Definitely worth a visit. Diverse menu with many favorites. This is good stuff! Beautiful interior and great menu. Presentation is great. Edamame was great and Brussel spouts. Recommend sharing and exploring full menu with group. read more

How offended would you be if you arrived with your friends, *completely sober*, to celebrate a birthday only to be told when you're seated that you can't order a round of drinks until you first order food. When you ask your waiter for an explanation, he tells you he was told by management that you were not to be served without food, but can't tell you why beyond that. When your appetizers are brought to the table, you are told that you *still* can't order drinks until you order more food. Excuse me....what?! When you repeatedly ask to speak to the manager, you are told that they will come to your table and address the issue, but they never have the courtesy (or respect) to do so. How would you feel? According to a Google review from 2 months ago, this is not the first time Uchi has done this. They profiled a man who was limping and had recently had a stroke as 'intoxicated' (even though he hadn't been drinking) and also refused to serve him. I'd be willing to bet it was the same manager on duty that night. Obviously this person should not be in a customer-facing management role because they make terrible decisions, throw their wait staff under the bus, and are too much of a coward to stand behind the decisions they make. It is literally the manager's job to SAY IT TO MY FACE. There were a myriad of choices that could have been made that would have addressed whatever imaginary issue management had with our (let me repeat) COMPLETELY SOBER group that wouldn't have ruined our evening and made us feel completely disrespected - the worst possible choice being how they actually handled it. I'd also like to note without further comment that we were a diverse group of friends, and let you make whatever assumptions you would like from that. Cheers. May the next time you dine out be at a place that treats you with respect and has a full bar. read more

Still a great spot with some of the best sushi I've had in Dallas. Tried one of their desserts last night (it was passion fruit and something else, helpful I know) and it was amazing. Be prepared to spend a lil when you go here - but it's worth it, trust me. read more

Uchi Dallas - Japanese Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I am sorry if I am being too demanding but when I make a reservation for a service which I am about to spend hundreds of dollars on, I would like to be seated within 5 minutes of my reservation time and not to wait 25 or 30 minutes at the door. The excuse? " The person before you ordered a second desert"!! Well, I did not make the reservation with the person before me I made it with Uchi and I should not have to spend 30 minutes of my time standing so the person can eat a second desert. Bad management. read more

It was a special occasion, we decided to go out on a Monday evening to have a personal time together while also just having an early week kick off to festivities. Our waitress (her name escapes me) was passionate and attentive to our requests and the ambiance was more along the lines of 'Dallas' casual. What began to confuse me was the pace of food and the amount of times we spoke to our waitress. She was excellent but after awhile, it seemed as if she had gone elsewhere so we were just receiving dishes from less enthusiastic or passionate servers -- while they may not be viewed as pivotal to the experience, I believe that I shouldn't feel disconnected from the server, dish and restaurant. At a point I felt like I was waiting to leave as dishes piled up and there was no pacing. I believe the biggest crime was showing up on a Monday. At most I enjoyed the first half and as things began to trail together, I began to lose more and more interest - and I love food. read more

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. read more

I was really looking forward to trying Uchi after seeing so many high reviews. I personally prefer sushi rolls over sashimi or nigiri, but I didn't take the time to check the menu thoroughly before going (that's on me). When I got there, I realized the menu is more focused on sashimi and nigiri, and they only had a few sushi roll options. I went ahead and ordered two rolls, which is usually enough for me, but sadly, both were disappointing. They were dry, lacked flavor, and just didn't hit the mark. Given the hype, I expected much better. read more

Ordered: Brussels Sprouts (~$10) Hama Chili (~$24): yellowtail, ponzu, thai chili, orange supreme Hot Rock (~$20): Westholme wagyu beef and ponzu Shag Roll (~$16): tempura roll with salmon and avocado Negitoro Toyosu Maki (~$18): fatty bluefin tuna, charred negi, and truffle oil Kinoko Nabe (~$22): seasonal mushroom, koshihikari rice, tentsuyu, and egg yolk Bluefin Akami Nigiri (~$15/piece): tuna loin Sake Toro Nigiri (~$6/piece): salmon belly Fried Milk ($14): vanilla custard, salted fudge, and toasted blondie Warm Banana Cake ($14): chicory, buckwheat, and white coffee ice cream Aya's take: First time in Dallas and had to dine at Uchi! Despite being a Wednesday after 8pm, we had to wait 45 mins for a table for 2 even though they didn't seem that busy. Most dishes here are small and meant for sharing but this turned out to be plenty of food for the two of us. The stand outs were The Brussels Sprouts, Hama Chili, and Hot Rock. All the sushi pieces were delicious; my favorite was the Negitoro Toyosu Maki roll which was extremely fresh and buttery with hints of truffle in every bite. The Kinoko Nabe could be skipped; it had a slight bitter taste and just didn't have a pleasant flavor/texture profile. Between the 2 desserts we got, the Fried Milk is the must try! The vanilla custard filling is unreal and so delectable. I'm a sucker for banana but the Warm Banana Cake didn't blow me away at all. All in all, Uchi offers an elevated Japanese dining experience and you'll leave feeling satisfied. read more

Oh, how the mighty have fallen. I guess this is what happens when you become a chain restaurant.... For context, I've been to Uchi five times now, and last night made six. What brought me for the first time in over a year in was a $100 coupon in the mail, which should have been a big red flag. 1. We (two females) arrived for an 8 pm reservation at 7:45 pm and were told to wait, so we sat on the bench in the entry. A group of three men arrived shortly thereafter and said they were checking in for an 8 pm reservation. They were offered "bites from the chef" and escorted to their table as soon as they were finished. They literally never even sat down to wait. We waited several more minutes, and despite some extra (individually plated) "bites from the chef" still remaining at the host stand, there was no invitation for us to enjoy them. 2. Our first dish didn't arrive for about 20 minutes after we put the order in. Our waitress actually came over to apologize that the kitchen was "really backed up" tonight. She also added that she had directed the kitchen to course our dishes in a certain order, but she basically told us that might not happen. Sure enough, one of our hot dishes (wagyu daily special) didn't arrive until after they'd already brought out our first round of fish. 3. Oh and that first round of fish? It was the heavier/richer nigiri, like sake toro. A plating of lighter fish, like yellowtail, was brought out at the end of the meal. Completely backwards. The woman who brought the lighter fish carefully identified each one to me and advised me on the order in which to eat them. However, the man who dropped off the heavier/richer fish named them quickly, didn't bother to identify which was which, and immediately walked away without telling me what order to eat them in. 4. Let's go back to that wagyu daily special I mentioned. That was the wagyu tataki, $33.50 for what's essentially a thinly sliced single bite of meat. I'm fine with that if the slivers are worth the price, but they weren't. The meat was overcooked and was served with broccolini instead of bok choy. No explanation or apology for the substitution was ever given. 5. The machi cure ($23.50) was sloppily put together -- uneven cuts of fish, some huge chunks, some tiny slivers -- and was arranged so unevenly that we ended up having to compile our own bites by hand rather than simply grabbing the chips as instructed. 6. Food was taking so long to come out of the kitchen that multiple different people seated on the patio were frequently stepping indoors and looking around trying to find someone to ask about where their food was. (Our table was right in front of the entrance to the patio, so we frequently had people sort of weirdly standing next to us trying to find some help.) 7. The suzuki yaki ($20.50), a grilled striped bass, arrived with the instruction to "crack the skin with your fork." I dutifully tried and failed as the very-not-crisp, very-soggy skin caved inward and splayed the fish in half. It definitely had been sitting under a heat lamp for too long. 8. They don't have foie gras on the menu anymore. I'm not going to get into a debate about the ethics of foie gras here except to say that I've been told that at least one US producer (Hudson Valley Foie Gras) is known for their humane treatment of the ducks (free-range, hand-fed, NOT force-fed). But, do your own research and make your own decisions there. I'm just here to let you know that foie gras is off the menu, and I'm a little sad about it. 9. Usually when I'm eating at Uchi with just one other person and order the Fried Milk ($14), the person taking my order asks if we want to add an extra milk ball since there are only three (because of course there are only three). We didn't get asked that this time, and I forgot to mention it, so then we had to sadly decide who got the third milk ball (they can't be shared because it's liquid inside). But that's arguably not the worst part, which is that it was served without the advertised toasted blondie. It arrived instead on a small pile of chocolate that had the texture of pot-de-creme. The flavors were just...boring. 10. The fish quality just wasn't nearly as good as it has been on previous visits, which I would attribute to a particular change. If you listen carefully, you'll hear the waitstaff describe the toyosu selection -- which used to be flown in daily from Japan -- as their "weekly" selection. (#tariffs!) So they're no longer getting fresh fish daily. In fact, you might be eating fish that's a week old. OVERALL: I get that times are hard, especially for a business built on offering daily fresh fish from Japan. But the quality has suffered GREATLY with weekly fish deliveries. Furthermore, the kitchen has become a disorganized mess -- numerous menu substitutions, with no heads-up and no apology, and sending courses wildly out of order. All of this is frankly unacceptable when you're paying these prices. Sayōnara, Uchi. read more

Uchi Dallas... what a stunning restaurant, full of southern charm and incredible hospitality. My friend and I met up in Dallas for dinner and decided to try Uchi. We didn't have a reservation on a Monday night, but the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the host and offered seats at the bar with no wait at all. As soon as we sat down, our server and the sushi chef behind the bar (I think his name was David--apologies if I'm wrong!) welcomed us right away. He was funny, kind, and really took care of us. We went with the Omakase, and I'll be honest I was expecting to still be a little hungry afterward... but I left completely full and incredibly satisfied. Every dish was beautifully plated, expertly crafted, and absolutely delicious. The service was flawless from start to finish, and the atmosphere just made everything feel even more special. I'm heading back to Dallas in August, and Uchi is already at the top of my list. I seriously can't wait to return. Love you guys! read more

This is the third Uchi location I've been to, and the least impressed I've been. The ambiance is that of a date night spot, similar to the other locations. The difference is organization and speed. We ordered several rolls and nigiri, and twice an order was forgotten. We would also be waiting 10-15 minutes in between rolls. The restaurant wasn't packed so I was confused as to why the service was so slow. The flavor was of course amazing, but I wouldn't come back with a date because of how slow and disorganized the food service was. I didn't have that problem in Denver nor Scottsdale, so I know it can be better. The portions also felt smaller than I remember. I don't know if it was tariffs, but I was very underwhelmed. read more

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 Austin This 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 read more

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. read more

After hearing all the hype around this place, I have to say that while the fish quality was top tier, the Uchi Omakase experience left a lot to be desired. There was no show stopper or item that really left me wanting to come back or even beyond satisfied. In terms of ambience, the restaurant itself was cozy and our server was attentive and friendly. However the value for money just cannot be justified. My partner and I spent over $500 and for that price were both expecting to be blown away. Can definitely get a better omakase experience at a less mainstream restaurant. read more

Tried the omakase here, and it was pretty good. Really enjoyed the hot stone dish, salmon nigiri, and the hand rolls! The cocktails made with sake were also fantastic and refreshing!!

Uchi is a wonderful dining establishment with an excellent staff and beautiful decor. We chose the full Omakase dinner option. It was a good effort, but underwhelming when compared to Sushi By Scratch. Execution and precision both matter with Omakase service. Uchi's version seems random and lacks personality. It just isn't that special... but, THE FOOD IS OUTSTANDING. I will be ordering tons of Sushi and Sashimi from this place (soon and often). Even their hot dishes are amazing! Uchi is definitely a winning choice. read more

I was utterly blown away by Uchi! My wife and I went for her birthday to try something new. We've heard great things from others, but we weren't sure what to expect. We had a reservation which many others recommend. We asked the waiter to help with recommendations and we built our own meal from the menu. We tried about nine different items. The most standout items had to be the hot plate and the Brussels sprouts (amazing!!). While those were standouts, we enjoyed each of our items. Between the presentation, food, and atmosphere, it was an extremely enjoyable experience. My wife and I would highly recommend Uchi to anyone who is looking for a place to celebrate any event or just enjoy a tasty experience. read more

Ordered the Sushi box which is pretty pricey. I ordered the $65 box and they have one for $95. I also ordered the Edamame and the Brussels sprouts which were delicious. Everything was delicious and fresh. It's just that n the pricey side. You can still get great sushi for cheaper at different spots. I didn't eat in so I am not sure about their in-house service but they to-go service was good. read more

One of the best sushi experiences I have ever had. Happy hour here is a major game changer! Hubby and I had the omikase dinner and our friends just chose their own menu items. I mean........EVERY LITTLE BITE WAS DIVINE. The oysters with tomato jam, celery relish and thai basil were a perfect start to the meal. The short rib is an absolute flavor bomb and the eggplant nigiri is incredibly simple, yet perfect. I wish I would have written down everything we had but I wanted to just enjoy the journey and we sure did! The pork belly with aji amarillo, corn relish, pickled blackberry was a completely unexpected flavor combination and the pork belly melted in our mouths. There were also absolutely sublime nigiri bites of salmon toro, tuna, ocean bass and two perfect tuna handrolls. The hama chili with yellowtail, ponzu, thai chili and orange supreme was probably one of the most interesting dishes I have ever had the opportunity to enjoy. The sake is outstanding as well. The service is impeccable here and Jerry was very helpful (I don't know if it was Jared or Jerry but he was awesome!) The atmosphere is fitting for the dining experience and we just loved everything about this place. read more

Fun experience! We went for my birthday and it had a very strong curated selection of sushi. I would not approach this as a place to fill up at but to try different types of really high end sushi.

Uchi is a must visit when it comes to upscale fine dining. They've mastered the art of fresh caught flavors mixed with various elements that truly make each plate shine. The service is absolutely incredible. Very professional and knowledgeable staff that clearly present each dish with full details as well as the proper way to consume each dish for maximum enjoyability. Even the complimentary valet service up front took great care of our car and arrived in a timely manner. The place is decorated beautifully and has such an inviting and buzzing ambiance. Some of my recommended highlight that we ordered were the Hama chili, Walu Walu, Unagi, Gyutoro, Akami Te, scallop nigiri, and the fried milk dessert. The final bill came out to about as much as a Costco trip but you should definitely celebrate a special milestone occasion here or try their happy hour if you can get a seat. I would say this place beats Nobu in most facets with their service as well as innovative flavors. read more

What an incredibly unique, pleasurable experience. From the complimentary valet (how awesome!!) to the greeting staff and hosts at the front. We felt so welcomed the moment we walked in and like they were actually excited to have us in with our little one (unfortunately, not so common in places). The server was incredibly helpful with helping us decipher the menu. We ended to doing the Somakase which, everything recommended was so delicious! I'm usually a cooked sushi gal but man did the nigiri especially taste like a ratatouille experience with all the flavors exploding. Perfect date spot or honestly family place. I love how versatile it is. read more

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.

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.

I had an amazing meal here on a recent Friday night. Make reservations, I made mine a couple weeks in advance and still ran into limitations. We sat outside and I loved the setting. We tried a bit of everything and wasn't disappointed, we mostly went with recommendations but the meals were well flavored with very fresh fish - this isn't a place that will have soy sauce on the table as the fish and fresh flavors are all you need. Only issue was pace of meal...it took nearly 2 hours for all of our food to arrive (plates were spread out but there was a major lag at the end). Our waitress was super friendly and I appreciate her awareness of the delay by providing free dessert. Highly recommend fried milk! read more

Delicious. Especially since the price is also a pretty penny. Went straight for the good eats, no need to waste money on insignificant dishes. Foie gras - sweet, savory, soft with slight outer crisp. Well hidden gamey (?) smell and was easy to eat Negitoro roll - delish. Toro with charred green onions, truffle in soy sauce. Great combo of luxurious flavors. A5 wagyu with caviar - melts in your mouth delish. Would recommend for sure Short rib nigiri - tender but was overshadowed by the wagyu Inari roll - crispy, chewy, such a fun play on what I perceive to be a basic ingredient. Wakame aioli was fun too Fried milk dessert- cool concept. Was a little too full to actually enjoy the dish but each part of the dish was so fun. Overall definitely recommend this place. Sit at the counter if you can, Chef Taylor was amazing. Would recommend going a la carte instead of omakase. read more

I had a near perfect experience at Uchi. Service was stellar and each dish was great. Fish was fresh and flavorful, nearly melt-in-your-mouth which is expected of a high end sushi restaurant. There is a lot of creativity and melding of flavors and textures in their dishes which helps set Uchi apart from other sushi restaurants. My favorite dish of the night was the scallop under their hot tastings menu. The scallop was seared perfectly and paired with a beurre blanc sauce and green tomatoes. The mixture of all these flavors along with the sunflower furikake was to die for. Everything else was phenomenal and there are several must try desserts to end the night with - fried milk, coconut tapioca, and honey toast are some I would recommend. The main negatives would be the size of each cut of fish and the price for each item. Nigiri is much smaller compared to many other places, especially for what you are paying. But if you can look past this point then Uchi is a must try experience. read more

Absolutely loved the Houston location so couldn't wait to try Dallas! The set up was much more open and comfortable at this location where Houston felt more crowded in a smaller area. The only negative was the dining room got visibly smoky when tables would order the a5. Even tables across the room would cause smoke which ruined the smells and ambiance of the restaurant as we experienced our omakase. Hopefully the restaurant can get a better ventilation or an inventive plating system to help manage this problem. The waitstaff is extremely attentive though at times the food was slow. We spent a total of 2.5 hours dining and much was spent waiting between courses. The allergy friendliness was impeccable and every dish brought out the staff listed the allergy free title and what modifications were made which reassured me of my safe experience. Do not skip dessert! This was one of the highlights of our meal! read more

Wow wow wow!!!!! Moving to Texas 10 years ago, I've always heard about Uchi. While I don't mind spending a little more on food, I've been waiting for the right person to have this experience with. My best friend is visiting me from California and we wanted to celebrate her birthday with a nice dinner. There are plenty of great sushi restaurants in LA, so I wasn't sure if this would meet her sushi standards. We searched for a reservation for Austin the week before but there were none. Luckily, we were heading to Dallas and they had a 545 opening for bar seating. Boy, what a treat this was. The booking online was easy peasy. Once we arrived to the restaurant, valet was complimentary, another plus. They started us off with a palette cleaner, Which was some kind of blackberry mint sorbet--YUM! I'd eat a bowl of that if I could. We chose a couple of starters (madai crudo, smoked beets). HIGHLY recommend madai crudo--so light and refreshing with a punch of flavor. I also enjoyed the foie gras and uni. Uni was very sweet. We did 12 piece chefs tasting menu, curated by Chef Daniel who is SPECTACULAR. He elevated the whole experience x10. I recommend sitting at sushi bar when possible as you get to interact with the chef, I've only had great experiences when doing so. Plus, it's so fun to see how they artfully prepare the food. I also loved the vibe and decor of the restaurant. You won't be disappointed with anything you get here. read more
