Amazing dining experience! My fiancé took me here for my birthday and I cannot recommend it enough. Each touch point throughout the experience was wonderful. It was also my first time trying omakase and the idea of rawness kind of made me hesitant to try, but wow, I feel like Ive been missing out! I can’t wait to go back to try again, each dish was thoughtfully curated and I felt the freshness with each bite!

Visited on Thursday, 2/19 and had the best time! My dad and I love the Austin Uchi/Uchiko location and I was so excited to hear a spot opening up in Philly!
We opted for the 9 course Happy Hour Omakase, and then added some additional plates at the end.
Lychee Martini was so yum – not too sweet and could taste the lychee without it tasting artificial.
Knowledge for the dishes being dropped off was great! Really got a good sense of what we were eating and ideal/recommended way to eat it!
Overall, so pleased with our dinner here and our server was amazing. I don’t remember her name unfortunately, but we were the 2nd to last booth on the far left wall facing the sushi counter.
I asked her to send out a favorite dish/small bite of hers and she sent the King Ora salmon nigiri and the Black Bream nigiri which I would definitely do again!
I would say out of all the dishes the crispy rice was my least favorite? But I will be dreaming of the Grilled Oysters, Raw Oysters with that strawberry mignonette.
Run, don’t walk to their Happy Hour. Atmosphere was great. I loved the super non-fussiness from the FOH and ability to catch up with my dad whilst enjoying an amazing experience. Will be back for sure!

This was our first time here and we went with the happy hour tasting menu, which was such a great way to experience the place.
The food was excellent and beautifully presented. Chef Kyle explained the courses and gave helpful suggestions, which made the tasting menu feel smooth and well thought out. Everything we tried was fresh and well executed, although a couple of dishes leaned on the saltier side for our taste.
But what truly made the night unforgettable was Tan. He completely elevated the entire experience for us. From the moment we walked in, his energy was incredible. His contagious smile, warmth, and genuine kindness set the tone for the whole evening. He was attentive without being overbearing, gave thoughtful recommendations, and made us feel truly welcome. It didn’t feel like just good service, it felt personal.
Tan honestly changed the whole experience for us. People like him are what make a restaurant special.
We had such a wonderful first visit and will absolutely be coming back.

We had the pleasure of attending Uchi Philadelphia’s soft opening on 11/14 and were thrilled that this renowned restaurant finally opened in our city. We had visited the original Austin location on a trip 11 years ago and had a wonderful experience there, so our expectations were high.
We ordered the Omakase for two and paired it with daiginjyo sake. Every piece of sushi we were served was meticulously executed and absolutely delicious. The quality of the fish was outstanding—on par with what you would find in authentic sushi spots in Tokyo.
That said, there were a couple of dishes that didn’t fully resonate with us. For instance, the dashi poured in a sake cup was very salty and felt unusual for Omakase. As a Japanese diner, I personally prefer a more inviting and warm atmosphere, like Uchi Austin, rather than the darker, lounge-like ambiance here.
Our server, Teddy, was fantastic—attentive, professional, and made us feel very comfortable throughout the meal. We understand that soft openings are a training period, but at times we were slightly disrupted when servers cleared dishes while we were still eating.
Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal and look forward to returning. Next time, we plan to focus mainly on sushi rather than the full Omakase. For anyone seeking a true Japanese dining experience, I would recommend prioritizing the sushi offerings.

This was my favorite meal of the year! I love Uchi’s Austin and Miami locations, so I was so happy to see they opened in Philly. The ambiance is perfect: gorgeous lamps, cozy booths, perfect sound balance.
Our server Michelle was a highlight of our night! She was so knowledgeable about the menu and really helped us craft a balanced meal and experience. In fact, Michelle and the Uchi team recommended dishes I would never think to try but totally blew me away like the kinoko nigiri and kinoko nabe.
The hirame usuzukuri, namahotate, and warm banana cake were my favorites!

UCHI IS A WHOLE VIBE !!!
Exquisite food, phenomenal service, and the atmosphere is sophisticated / cozy. I’ve been a loyal customer of Uchi since their opening day. My first visit was during their “soft opening” in November 2025 (Uchi was comping up to $125 pp) and I’ve been bringing my friends and family here ever since!!! If you want to dine where your servers are extremely attentive, friendly, and can tell you in full details about everything on the menu, including the sauces… Uchi is where to go. Their dessert menu is not to be played with baby. My favorite dessert is The Warm Banana Cake (a chef’s kiss to that). Speaking of the chef… Chef Ford is a powerhouse !! I requested to personally speak with him and this food genius actually put a pause on feeding the whole restaurant to hear me praise his cooking. My favorite dish is The Hot Rock, which is a serving of several well seasoned, pieces of raw Canadian wagu steak that you cook on a hot rock. As well, the Hama Chilli and Grilled Oysters ARE A MUST I give this restaurant a 10 all across the board because each time I dine here it’s truly a fun and fascinating experience

Incredible dining experience! I went with a couple friends and we tried the somakase. Our waiter, Tan, did a phenomenal job tailoring the meal to our different preferences while being mindful of dietary restrictions. Everything tasted and looked amazing, and the cocktails were so delicious. Tan was super knowledgeable, and the entire staff helped make it a five star experience. Perfect for a date night, a celebration with friends, or simply treating yourself. Happy to have Uchi in Philly, and can’t wait to come back!

The happy hour omakase at Uchi is hands down one of the best-kept secrets in Philly. The quality, pacing, and value feel almost criminal for what you’re getting.
But what truly made this meal unforgettable was our server, Tan.
I genuinely have not experienced service like this anywhere in Philadelphia. Tan was warm, kind, wildly attentive without ever hovering, and brought that rare, almost Disney-level magic to the entire meal. Every detail felt thoughtful, intentional, and elevated — the kind of service that makes you feel taken care of from start to finish.
Food was phenomenal, atmosphere was perfect, but Tan took it from “amazing dinner” to core memory. We will absolutely be back again and again… and will only be requesting Tan as our server.
Wow. Wow. Wow.

I tried Uchi last week and did their happy hour omakase. Some of the dishes were truly excellent, easily one to two standout bites. That said, several courses felt unnecessary for an omakase experience. Items like broccoli, pork belly, and meatballs did not belong in what I expect to be a fish focused tasting and did not feel worth the price point. If it is advertised as omakase, I expect seafood throughout, otherwise the value just is not there for me.
I would absolutely go back for the a la carte happy hour menu, but I would not do the omakase again. One small but surprising detail was that after the check arrived, I asked for tea and it was added to the bill at the same price as a cocktail. For a restaurant at this level, that could have easily been comped.

Had such a great time the other day at Uchi! We’re so happy they’re in the neighborhood. Rittenhouse definitely needed a spot like this. We did the somakase and our server Tan was amazing. It was a little loud and we had some trouble hearing parts of the menu explanation, but he was super patient and repeated things without hesitation.
He took the time to explain the dishes, ask about our flavor preferences, and make sure our allergies were considered. Every dish he picked came out looking beautiful and tasted amazing. The flavors were fun, and nothing missed. We left already talking about what we want to try next time.
