Reviews for Uchi in Houston, TX
Great place and we’ve gone here for years. Great place for any special occasion or even date night. Well worth trying the... Omakase Chef Tasting. It will allow you to try things especially when you can’t decide. Brussels sprouts are my favorite, trythem to start off. Read more
the food here was great. the only issue my partner and i ran into was with our service. we got there right on time for our... reservation and the hosts seemed like they were not happy to be there at all, the woman who brought us to our table did not evensmile once. then our server (who did not even tell us his name) was very inattentive and often times we had to wait a very longperiod for him to check our table when we wanted to order something. i would watch him stand at the back of the restaurant orcheck on all of his tables around us seemingly forgetting us. throughout our evening we felt like we were his last priority.once we had been there for around an hour he began pushing us to finish our meal, i understand it’s a busy place but thewebsite states the restaurant anticipates guests to stay there for around 2-2 and a half hours so i was unsure why he waspushing us to leave. he kept asking if he could take our chopsticks and clear our table when we had only been waiting for him tocome back so we could order a few more things of the menu. he did not say a single word to us unrelated to what we were orderingor “are you guys still okay?” the entire night. once again, i understand it is a very busy place but as i heard the otherservers around us be friendly with their guests i felt as though once again we were being forgotten. we came to uchi for oursecond anniversary because we wanted amazing food (which we did get) but we also wanted to have a special, romantic night. weboth felt as though the server could not wait to get us out the door, and did not even acknowledge our special day with acongratulations… i expect that if i’m spending hundreds of dollars on a meal the server would at least be kind and welcomingto me.

We got the set menu which came in at $175 per person. Steep price but reasonable considering the culinary journey and quality of... ingredients. Definitely comes recommended. Only complaint is that customers are given cheap, single-use Chinese chopsticks.There’s a clear difference between Japanese style and Chinese style chopsticks, and why one kind is used for sashimi and thelike. For a high end restaurant that showed so much attention to details in the dishes, I’d expect the same when it came tothe table setting. Read more
We got like 15 dishes; hot rock, shishito, something chili, caviar, 4 different kind of nigiri…it all tasted amazing. I... couldn’t tell you what all of it was called though. I also didn’t get pictures of everything. Our server, dusty was awesometoo. We’ve come here many times and everything is always consistent, food service. I love it here. Read more
This restaurant is very pricey but the quality of food really reflects that. They have impeccable dishes with a broad range of... flavours - which will make you not want to go to any other Japanese restaurant other than Uchi. Order anything you want on themenu - you can't go wrong! Service is fast and waiters are friendly and attentive. Very busy place so you have to book like aweek in advance! Read more
Wow! It was an amazing experience. Now I like to say I love sushi but I had no idea what I was in for. I'm a basic rolls gal and... was ready to just enjoy the rolls they had to offer. My server saved the day and said would you like me to pick some items foryou. I said yes! We discussed what proteins I did and didn't like and if I had any allergies. Then I gave him all the power formy meal. Best decision ever. It was delicious, everything that was delivered to my table. There was only one item I reallydidn't like but they asked me about. It was a newer item they were working on. Let me just say, letting someone else just chooseyour meal for you was so freeing. It was a night I soon won't forget. I honestly can't give you names of the dishes. They toldme I ate then then the next one came out and I had forgotten the name already. I know the crudos were delicious. Every singleone they brought out. The Matstake Bass was amazing. Perfect last course of the dinner. Try the Jasmine cream for an interestingand surprising dessert and the fried milk to give you that chocolate craving most people love for a ending to a good night. Itook terrible photos of some things but do yourself a favor and treat yourself. It's not a cheap night out but it's anexperience worth every penny. Read more
My only complaint is that they have ruined my expectation of good sushi and I will not be able to go to another restaurant ever... in life. This was the freshest most delicious food I have ever had at a restaurant. Worth every dime! Great vibes and music.Delicious sake. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable! Best dining experience by far. Wonderful experience! Will be back! Bonus:They have vegetarian and vegan options. Pictured below that is not fish that is a tomato ???? Read more
We got a reservation to celebrate our anniversary, and our server Virginia made sure it was a memorable experience! The Chef's... Tasting is a must for those looking to have an adventure without stressing what to order, and the variability of what wasincluded across presentation, ingredients, abd textures will keep you engaged for the entire meal. We spent around two hours atUchi between 13 courses (three were desserts) and a bottle of sparkling wine. Plan for about the same amount of time so you canenjoy the experience fully. Thank you again to Virginia and the entire Uchi staff and chefs! Highly recommend. Read more
