Uchiko Austin Reviews from The Last Year
Don't hesitate for a moment-- just go! We have lived in
Don't hesitate for a moment-- just go! We have lived in great areas for restaurants, and this was honestly the best meal we can remember having. The freshness and quality of the fish was beautiful, and the seasonings for the sushi were impeccable. The other dishes were outstanding as well-- interesting, novel, and exquisitely balanced. The evening was made particularly special by our waiter, Jeremy. He has an incredible ability to listen to your taste preferences and make recommendations. He was quick to suggest ways to cope with one person's dietary restrictions. Warm and personable but never intrusive service. This is an outstanding restaurant at every level. We kept thinking about what type of management skills, team work, and staff expertise it would take to make this happen. It all culminated in a terrific meal and experience.
I freaking LOVE this place.
Its been over 15yrs that I've come here during many ACL's and now that we live in Hill Country we make special trips down from Dripping Springs to come eat here. Do your belly a favor and book resos. Service is always friendly. The vibe is a mix of all ages who seem to celebrate great food, Company and good service. If I had to have my last meal on earth it would be here.. the hamachi chili like 10 orders. The balance of sweet, heat, fatty, bitter, salt collides in best possible way... its the best dish I've had at any Japanese restaurant besides my dad catching fresh ahi on his boat in Kona Hawaii or prized toro nigri at Matsuhisa in Beverly Hills. We stumbled on the happy hour here and if we can get our act together we hit this up when we can and eat our faces off. The last trip we hit up Uchiko we had an awesome sushi chef that overheard us taking about the tiger cry roll. We kept seeing it being made.. she said let me make it for you.. I felt like I was committing sushi sin eating a "cooked" Beef roll.... I was gonna loose my asian card on this one Alas... tigers cry was AMAZING! I loved it. Is it better than the hamachi chili.. um no hello Im still Japanese.. but its now on our repeats list for order when we come back. We always leave room for the awesome milk and cereal dessert and then roll to our car wishing we wore stretchy pants and that our couch was only 10min vs 60min drive home. A must visit if you are wanting excellent sushi and Japanese food that rivals some of the best sushi houses in LA, Hawaii, NY or Vegas. Sorry I will take Pix next time.. I got too excited...once that sake and hamachi hit my taste buds it was over no tech just eating.
Fantastic food, attentive, subtle, and knowledgeable
Fantastic food, attentive, subtle, and knowledgeable service, and lively atmosphere. Terrific!
Some pretty good sushi however, the price is a little high.
I would go again due to the price($200 for me and my daughter ) but I cant say the sushi wasn't great!
This was one of my favorite dining experiences.
The atmosphere is great and the dishes are incredible. It was my father and I's first time there and our waiter gave us an excellent guide through the menu. Each item was some of the best sushi I've ever had and the desert was incredible. They allow their chefs to create their own unique dish and have the head chefs pick the best ones to put on the weekly menu which is pretty cool. Our waiter, Nate was awesome. Must try if you're in Austin!
The food is amazing but the wait time sucks.
I made a reservation at 6:15 and didn't get sat until 6:50. If you make a reservation might as well walk in because you just have to HOPE the table they assigned you is up in time. They don't block off tables for your reservation so who cares.
I came with my girlfriend to celebrate her birthday, We
I came with my girlfriend to celebrate her birthday, We heard so many good things about this place , our experience was slightly different from what everybody describe. We pre-reserved. Two seats on the bar, lead us to end of the bar. We felt like nobody's paying attention to us, for all of the evening we needed to fight on the bender attention. The food was tasty, but the service was lack in overall we probably not gonna come back. Definitely not gonna sit on the bar again.
Thanks once again to the entire team for making sure that
Thanks once again to the entire team for making sure that every diner had an incomparable time, and our Valentine's Day dinner was exactly that. We were lucky enough to score seats at the sushi bar a month earlier so that the could watch the team perform. The food is always fresh, creative and delicious. Sitting at the bar always means that we can interact with the highly skilled and talented chefs and meet new people, and Sam and Thomas were total superstars for putting up with me yet also chatting with us. Special kudos to our sushi chef Elliot and our server Jeremy who took care of us and treated us like family members which is just one of many reasons why we come here for special occasions.
Always delivers a great meal! I haven't been disappointed.
I need to go more often! Even my kids have enjoyed from when they were ages 3&5-13&16. Do go to the Happy Hour!
I've been to Uchiko twice now, once when it was crowded and
I've been to Uchiko twice now, once when it was crowded and once when it was not, and I feel like I can review it after these two experiences. Our waiter on the first outing was Max, and he was fantastic; our waiter for the second was Rob, who was also marvelous. We weren't a particularly large group (party of five for one dinner and party of four for the other) and our service was impeccable. The trick with ordering at Uchiko is to order a lot, and each time your waiter comes back, order more, so that you're constantly getting new plates and expos are whisking away the used ones. Everything is good! Imaginative, complementary (one thing paired with another, so tasty!). The only downside to this place is that it is so darn expensive. I've eaten at a lot of pricey venues but Uchiko is the most I've dropped on a meal. It's strictly an "eat here once a year" type of place for us since we can't frequently drop hundreds of dollars on a single meal.
“ Positive Blip in the pendulum of life…”
Uchiko 1/4/2024 Review: “ Positive Blip in the pendulum of life…” Life clicks along with some folks, perhaps most folks, usually revolving around a sometimes work and play pendulum for a period of time that is then accentuated, occasionally, with personally important highpoints – in our case typically earmarked by family visits – “close family” not living close to us, dropping in and brightening the familial subsistence lights. We have been fortunate recently to have celebrated multiple “highpoints”. Our triplet children and their families have “high-pointed” our lives with Christmas visits and we have, in turn, tried to accentuate these occasions with some “special” moments. How ? Answer – the “4Fs”: “Fun, Food, Family, and Forget the price ! (+/-) A few places fit the bill for such “reduced” inhibitions in Austin TX. Who ? Where? Uchiko. Uchiko has proven to be a “fits the bill” establishment over, and over, and over again. No doubts, no reservations, no exceptions. Never, ever, ceases to satisfy, uplift, enlighten, and truly fulfill our greatest gustatory aspirations. How ? Well, heck, the first point/multiple points have to revolve around outstanding performance – service (Holly this time), creation, follow through, mind-blowing flavors/freshness, out-of-the-box thinking variety (important – must be a managerial headache, btw), expertise – and constancy – repeatable quality, on and on, but always to our knowledge absolutely and faithfully presented. A known quantity. A known high end quality. You make a decision to come here, and you know that the results will be outstanding and over the top satisfying. A daughter’s comments: “I would say.... what Uchiko does best is the art of curation, there is letting nature shine and carefully adding elements that buttress what is presented. The art of redaction - in this event, what could be added to the final product for artistic interest, whether by the chef or the consumer - in this space is what is critical for the success of the dish. I found this very evident in the nigiri - the delicate shaved lime on the fluke, the finely diced ginger on the Tanzanian trout.... There is only as much to compliment the dish as is necessary, so as to not detract from the beautiful essence of what makes Uchiko remarkable.” Once again, satisfaction verified. (16-18 times over 10-12 years ?) No subsidence. No reduced quality. No subtle sliding of customer service. Just over the top pride and love of commitment in the trade. Thanks Uchiko staff. (Cheers Holly, Mitchel, all the sushi chefs.) Well done. More than satisfied here. Please – keep it up !! Things change in life, and we like knowing that you are there and kicking bigtime !

Uchiko Omakase
This place is next-level. For sure in the top 3 restaurants I’ve ever been to. I did the 8 course tasting menu. Every single course was delicious; there were no misses. But there were some superstars. The bluefin toro was melt-in-your-mouth soft, buttery and very flavorful. The hama chili is one of the best thing I’ve ever eaten. The fried pumpkin was outstanding. And the real surprise of the night was the beef tallow cookie ice cream sandwich, topped with candied jalapeños. It doesn’t make any sense that that was so good, but it was. It was mildly sweet and noncloying as desserts can sometimes be. The service was spectacular. I sat at the wine bar and the bartenders there were extremely upbeat and really made you feel like you were talking to a friend. This is a next-level restaurant, perfect for a special occasion.
Can’t wait to go back!
The best meal and service we have ever had. The food was out of this world, everything seemed to melt in your mouth. Gabs was our server and she kicked ass! We left our dinner selections up to her and she did not disappoint. Every dish that was dropped off was thoroughly explained, the staff is incredibly knowledgeable and attentive, definitely all working as a team. We wish we lived here so we could be regulars. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone with tastebuds.
Still 5-Stars...
Another 5-star experience at Uchiko this week! Off the top, complimentary valet parking is awesome, hat tip to the guys out there working in 90+ degree heat. Easy drop off, easy pick up after dinner! Wait staff... amazing... Tyler is "da man" in the front of the house, "extended" happy hours prices a bit because the kitchen was slow. All service was great, attentive but not overbearing. Perfect 5-star! Don't hire more wait staff, clone Tyler! PS Hint to sushi lovers on a budget, hit Uchiko for sushi happy hour... stick to that menu, and you walk out totally satisfied, great sushi, at a fraction of the cost! When will other sushi bars figure that one out? If they don't, make Uchiko that "once a month stop"...!!! We started with soup, asked for miso soup, no longer available, so we had the new mushroom broth soup, several types of tiny mushrooms and tofu, delicious. In my opinion, a more "palate crazy" event than the miso, very, very good! Followed up with bluefin akami and bincho, both delicious, perfectly prepared, served at the perfect temperature, nothing else needed ... eat and enjoy! So much for the happy hour menu! We followed that with orders of hama chili, wonderful presentation and tasted out of this world! Next followed orders of sake toro nigiri and shime saba. Great presentation, fantastically fresh, an oh so wonderful! We then tried the bluefin and soft shell makis (sushi rolls). Both were amazing blends of flavors and textures, dipping sauces on the side that brought out the deepest and most sublime flavors of the rolls. We wrapped up with guykan style uni, and one at the table ordered the banana cake dessert, all were fantastic. A perfect ending to a perfect meal! Again!!!
Supreme Stop for Special Spouse Celebratory Supper (…3 times fast - haha)
Uchiko staff went above and beyond to help us celebrate a milestone, from authoring a mind-blowing omakase composite of menu items, to accomplished food prep follow through, to special pre-proffered theme touches executed not just to request, but above and beyond even somewhat elevated expectations. So beautifully done, such happy recipients, such a feeling of rewarded trust. We made the right choice. This IS the place when that special place is needed. We are completely, wide-eyed, satiated. As mentioned to the sushi chef Mitchell (btw – fun to see someone having fun in their job) near the end of the Omakase courses - we know there are so many other tastes to be had, but we feel we've experienced it all and are extremely happy with the list of items you've put together. You hate to stop, but practicalities impose. So good. (Great actually) Well done all ! (Mitchell, Lauren, DJ, Alli, unknown multitudes behind the scenes) Then, the send-off...can't divulge, I assume, as per conventional wisdom, everybody would expect it. But, suffice it to say that extra thought, love, and care was demonstrated when it could of just as easy been skipped and none would have been the wiser. Above and beyond treatment of customers. Always. Many thanks, "until better paid", as the saying goes. Mission over-accomplished ? Never. Haha. Do yourself a favor, moreover, do your significant other a favor - indulge, here. Just leave it to them. What we were privileged to sample tonight: 1. Black magic oyster – half-shell w/strawberry chip, chutney (tasty) 2. Toro nuta – bluefin tuna, blueberry, pistachio, lemon dashi (very nice) 3. Kabocha tempura – pumpkin, jalapeno, shishito aioli (yes, old fav) 4. “44” nigiri – (custom request) sea bream, red snapper, salmon, bluefin (excellent variety) 5. King crab – corn, uni, kimchi (yumm) 6. Spicy crunchy tuna – big eye tuna, shallot, tobanjan aioli (textural change up) 7. Hotate – scallop, spicy aioli, avocado (variety balance) 8. Japanese sweet potato – brown butter, nori vinaigrette, crème fraiche (new to us, very good) 9. Dry aged steak – wagyu, charred snow peas leaves (new item - loved) 10. Toyosu selections – Bluefin akami, chutoro, otoro (loin, med fat, fatty) (great to compare) 11. Kinoko usuzukuri – trumpet mushroom, shallot, shiro zu (nice change) 12. Hearth roasted lobster – tom kha, maitake, umeboshi butter (new one) (omg) 13. Seasonal sundae – sorbet, banana, caramel sauce 14. Blueberry okashi – panna cotta, habanero, white chocolate crunch (both good together) Cheers all.
Uchiko omakase – fluid composition 5/25/2023
Uchiko's omakase struck me as a multi-dimensional (3-4D ?) composition of dynamic characteristics that you think you've nailed down to a certain palette configuration/assortment only to have it morph and yank the receptor rug right out from under your feet. The sushimi is the mortar of this composition at the center, mild, flavorful, textural, soft and fresh, while certain items like the Hama Chili, the Foie Gras Gunkan, the Grilled Oysters, the Gyutoro, the Sprouts, among others, are the spikes in this composition that explode out from the theoretical swirling fluid center. The Foie Gras Gunkan, for example, you think you've grasped that livery pate' flavor in the beginning and it morphs multiple times, kind of like rolling thunder with highs and lows and echoing crescendos slowly tapering off into stillness, leaving a memory of multiple tasteful expressions from that single bite. Now the Hama Chili , I just dare you to not want to pick up the bowl at the end and drink that sauce. The Grilled Oyster creation, I don't believe I've ever tasted anything quite like that in the way of a mollusk presentation before, so many bright flavor combinations balancing the complimentary mild flesh - a lot going on there. Gyutoro, well, savory on steroids. Sakuro Masu and Watermelon actually pushed the envelope as overall prime spot contenders. Did the sake help this visual/sensoral carnival ride ? I don't believe it mattered - 90% sure, but certainly didn't detract ! The paint's not dry on this one yet, and that's the way I want to keep it. Kudos Hayden, Lauren, Alli, and all the creative staff. Success !

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Appointment
I was waiting on the transfer for name but it hasn’t happened yet and my reservation is tonight , will it be an issue that is hasn’t changed into my name yet
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome
to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
