Uchiko Houston Reviews from The Last Year
Amazing place, amazing food, amazing service! Loved it all.
Can't say enough good things about Uchiko!!!!
Where to start? Uchiko is unquestionably my favorite spot
Where to start? Uchiko is unquestionably my favorite spot in Houston. There is other delicious sushi and there are other fun restaurants in Houston, but nothing compares to the experience and service at Uchiko. Jessica Brach is the events extraordinaire. If you need to have an event - whether for 6 or 150, personal or corporate - Jessica is your go to. I will miss a few of my favorite folks, but I have to give a special shoutout to David, John, Sky, Erik - the team of servers, bartenders, managers, hosts - it's just a perfect experience from start to finish. Could not recommend Uchiko more highly, and so grateful to have them in our city!
Amazing.
The food was 100%. I recommend. Don't pass this place up. They will offer great suggestions.

The restaurant is big and it is dimly lit that creates a romantic ambience. I was brought to my table promptly. The staff were so polite and friendly, and were always around when I needed their service. I started off with the sake crudo which was light and refreshing. After which, I had various maki and nigiri. The lobster maki was the most memorable one because the yuzu sabayon was sweet and sour, and when eaten together with the lobster maki, the flavors that came together were bright and light. I loved the Hokkaido uni nigiri too. The uni just melted in my mouth, and the texture was amazing. The hot rock was good too. The waygu was tender, and the ponzu sauce paired well with the meat. The cod katsu wasn't for me. The fish was supposed to be smoked but I couldn't get the smoked part. There was too much distraction on top of the fish, which I thought was unnecessary. The grilled scallops were a miss too. While the melted butter was good, the scallops were too tiny. To end my meal, I had the strawberry matcha dessert. I loved the pandan cremeaux, and the strawberry ice cream was good. Both had very rich flavors in them. I would have this all day everyday. The Happy Hour menu has a seven course omakase at a good price. On their menu, they have daily specials too which features interesting food items. There is complimentary valet parking which is convenient. Reservations are highly recommended to prevent disappointment.

Outstanding in every way! Is very expensive, but appropriately. The sushi, nigiri, sashimi, etc. are superior to any other Japanese restaurant we've ever visited outside of the Far East!
Went here for an exclusive credit card event thing.
Would've loved to join a few Yelp Elite event things too, but I don't like showing my face and setting any sort of expectations. So a little bit about the format: Uchiko does that faux "omakase" thing where they charge you a fixe prix for a combo meal and then set you at a table like any other before a symphony of whatever waitresses are available at the moment bring out the courses to you, one by one. If you're familiar with my other writeups, it's a lot like Shimogamo or Phase 1 of The Duck Inn. What I find extra disappointing, however, is that Uchiko by far has the most impersonal "omakase" service I have ever had to go through. At least with Shimogamo, you have a dedicated waitress tending your table throughout the meal, and with The Duck Inn, you have some one-on-one time with the chef when it comes time for the main dish. Uchiko combined the worst of both worlds. Granted, the waitresses were all pleasant and polite and I have nothing but appreciation for them individually, but I lived in Fort Wayne for a good while. Politeness doesn't impress me. They also closely followed the Duck Inn's "fine dining" format where most of the courses are really appetizers that taste like whatever, with a hearty "main dish" coming second-to-last before closing with a heavy dessert. Alas, in Uchiko's case, the "main dish" wasn't much to talk about. It was a sirloin steak that tasted impressive with the first couple of bites but ultimately... It is a sirloin steak. With fries. And a vinegary chimichurri. You can be forgiven for mistaking it for a filet mignon, but the waitress said it was A5 and I have doubts about that part. There was no discernible sourcing for the meat, and the texture was much closer to "American wagyu" than I'd imagine any A5 counterpart to be. It is a good entrée on its own, but this is HOUSTON and steak should not taste boring. But Uchiko, at least, advertises itself as a fine sushi place, so I'd be amiss not to talk about the fish. After all, Texans seem to seek Uchi Restaurants for superlative sushi. ...This is not superlative sushi. The "Hamachi Chili" was quite dressed up and you could taste a lot of chili alright, but the fish itself was average at best. It just tasted like a sad piece of Hamachi eaten with 3 slices of tangerine to me (for like, $10. Plus.) The chili sauce was quite acidic as well - which sadly prompts me to repeat a criticism I had with Shimogamo: If your sashimi requires a lot of condiments to shine, ESPECIALLY if one of those condiments is copious amounts of vinegar, then it's not a good sashimi. The second course, a traditional piece of nigiri "from the Toyosu Fish Market", was honestly so whatever that I couldn't even be bothered to remember what fish they gave me. The third course was an avocado nigiri and it was honestly the best piece of the meal. What is it with these faux omakases and their cheapest piece being the best piece of the meal???! I mean, I can comment on how good the avocado is, but I know you didn't, and wouldn't, come here for avocado nigiri. The fourth course was an akami temaki (or tuna handroll for us Americans) in soy sauce. It... is correct, I suppose. Is it a good handroll? Yes. Is it a particularly special handroll? Not really. Finally, the dessert. An avocado sherbet with coconut flakes and lime cream. One thing I have to praise Uchiko on is that there is a lot of contrast in this one, without any of the flavors fundamentally clashing with each other. The lime cream provided a lot of tart that helps counter the almost-overwhelming pungency of the avocado, before the light coconut flakes balance out them both. It was a bit late into the game and the portion was a bit much for me, but I do approve this as a true "fine dining" dish. The complimentary beverages, all things considered, are pretty impressive, but I don't drink so I'll let a better sommelier (read: pretty much everybody) to comment on them for me. TL;DR A very stereotypical, "assembly-line" fine dining place that serves sushi yet "specializes" in hot food. None of the staff, waitresses, cooks or otherwise, looked particularly happy or stressed. They are just doing their job, and you're just another diner.
Do you like sushi? What about shellfish? You don't?
Do you like sushi? What about shellfish? You don't? Okay, cool; there's like, seven things on the menu for you, a few of them being appetizers. They're all prepared PERFECTLY; they will ALL make you stop, close your eyes, and appreciate the flavors and textures in each bite. No one in that kitchen accepts less than the best. What about a drink? Japanese and Japanese-inspired cuisine, and look: three types of shōchū! No chūhai on the cocktail menu, but I bet they could make me one! No, they can't. Not to save their souls. The company policy prevents it: pours are too heavy, they only have sparkling water when the drink needs club soda, and I don't believe their bartenders would ever willingly add the necessary amount of water to any of their cocktails. Hell, I don't even know whether I could call the glass my drink was in a highball glass; I can call it tall, and I can call it "too thin to contain more than 6 fluid ounces". ... And the service was IMPECCABLE, and my pork belly was what all pork belly headed for a plate aspires to be. It's a great restaurant. It won't ever be my first, or third, or tenth choice. I am not their audience. You may be.
Love this place.
I always stop by whenever I get a chance. Even if it's for a little snack! The food and service is always amazing. Can't wait to go back.

If you're looking for something on the luxury side of sushi, then this is the restaurant you want. From the moment you pull into the covered valet area that houses both Uchiko, an upscale jewelry store, and high end boutique shops, it's a transport into the posh side of Houston. While I do not particularly care for forced valet, there really is no where else to self park. In the case of this restaurant, I was willing to give in to the valet, but I would have preferred to not hand my keys over to a stranger. Dark, moody, and sleek, the designers embodied the minimalism aspect of Japanese design, while modernizing it to be appealing to Americans. The dining areas are large, the sushi bar very long, and the bar is a visual blend of a masculine whiskey bar and Japanese design. Seating is comfortable, but I did feel like a child sitting so low at the sushi bar, while our sushi chef was standing so high above us. Each party at the sushi bar is served by one sushi chef, allowing diners to have full attention from their sushi chef and a shared server who fulfills drink orders and delivers cooked dishes from the kitchen. The restrooms are equally industrial beautiful, clean, and odorless. My cousin and I are huge fans of sushi. We both have quite a few western food allergies, making the Asian diet the ideal dining out option for both of us. We perused the menu a bit, and decided on the chef's tasting omakase. There is a reason why the menu states "MKT" for price, they want to keep the sticker shock on the printed menu from deterring diners from choosing this option. Yes, it is 10 courses, and yes, they were the best that Uchiko has to offer, but the price point was steep at $350/pp. Initially, my cousin said that he was going to pay for dinner, but at that price point, I told him we would split the bill so that we could both enjoy it without either one of us being stuck with the full bill. While I could go course by course, it would not help, because the menu changes based on what is freshest and what they have available. What I can confirm is that it is a mix of starters, traditional sushi, fusion Japanese-American cooked dishes, and two dessert courses. By the end, my belly was full and I could have even skipped the desserts. Would I recommend the chef's tasting omakase? Yes. Is the price point worth it? Probably not. However, if price is really a deciding factor, check out their happy hour omakase for a more affordable scaled down version of their full omakase. While there was a mistake/problem during our visit, without hesitation, our server visually saw the problem. Before I could even say something, she immediately said that she was going to get the manager. The manager appeared promptly, and stated that the meal would be comped. It's not that the mistake/problem happened, its how the staff handled it, and as a customer, I never want to have to ask for it to be fixed. They stepped up, fixed it, and did everything they could to assure us that our business was valued. Overall, their sushi is more traditional, the dining room is quite a bit larger, and the location is posher than their Uchi sister store. While the omakase is "oh-my-goodness" exceptional, the price point may deter many from enjoying it. The happy hour is the best bargain to sample some of their offerings at a lower price point for those who would like to still try this restaurant.
Beautiful plating.
Exquisite flavors. Lovely service. Wonderful ambiance. Nicely lit and decorated inside and out. Very reasonable prices for the dining experience. Will definitely be back next time I am in Houston. MUST TRY THE CEREAL AND MILK DESSERT. We almost ordered a second one after finishing our first, but were in a rush. Each of the four nigiris we ordered had an amazing flavor. One or two were quite unique, and the soy sauce / rice / wasabi added to the nigiri were perfect. Server did a wonderful job recommending dishes. Scallop and pufferfish dishes were wonder fun and beautifully plated. Tempura was not too heavy. The mushroom dish involved five different varieties of mushroom and may have been the best dish of the night. Chef sent over a complimentary avocado nigiri so our vegetarian friend could join us in a nice bite. Based on the dishes I tried (seafood and vegetarian), I have nothing negative to say about this restaurant and had a lovely experience. Very happy about the price we paid as well. Clearly a lot of thought and care went into every dish. Very grateful for this dining experience.
Amazing food, discouraging service.
Amazing food experience in a beautiful restaurant. But: Complicated menu, disengaged waiter, erratic service, and cold ac in a cold November day. Not good enough for what this place pretends to offer.

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!
