Exceptional experience in every way. Service was impeccable and all the food was amazing, top quality ingredients and wonderful flavors. Your wine list needs substantial improvement. The bottles are far too expensive. Please start offering wines of a lesser price. In addition to the expensive wines you guys are marking them up extensively, 4X.

This is one of my favorite spots in ATX. The fish tacos are amazing, and the snapper al pastor!!!! Their chips and salsa are also amazing. They have great cocktails. The place is modern and beautiful it reminds me of the Yucatán. Next time we sit by the windows I’ll ask them to lower the shades, the sun was a bit strong. Wonderful service and great food!

First time: Made reservations about two months in advance— the place was packed! Everyone was either celebrating something or spending time with loved ones. A great atmosphere! The food was outstanding, a great selection of wines and liquors at the bar. Service was faster than expected, especially considering how busy the place was. Reasonable prices all-around and excellent experience from the staff and the atmosphere.

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.
