Another great meal and experience at Uchiko. Service was great and I love that happy hour extends to weekends. That's such a nice perk. We tried several pieces, rolls, furikake rice, Japanese sweet potatoes, and sea bass. Our fave piece was the lobster gunkan. Great vibes as usual! read more

The service was excellent! The food was sustainable and extremely fresh with creative pretty presentations. That is about it. The plates are extremely tiny and even if you go spend $200 you still leave hungry and not satisfied. I think this is a restaurant where you don't go back after the first time you're there. The restaurant was not busy. read more

Had omakase for 2 people. It was $310-ish per person. Not your traditional omakase with nigiri. There were many dishes and only 2 nigiris. I didn't mind it. It's nice to have variety of dishes. I liked everything that was served to us for the mushroom. They need to replace the mushroom with another dish or make this dish more flavorful. We ordered from happy hour dishes (HH is from 4-6PM everyday) and they were not worth it. The dumplings came in 2 pieces for like $12. My kids didn't even like it. They really like the chicken karagee which I agreed were good, moist and tender. read more

We came for happy hour on a weekday and it was not packed. They have valet parking if needed but theres also parking structure close by. We apprciate to be able to sit down quickly. Samuel was our sever and he was awesome! He asked if anyone had any allergies and I am allergic to mangos. The servers were so good at reassuring me that there were no mangos in the food which really gives me peace of mind. We had so much food and the desserts were delicious. It was all every filling. Cant wait to come back and visit. read more

Lovely location at Legacy West. Interior follows Uchi ambiance. Reservations can easily be made online and on Sunday it's happy hour all day at the bar. We were promptly seated and service was impeccable. Our server asked what we typically order at Uchi and made wonderful recommendations. Everything we ate was delicious. A standout was the charred maitake. Wonderful experience, perfect for date night. read more

So my favorite restaurant in DFW is Uchi in Uptown so when I found out that Uchiko was opening up my way in Legacy West I was so excited. I didn't want to get my expectations up so I was prepared for it to be not as good as Uchi, but let me tell you how glad I am that i was wrong. Uchiko is just as delicious as Uchi and I am ecstatic about it. The hubs and I went there for our 11 year "dating" anniversary and they made it special from start to finish and even included a couple dishes on the house. Walking in, it feels VERY similar to Uchi in Uptown. Similar decor and vibe, but I actually prefer Uchiko's layout better. Foodwise, Every single thing we had there was just out of this world. The flavors and textures are innovative, creative and unlike anything else we've ever had. It feels like we are eating a meal from Top Chef. Some of our favorites (chef's kiss ): - Hama chili - Kanpachi crudo - Koviche - yokai berry - snow crab nigiri - salmon handroll - milk & cereal Wish we could afford to eat here regularly, but we definitely can't. They do however have a pretty sweet happy hour, so we usually make sure to take advantage of that! So happy Uchiko is here in Plano. read more

We were here late last year for a family dinner and enjoyed every moment of it. This time it was just me and my wife. We came here for happy hour. But we went out of the way for a six course omakaze (signature tasting)! To make it short, everything was fantastic! We loved the first course: hama chili. The fresh yellowtail sitting on top of tangy orange slices in ponzu sauce. It was visually appealing and appetizing! The salmon handrolls (saki temaki) were stuffed with moist, tender salmon and soft sticky koshihikari rice. The madai and kanpachi nigri was awesome, especially the buttery kanpachi. It looks like red snapper, but it tastes way better! The gem lettuce salad was so beautifully plated beyond my description. Please look at the picture I took:) Then came the star of the show: steak frites. They were grilled medium rare, tender and juicy, accompanied with a handful of golden brown fries. Last but not least, the lychee coconut sundae was a perfect dessert. It was sweet and creamy, with crispy plantain chips and toasty nuts! We were really really happy! Our server (Angel) was phenomenal! He knows all the dishes inside out. Look for him if your curious about what exactly you're eating! read more

I've been here three times so far and loved it every single time. All the ingredients are fresh and the dishes are very well prepared and presented. Some of the sushi items use ingredients such as mushroom and eggplant, which I found somewhat unique. The furikake rice and the karage chicken are some non sushi dishes that I enjoyed. For dessert, I've tried the blueberry dessert and the cereal and milk and both were amazing. I got a $25 coupon in my email after my second visit. I'll be back again soon! read more

I take back any hint of negativity I've ever said! Just ask for Katie and everything will arrive smoothly and with personalized attention! Side note: try the new strawberry matcha dessert -- really yummy and well balanced (and I don't even like matcha!) read more

Uchiko Plano - karaage: fried chicken, cucumber, seasonal pickles - Japanese Near Me - Plano, Texas

4.5/5 Our family rented out a private room for a celebration and the service and staff were extremely attentive. We did the omakase and ordered extra entrees as well. It was delicious. I loved the quality and unique flavors of what we were trying. This is truly a fantastic place for a celebration and a good meal. I took off half a star because the lobster tail was a bit tough, as was the octopus. read more

Good ambience. Went for happy hour and thought it was a nice, inclusive menu of different options. Something for everyone. Small plates is the vibe here. Really enjoyed the Waygu hot rock, salmon nigiri, Brussel sprouts and milk+ cereal dessert. Wasn't a fan of the lettuce gem .. the flavor profile didn't really match the rest of the dishes. read more

Service was really good, super friendly and attentive. The food tasted great too, but the portions were pretty small. The nigiri in particular had really thin slices, which was a little disappointing. Overall, good experience, just wish the servings were a bit bigger. read more

Heard such great things about this place. We sat at the bar and the bar tenders were excellent. The drinks were fantastic. The only downside - and a big one for us - the food handling was unsanitary. All Prepared next to the bar and only one person was wearing one glove (not two). The other people were not wearing gloves at all. They were cutting meat, using what looked a dirty rag to wipe down surfaces and touching all of the food without gloves. Make a policy to wear gloves and we are back ! Everything else was great. read more

Heard a lot of great things about the uchibā/uchiko restaurants and was finally able to try it yesterday. For a birthday, we made a reservation for 10 at 4:30 and was pretty full. Our server, Nate, was excellent in running us down the omakase and the menu items for the night. We began with some happy hour items like their fresh tuna and salmon crispy rice which were amazing for $3 a piece, as well as the happy hour salmon sushi. I also ordered the blue crab temaki/handroll, and the nori was absolutely perfect. I then ordered many of the special sushi and all of it was amazing. I tried so many, but the tuna otoro was definitely a standout. For the birthday girl. Our server gave us 3 complimentary hot rocks, which was so generous, along with 2 free ube tarts. My only con about our experience is that we got seated at high tables, but with 10 people, can't complain. Nate made our experience an absolute pleasure last night and made it special for all of us! read more

Uchiko Plano - assortment special nigiri - Japanese Near Me - Plano, Texas

Uchiko Austin is quite literally one of my favorite restaurants on the planet and Uchiko Plano did not disappoint abd quickly soaring up my list of favies as well! Beautiful set up. Warm, luxurious and tres tres chic decor and setting. Very welcoming! Service- fantastic. We were off to a terrific start! We were celebrating a friend's birthday, and our server was so sweet to treat us to dessert. After dinner of course- but I had to start with mentioning that first- ha! Food: beyond beautiful. Heavenly. I can't remember the ten million things we ordered but everything was silky satin savory sensational!!! I'm apparently still dreaming about the food. I will mention one suggestion- maybe provide a little soy sauce or seasoning on tables- the furikake rice was a little bland. Needed a little kick- Everything else, literally melts in your mouth- euphoric flavors. Must visit- must taste for yourself. Do not deprive yourselves. Treat yourself and enjoy these fabulous flavors. It's an experience for sure! Thank you, Uchiko for giving it your best! Love love loved it. Remarkable, inventive dining adventure. Upscale- tip top quality- prepare for a pricey and delicious meal. Worth it. read more

From the moment we stepped in we were greeted by a large staff beaming that we've come to experience Uchiko. They are kind and well prepared. We were seated on time and noticed their chic waiting area was is in the middle of the restaurant, I found that to be lively and innovative. The full bar is an obvious difference between Uchi and Uchiko, Uchiko's cocktail menu does not disappoint. Our server worked at Uchi for 3 years and was able to describe menu item differences and provide solid recommendations. With a party of six we did run through the water pretty fast, I believe we asked for more water 3 to 4 times, it did not bug us with the decadent food and drinks throughout the evening. Looking forward to trying their steaks and branzino next round. Congratulations to the team and staff! Uchiko is a wonderful addition to the Dallas food scene. read more

I've been a fan of the Uchi restaurants ever since my first time at Uchiko Austin and I was SO excited for the Plano location to open up! Per usual, the service was phenomenal. I've been twice now and Athena was amazing on my first visit, she expertly suggested new dishes and drinks for my friends and me. On my second time, we celebrated my birthday and I received a signed card when I arrived, such a nice touch! The food is always so delicious and we always have amazing experiences and because each Uchi branded location is chef curated, you could order something you've had before but the flavor profile could be totally different and I absolutely love that. The Hearth here is also so great offering more on the hot side of the menu! It's a bit dangerous that I work across the street because I want to to every day! read more

Great experience here! Came here for a date night and almost everything we tried was so good. Started with a Japanese whiskey (not me, but my husband loved it) and a pink drink with dragon fruit that was so good. I was worried it was going to be too sweet but it was perfectly balanced. We also ordered a bottle of Prosecco and when they opened it, it completely overflowed and we easily lost an entire glass worth. If they hadn't given us a $30 complimentary dish, we would've said something. Food! Hamachi Chili - my absolute favorite. I LOVED the hit of chili and it paired so well with the orange Brussel Sprouts - I was worried when the description said "fish caramel" but it was not fishy at all. Perfectly sweet and perfectly crispy Pork Belly Kimchi -- not something I'd rave about but glad we tried it Blue Fin Cold Tasting - we actually got this complimentary and it was SO good -- great balance of tuna to sauce Spicy Crunchy Tuna Roll - this might have been my #1. From the looks of it I thought it might be heavy but it was so good and I absolutely loved the sauce that came with it Salmon & Tuna Nigiri & Sashimi -- no major complaints but felt like the salmon nigiri didn't need the yogurt Australian Denver Steak - only 4 oz but very good and very tender Chinese Broccoli -- too heavy on the cream "Milk & Cereal" - this dessert was so good, barely gave my husband a bite I almost ate it all Overall I loved our experience here and we'll be back! read more

Amazing meal at Uchiko, once again Hai Hospitality aims to impress and successfully succeeds. I had the honors of visiting their soft opening and the food met the expectation set by Uchi Dallas. All the food was succulent, flavorful, and fresh. Since it was the soft opening, service did get a bit slow when the kitchen became backed up. They brought out their food individually in the typical manner it is usually brought out at Uchi restaurants, and the service staff did their best to describe every dish. Even though towards the tail end of our order the food took its time to come out (about 20 minutes between dishes) the server tried his best to keep us updated. The interior is incredibly similar to Uchi Dallas. Excited to see how Uchiko takes on Plano! read more

5 stars every time ! Ask for Anthony, you won't regret it. The Japanese sweet potato is AMAZING, the iberico pork is AMAZING, really everything is amazing. Uchiko does sushi so well that I have been disappointed at nearly every sushi spot I've tried after this. This is the one restaurant where every time I go, I run up a check. My boyfriend and I order everything we can from here LOL. I recommended the otoro, flounder, and madai nigiri but truly everything is excellent! This spot is decorated so tastefully and gives off that romantic vibe. 10/10 date night! read more

What I want to know is Uchiko a step up from Uchiba, if so that explains it all. I finally decided to visit and give the 9 course tasting a try. No better way to celebrate a friends b-day. With an early reservation, I was set to take advantage of the happy hour Omakase tasting. Walked in and immediately noted the layout, the restaurant was expansive and laid out nicely. Front of house was prompt in welcoming me and my guest . Walking to the sushi bar I scanned the space and loved the distinct areas and ability to see everyone. Perfect if you enjoy seeing people. We sat down and got to business and I decided I wanted the full feature Omakase over a Manhattan and a specialty dragon fly cocktail. We had some wonderful nigiri pieces with flounder, sea bass and crab. Simply delicious and absolutely fresh and meticulously paired with the perfect oil / juice features. The hot rock Wagyu with my persona light sear exploded in my mouth and then melted over my tongue . There was one dish that was the absolute star and involved pork and a puree'd vegetable along with some other Uchiko wonderfulness. It was like no pork I've had before. I just merely moved my mouth in a chewing motion not even using my teeth. The motion alone broke the pork up into individual little explosions of deliciousness. I have to go back for this dish alone. Be sure to let your chef know your pace, otherwise I feel the different dishes can kind of stack up. I felt a little rushed at first and had to lift my hand as if to say please be mindful and pace us a bit slower. We are here to celebrate and not shovel. That was my only quip! Uchiko - the victims of a super efficient kitchen. It could be worse . If you have a few coins give it a go, there's plenty around for before or after . read more

The location is fantastic since it's close to folks I visit when I'm in Plano. The Interior and the ambiance very much as an Uchiko meets Dallas vibe with a couched waiting area open to the restaurant. Valet for your car was available, but it was a little confusing figuring out where that drop location was. It's in the alley drive around the corner from the restaurant. The service staff was great but expected since the Hai/Uchi group does such a great job of training to maintain the quality and consistency across their restaurants. While they do course out your order, we noticed that speed was inconsistent comparatively, but that could just be a bit of growing pains as it wasn't that long from opening. Overall the food was good and maintained the same consistency as the others (I've been to nearly all of the Uchi concepts). read more

Five stars again and again. We made a reservation for a Monday night, and the restaurant was packed. Valet is complimentary and is right behind the building. Our server was kind- we opted for the Omakase and started with the Lychee Martini and Citrus Old Fashioned. The Omakase menu was a 10/10. I'm not the biggest sushi fan but I am now!! The flavors and detail was amazing. At one point we had a very long lapse in our next course and cocktail. Our waitress did check on us, and the staff sent over some complimentary items to cover the gap. The wait was at least 20 minutes, but the thoughtfulness to bring something else and acknowledge the wait was more than sufficient. Not the most romantic of places as the seats are shoulder to shoulder, but I would go here again in a heartbeat. read more

Second time this month being at Uchiko. This time we fell in love with the Yam Tom Kha. Crispy rice was, again, wonderful. Our server tried to deliver another tables meal to us but we corrected them. All in all, lovely experience. Very easy to get dinner reservations for happy hour at this location - just plan ahead a couple days. read more

Has to be the most unprofessional place I've been at. Dirty dishes horrible food horrible sous chef

Went here for a date night and had a nice time. We got a sampling of various sushi plates, cocktails and dessert. I was undecided on a roll so I asked our server to surprise me. She ended up bringing both with one on the house. Happy hour drink prices are decent. The food was very flavorful however, for the price, the fish (nigiri, sashimi, hand rolls and rolls) was extremely small and about half the size you'd get at a mid-range sushi restaurant. We spent $250 for two people and still left hungry. The tables are also very close together so privacy is limited. I don't need to go back but I'm glad I tried it. read more

Friends took us here to experience the newest Japanese restaurant in the bustling Legacy West area. The inside has a moody, dark, slick vibe. We were seated in a corner booth and one of the Chefs came by to say Hi to our hosts, who apparently have been regulars here since they've been open. Our host ordered everything for us to try out. For me, I enjoyed the Ebi Tempura, Kombu Carrots, the Rice with Mushrooms and Wagyu, and the Yellowtail. Authentic, fresh, and balanced. Service was excellent and parking is a breeze with the large multi-story parking garage nearby. If you enjoy Japanese cuisine, Uchiko is worth checking out. read more

Friendly staff, answered any questions I had. 10/10. Great fresh fish. Nice atmosphere. Clean restaurant.

*****4 STARS***** Uchiko Plano is located in the Legacy West area. They're a newer Japanese that opened earlier this summer according to my friends who took me here recently. The mood and decor inside is dark and good for a romantic evening out. For my visit here, my friends ordered a bunch of dishes. The standouts for me were the Kinoko Nabe with Gyutoro(Rice with mushrooms and Wagyu), the Hama Chili(Yellowtail), Ebi Tempura(Shrimp), Brussels Sprouts, and the Kombu Carrots. All of these dishes were delicately prepared and tasted super fresh. The Ebi Tempura was amazing, possibly the best shrimp tempura I've ever had and the rice with mushrooms and wagyu was equally delicious and not heavy. Parking can be found in the nearby multi-story parking garage. Our waitress was amazing and provided a top notch experience for myself and our group. I would love to come back here when I visit my friends again, hopefully in the very near future. read more

Lovely service in all the details. The inside is just as beautiful as the outside, and the food was as good as expected.

Can't wait to come back! read more

Truly excellent meal. Every time. Don't expect big pieces of tasteless metallic strip mall sushi. Granted, those can be ok. But Uchiko's sushi are a little smaller, but packed with exponentially better flavors. Nothing metallic. All fresh. Some fish I've never heard of, but perfectly paired with the perfect topping (lemon, yuzu, wasabi, tamari, strawberry, etc etc). Even the rice is flavored wonderfully. My family will never leave a single grain of rice uneaten, lol. The different cold tastings are all perfectly balanced (Hama chili and yokai berry our faves), and we love the non fish sushi as well (eggplant with a salty sweet miso glaze, brown butter mushroom, melt in your mouth gyotoro). The service is impeccable. They know their stuff. Everyone. Each dish comes expertly explained and they made it themselves. I have no idea how they can memorize so much. Unreal. Our server was so kind she gave us a free tasting of sushi she thought we would like. She was right! Dry aged kanpachi. Wow! And Chef Stefan even came out a delivered a dish, and visited with us (and many other tables) which really was an unexpected and nice touch. This place NEVER disappoints. Upscale sushi and grilled meats (we usually stick with the sushi cuz we love it so much), phenomenal service from the front desk to servers and runners, all in an upscale environment that's also down to earth and not pretentious in the least. Our favorite place in DFW. read more
