    We were visiting for my husband's birthday and we had a fabulous time. The food was amazing as always but this was the first time we had a server who offered the server-led omakase menu. Her name was Ivy and we had such a joyful meal, telling her our preferences and chatting about ingredients. Uchiko has been one of our favorite places for special occasions, and we will be back again for sure!

    Ambiance is really nice. Simple wood furniture with nice lighting. We sat at the sushi counter and had an amazing time. We ordered a spicy tuna roll, two king salmon nigiri, a salmon hand roll, a yellowtail roll, and edamame. Cocktails are amazing. We ordered the red dragon and a birds of paradise. The birds of paradise was AMAZING. Our server was great as well. Overall a really nice experience.
