    Pho with rare eye round, tendon, and tripe
    Charli V.

    I really needed pho. Unfortunately, it wasn't this bowl that I needed. I think everything was there, the bowl quantity, the service, the presentation. MINUS the quality, I'm pretty sure the noodles used in my bowl was spoiled because my bowl had a sour taste that just wasn't palatable. Also, the "fresh" coconut juice is a frozen drink that was served still frozen. Lol I'm not a fan, and won't be coming back. On my wuto finding a good pho place in south Austin.

    Dynamite Shrimp
    Melanie R.

    I love the banh mi! I always order mine with lemongrass grilled tofu and extra veg. Mom loves the dynamite shrimp. It's on the appetizer menu but she orders it as a meal. I tried their vegan pho but I thought the broth had a weird flavor. Still, nice attempt to making the menu more vegan friendly. My family has been going to this location since it opened. We have our favorites and they're done well. The takeout holds up for the most part except the spring rolls are wrapped so tightly in plastic wrap that they lose their shape upon opening. Other than that, happy days! I keep going back. That's my review.

    Beef Stew
    Teri K.

    OK it's winter. What do you need? Definitely a big bowl of beef stew from this amazing restaurant. The flavor is intense and amazing. And more hearty option than pho. The staff is friendly, the food is delicious and the value and low prices are appreciated. I usually get some bok choy on the side for veg. Need to come back and try the sushi.

    Pho was ok. Unfortunately, all of the veggies looked like they had been sitting around for days. Sprouts were brown, avocado in the spring rolls was black. Inside of the restaurant smelled of cigarettes.

    Pho with tripe
    Larry E.

    A nice lunch of Pho with beef and tripe. I was especially impressed with the tripe as it was cooked perfectly. The beef was plentiful and not fatty, noodles tasty, broth not too salty. It was a bit bland for my taste, so I did add some heat, but that is just my preference. All of patrons around me seemed to be also enjoying their food. Service was very fast and friendly and as it was during the lunch rush, you could tell they were used to dealing with customers who had to eat fast and get back to work. There are places that are much more elegant, more complex, etc. However, at this price point this is a worthy place to consider. I was very interested in the specialties of the house, but those will have to wait until a return trip is made as I was in a rush myself. I highly recommend eating at the establishment as items like the bean sprouts and sliced jalapeno's were nice and crisp. I will return and update at another time after trying some of the specialties and not when they are in a rush due to the lunch crowd.

The intimate, speakeasy setting is such a vibe! Hidden behind a bookcase tucked away in Holey Moley, Chef Saine and his small team bring you an incredible 14-course experience with top-tier ingredients sourced directly from local farmers in Japan. With only 6 seats per session, this is a cozy experience and one I definitely could not recommend more. QUICK FACTS: - Parking? Yes, located in East Austin, there is plenty of street parking. - Reservations can be tricky to land, but you can grab weeknight ones if you're flexible. - Pricing is about $170/person, with the option to add on drinks and extra bites (3 extra for $45/person). Tax and tip not included. My favorite bites were the maguro blue fin (an incredible start to the night!), the buttery Kanpachi amberjack, and the Wagyu ribeye with salted egg yolk (steak and eggs). Everything is stellar, and the Belgium chocolate ice cream finish with a little serenading from Chef is a great way to wrap up the experience. Service is top notch!

The omakase is beautifully orchestrated by Chef Saine Wong. Each bite more delectable than the last. What a wonderful, special meal. No notes.

Both of the sandos were perfect. The wagyu beef sando had a little bit more flavor but it was slight and both are worth trying. Every roll was enjoyable and I felt like each had a little twist that really made the flavors explosive, like a shaved onion or a crispy puff on the side of the roll. The service was stellar and they were easy to book on OpenTable I also tried the green tea mocktail and found it to be light and refreshing and I was happy that it wasn't super sweet My two favorite items were: 1. The Edamame - which were charred in a way that I feel like I've never experienced it before and had such great flavor. 2. The scallop roll had a thinly sliced shaved truffle on top that made the roll simple yet out of this world. Shout out to the manager who came by just to check in. I always think that is such a sweet gesture.

I particularly went there on a Wednesday to try their A5 Wagyu sandwich, but because I hadn't been there in so long, I wanted to have all the rolls that sounded so amazing on the happy hour menu that I couldn't even get to the sandwich. Every single role we had was absolutely off the charts. They even had a Toro role on happy hour for $10 which was such a steal. The service and ambience was also as usual impeccable. Can't wait to come back here to try the sandwich on another Wednesday

It was a dreary Friday afternoon but you could not tll that from the folks sitting at the bar enjoying their lives in Uchiko. From the moment we sat at the bar, our bartender was so friendly and welcoming. He gave us a copy of the lunch menu and then I realized why this spot was the spot to have a long Friday lunch. There are awesome lunch specials and a lunchtime happy hour. There is nothing quite like being on vacation, ordering amazing sushi, and pairing it with a delicious wine that costs $5 with one of your girlfriends - like truly, that is the good life. Our bartender hooked us up with a surprise order of 4 different nigiri - all were awesome. He even sent us a savory mushroom skewer and a complimentary dessert. We had originally wanted their Kinoko nigiri but it's only on the dinner menu which is why he sent us something similar from the lunch menu. I got to try the white wine on the lunch menu as well as the lychee martini (just $7). Since it was raining, we got "stuck" in Uchiko for quite the long lunch, but it was absolutely fabulous.

So good the chili flavor is nice and has depth to it and not very spicy. More flavorful and goes so well together w the crunchy scallion texture on the soft fish Hirame usuzukuri- 4/5 - it was good but i could skip it. Flavor was really nice and light. The plum flavor was very distinct. But based on personal preference liked the hamachi more Ora king salmon- 4.7/5- very good the lemon flavor was so nice. The only thing is i felt the nigiris had too much wasabi at the end and the sizes are quite tiny Salmon toro (belly)- 4.7/5- really good. Same as above a little too much wasabi at the end and small size. Like the ora king more Hamachi Apple- 5/5 nice sweetness in the beginning from the apple and then a little bit of spice later on. Really enjoyed this one a lot lighter Kudamono 3/5- the banana is interesting and pleasant in texture but i would say overall compared to the other rolls. Tastes more average and familiar to a typical roll youd get elsewhere Soto 2.0- 5/5 really good had a nice depth of flavor.This and the hamachi were the favorites Uni pasta- 5/5- really enjoyed the depth and flavor. Less on the uni side and more a creamy and thick taste that is really good Risotto- 5/5 - very good and freshly warm
