    Everything was great from start to finish! All the fish was fresh and had great, different flavors. The hot stone wagyu was also tender and melts in your mouth. One of my favorite dessert in all of Austin is the fried milk. I'd go to Uchiko and its sister restaurants just for this dessert. Drinks were great also!

    Absolutely love Uchiko! My boyfriend and I first visited Uchiba earlier this year, and this time, decided to use a Resy credit at Uchiko and partake in their omakase special. After a discussion with the waitress upon being seated, we were able to clarify a request for my omakase to be vegetarian. My bf was able to partake in a little bit more food, but I was solely satisfied with the dishes I got, even when I shared it with my bf. The meat dishes that my bf got that I couldn't have were: - Beef slices with fat-cooked fries (I don't see why the fries had to be cooked in fat, but oh well) - some individual fish-based sushi pieces - poke crackers - shrimp skewers The veggie dishes I got to have included: - mushroom vegetable rolls with a sweet sticky sauce - sticky rice donburi style dish topped with greens and mushrooms soaked in soy sauce - avocado nigiri pieces - veggie roll with mango sauce - thinly-sliced mushroom - tempura kabocha squash - cold black sesame soba noodles Dessert was a delicious ice cream sandwich and a unique dessert that had a graham-cracker-like crust, cream, and topped with cilantro-flavored crushed ice and pineapple topping. We came at happy hour (4-6pm) and omakase was only $60 per person. And with the Resy credit, we got $100 off---an absolute gem of a deal! Our waitress was super friendly and really helpful in making sure I had delicious vegetarian options. Can't wait to come back!

    It's been so long since I've returned to this place, and honestly it's still a gem. They have a happy hour from 4:30-6. We booked a reservation the day before and chose the happy hour omakase. It's about 9 courses. Everything came out fairly quick. The omakase is for 2 people but we're able to accommodate for 3. For whatever reason the first and last dish were different, I guess due to the portion. Everything was enjoyable but I honestly wasn't a fan of their steak. It has a charcoal rub all over which makes it taste burnt to me. Everything else was great. I do think you might be able to get more à la carte than the omakase though, but it's nice not to have to think about what to pick.

    I made reservations at Uchiko to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. When we were led to our seats at the sushi bar, we were pleasantly surprised with a "Happy Birthday" sign waiting at our seats. My boyfriend was really touched, and we felt it was a very thoughtful gesture from the staff. We arrived just in time for the happy hour omakase. Feeling adventurous, we chose the nine-course tasting menu for two. Our chef was very accommodating and asked if we had any allergies or time constraints. The pacing of the dishes was perfect and never felt rushed. We even ordered a few extra dishes and drinks on the side to enjoy between courses, and everything we tried was delicious. In total, we dined for about 1.5 hours. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience at Uchiko. The atmosphere was lively and inviting, and the service was fantastic from start to finish. The staff was extremely attentive and checked in on us frequently. Special shoutout to Max! He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and helped make the entire experience outstanding.

    Came here just for the dessert after an all you can eat experience next door at sushi warriors and this dessert never disappoints! I still standby the fact that the milk and cereal is the best dessert in Austin.

    Solid Omakase. They say it's a 10 course on the menu but every time we go I feel like we always get more courses than they claim.

    Amazing ambiance and high quality fish. Great omakase experience My favorite were - bluefin otoro - uni (Hokkaido uni, very fresh and no fishiness or over saltiness at all) - the milk and cereal dessert Stuff that I would not order again: (not special enough in my opinion) - the hot stone - the clay pot with mushrooms

    Made reservations for a Saturday for happy hour. Got a seat pretty quickly in the dining room. The restaurant itself is dim but enough light to see what is going on. The waiter was amazing and nice. Making use of our time, we got our food and even threw in some extra due to some mistakes and delays. The gyudon was on the small side and not worth the 14 dollars, so don't get it. It was also very salty. The ham and egg was great but kind of dry. The sushi was fresh and delicious. A little mix-up with what the market fish was, so the waiter comped 2 pieces. Milk and cereal was a good way to end the meal. Fried milk and the ice cream. Hot and cold, and the crunch of the cereal makes a good pairing.

    This was the first time my friends and I dined at Uchiko. To say it was a great experience would be an understatement. Every dish and roll is prepared to perfection. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and you can tell they love the food they are serving. If you are wanting a cool and sexy atmosphere. Definitely take a stop and indulge your senses. I wish I took more photos, but these are the ones I remembered to take. We ate so much food.

    Beyond wonderful experience at Uchiko! The valet was super convenient. Highly recommend making a reservation beforehand because it does get packed even on weekdays. We enjoyed the tasting menu which is designed to be shared with another person. We also added some items and were very filling. The cocktails and sake were also incredible. We had a large group of 10 and the service was perfect.

    My favorite sushi place, my favorite place in the whole world!! everything on their menu is 10/10. I wish I could give them more stars because they deserve it! Staff is always welcoming, and nice from hostess to servers Clean place. This place is perfect!!

    Ask the Community - Uchiko Austin

    How much is the omakase?

    It varies based on what they select for you. $150 is a good rule of thumb. You can always suggest a cap. At happy hour, a smaller sampling is closer to $75, again based on what they send out.

    Is happy hour only in the bar or can you order from the happy hour menu at a table?

    At the table too!

    Do they do anniversary desserts?

    Yes

    I see that on the take-out menu, the omakase is for 2. If dining in, is it possible to get omakase for one?

    Can I find out which options are no rice options? My husband can't have rice right now so I'm looking for meat/veggie options that are grain free.

    Uchi and Uchiko rotate their menus daily and are highly responsive to personalization/requests at the table. For reference, most of Uchiko's hot tastings and nearly all of their cool tastings do not use rice. Most fish can be ordered as sashimi… 

    Are walk ins still welcome during covid on a weekend?

    Do they have shabu shabu here?

    No hot pots at the tables. Closest thing is the dish with the Kobe beef you cook on the hot rock.

    Want to get give as a gift... roughly how much would dinner for 4 cost? thanks

    Happy hour (sake social) including drinks: $80-120 per person. Not happy hour, $150 per person if consuming alcohol. Plus tip.

We ordered their tuna poke appetizer, trio roll, austin FC roll, and the matcha maker drink. Matcha Maker was a whiskey drink, tasted pretty fruity and was actually delicious. The whiskey taste comes later. The tuna poke was good, it came with 5-6 chunks of raw tuna with some avocados, which sat on top of some seaweed salad, and had 5 pieces of tortilla chips to pair with. The trio roll and austin fc roll were both delicious. The trio roll had no flavor, as it had 3 different sashimis, but was perfect with soy sauce and wasabi. The austin fc roll came with eel sauce and their house sauce, it was good on it's own. We were starving by the time the food came, since it did take a while as it was crowded.....like every seat in the house was taken! Dinner is izakaya style which is basically tapas or smaller/shareable plates vs entree style dishes. Lunch menu has more options, including bento boxes which we'll have to try next time! Our server was attentive and nice. Overall, definitely recommend. It is more on the pricier side, but it is worth it. Only thing I would do different is bringing a jacket. We came when there was that odd storm and it was freezing inside the restaurant.

Thankfully, most a very good choices! The fries are great. It's weird to start with that but they really are. Same goes for pretty much any sushi. You'll be able to taste the freshness of the fish. However, avoid the curry and katsu. My katsu can only be described as overdone. The breading tasted nearly burnt dry and banding in the meat (see my photo) shows how it was separating from being cooked too long. The curry is as disappointing as their sister restaurant. It's weak enough that I'd venture I could produce a better curry in bulk. Their menu also changes between lunch and dinner so it's possible other non sushi options are better. So do come here and enjoy the sushi, but don't venture into the other menu items. They'd really shine by focusing on a core menu with less accompanying dishes.

When I finally did, I discovered one of the best Japanese restaurants in Austin. Okay ... if you are going to pay $600 for an omikase then the omikase place is better. The tasting menu at Uchi is better. But if you just want Japanese without paying a gold brick and taking out a second mortgage on your house, Miyo Yakitori and Sushi is pretty damm fine. * * * a) Japanese curry is a utility dish in most Japanese restaurants ... and when you get down to it, in most Japanese homes. It is often what you serve on "cheap" night. Airport hotels offer it as the "free dinner" for tired travellers. The curry sauce itself here is standard issue. But they serve it with a Pork Katsu the size of Williamson county. And it is a very good Pork Katsu. That Katsu was good from Liberty Hill to Thrall and from Hester's Crossing to Jarrell. b) My carnivorous partner's Fireball Udon with Shellfish blew him away. Temperature wise and aesthetic pleasure wise. He raved about how good his udon was all the way home. c) Service was instantaneous. I think there was some sort of event horizon distortion of the space time continuum that allowed them to prepare the food and then go back in time and deliver it within a minute of it being ordered. Both of us were impressed. d) The service staff was as nice as any human beings could possibly be. * * * Great food. Great service. The folks who live in the apartment complex that Miyo is in are very lucky people indeed. Either the apartments are lovely and they get Miyo on top of that. Or the apartments are terrible, but they can still spend all their time in Miyo to compensate. Seems like a fair trade. **************** If you read the other reviews, There seems to be some controversy about this establishment. Miyo has fans and Miyo has haters. * * * Here is my read on the conflicting opinions: a) Earlier in the restaurant's history - Say about 2016, 17, or 18, The restaurant was not very good at all. I think at that time it had another name. b) There was a name change and quality went up. Sometimes when this happens there is an ownership change (or there is an owner who swaps out the management and cooking team to put in new blood.) However, things got fixed, they got fixed. c) Miyo's yakitori is apparently still not where it needs to be. I am not a huge Yakitori fan. If your broiled meat on a stick is not $80 an ounce Wagyu, Or amazing organ meats grilled in the Caucasus Barded with lamb fat and with farm fresh vegetables On another skewer for serious taste contrast ... If you are not at that high level, I don't want to pay for meat on a skewer. There are people who DO like Yakitori. They do NOT like the Miyo versions of that. * * * Yakitori is less than 20% of Miyo's menu. The rest is sushi or wonderful cooked dishes. Lay off the skewer food and you can do well here.

This isn't necessarily an every-week dinner for us price-wise--hibachi can definitely be a splurge--but if we could justify going every week, we absolutely would. It is hands-down some of the best hibachi I've ever had. And hibachi seems simple enough: great meat, fried rice, fresh vegetables, sauces. But when it's done REALLY well, apparently there is a huge difference, because Japon has completely ruined mediocre hibachi for me. Everything tastes incredibly fresh, the meat is always cooked beautifully, the vegetables are perfect, the rice is ridiculous, and I could probably consume an irresponsible amount of their sauces. The food is actually so good that it inspired me to start buying fresh vegetables, good meat, rice, yum yum sauce and sriracha and making my own little version at home. It isn't Japon, obviously, but that's how much we love this food. What really deserves recognition, though, is their consistency. We've visited both locations, they've been absolutely SLAMMED, and somehow the service is still exceptional. We've never sat around forever waiting to be acknowledged or wondering where our server went. The staff is attentive, friendly and efficient every single time we've gone. The atmosphere at both locations is beautiful and lively, and of course there's the whole experience of watching your meal prepared right in front of you. Even the little details make it feel like a complete dining experience--from sitting down with a cold Topo Chico and fresh lemon to the little orange treat at the end. It's one of those restaurants where you leave already thinking about the next time you can justify going back. Yes, dinner for two can turn into a splurge. But we've never walked out feeling like the experience wasn't worth it. The quality of the food, atmosphere and consistently excellent service keeps us coming back. If you're craving hibachi in Austin, Sushi Japon is absolutely worth trying. Both locations have been fantastic for us. 10/10. If my budget had its way, we'd be regulars. If my stomach had its way, we'd live there.

When we arrived at the restaurant, the hostess said that she didn't have the reso on her end; rather than apologizing or making a single effort to fix the issue, she just stared at us. We had to prompt her for clarification and next steps, and had to continue to prompt her through the process of getting us sat. When we finally sat down at a regular table, we waited about 15 minutes without a server coming by. I eventually flagged a server down, and we got our order under way. We requested the manager stop by to tell him about the issue with the reservation and the fact that his hostess needs additional training, and surprise, the manager was also not helpful. He did apologize for our reservation being lost, but blamed it on the system and denied any responsibility for taking care of it - basically just told us that "life is life". He did not offer a discount or any kind of relief for the setbacks or bad service. I wasn't expecting the world or anything, but good hospitality dictates that you do more that basically tell us to just deal with it. For the food: the sushi was pretty gnarly - it looked like somebody was angry at the fish when they were slicing. Most things needed salt. Steak and fried rice was good, but the vegetables were pretty much raw. I can forgive quite a bit when it comes to service, especially on graduation/mother's day weekend. But honestly I'm a little impressed at how little the entire staff cared about their guests.
