Uchi, Houston TX

Can’t say enough good things about Uchi. Never a bad meal here. We have a few favorites like machi cure and tomato nigiri. Short rib is so good like butter melting in your mouth. Always get some surprises as well. Waiters are also top notch.

This was the best sushi experience I’ve ever had! We came for my husbands birthday last minute on a Wednesday and snagged some seats at the sushi bar. We weren’t expecting to do omakase but since it was a birthday we decided to do it. It was fabulous! Not cheap by any means but so worth the price if you are into sushi.

Celebrated my wife’s birthday here (again) and they never disappoint. Thank you Chef Kevin for treating us at the bar. Everything was delicious. We’ll be back.

Sat at the sushi bar and we had a great time food was so good and unique - Jason was great watching him prepare things hoping to see him at the new Scottsdale location next month! Can’t wait to go

This restaurant is an excellent choice for sushi enthusiasts, and the price is well justified. My wife and I have celebrated our wedding anniversary here twice, and each experience has been unparalleled. We opted for the omakase, a dining experience where the kitchen presents dishes based on your preferences gathered through a few questions beforehand. Omakase translates to “I’ll leave it up to you. ” Not only does the surprise element enhance the experience, but it also eliminates the stress of navigating an extensive menu to find the perfect dish. We had the opportunity to try a little bit of everything, and some of our favorites included the Ocean Trout, Hama Chili, and Gyutoro. My wife and I particularly loved the spice added by fresh Thai chilis to the Hama Chili dish. The sake cocktails are all delicious, and I can't recommend just one! The attentiveness of our server, Anthony, just made the experience that much better. I cannot recommend Uchi enough.

Delicious but very pricey. The sushi is the best I ever had. We’ve gone here 3x now and got the tasting menu twice. The sushi just melts in your mouth and you can tell it is fresh. The environment isn’t fancy it’s pretty casual but the food is top notch. It’s a small place. My only complaint is the small parking lot because it’s hard to get in and out and to find parking.

One of the best sushi places I’ve ever been to you could distinctly taste every part of the meal and it was perfect; service was top tier and the atmosphere was very nice.

The food was good but I must say the likes of Uchiko, Kata Robata and Kuu offer better food. The service was very poor, we ordered many different dishes/nigiris/rolls and unfortunately the delivery of the food was very very slow, to the point of having to forgo the last 2 dishes and the dessert we had already ordered because we had been waiting 30+ mins for them at the end of the night. I wonder if it is a tactic they use to make people leave after 2 hrs sitting on the table? Perhaps they do not have enough staff? The other two tables left and right to ours had the same complaints about the waiting time for the dishes. Also the server (Zohan) was not helpful and would not describe the dishes appropriately when I asked. I would not go back to this place, I would rather go to the other places cited above, where I have never had issues with the service.

I really enjoyed ordering from their vegetarian menu even though I'm not vegetarian myself
They have lots of unique ways they make their sushi and it's all so amazing to try

This used to be my favorite place.
Still is but it’s definitely not as dreamy and unique as it always was in the past. Hostess was less than helpful, rude almost. Hand towels aren’t a thing anymore? Also, noticed some changes to my fave dish, brussel sprouts and Walu Walu. Noticed different staff as well, felt less than magical as it was in the past. Would still go again though.

Best sushi in Houston. One of the best in the country. Matt is a phenomenal waiter and can build a selection for you. Consistently exceptional experience.

Uchi came highly recommended to us. We spent over $500 for 2 people. Extremely disappointed. Plenty of better restaurants in Htx. So loud. Service lacking considering money spent. If you're young and don't know any better it may be for you.

This is a date/night sushi restaurant for once or twice yearly. The atmosphere is warm comfortable friendly staff. Sushi is extra fresh and the rice is more sweeter than any other sushi place I’ve experienced. It is pricey you paid for combo of service, atmosphere, and foods.
I will come back!

Great Sushi nad friendly service although our table wasn't ready and we had to sit at the bar:/

It was my first time going to Uchi, I always passed by this restaurant, and I didn't know what it was, so I never gave it a chance. It was November when my family and I went to celebrate my birthday. When we first arrived, the hosts were respectful and said "happy birthday" to me. They sat us at our table and recommended some drinks for us. We asked our waitress what we should order, and she recommended the omakase. We ended up having 17 courses with high lights being the hot stone A5 wagyu beef, Brussels sprouts, and fried milk dessert. It is worth every penny, and I'll recommend it to any newcomers and regulars.

Came to Uchi in September for my birthday and had a lovely dinner. Came again tonight and the food was exceptional as expected. Our SERVER MATT WAS PHENOMENAL! He provided wonderful service and really made another birthday celebration feel special. Thank you!

This is by far my favorite Restaurant in Houston. They never disappoint! I’ve been coming since they opened and always forget to leave my own review. NOT Today!

We had John today as our server on this visit and was just Awesome! He helped some new comer friends of mine make some great choices and some of his own suggestions they enjoyed.

They have already noted they would return, without a doubt.

Food, Service, Knowledge, Environment, Everything was on point.

I attempt to tell everyone when you come here. You probably won’t be full, but you’ll experience an explosion of flavors in each dish.

So try to be open minded and play on what spices, flavors, foods, etc.people already enjoy.

Uchi takes that and just elevates the bar to the next level.

I love the new items on the menu, Hot / Cold Ousters! They just ruined what I want to expect from all oysters going forward.

New roll options! I don’t want to spoil it for you. Stop in, if you haven’t been in a while. They have something for you to try.

Sorry, as not all the photos came out. The darkness plays a the lens. But most of them did, thankfully.

See you guys again soon!

Still amazing food! I used to go to Uchi all the time when I lived in Houston, especially for happy hour. I came back after 4 years and the food, ambiance & service is still top notch! I sat at the wine bar & got excellent service from Hudson as well as interesting conversation. I took a number of his recommendations & was pleased with each one. The food quality & presentation is top notch. One of my favorite restaurants in Houston.
