Best Japanese Restaurants in Lakewood / White Rock Lake

Consistently the very best sushi. Everything is super fresh. So many unique and oh so beautiful choices. Don’t want sushi? They have amazing hot and cold dishes you don’t want to miss. Richard was our server and took really great care of us. Many staff members buzzing around the dining room delivering plates, clearing dishes, refilling water, and asking how everything is tasting.

Overall super solid and will return. Ken was our waiter, and he (and the rest of the staff) were really great. Thoughts on what we had: ▪️MANGO MEZCALRITA: expensive smoky orange juice ▪️ LUCA PARETTI PROSECCO: really good ▪️ PRETZEL BREAD: super cute and yummy ▪️ TUNA TARTARE: solid and would order again ▪️ CATCH ROLL: loved ▪️ FILET SKEWER: lots of good flavor, might get again ▪️ MEDITERRANEAN BRANZINO: didn’t finish and wouldn’t order again but probably personal taste here. The lemon was strong in the rice and the butter was def present with the fish ▪️ TRUFFLE MUSHROOM SPAGHETTI: super yummy, friend said shrimp didn’t add to the dish

Go to the wine bar and let them guide you on a tour of Uchis best eats. Zack was our guy and while I was hesitant at first, his selections were incredible. My son and I devoured so many incredible bites - we were in sushi bliss. Not inexpensive but I also thought that for high end sushi, it was a very good value.

I've been only once before but invited a friend to join me last evening to celebrate the holidays. We asked our server for recommendations on food and they were spot on. Everything was delicious. The atmosphere is perfect. Mark

While the food is always great, we opted to try sitting at the sushi bar as we always have gotten a table. Poor decision! Service was not good. The bar tender was our server whom largely neglected us. Took 40 minutes for her to come back from drink order to meal order. Don’t sit at the sushi bar unless you’re not hungry!
