Uchiko Austin Reviews
First time here and didn't disappoint.
Went with the omakase, hate deciding what to get and why not let the chef choose?! Everything was delicious and seasoned well. Since there wasn't a menu to go along, I couldn't tell you all that was eaten nor did I take any photos. Ser

My daughter and I went back and did the somakase experience again, but were sadly disappointed this time. Bryan didn't seem to listen very well to our preferences and requests. I clearly said I don't prefer tuna and salmon and he sent us 3

I have eaten at a lot of sushi, restaurants, in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and, Hawaii. I have never received so little for what I have paid at any time . If you are expecting to get full for $100 a person, it will not happen. We were

Wow, the food here is soooo good! everything was fresh and tasty, and just hit the spot. Definitely coming back again soon!
The service was incredibly slow.
Drinks were left empty and food took a while. The ambiance was loud and dark not a place to easily have conversations. The food was underwhelming: the scallops were over cooked, the soft shell crab over breaded, the sushi subpar... we tried many i

This place was busy, loud, hip and popular! Our first choice was their sister restaurant but it was booked, so they referred us here, and it was totally worth every penny! They have so many great options and cool yummy deconstructed desserts. I wi
This place is a MUST try.
The food is INCREDIBLE and the service is somehow even better! Brandy was our server and not only was she super sweet and attentive, she was SO knowledgeable! Her recommendations hit every time. 10/10 experience
An expensive Austin disappointment
We came to Uchiko to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday, in hopes of an overall great experience, based on the reviews. I had seen someone on Reddit say not to go, to just go to Odd Duck (a favorite!) instead, but with the rave reviews everywhere
One of Austin's best dining venues
We were delighted by the quality of the food at Uchiko. The seafood and other meats utilized were remarkably fresh and served at just right temperature. The flavors were thoughtfully composed and enticing. Basically, every course of our Omakase wa

The food was wonderful.
The service was exceptional. But the prices were astronomical. This was the most expensive meal I've ever had but more than double... A little over 500 including tip for 10 course tasting for 2, 3 cocktails total and 1 dessert.

Lulu is the best server I've ever had.

This is one of the places where we come to celebrate special occasions, so of course we had to mark our seventh year anniversary here, and it was as wonderful as always. We had the privilege of sitting at the sushi bar so that we were able to enjoy w
We came for happy hour on a Saturday.
We made a reservation online and arrived A few minutes before 4, and were told we'd be seated at 4. We decided to go with 7 course omakase and ordered some other things on the side. I would say the omakase was not worth it. Most of the items were ok

By luck a woman who sat next to me on my flight to Austin recommended this place as a must try. She said it's the best sushi place in town, and they have great service. And my best chance of getting in would be happy hour. Well, she was right on a

I've been here a couple times and I'm always very satisfied when I leave. Sushi doesn't usually fill me up, this definitely did - there's so much variety, great date spot or place to go with a group

First time. Sat at the bar and were surprised, delighted and thoroughly entertained by Ivy. Awesome sushi and creative seafood dishes with a coup de gras of king toro wagu beef followed by dessert of milk and cereal. Well played
Don't hesitate for a moment-- just go! We have lived in
Don't hesitate for a moment-- just go! We have lived in great areas for restaurants, and this was honestly the best meal we can remember having. The freshness and quality of the fish was beautiful, and the seasonings for the sushi were impeccable.
I freaking LOVE this place.
Its been over 15yrs that I've come here during many ACL's and now that we live in Hill Country we make special trips down from Dripping Springs to come eat here. Do your belly a favor and book resos. Service is always friendly. The vibe is a mix o
Fantastic food, attentive, subtle, and knowledgeable
Fantastic food, attentive, subtle, and knowledgeable service, and lively atmosphere. Terrific!
Some pretty good sushi however, the price is a little high.
I would go again due to the price($200 for me and my daughter ) but I cant say the sushi wasn't great!
This was one of my favorite dining experiences.
The atmosphere is great and the dishes are incredible. It was my father and I's first time there and our waiter gave us an excellent guide through the menu. Each item was some of the best sushi I've ever had and the desert was incredible. They all
The food is amazing but the wait time sucks.
I made a reservation at 6:15 and didn't get sat until 6:50. If you make a reservation might as well walk in because you just have to HOPE the table they assigned you is up in time. They don't block off tables for your reservation so who cares.

Uchiko Omakase
This place is next-level. For sure in the top 3 restaurants I’ve ever been to. I did the 8 course tasting menu. Every single course was delicious; there were no misses. But there were some superstars. The bluefin toro was melt-in-your-mouth soft,
Can’t wait to go back!
The best meal and service we have ever had. The food was out of this world, everything seemed to melt in your mouth. Gabs was our server and she kicked ass! We left our dinner selections up to her and she did not disappoint. Every dish that was dropp
Still 5-Stars...
Another 5-star experience at Uchiko this week! Off the top, complimentary valet parking is awesome, hat tip to the guys out there working in 90+ degree heat. Easy drop off, easy pick up after dinner! Wait staff... amazing... Tyler is "da man&
Supreme Stop for Special Spouse Celebratory Supper (…3 times fast - haha)

Uchiko omakase – fluid composition 5/25/2023
Uchiko's omakase struck me as a multi-dimensional (3-4D ?) composition of dynamic characteristics that you think you've nailed down to a certain palette configuration/assortment only to have it morph and yank the receptor rug right out from under you
Life-ring in a sea of gastro mediocrity...
52 days without, how did we do it ? Adrift without the basic necessities - takara nigori, gyutoro, hama chili, and bluefin otoro aburi, ... Such a mood lifter to dig into these outstanding offerings once again ! Taste buds are dancing ! Uchiko knocks

Connect with users posting reservations for Uchiko Austin
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Uchiko Austin. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Uchiko Austin at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Uchiko Austin page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at Uchiko Austin to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Uchiko Austin!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
