    Love the unique flavor combinations and creative menu. Yes there are better sushi/ nigiri places in LA but I love coming here for the vibes & food quality. The service is also amazing here & I’ve never had a bad meal.

    I cannot speak more highly of a dining experience than Uchi. First off, the food was incredible. Best omakase my wife and I have ever had. Secondly, our server was amazing. He took our likes and dislikes and turned it into a memorable dinner. Lastly the vibe is on point. Don’t skip Uchi. Hope to see you in NYC sooner than later.

    WOW! Is all I can say I was blown away by the experience, ambiance and food!! We sat at the bar and Raul was the most attentive, kind and experience bartender and server I have ever experienced! He recommended dishes and laughed with us he was so kind and made the dining experience so warm and welcoming!! The service was so amazing but the food was even better! 😭 The oysters are to die for and the fish nuggies are so comforting!! I recommended UCHI to anyone looking for a nice warm atmosphere with great food and great service!

    I have dined at Uchi a few times and this most recent time was just a 10/10. I made a reservation for what I thought was a same day reservation, at check in I realized I had unintentionally made my reservation for the following night. The hostest who had pink tipped hair (she was amazing), was beyond accommodating and by the looks of the dining room they were booked! The hostess reassured me that she would seat us. I was genuinely expecting to be out of luck, I felt so bad for my party and for the staff. However the staff was so welcoming and kind at no point did I feel rushed or a burden. The waitress I think her name was Jess was spectacular I truly can't explain how thoughtful and attentive she was. I always liked Uchi but this experience just pushed it over there edge. O and the valet was so sweet! So from start to end 10/10.

    Loud, terrible for a date, way overpriced for the quality, weird pacing, lukewarm hot dishes and warm sushi. No idea how it’s still full on an average night. Literally the tea was hot tap temperature when it hit the table…can’t even make tea
