This was my first time at Uchiko. It exceeded expectations. My guest & I dined Omakase style and the selections were Ahhmazing. There were only a couple that we didn’t like. When we didn’t fully enjoy our server offered replacements-OUTSTANDING service! We did a weekend happy hour which pretty quiet. Parking was easy complimentary valet or self-park. Ummm, yes of course I recommend.

It’s been a minute since the last time we went to Uchi for dinner. Was not disappointed. Great valet service across the street, ticket validated by Uchi and we still tipped the great service. We arrived early after attending the Rockets game and were sent to the wine bar to enjoy drinks before dinner. Outstanding service and support. Other restaurants would just have you wait. Dinner was marvelous and the chef brought out an assortment of options based on our tastes and requests. Taste, quality and experience was all 5 star. Loved it.
