Had dinner at Uchiba tonight, was incredible. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's the more casual partner to Uchi, and definitely has a more laid back but still upscale vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our whole dinner was amazing, the service was great, 0 complaints. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Side note; the glassware at Uchiba is stellar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our rankings of the dishes we got tonight were: 1. Hamachi Tostada 2. Sake Ringo 3. Tuna Handroll 4. Nigiri 5. Sake Maki 6.

Update: After my last experience, the Uchiba team reached out to me. Adam expressed genuine concern about what happened and made it clear that my experience was not representative of the standard they strive to provide. What I appreciated most was that he listened and acknowledged my concerns without trying to explain them away. As a customer, I felt heard and valued. Adam invited me back for the next Ramen Night, and this time I brought friends. We were seated in a booth and ordered the featured ramen, which happened to be a gumbo ramen. It wasn't quite my taste--there was a lot going on flavor-wise--but the service experience was completely different. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant felt much less hectic, and the hospitality really stood out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Eric walked us through the menu, made excellent drink recommendations, and made sure our waters never went empty. We also had the ube dessert, which was unexpectedly delicious. Everyone at the table was scraping the plate clean. A special shoutout to Stephanie at the host stand, who also made sure we were well taken care of throughout the evening. Another noticeable improvement: the kitchen packed our leftovers for us instead of having guests juggle large bowls of broth at the table. Overall, this was the elevated dining experience and level of care I expect from a restaurant of this caliber. I'm looking forward to seeing who the guest chef is and what ramen creation they'll feature next month! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Uchi Dallas is trendy place with high-energy atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service: is very professional and team-oriented, l highly recommend Uchi for plant-based diners The restaurant offering a dedicated vegetarian/vegan choices even vegan omakase & of course tons of options for people who love fresh seafood (like my husband) Only one thing I need to say that the portions are very small especially for the price. They have also great selection of sake that we enjoy fully. read more

I've been coming here for years, and this used to be my absolute favorite happy hour spot when I worked downtown. The food is still good -- that hasn't changed, and I truly appreciate that. However, my most recent visit was disappointing. We received a text just a couple of hours before our reservation saying there was no longer happy hour, even though the website still listed it. If you're planning to go for happy hour, I highly recommend calling to confirm first. I was also surprised to see that about half of the menu has been cut. On top of that, the service didn't feel special like it used to. The warm, welcoming vibe was missing, and I barely saw our server throughout the meal. Because of that, we ended up not ordering any drinks. It honestly made me sad because this place has been one of my favorites for so long. I'm hoping this was just an off night and that they can bring back the experience that made it so special. read more

Uchiba was amazing! We did the happy hour omakase for two for $90 and added a few extra dishes, and everything was so good. It was such a great way to try a variety of sushi and dishes. The service was great until it got busier around 6pm. The atmosphere was fun, and we had such a good experience overall. Definitely worth it and we'll be coming back! read more

We did the tasting menu for 2 as well as some other dishes. We made reservations since we were going on a weekend and wanted to go during their happy hour. We ended up having to leave without our final course because it took so long and they ran out of one of the popular menu items around 5:30pm which surprised me. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The overall experience was good and I liked the ambiance of the inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A bit pricey but I suppose it's all fresh fish coupled with the fact we were in Dallas. read more

Second visit and it absolutely delivered again. Overall, an excellent experience with some real standouts. The oysters and the hamachi crudo were the highlights of the night. Both were beautifully balanced, fresh, and memorable. Easily my favorite bites of the meal. The crispy duck, while flavorful, missed the mark for me. It was a bit difficult to eat and felt overwhelmed by sauce, which distracted from the duck itself. Service was solid throughout. Attentive and friendly without feeling intrusive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]My only real knock on the experience was the seating. There was plenty of open space in the dining room, but we were seated uncomfortably close to another guest, which took away from the otherwise relaxed vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Dessert completely brought it home. The crispy bao with Thai tea semifreddo was incredible and a must-order. Creative, well executed, and a perfect way to end the meal. Still very much a place I'll keep coming back to. Consistently great food with thoughtful flavors, and just a few small tweaks away from being flawless. read more

Stopped in for dinner on a business trip. I was seated at their wine bar. The staff was attentive and friendly. Food came out a little slowly and I think might have been delivered to other diners as the wine bar and the sushi bar apparently have the same table numbers. Everything did arrive eventually and was super tasty! The couple next to me got the main tasting menu and it was $320 that night. I got a couple rolls and a warm snow crab bite. Overall very good! read more

Uchiba Dallas is seriously one of the best spots in town. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe is cool and relaxed but still feels special.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was on point, super friendly and really knew the menu. The food? Absolutely delicious. Everything we tried was packed with flavor and looked as good as it tasted. Their happy hour is a must with great deals on some of their most popular dishes and drinks. Perfect place for a date night or just catching up with friends over some amazing bites and cocktails. Can't wait to go back. Terrific service! Guess I didn't take as many photos as I thought.

UchiBa is a must every single time I'm in Dallas. It's one of those places that never disappoints. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is lively but still relaxed, and the food is consistently fresh and incredibly flavorful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My go-to favorites are the Brussels sprouts and the uni nigiri. Both are always perfectly done and packed with flavor. And whatever you do, don't skip the fried milk dessert. It's unreal and honestly worth flying to Dallas for on its own. UchiBa continues to be a standout every visit and I'll keep coming back whenever I'm in town. read more

Big fan of Uchi but tonight was sushi and Japanese food at Uchiba Dallas. Delicious food and cocktails. Service was a bit slow but still a 4/5. read more

I went for a solo date and chose this place because of the vegan/vegetarian options which were plentiful! They had a separate menu just for those who are vegetarian/vegan which is amazing. I ordered the chef's choice and tofu tom yum. The chefs choice was incredibly yummy, I could have ordered just more of that and I would have loved it. The tofu tom yum was also good but something about the chef's choice just blew me away. Servers were friendly and you can tell they loved working there. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance was really nice and relaxing, they did a wonderful job.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

My husband and I had an absolutely phenomenal time at Uchibã for my birthday dinner. The space is a dimly lit, casual and refined atmosphere, perfect for special occasion or date night. Onto the food, the best part. Our standouts definitely were these nigiri pieces: hirame, hamachi, akamutsu aburi-style. By the way, any of these you can get aburi-style which was definitely a game changer for us. All nigiri pieces were expertly curated with garnishes and seasonings that blended with the fish, something that really tied the food together. We prefer white fish and for our fish to lean on the softer side, cleaner side. The hot food & rolls were also delicious, with our standout being the soft shell crab maki with crispy and fragrant fried crab, although the sauce is a little strong so we didn't use much. The real winner tonight was our dessert, the famous fried milk is warm and milky, perfectly balancing with the dark chocolate and vanilla ice cream. The ube cheesecake was also equally if not more delicious, actually not that strong of a cheesecake taste (perfect for me because I don't care for cheesecake). I adored the blueberry sorbet that came with it - I would order just the sorbet if I could. Lastly, and most definitely not least, we wanted to thank our server Honey for being the sweetest, kindest person we could ask for. She gave us some birthday treats on the house, and was so helpful in giving us recommendations. We will definitely be back! cold dish - kinoko usuzukuri (2) - $18 (HH) 6/10 handroll & nigiri - hamachi handroll (2) - $24 (HH) - akami nigiri (2) - $9 (HH) 7/10 - nama hotate nigiri (2) - $10 (HH) 8/10 - hamachi sashimi - 7/10 ordered - soft shell crab maki (1) - $18.5 - 8.5/10 - duck bao (1) - $11 - 7.5/10 - tiger cry bao (1) - $9 - 7.5/10 - hirame kombujime flounder (2) - $20 - 8.5/10 - itoyori threadfin bream (2) - $20 - 8/10 - isaki three line grunt (2) - 6/10 - akamutsu rosy sea perch aburi (2) - $30 - 9/10 - hirame flounder (2) - $13 - 9/10 - hamachi yellowtail (2) - $14 - 8/10 - sake toro salmon belly aburi (2) - 7/10 dessert - fried milk (1) - $14.5 - 10/10 - ube cheesecake (1) - $12.5 - 10/10 *HH stands for happy hour read more

Ordered: Lychee Martini (~$16): Tito's vodka, Nigori sake, lychee, yuzu Aya's take: As we were waiting for our table at Uchi, we decided to pass time with a drink at Uchibā. If I wasn't really looking forward to trying Uchi, we would've opted to eat here since the menu does overlap a bit and they had seating readily available. I got a Lychee Martini which was semi-sweet, mild in flavor, and easy to drink. Despite it being in the name, the lychee was very subtle and could've been more highlighted either within the drink or even a lychee fruit garnish like many cocktail bars do. It was a good drink to start our evening with and next time I'm in Dallas, I will have to try the food! read more

Uchiba Dallas - Lychee Martini (~$16) - Japanese Near Me - Dallas, Texas

OMG! The experience at Uchiba reset my brain like crazy!! I made a reservation even though it was just me, I ended up sitting at the bar. My bartender was soooo nice, helpful and accommodating. It was my first time here so I was going off her recommendations. She suggested I try the wagyu skewers, let me tell you they were the best skewers I've ever had in my life!! I still dream about them. I had two rounds of them! My second favorite thing was the ice cream, I can't believe I was hesitant to even try it out. I can't wait to go back! My bartender even gave me a gift card for some money off on my next visit and I thought that was so lovely. Overall my experience was impeccable and the ambience was amazing and it wasn't too busy! They also have valet parking! 10/10 no notes!!! read more

Delightful meal from start to finish. Sat at the bar on my own and had the sushi chef pick what I should eat for the evening since there was an overwhelming amount of options.

Went to Uchiba for a birthday celebration. It's right above Uchi, and there's convenient valet parking right in front. Lalo was our waiter and he was great and great at giving recommendations. We started off with drinks: the Lychee Martini and the Sakura Samurai. They also had a separate vegan/vegetarian menu, which was super helpful. We ordered a few items and my favorite was the Inari Maki. The star of the show for me though was their dessert, the Uchiba Fried Milk, with a good flavor profile, from sweet and creamy to decadent chocolate. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is on the smaller side but still perfect for a great dinner with friends or a date night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

A great spot for happy hour sushi! This restaurant is located at a rooftop level, and it's casual yet elegant at the same time. There's outdoor patio and indoor seating, as well as complimentary valet parking shared with uchi (although we had to wait about 20 min to get the car around 7pm given the dinner rush hour). The food was fantastic! My favorite was the Brussel sprouts, which were seasoned so well! Other dishes I enjoyed were the milk dessert, mango tapioca, and salmon and tuna hand rolls. The strawberry sake was an interesting taste and presentation, but not my favorite. Our waiter was very friendly and honest about which dishes he liked the most. He gave us some great recommendations! read more

This place is easily become one of my favorites. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Came for a pretty late dinner, but the place was still super packed![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our waitress was super helpful and friendly and offered great recommendations for our first visit. Started off with a lychee martini and then tried the subarashi. Both were great and very well balanced. We ended up ordering a bunch of nigiri and hot items but the highlights for me were the yellowtail, gyutoro dumplings, and wagyu beef skewers. The portions were OK but I can see if you're super hungry having to order a bunch. Will definitely be back soon. read more

The only thing I don't like about Uchiba is how torn I am choosing whether I want to eat here or downstairs at Uchi! You guys make it so hard to pick. Love, love, love this place! Great, intimate atmosphere and awesome food and drinks choices. I fell in love with the champagne oysters, and any appetizer you pick is a winner. The service is great, but this place can get really busy, so plan accordingly. See you soon! read more

The perfect spot for happy hour or date night! Ambiance & Service: We visited late Monday with no wait. The vibe was moody and trendy, and the service was fast and friendly. Food: - Hot Cauliflower Bun: Delicious, spicy, and saucy. 10/10 recommend! - Spicy Crunchy Veggie Roll: My favorite! The aioli sauce is amazing. - Inari Maki: Very tasty! - Fried Milk: Incredible dessert--a fried donut filled with vanilla custard. Can't be missed! TL;DR: Trendy spot with quick service. Must-try dishes: Hot Cauliflower Bun and Fried Milk dessert! read more

Warning to vegetarians: I've been vegetarian for over six years--no exceptions, for ethical reasons. My friends and I chose this restaurant specifically because it advertises a separate vegetarian menu. I was given that menu, ordered directly from it while pointing to the items, and was seated right next to the waitress. I ordered two rolls. My rolls took significantly longer than my friends' rolls so I was starving and devoured the first. When the second came, I took one bite and immediately realized it had shrimp in it. Long story long-ish, both of my rolls were entered in from the regular menu. The vegetarian rolls and non-veggie rolls have the same names. To be frank, you have to be pretty stupid to not see the issue. This isn't a minor mistake. This is a fundamental failure in menu design, staff training, and basic respect for dietary restrictions. Vegetarians don't just "pick meat off." Some of us take this seriously, and this restaurant clearly does not. If you're vegetarian--or have any dietary restriction whatsoever--do not trust this place. They cannot keep their own menus straight, and they absolutely cannot be trusted with what they serve you. I left hungry, upset, and completely disgusted. read more

FOOD IG: @northtx.gemz **** WHAT THEY'RE KNOWN FOR: fancy sushi served in a casual atmosphere. Cute and vibey! Uchi and Uchiba have the same location just fyi. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Uchi is downstairs and uchiba is upstairs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] THE VIBE: [[HIGHLIGHT]]Uchi is the fancy one, UCHIBA is the "bar style one" and the Uchiko in Plano is similar to original Uchi but different "charred" flavors.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] (Yes I just looked it up bc it was confusing to me too) PRICE: I don't remember kinda pricy but we went for happy hour! WOULD I COME BACK? Yes! I can't wait. ***** Overall Rating: 9/10 - I only have good things to say about @uchibarestaurants ! I absolutely loved my experience and the foods were so unique and culinary curated. - Highly recommend ordering everything, there was nothing I didn't like. - The fish was light and absolutely fresh. The flavors tied together effortlessly. - Highly recommend a recommendation if you wanna get into Uchi but Uchiba had seating when they opened, but they get busy quick! read more

This is my and my husband's favorite restaurant. Every single bite is thoughtfully prepared and nearly brings me to tears every time (is that dramatic? Yes. True? Also yes). The service is also exceptional. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is warm and inviting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We have yet to be disappointed when coming here. Also very accommodating to my gluten allergy. Our favorite dishes are as follows: For nigiri: Scallop Sake Sea bream And 72-hour short rib Maki: Zero sen Sides: Brussels sprouts Meat: Chicken skewers read more

Ok this place totally lives up to the hype! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place has a vibe!

Everything was just okay. The small plates and specialty drinks had decent flavor, but the restaurant's internal efficiency and customer service left some room for improvement during the busy evening rush.

We have been at both Uchi and Uchiko in Austin, TX a number of times. So, we took the family here for a celebration in Dallas. The food is sublime... We ordered multiple dishes - hot rock, karaage, yakitori skewers (chicken thigh, shrimp, tsukune meatballs), chicken bun and a number of fish dishes - madai crudo, hama chili, tuna maki, cruct crunchy maki and a number of selection from their sashimi section. Each dish is prepared to perfection. The only item that the fam thought was a bit less than stellar is the meatballs. The wait staff is superb. The lady and gentleman waited on us constantly filling water, drinks as well as explaining each of the dishes as well as tips on how to enjoy them. Just another superb experience @ a Tyson Cole facility in another city. read more

Why Uchi when you can Uchiba? Snagged an Uchiba resy a couple days prior to Friday night. When we arrived, the restaurant was thriving and had a swanky and intimate feel to it. Our server recommended that we order a couple items from each section for a variety of tastings. We did just that. Our items were brought out to us in a coursed manner and everything tasted really good. We had crudo, nigiri, scallops, and of course couldn't leave without getting the fried milk dessert. All the items were melt in your mouth delicious. The service was mediocre since our server was, at times, MIA but seemed like he had a lot on his plate. Our bill was upwards of $250 for the four of us (with no cocktails), and were still hungry when leaving. Nothing a quick taco stop couldn't fix post Uchiba. read more

Love coming to Uchiba when I'm in Dallas. Great happy hour spot with lots of affordable yakitori items and sushi. To be honest I'm mainly here for the drinks lol. $10 for the heavy in a barrel aged whiskey? hell yeah! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Love the rooftop level because it's upscale yet a nice casual after work place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The meat skewers are $5-8! We got the pork belly, Tsukune, and wagyu. all really delicious but we had to order extra Tsukune because it was really good. We also tried the mini burger and katsu bun. the katsu bun has a really nice pickled cabbage flavor that complimented the fried katsu. The sake handroll was good too but nothing outstanding. The plantain chips are simple but soooo yum with a kick of spice. I thought the pork dumpling skins were too thick but the flavor was good. For dessert we got the fried milk (I can eat 3 plates of this!) and ube tarte. Our server was very attentive and gave us a $25 discount for a return visit. read more

Perfect place for happy hour. They have daily happy hour including drinks and small plates. Our favorite was the pork belly bao bun.

I've been going to Uchiba for years and regularly recommend it for upscale Asian tapas and great service. I didn't have the best experience with the omakase, but I truly appreciated how it was handled -- the manager listened and responded proactively to my feedback. On my most recent visit, Airielle provided amazing service. I've had many great experiences here, and the one time I didn't, it was addressed professionally -- which says a lot. Uchiba continues to be a place I recommend for an elevated, shareable dining experience. read more

Great place to get a pre dinner bite and drinks for happy hour. Def wouldn't come here for an actual meal. The shiso tinis were strong and yummy, but the leaf garnish had brown spots on it. I would also say, at least on the night we came, the tuna was wayyy better than the salmon. This is coming from a girl who will always choose salmon over tuna any day. But the one thing that we got and actually ordered a second round and that you must try is the PORK BELL SKEWERRS! They're so good!! Not pictured is the negihama hand roll, which was actually kinda gross. Not too sure what aspect of it that I didn't like, but would not recommend that. We were also recommended the pork jowl. Those were okay, I'd prob skip it for next time. Our server was great! Each plate just took awhile to get to the table. The decor was cute and I highly recommend going during happy hour!! read more

genuinely such a great experience, and the price for the value of what we received was more than fair! I believe our server's name was Ray? A very professional, knowledgeable server with short hair and amazing jewelry, she was super kind, attentive, and coursed everything out to make the flow of the meal perfect. The food runners also didn't mind explaining every dish to us and getting us everything we needed. It was my birthday and they made it very special, the ambience is amazing, they're open pretty late, and the food came out quickly. Every single item was a hit, literally the only grievance was that the pulled pork dumpling got a little dry in the middle, but that's just looking for anything to critique because everything was so perfect. The ube cheesecake was insane. The drinks were great too, the lychee martini had a beautiful Yuzu citrus taste, and the espresso martini was very crisp and clean. read more

If I'm being honest, I used to prefer dining at Uchi than Uchiba. Now, I love them equally. I love the vibe/ambiance at Uchiba. Their patio and bar feels more relaxed and it doesn't feel as formal as Uchi. I love sitting at the bar and being taken care of by the great bartenders: Hunter, Francis & our old fav Rick (who's no longer at this location!) Hunter is your go-to person for good drinks. His drinks are magical and dangerous, I could drink 4 of his blueberry pie cocktail and still want more. And i always say to anyone who I have convinced to try the drink: it tastes JUST like a blueberry pie! I love that he explores different flavor profiles and really get creative with his drinks. His pandan cocktail is a hit too. While they don't offer as many raw piece options as downstairs, a lot of their hot items are sooo tasty! If it were up to me, I'd eat 3 orders of the kinoko dumpling by myself. Kind of punching the air right now because I completely forgot to order the crispy tofu even tho I get it every. single. time. and I won't get to eat it again for awhile. Their yakitori has the right amount of smokiness and every single bite makes you wanting more. Definitely go to Uchiba if you want more cooked food options and for great drinks. Thank you Uchiba team for always showing us a great time! read more

Snow Crab Maki, Pork Dumplings, Karaage, Crispy Tofu, Hamachi, Foie Gras, Sake Toro, Fried Milk I can't remember everything we ordered, but each dish was fantastic!!! Uchiba is the cute more casual area above Uchi, with the same menu, but they focus a little more on the hot menu items. The flavors of every dish were amazing, the fish incredibly fresh, presentation amazing. Service was great and efficient. I would never have thought to order fried milk, but my friends had tried it before, and it was kind of awesome!!

Second time here and I still feel the same about it. Service and food are not top notch as Uchi however, this isn't to say they're bad. Servers are still attentive and sweet. Food is good and filling. Uchiba has more cooked items if that's your vibe. Someone different will bring out your food and explain exactly what you're eating. Our courses were paced a little slower so there was an awkward wait time in between dishes. I can't remember our server's name but he was great! Checked up on us frequently and was attentive when I asked about our dishes. He missed one item but fixed it and got it out for us right away. Not sure what it was but the pork dishes were all on the dry side. It seems like they overcooked it. The namahotate nigiris were also more fishy tasting? I was expecting it to be like downstairs cause I'm assuming they get it from the same sources right? Highlight of the dinner for my boyfriend and I were the Tsukune Meatball and the Jasmine Cream dessert. The meatball was just so flavorful and tender!! We could've eaten like 4 of those. That Jasmine Cream dessert was recommended by our server since it was about to be taken off menu. Best decision ever! It was perfectly sweet and subtly floral. They also had the best combination of textures with some crunchy bottom. I would 100/10 get that again if it comes back. read more

Great atmosphere. Great food. Great server/service. The servings are small, but very tasty. We started with the Yuca Chips as we were hungry and thought those would come out quick, which they did. If you have questions about the food, ask your waitperson. They can help and seem to know the food very well. The person that brings out your food selections will also remind you of what you are getting and what is included in the dish. We went for happy hour to celebrate a birthday and tried a variety of dishes - all very unique. read more
