Uchi

One of the best sushi places I have ever had! Delicious and the fish melted in my mouth. We literally ordered almost everything off the menu, including some things that the waiters recommended that were off menu. It was a cozy place and the service was amazing. The waiter never forgot about us. We had the nigiri's, rolls, appetizers, everything! I regret not taking pictures of the beautiful food but we had a phone less dinner which made our experience a lot better. Honestly, I wish I could go back right now, but sadly I live in Las Vegas. But for sure if I ever make my way back to Dallas, I will eat here 100%.Dear Owners of Uchi, please open up a Vegas location for locals! Not on the strip. Thank you.

Ambiance-6/10 | loud buzzy restaurant. decor very minimalistic and sultry. Hostess staff very welcoming and efficient. Sizzling entrees present a hazy environment but is a nature of the beast. Music volume was abrupt for the experience we were expecting.Drinks-7/10 | kinda figured there wasn't a full bar based on the menu online. However balanced Sake cocktails which is great for those that pregame like myself! Quick bartenders! Food-9/10 | kudos to the kitchen! Flavors were bold and amazing. Only point loss due to overuse of acidic profiles and slow pace. Can excuse the pace due to it being a pretty busy night. Service-2/10 | overlooked- not interactive - disingenuous - uninterested - visibly irritable - order taker - fell very short especially for first time diners celebrating promotions. Maybe Sabrina had a bad night??? Then again was very attentive to tables nearby. Prejudice? Raised score to 2 solely based on the server assistants/food runners that provided detailed descriptions of each dish and enthusiasm! Please get them on the floor ASAP.

Excellent food. Inspired chef(s).Excellent service by the waiter, a very knowledgeable and personable guide to the tasting menu.But, don't forget your credit card after your meal. For me, getting a response to a telephone call has been totally frustrating. It appears that at least some of the back-office people couldn't care less about the patrons. Very disrespectful.

Everyone deserves a night at Uchi at least once every couple of years!! Outstanding early birthday dinner this weekend. Our server Samantha was so knowledgeable, quick, and kind! We ordered so many different items both happy hour and not. By far the best brussel sprouts in Dallas! The avocado "sushi" is always a pleasant touch. And they offer all kinds of sashimi. The absolute star of the show is their gyutoro- a 72-hour wagyu short rib that will have you seeing fireworks. One bite and it is pure magical goodness!! My husband and I ordered it three different times in one sitting! Really loved the happy hour hot sake. Everything was a vibe. Special shoutout to all the team for a cute birthday card! I felt special.

While the service was good, the food is way over priced for what it is. The smallest role I have ever seen for 10 bucks. And this was happy hour prices. Drinks were good but I will not be returning based on the cost and what you get.

Uchi has officially fallen off, I'll say it. Uchi/uchiba/uchiko used to be my absolute favorite spot to celebrate. Their happy hour was my ride or die. I've been going since living in AustinThis Dallas location, as you can see from some recent reviews as well, is so hit or miss. To quote another reviewer "overrated, overhyped". Is this just what happens to chains?This recent encounter was a huge miss for me. Management didn't even come to apologize The food overall was ok. Everything did not taste as good as it used to. The once crunchy karaage was soggy... they desperately need to go back to the original dish where they plated the karaage instead of putting it in a box. What's amazing about karaage is the crunch and that was completely missing. The Brussels, which once blew my mind with that fish sauce caramel, was just so sweet and salty in an unbalanced way. The rest of the dishes were ok as well. Nothing really was special. What really upset me was the clay pot mushroom rice dish- kinoko nabe. As I was eating the dish there was sand like material, and I thought at first ok maybe that's just the crunchy, crispy rice bits. Then I felt a really hard bite, crunched down on my tooth and saw something that looked like a pebble. I was like ok what's this and tried to move on. A few bites later there are multiple little pebbles in the food, I wish I took a picture of all of them...the waiter wanted to take them back to see what was going on. Apparently he told me the prep chef forgot to cut the ends of the mushroom the day before? Also why were ends of the mushroom hard as rock? Honestly they looked like pebbles...And why did the chef not notice that before throwing it into the dish? Honestly so frustrating writing this review thinking about how I consumed what was probably dirt from the mushroom. They remade our dish and didn't charge us, but it still just made no sense. I feel like a restaurant charging so much should have trained prep staff and chef to catch errors like this! These things do happens, but when you're paying for a more fine dining experience, that Uchi claims to offer, this really shouldn't happen and not with the extent of non edible ingredients found in the dish...save your hard earn money! Dallas restaurant scene has far better options. The only redeeming grace is their fried milk dish- 5/5 but maybe avoid this location and try the other ones. The service was also mediocre and slow. We saw other staff come around more consistently than our main waiter. TLDR: Uchi is not what it used to be. Dine with caution here. Be ok potentially eating dirt and rocks in your food

Overrated, overhyped, and overpriced. I had been so excited trying Uchi for the first time since I missed my chance in Austin! Heard that the Dallas location was even better but I couldn't believe how something this hyped can be so bad.Service: Our server was very knowledgeable but the service was so slow. We had to keep flagging down other employees for items. We requested fresh wasabi and it took them 15 mins to bring out. At which point, we had already almost finished all of our food. Alcohol: Note, they do not have a liquor licenses so there is only sake available. Food: I cannot believe how overpriced the food was and I live in California. Pricing is comparable to Nobu but quality does not even measure. The fish was served warmer than room temperature and tasted very fishy. I should have known not to go to a sushi restaurant in a city that is nowhere near the ocean. We had dinner for three with three drinks each, a carpaccio plate, and 5-6 pieces of nigiri. Total came out to $586 and we weren't even close to being full.

We had an AMAZING experience with Trevor. So knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything on the menu. Truly an incredible dining experience. He customized our experience and served us with a huge smile. We sooo appreciate his impeccable service!! Thank you, Trevor!Restaurant is clean and beautiful. Loved watching the staff :)

Uchi is a mind-blowingly awesome culinary experience. Everything ordered was through the roof delicious. The pork belly, chicken katsu, octopus dish, fish dish and Australian wagyu on a hot rock were incredible. Same thing with some of the appetizers. Their dessert was phenomenal. The mango tapioca was excellent but the fried milk was truly divine! An experience that can only be tasted but not described. Uchi is a must-visit if you are in Dallas!

I have been to Uchi several times and each time the experience is great. Great quality of fish. The staff here were very friendly. We had quite a few selections when we came here. This place is one of the must go to while in Dallas for me.
