    Sushi presentation and taste was amazing. The cocktails we tried were perfectly crafted. The best part of the evening was the exceptional service from Jennifer, our waitress. She was extremely knowledgeable on every aspect of the food and drink menu, both of which are massive. Jennifer was also very attentive without being intrusive. A very rare skill. Her recommendations were spot on which made our evening even better. Jennifer genuinely made us feel like special guests. Even though the prices were a bit high, the food service quality will bring us back again and again!!

    Another exquisite visit to Uchi. The service was fabulous from the moment we walked in. We let our server Jessica give us some guidance on our menu for the evening, and her recommendations did not disappoint. The sake tom kha was delicious, with a flavor packed tom kha reduction. We also had an ocean trout nigiri on special that was so delicious, we ordered seconds. We’ll be back!

    Overall, as usual, another fantastic addition to the Uchi family of restaurants. Outstanding. The food, the service, the menu - impeccable. The one thing that I found surprising was (IMO) the lack luster of the ambiance. I have always loved the aesthetics of his restaurants - this one fell flat to me. Our server, Anthony, was fabulous! I’m partial to Uchi and Uchiko.
