Try the unfiltered Sake! The food was exceptional. Nothing looks the same. Chefs here come up with amazing combinations of fish, textures, colors, and flavors that blend perfectly.
Loved the Charred Edamames! An odd one but great was the mushroom one! Oh…. Must try the banana desert…. Muahhh!
Not cheap! But you can taste and feel the quality and the dedication on each serving!
I declare UCHIKO my one place to go when I visit Austin!
Let’s start with the positives (as per usual):
– Food and drinks were fantastic especially for the price! We did the Happy Hour Omakase and Vegetarian Chefs Tasting Menu. Zero regrets there.
– The staff is so thorough about dietary restrictions! It makes the meal stress free for me since some of my restrictions are substantial in terms of consequences.
– The ambiance is lovely and the space is super family friendly! It was our first time taking our now 1 year old son and everyone – especially the front greeters – was kind, sweet, and supportive of us walking around with him since he just started walking and won’t sit still!
The negative (docked 1 star for this):
– Our server, Luke, served up some unnecessary sass. While requesting the Omakase tasting, they had asked for dietary restrictions – restrictions tend to be health related so it was easy for me to share my restrictions – allergic to shellfish and sensitive to black pepper. Those specific words “dietary restrictions” did not translate in our minds to include dietary preferences as well – my husband only eats white meat, not red meat.
– Move ahead to a few courses down… beef was served to him. It looked beautiful but I very politely mentioned “so sorry, but my husband doesn’t eat red meat… is it possible to substitute this with something else?” We would’ve been happy to cover the cost. We just didn’t want to eat something we don’t eat both preferentially as well for cultural/religious reasons. Luke’s response was less than kind and empathic saying something along the lines of “when I asked for dietary restrictions, that’s where this should’ve been mentioned…” yes, okay, we accept that and apologize but mistakes happen especially by sleepless parents of an infant. The attitude in which the response was given took a celebratory occasion and fantastic meal and turned it into a memory that has been painted negatively for us.
– Luke was kind enough to bring me a vegetarian dish to try, on the house, which I was so grateful for! But ruined the moment by saying “I had already put this in free of cost prior to the changing out of the previous dish…” wow… way to take a kind gesture and make it awkward, rude, and unpleasant.
– In addition, despite this interaction, my husband politely said goodbye and thank you. Luke did not acknowledge the niceties at all.
We’ve been eating at Uchiko for years and have had, overall, fantastic experiences! Hoping Luke was simply having a rough day but if this is how they speak to others often, prepare yourselves for some discomfort. Who waits on you matters and what you say/how you say it matters so much; hoping next time we’re back that we get someone else.
There is complimentary valet which was a lifesaver since this area has very little parking and there are signs in the neighborhood saying not to park there.
It’s super popular here so I’d recommend making a reservation before hand! They were able to accommodate some walk-ins while we were there but the place was packed!
The atmosphere is cozy and beautifully decorated, and they even have private rooms.
We came to celebrate a birthday, and every dish was fresh, delicious, and clean.
The drink menu has a great variety, and the prices are reasonable.
The staff provided excellent service, and the manager was very polite, checking on us throughout our meal.
I’m not surprised the restaurant is so popular.
I will definitely come back again!
