- BWBrandy White1 day ago5.0What a fun vibe! FOH mgr Ashley was so sweet! Chef was amazing. Our server Alyssa was a joy. Everything was phenomenal. Definitely 10/10 Dessert is a must! (As well as the Sake Karai omg 😋🤤)
- SJSteve JacobsonNov 14, 20252.0Good atmosphere but over priced food that wasn't to our liking. Had the pork belly which took 25 mins to arrive at our table and was over cooked. Other items were almost too spicy to eat. Not going back to this place.
- ATAaron TangNov 6, 20255.0Uchiko saved my Anniversary (November 4th) I visited the Dallas area in Texas to spend time with my partner and we decided to go to a nice dinner to celebrate the occasion. Despite the long wait because of large number of people, the staff went above and beyond to make our dinner a fond memory we will never forget! I’d like to give a special thanks to Kara for making sure we felt heard and taken care of. The food was delicious and we would love to come again for our next anniversary.
- AAAlysiaNov 3, 20255.0I’m a longtime foodie fan of Uchi and all of the other restaurants associated with it so it was a treat to visit this new Uchiko! As usual, the food was spectacular. Service was on point - JP took care of us and he was exceptionally knowledgeable and charming. We felt very well cared for. Our sushi chef, Xaviar, was friendly and skilled with the knife - I really enjoyed watching him dishing up hand rolls and he chatted with us as much as possible as the evening got busier and busier on a Saturday night. We loved every dish we tried. We sampled some items from the happy hour menu, as well as the main menu, and we finished with a cheesecake that was mind blowing.
- CCChuckOct 29, 20254.0The only bad thing of the night was the rice in the nigiri we had was either old or dry.. the best way to describe it was "al dente" and it was consistent through the entire omakase course our party of 5 had. It does not come with ginger or wasabi so you have to be sure to order that. The nigiri portion is incredibly small but personally I don't mind that as I'm more quality > quantity. That being said it's maybe the smallest I've ever experienced comparing to sushi sake, pearl & Yama Izakaya. Other than that.. the rest of the food, service, atmosphere and ambiance was top tier. It definitely feels weird to compliment a restaurant's edamame but it was smoked! It was incredibly delicious. Our server, Omar, was very knowledgeable, understanding and guided us to the right choices. He was also incredibly generous which really translated to our experience being not only enjoyable but also personal and even custom. Big Props to Omar. Overall an 8.3 out of 10, would come again. Last but not least, we requested only wild caught fish for our omakase course as we do not prefer farm raised and the selection as well as the fish quality exceeded our expectations. Adding a photo of the sake we drank, it was incredible.
