  My husband and I have been to Uchi and Uchiba. We’ve been to neighborhood sushi. We have tried the best of the best in Austin and Nobu in 5 different locations around the US. We were super excited to try Uchiko! Our friends got us a gift card because they thought we’d love this place since we are big fans of sushi in general and go out to eat often. It’s been a year - and we were finally ready to give this place a go. We sat at the bar. Drinks were fine. We ordered a bunch of food. All was extremely underwhelming. Nigiri was the star of the show! Good fresh fish. Hard to mess up! The rolls were falling apart. Edamame was over salted. We sent that back. Got it 25 minutes later and it was still too salty. The blonde bar manager was very stressed out, pretty rude, and the time it took to get our food felt way too long. We had a $150 gift card but all in, including tip it was close to $400 for the two of us. We won’t be coming back because of the bad service and the very mediocre food. Not worth the price. A very disappointing experience! I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. Neighborhood sushi is 100 times better and so is their other location Uchi.

  I had an incredible dining experience at Uchiko in Austin, and a big part of that was thanks to our server, Marco. From the moment we sat down, Marco made us feel welcome and guided us through the menu with great recommendations. His knowledge of the dishes and attention to detail really elevated the experience. We went with the Somakase menu which had a bit of everything. The food was absolutely outstanding—fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor—but what made the evening truly memorable was Marco’s exceptional service. He was attentive without being intrusive, and his friendly, professional demeanor made the whole meal enjoyable and stress-free. If you’re planning to visit Uchiko, I highly recommend asking for Marco. He goes above and beyond to make sure you have an unforgettable experience. Five stars all the way!

  I just wave to preface that there was not a single thing I ordered that I didn’t absolutely love. The food is undeniably delicious & we ordered quite a bit! I was with a party of 7 our bill was $1500, which I didn’t mind I am always willing to splurge on good food & service however, the service was unwelcoming and rude. I had an overwhelming sense like the server and other staff were annoyed of us & just felt like a burden It was like every request bothered them. My aunt broke a glass and the woman who came to clean sighed and rolled her eyes it was pretty upsetting especially because we spent so much money.

  The food was delicious — every dish exceeded our expectations. The service was also very good, and the staff was kind and attentive throughout our visit. However, I would like to note that I made the reservation to celebrate my husband’s birthday, and even though I indicated this when booking, there was no acknowledgment or special detail related to the occasion. It makes me wonder why this information is requested during the reservation process if no celebration-related attention is provided. Overall, the experience was positive and the quality of the food is excellent, but a small gesture would have made the evening even more special.

  Uchiko lives up to the hype. The sushi was superb — fresh, beautifully presented, and thoughtfully prepared — but what truly stood out was the service. Sitting at the sushi bar made the experience even better; the chef’s recommendations were spot-on and tailored to my tastes. Every staff member, from the waitress to the sushi chef to those simply passing by, was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind. Happy hour is a great way to enjoy the experience at a more approachable price point, and free valet parking makes everything easy. Whether it’s a date night, catching up with friends, or treating yourself, Uchiko is one of Austin’s “it” spots for a reason.
