We had an amazing Sunday lunch at Uchiba in Austin, and it was easily one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in the city. We made a reservation ahead of time, and everything from check-in to the final plate was seamless. The service was warm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu.

We ordered a variety of dishes, and every single one was standout. The Tiger Cry Bao was rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The Ba Burger was surprisingly bold and packed with umami. The Donburi Chicken Thigh was comforting and deeply satisfying, while the Tokyo Shoyu Ramen had a clean, savory broth that felt refined yet familiar. The karaage was beautifully crispy and tender.

For sushi lovers, the Bluefin Otoro and Hamachi were melt-in-your-mouth perfection—fresh, buttery, and expertly prepared. We also enjoyed the Kankitsu sake, which paired wonderfully with everything we ordered.

It was my sister and I’s first night in Austin and we are so happy we decided to make a last minute reservation at Uchiba! Our server Rita and all the other staff made this dinner exceptional! Rita’s attentiveness to our pallette & her reccomendations were a great pairing. We loved her vibe and kindess! We thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated how each server explained each dish when it arrived to the table. The music was very mood fitting and made the ambience top tier. Oh! & the food was amazing! From the sweet potato tempura, yuca chips with edamame hummus, and hamma chilli to start! Then you can’t go wrong with any nigiri! Highly reccommend everyone to make a stop here! Also, they have amazing heaters in the patio & offer blankets!

This review is primarily their lunch special. My partner got the $25 lunch prix fixe menu. We got a full sized Hama chili (iykyk) which immediately made the special worth it. Amazing cuts of hamachi paired with orange slices – this one always hits. For the main, we got the hot fried chicken which was decent. It was a bit overly saucey and salty but the chicken itself was juicy. The sorbet was peach and was a refreshing way to end the course.

I ordered the ba lunch with a burger ($38) which came with a sesame salad (delicious!), a handroll, and 2 nigiri pieces. The nigiri was sockeye salmon and akami; pretty basic but still very yummy. The burger was an American Wagyu – pretty standard but still very yummy 🙂

Lunch aside, Uchibā is one of my favorite sushi restaurants in Austin. Contrary to many opinions, I don’t think it’s “too expensive for what it is”, considering what the going rate for nigiri pieces a la cart is at other mediocre spots. I’ve spent birthdays here, celebrated my engagement, and just swung by casually whenever I had a sushi craving for consistent and delicious food.

Amazing sushi and great bar energy. Sit where you can people-watch.

Favorites: hirame #1, hamachi #2, madai #3. Would order all again. Scallops were sliced & okay (he loved them).

Skip the chicken and steak skewers! —odd, slimy texture.
Pork potstickers were crunchy/greasy; fine for a group.
The brussel sprouts were good, but just a filler.
Strawberry tequila drink was good but too sweet. The espresso cocktail we made up was better.

Our service Nallely was the best, she made the experience amazing, she is indeed an asset to this restaurant. We did try their happy hour omakase and it was pretty good. Their scallops in butter are also delicious.

Uchiba Austin delivered an outstanding experience, made even better by our incredible server, Naelly. From the moment we sat down, she was warm, attentive, and genuinely hospitable, making us feel welcomed and well taken care of throughout the entire meal. Her generosity and thoughtful recommendations elevated the experience, and she went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect without ever being intrusive. Exceptional service like hers is what turns a great restaurant into a memorable one, and we’ll absolutely be back because of it.

Easily one of my favorite restaurants in Austin. There’s so much I loved here- the food of course and the staff is amazing. They’re so helpful and recommend the best food ever exactly according to our preferences. When we went in hoping for a vegetarian tasting menu, they initially said they don’t have it but our server came back after discussing with the chef saying they’d be happy to create one for us. Can’t wait to go back and try their desserts since they were sold out the other day.

I had a good experience at Uchiba overall and enjoyed the food, though I wasn’t completely blown away. They do offer some solid vegan options, but the experience had a few drawbacks.

I was seated at the sushi bar, which I didn’t mind, but as a vegan it’s not exactly impressive to stare at a wall of refrigerated raw fish. It was also pretty loud, and sometimes hard to hear my server who was working behind the counter.

I started with a drink: the old fashioned with Japanese whiskey was light, delicate, and excellent. For food, the yucca chips appetizer was very good, and the eggplant bao was awesome (though not fully vegan). The menu created some confusion: the online menu clearly lists vegetarian/vegan options, the paper menu does not, and some dishes marked “vegan option available” apparently couldn’t be made vegan. That led to a slightly awkward ordering process.

From the sushi bar recommendations, I tried the watermelon nigiri, mushroom nigiri, and tofu avocado maki. Everything was good, but the mushroom nigiri was outstanding, possibly the best vegan sushi I’ve ever had. The tofu avocado maki, on the other hand, was a bit odd, with brown avocado that took away from the experience.

For dessert, I went with the strawberry sorbet. It leaned more toward shaved ice than sorbet, but it was creative and refreshing. Unfortunately, it took about 25 minutes to arrive.

Overall, a mixed but enjoyable visit. I’d definitely come back to explore more of the menu, but when it comes to vegan sushi specifically, I’d probably lean toward other spots in town.

My partner and I tried to order to holiday omakase at home set for take out. We were told on the phone that because we were using a gift card, we had to go order in person (even though the website said we needed to call with a gift card). We waited about an hour for the take out. The omakase at home showed the “Ichi”box(a $95 value), with karage, brussel sprouts, and a pint of ice cream included. What we got was more aligned with their “Kaiso” box(a $65 value). So instead of 12 pieces of nigiri and two rolls, we received 4 pieces of nigiri, two of which were very browned avocado, then 6 pieces of sashimi and a single roll.

Came for happy hour, stayed for everything else! Happy hour is a quick turn, ensing at 5:30. Favorite dish was the wagyu dumplings (non-happy hour). The perfect soup + dumpling flavors. The onigiri are a wonderful twist. Meat on the outside, rice on the inside. We were trying to figure out which sashimi to get, and the bartenders were so helpful in guiding us through the menu.
