    We thoroughly enjoyed the nine course dinner for two on the patio during happy hour. The food and service were both very good, very fairly priced and lived up to all the rave reviews. I was most certainly impressed! I knew the downtown Uchiba was a more relaxed environment that their other two Austin locations. As we walked through the restaurant to the patio, I was surprised by how beautiful and upscale it was. Unfortunately, the patio did not match the interior vibe. It was an absolutely beautiful day in Austin so we were eager to enjoy the patio. We felt like we were sitting in a closed off basement. The street view was blocked, the decor was sparse (and not in a cool way!) and it was hot with no air flow. It probably didn't help that we were seated separately and with our backs to the other people on the patio, so it truly felt isolating, rather than private. The server did check to see if she could cut the fan on, which she eventually did, otherwise we would have had to move inside. If I ever return, I will definitely request an indoor table.

    Top notch service from Sebastian!! And all of the other servers we have had there!DELICIOUS food!! A more extensive menu and with more variety than just the standard sushi restaurant! Prices are in line with other fine dining sushi restaurants. Ambiance is good, not great. Good aesthetics but in a small space with tables almost uncomfortably close. Very good wine menu with selections of good wines for all price points. Our guests loved the cocktail menu, especially the espresso martinis on the happy hour menu. This is definitely one of, if not our favorite sushi/Japanese restaurants in all of the Austin metro area!!

    A tad expensive but fantastic. Our waitress Zoya was first class flawless. This was the best meal I’ve had since L’Arpege in Paris years ago. High praise but we’ll deserved, especially since we’re not te ally sushi people . I’m sure some purists might argue, but to me the flavors were lovely and exciting and the fish seemed high quality. The dedication to excellent, comfortable service was abundantly evident. Hard to believe this is kind-locked Austin but it is. We’ll done!

    The salad with miso dressing was good, but a little large for two people to share. Same with the yuca chips with hummus, which was absolutely delicious! Feel free to order it for a three or four person table share. The short rib dumplings were excellent and the black rice ice cream was surprisingly amazing.

    This intimate restaurant has a surprisingly chill vibe. The food is fantastic, from the hot rock to sashimi. The classic sushi knocked out socks off, but they have more creative items on the menu. Everyone is busy, but attentive and the decor is incredible.
