Excellent food and service!!! Modern music surrounds the place, in good volume to be able to chat with your date. A bit dark lighting. Sakes are awesome, from hot to cold, with gold or fruity!!! Otoro fatty tuna is a must… like butter melting on your mouth… A reservation recommended!!! Parking is difficult. … More
The food was extraordinarily fantastic but the service was not great at all. We waited for a long time every time we needed our waiter. He was always no where to be found. In fact, we don’t know why he insisted on serving us because the other waiter was serving the surrounding tables whereas he’s always elsewhere. We waited for a long time to get soy sauce. We waited yet another long time to get a spoon in the end we gave up and shared a spoon. We waited for a long time to get the hot tea refilled. We waited for a long time to order extra food. We tried to ask for help from another waiter but he chose to ignore us. We really didn’t expect this kind of service from a place like Uchi. Second visit at the sushi bar and the service was slightly better. Our sushi chef was abit quiet whereas the other sushi chef Albert was funny. Better experience this time I guess.
The food is downright phenomenal. The vibes are real. Service was amazing. The flavor pairings are very unconventional, but so delicious. For instance, whoever thought to fry some yuca, put some yellowtail on top, then add in some apples and raisins, idk who you are, but thank you. The wagyu tartare was the star of our table's night, but literally every single thing they brought out on the omakase was unique and so scrumptious. Our server, Jamie, was an absolute delight. If you have taste buds (and some dollars,) Uchi is a must try in Houston.
