown off by how amazingly the apple paired with the Thai Basil aioli. The whole dish was a wonderful mix of flavors. The zero sen was also fantastic. I loved the combination of tastes and the side dressing was also excellent. Next, it was my first time trying foie gras and overall, it was a good experience. It was elegantly presented and nice to sample for the first time. I'm not sure I would order it again, but not due to anything on Uchi's part, more so because of the dish itself. The gyumaki was good, but not on the same level as the other dishes. While the side dressing was lovely, I wasn't as much a fan of the cilantro-short rib combo. I enjoyed getting to check out both the patio area and the restaurant interior. The restaurant has several booths as well as tables for slightly larger groups. The bar is also a nice spot for smaller parties. I can understand the hype for Uchi after trying their delicious flavor pairings. I would consider coming back here, but likely only for a special occasion. read more

My fiancé and I came here to celebrate our recent engagement and we were blown away by just about everything! The service, the ambiance, the food. We had a fantastic time and decided that this is our new celebration spot. As vegetarians, we were delighted to find an entire menu dedicated exclusively for this type of diet. We've found it incredibly difficult to locate high-end restaurants for celebrations that have more than one vegetarian option, making this a solid choice for us moving forward. We enjoyed Hana (cauliflower tempura), the Shag roll, grilled edamame, vegetable nabe, another type of tempura (maybe zucchini?) and fried milk for dessert. We were beyond full after sharing each of these dishes and we were amazed at the delicious flavors that each one had. We're looking forward to the next occasion to celebrate because we enjoyed everything so much. The service was phenomenal - our server was very knowledgeable about everything on the menu and was very helpful with answering our questions. The manager stopped by and he was such such a delight to chat with. Seriously, everything was so amazing!! Tip: make your reservation in ADVANCE - we booked our table roughly 3 weeks out and had limited options for reservation slots. We dined at 5:45pm because it was either that or 8:30pm. Also, they offer a free valet service but expect to wait for a bit for your vehicle if you're there on the weekend, especially if it's Saturday night. read more

Uchi Houston - Sushi Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

Uchi is always very consistent and provides a wonderful dining experience with high quality sushi and unique dishes. Service is always excellent and they are busy every day of the week. Some must try items are the hama chili, kinoko nabe, and fried milk dessert. The hama chili is one of their flagships and is constantly recreated at other restaurants in the area. The kinoko nabe is a wonderful umami bomb with an assortment of mushrooms and crispy rice. Their fried milk is one of the best desserts I've ever had, a wonderful mix of different flavors, textures, and a perfect end to a great meal. Highly recommend if you're looking to celebrate or just have a nice night out. read more

I enjoyed my meal so much that I forgot to take pictures! TIP: Come for happy hour as many of the items that are in their regular menu are significantly reduced. I would recommend ordering their entire selection of nigiri on the happy hour menu and selecting a few items from the rest. Our server Zack was personable and attentive. The other staff who helped were all kind and thoughtful. If needed, they will provide recommendations on how to best enjoy the food and suggestions on what to order based on your needs and interest. The restaurant itself is fairly dark but I didn't mind as it felt like a bit of an escape from the hot, sunny, and humid weather. This place is a cannot miss if you're interested in flavorful and delicious sushi. read more

It has been awhile since I been back to Uchi. Came to celebrate a birthday and during happy hour which is from 4-6pm and made reservations ahead of time. They have a Omakase for 8 pieces for 75 bucks. It is a little pricy for the worth. That is the only downside. But quality was good. Wish it wasn't as much hot dishes, but more cold dishes or nigiris. My favorite pieces off happy hour was the fois gras nigiri, melt in your mouth! The dishes came out fairly quickly. They had a ton of people working in the kitchen as the floor was looking quite busy on a Thursday night. Megan, our waiter was fantastic! She took care of us and recognized the birthday boy. And also thank you to Jessica for the awesome birthday rice paper with waygu dish. That was a pleasant surprise and really tasty/unique. Parking - complimentary valet parking next to marmo read more

(Homer Simpson drool) Just... I mean... Words can't allow me to describe the experience we had at Uchi. This place is PHENOMENAL!!! First of all, the ambience is high end and definitely on the glamorous, more luxurious side for fine dining. They have a host that greets you as soon as you walk in and asks about your reservation details and valet parking validation (more on that in a bit). Since our dining area wasn't quite ready yet, we had the choice of 3 different waiting areas, the bar, a standing room or outside. We chose outside. You are allowed to order drinks while you wait to be seated for dinner. My wife ordered the Otokyama drink. It comes in a glass that's also in a box. The drink is intentionally overflown into the box and you're supposed to drink the overflow from the box. My wife LOVED IT! We were asked to be seated for dinner in about 7 minutes (we were early for our reservation so it was basically right on time). We were seated at the sushi bar directly in front of the chef who was going to be serving us for the evening. I BELIEVE his name was Kevin. Kevin was so laid back and cool, he made you feel like he was just a good friend making you dinner. Unfortunately, I can't remember the name of the dishes we had but when I tell you this place puts Nobu to shame, JESUS CHRIST. The fresh, delectable, precision, quality ingredients, are just not fair. We did the Chef's tasting which allowed us to taste a variety of different rolls, tempura, etc. It was a 12 course meal. It was so damn GOOD! There was a crab and butter roll, holy moly. Freaking unbelievable! The flavors dance around in your mouth. It's an experience you will never forget. He gave us a few rolls that were on the house and we also had dessert. I could go on and on about this place but you will just have to see for yourself. It's my overall favorite restaurant in Houston now. I guarantee you won't be disappointed. A few tips: - This menu is pricey but worth every penny. Kevin and our server were nice enough to both give me a $25 gift card to use on our next visit which was nice. But this is probably best suited as a special occasion restaurant (it was our anniversary) unless you're just a baller like that. Hehe. - Valet is pretty easy but you will want to catch valet on the side street next to the restaurant instead of Westheimer. They use your phone number to help with the validation process. Valet was complimentary but obviously still tip accordingly. - There isn't a HARD dress code but it's supposed to be, "business smart" attire. I wore a button down, and white cloth shorts with casual shoes and my wife wore a dress with heels. That seemed to be on par with most dressed there. Uchi for the win!!! read more

As amazing as the food was, it truly is the service tonight that compelled me to come write this review. TL;DR amazing food, incredible staff, will come back just for Aisha My fiance and I both love sushi and have eaten our way through a number of the joints in town but somehow we hadn't made it to Uchi in the last couple of years. Nearly every item we had was incredibly delicious, some of the best we've had, but several pieces of nigiri were particular standouts. We opted to give our server, Aisha, a budget, some of our preferences and let her steer the wheel on our dinner. I can't recommend this highly enough and doubt we would have been able to put together the menu that she did for us. Last but not least, the service was warm, personal, and never intrusive. Plates appeared and disappeared seamlessly, and several of the waitstaff wished us a happy anniversary. We will absolutely be back! read more

I really enjoyed the tasting dishes. The creative, and beautifully balanced blend of flavors + textures perfectly complemented each unique fish. I appreciate that Uchi presents a well executed and innovative take. Every dish, nigiri and sashimi was memorable. No soy sauce or wasabi in sight aside from what has already been placed atop the fish. Sitting at the sushi bar, the chef attentively answered my questions, shared suggestions and walked me through the best way to enjoy each order. Uchi is quite the scene. On a Thursday night it was abuzz with lively cheerful conversation. Keep up the great work! I Will visit again in the future. read more

I'm sadden to write this review. I've seen rave reviews about this place. Decided to try something new for special birthday dinner and was so disappointed. Should have stuck with my go to place Ume! Much much better. Let's start with the bad. Service started off very slow. No drinks for a while. Then most memorable issue was the wagyu. We all know the price of wagyu is high and with that price is normally the best tasting meat you've ever had. Not the case here. It was seared so much it was burnt. Taste of actual unappealing char. When mentioned to the waiter, he just shrugged and nothing was done about it. Many other nigiri I ate was just plain ole nigiri. Nothing special about it. The best thing I ate was the hama chili. Over $500 later I was so dissatisfied with this meal. No free dessert for my bday. Parking is also a huge hassle. We waited in a line outside for about 30mins to get our car out of valet because it is shared with 5 other restaurants in this street corner. If we could get it claimed by valet earlier that would have been great. There is WAY better sushi in Houston, especially for the price. Would not recommend. read more

Such a good spot for a romantic date night or for celebrations. I recommend getting a reservation in advance! The few times I've been here it's been relatively busy. I wish I had taken more photos of the food when we came here! Just there for a good time and good company that I forgot about it. Nigiri/sashimi is pretty pricey here but for the quality I would say it's worth it. It's always fresh and I don't think we've had anything bad here. The hamachi chili is one of our faves. Their deep fried milk dessert is really good too! One of my favorites here for sure. Service was also good & our servers always explained in depth what each item is and was very informative. We usually go here when we're feeling a fancier date night. read more

The fried milk dessert at Uchi is a masterpiece. It's crispy, creamy, and perfectly balanced with the ice cream to top it off. The warm banana cake is equally divine with its moist texture and comforting flavors that feel like a warm hug in every bite. I couldn't decide so had to try both. If I had to try between the two, I'd go with the fried milk, however, both are divine! read more

Houston is my sweetheart's hometown, and Uchi is one of her favorite restaurants. I now know why. It's one of the best sushi experiences I can remember. Made a reservation for date night, got a great table, and ordered omakase. It's definitely on the expensive side, but I believe omakase is the only way to dine here at Uchi. EVERYTHING was amazing. It's been two weeks since I've been, and I'm still thinking about Uchi. Every bite of sushi was unbelievable. For some of the sushi, the wait staff instructed us to put the fish side down first on your tongue. The flavors with the fish was out of this world. The wagyu and beef courses were so memorable too. For me personally, the foie gras really stood out. Along with the food, the service was also amazing. There's an army of staff, who are all on point and do their jobs so well. All of this delicious food was delivered with perfect timing and instructions. Our main waiter was fully attentive, made us so comfortable. As I mentioned, Uchi is a spectacular but expensive place. Omakase for two, along with cocktails and wine ended up being almost $600 with tax and tip. I think it was worth it. If you want truly exceptional sushi and are able to be OK with the price, I think you should visit right away. read more

Uchi, you have my heart. Every so often I revisit for HH, the updated menu selection never failed to impress me. Sitting at the sushi bar and interact with the chef is always a pleasure. The HH nigiri offered were bluenose, fatty salmon, glazed tuna, and chopped scallop. Kanpachi Crudo, Shima Aji Crudo, and Maguro Nashi were so refreshing and they were so distinctive from one another. Finishing the meal with one of my favorite soft shell crab maki, beautifully charred Nasu nigiri and Yuzu Avocado nigiri to prep the palate for Uchi's delicious Yuzu Lime Pie. Jamie was exceptional with all the recommendation and made our Saturday afternoon so delightful. read more

All I have to say is that if delivery food was good, I can't even imagine what it is in person!!!! I ordered uber eats and tried a couple of things off the menu. Stuck with my usual edamame order at japanese restaurants, but this was no ordinary edamame. It was grilled, and the flavor mixed into it was citrus and salty to perfection! I tried the avocado and akami Nigiri, and both were so melt in your mouth delicious. They each brought such pleasurable distinct tastes to my palate. But the highlight of my in home rained out bday dinner was the Sake Ringo. I didn't know what to expect when I ordered it, but let me tell you there were so many layers to the flavor that the more you get through the roll, the better it gets! I plan on going in person soon and trying many other things, especially the desserts that were not on the delivery menu. read more

This was one of the most involved and enjoyable experiences I've had when it comes to sushi. Our waiter, John, was super knowledgeable and very helpful in navigating how to get the most out of our visit. We tried ~8-9 plates and 3 drinks. Overall, everything was super delicious, beautiful presentation, and honestly - the vegan nigiri (tomato) was our absolute favorite. I would definitely recommend being adventurous if you chose to come here. The ambiance was dimly lit with really great background music. I really enjoyed it, it would be really nice for a dinner date or even just bringing some friends for a cool experience. I'd love to try to Omakase next but this is a new favorite! 10/10 - highly recommend read more

Good service. Creative. Quality is good. Prices are in la-la land for some of their items. For example the Toko (maybe four pieces, each about 0.8 cm slices of Octopus that came with carrot sauce) for $26. It was well prepared, however, ridiculous price. It would be like paying $500 for a good $100 bottle of wine. read more

Uchi 5/5 We went to Uchi for our first wedding anniversary dinner celebrations and it was great! I've heard good things about Uchi before and they had a whole vegetarian menu which made me happy. The parking is definitely better and easier to do Valet. We made a reservation and added our anniversary to the reservation. When we walked in we were greeted well and walked to our table. We noticed we were both over dressed which was fine but coming in a suit and cocktail dress seemed too much. There were people in jeans and sweater shirts. Our waiter was great- friendly and helpful. He gave us really a bunch of recommendations and we kind of just ordered all His recommendations. They confirmed we were vegetarian and added if eggs are ok. My Husband eats eggs I don't. We were quick to order. We got the following- Uchi Salad- it had nuts, a more tangy flavor, the flavors went so well together Veggie sushi roll- when it arrived the server let us know this one had eggs in the sauce. Edamame- the edamame was seasoned very well and cooked on charcoal so it had more of a charred flavor but delicious! Lychee drink- so delicious, I love lychee so I knew I would love this drink Nasu (eggplant one) - this one was on the hot, I should of known that I wouldn't like it because I don't really like eggplant Bok Choy Salad- with cashew butter LOVED, when served they explained it should be mixed into the salad to make it creamy. At the very end our waiter brought us complimentary - his favorite vegetarian sushi and a tiny sorbet dessert. Each person who served us explained the dish well- the ingredients and how it was made. Overall I was pleasantly surprised, as someone who doesn't really like vegetarian sushi or sushi in general I wasn't sure if I'd like this place but they had a lot of other options as well. The service is amazing! And staff is great! Highly recommend if someone likes sushi. read more

Amazing Service to say the least. I came here for only 2 rolls and almost tried the whole menu. The soft shell roll is delicious, quality is crystal clear with their sushi. We tried the Nadai Nigiri , it was lovely , with a bit of citrus zest . Their take on the shaggy roll is not what i had in mind but it was absolutely refreshing and a bit hearty with that fresh shrimp tempura , a thai version i think they mentioned. We also tried the koraage chicken which was tossed in fish caramel i believe they had mentioned. Crispy and delicious. We also tried a salmon roll can't remember exactly but yes everything pretty much is amazing here. Their seasonal desert was a lovely cherry on top to this special occasion. I CANT FORGET ----Our amazing server Mr.Boothe!!!! This man here is kind and was very considerate of first time experience at this restaurant , definitely will return here at some point in the future. Thank you for yet another unforgettable sushi experience. -Santangelo Balli Gonzales read more

The best sushi joint in town. Bias review since I haven't dined at much of any sushi spots. But wow. They get their fish shipments from Tokyo fish market every day! Wahh. Our waitor was "Daddy" but on the bill it said John. This guy definitely made our experience here elevated. We pretty much ordered the entire menu. Everything was so good. I don't even know what I was eating. I just kept eating nonstop. We just kept ordering because we were mind blown by the freshness. We ate here pretty late like 9pm? Dinner and it was still packed! People were still getting seated around 10pm. If you need to impress a chick with sushi as a date, this is the place to show that you know about good food. Hopefully you'll get lucky with our waitor. read more

An elegant and upscale sushi place that has fusion twists to it. We booked reservations for happy hour which is 4-6pm every day, and we were seated in a nicely set up room with a 4-top table even though we were a party of 2. We tried the following: Kara kyuri - quite rare to see a sake cocktail but this was executed well. The cucumber makes it very cool while the Thai chili made this drink have a nice spicy kick. Kurodai (black bream) - a smaller nigiri than I expected compared to a lot of the omakase places, but the fish is fresh and flavorful, with some grated yuzu on top. Sake karashi - my favorite of what we ordered. The salmon is very fresh, and it is combined with a bunch of other ingredients such as cucumber, daikon, fish roe, crispy onions. Negi hama futomaki - yellowtail. The tamari within makes this a very nontraditional roll but it was still pretty good. Bluefin maki - also quite nontraditional due to all the other ingredients within the roll. But the bluefin tuna is very fresh and the avocado sauce on the side enhances this dish quite a bit. Walu walu - seems like this is their most popular dish but this was alright. The escolar was slightly overcooked, but I liked the yuzu citrus sauce that comes with it. Wagyu kushiyaki - the beef itself was not too tender, but in between, they have the fattier pieces that were quite melt in your mouth. Pork belly - this was also okay. It was not as tender as I have hoped. It was interesting to have pineapple on the dish, though. Service is amazing - they take away the plates you finished almost instantaneously afterward, keeping the table as uncluttered as possible. Happy hour prices look relatively inexpensive but the small portions do add up the cost quickly. But regardless, you are paying a fraction of the price compared to the regular menu. Overall, I would only recommend for the happy hour, but they do have a fine selection of other dishes in the regular menu. if you wish to splurge on a meal. read more

Some of the best Sushi in Houston. I have to go 5 stars, the only negatives that I have about Uchi is the price, no liquor, "beer and wine only", and the how all the happy hour dishes have a non-traditional twist to them. That being said, if you are looking for upscale sushi you already know that you are going to be dropping $$$$ and will still need to go get, "full" at another restaurant after. The service was topnotch, everyone was friendly and explained the dishes when they were served. I highly suggest going for happy hour. They have great menu items and drinks on special. We sampled several of the items on the HH menu and I was impressed by the taste and quality of all of them. Must try: Bluefin Akami melts in your mouth and makes you understand why you wanted to go out in the first place. Oyster Gunkan: Great taste and texture. If you wanted a cooked item or love Oyster give this a try. Pork Belly: very good. Try this if you like bacon, however the pineapple may turn some people off. Wagyu Kushiyaki: small steak skewer. Nicely cooked with great flavor.....just wish they were bigger. Spicy Crunchy Tuna: A "crunchy" roll. light on the crunch heavy on the quality and taste. Dipping sauce was very good for this roll. Spicy Sake Maki: Another great roll to try. Everything that I tasted was above average to great. In the end the price is the only inhibiting factor. But if you love sushi or have a date you want to impress I save give Uchi a try. Would recommend and return. read more

The ambiance and serving style at Uchi is very unique and adds to the dining experience. Each dish is brought one at a time for you to enjoy and adds a sense of excitement for what's to come next. Our waitress was attentive and helpful in explaining the menu and our options (tasting menu, chefs menu, or personal entrees). We chose to go with ordering our own entrees, since we have certain food limitations. Crunchy Tuna - 10/10 This roll looks simple but it was very good. The crunch on the exterior was unique and added to the roll. Zero Sen - 9/10 Very refreshing and light roll. Shag - 9.5/10 This one quite literally melts in your mouth, I highly recommend it if you enjoy cooked rolls. Fried Milk - 10/10 A must try off the desert menu! The combination of warm fried dough with gelato and dark chocolate was phenomenal. All in all, Uchi is a one of a kind experience and I would highly recommend it to any sushi lover, and to people celebrating special occasions. read more

4.5 is exactly how I would rate Uchi. Food: 5/5 SO GOOD. Fish is EXTREMELY fresh, food came as if it was right out of the kitchen, nothing was under or overdone. Many of their dishes also have a unique flavor/spin, especially the hot and cold tastings. My favorite was the Hama Chili. Ambience: Very nice. Well-lit and has the "date" or "semi-formal get-together" vibe. Service: Workers very knowledgeable on the menu. Sometimes the service is on the slower end (waited over 15 minutes for some fried cauliflower and karaage one time) but they are attentive. I also do like how the workers explain what they are giving you when it's served. Parking: Complimentary valet parking and street parking is also available. Reservations highly recommended because it does get busy, especially on weekends. Go to Uchi at some point if you are ever in Houston, it is worth it. read more
