"Uchiko knows what they're doing when it comes to creating unique dishes that fuse unlikely flavors. I am quite adventurous when it comes to food and love discovering food pairings that are rare and satisfying. The staff is very knowledgeable when it comes to what they are serving and has always been so friendly and kind; especially when it comes to celebrating special occasions and making recommendations. A must visit."

"Not as good as a year ago. The Brussels sprouts were very salty and over sauced. Out of the tasting dishes we tried 1/2 were very good the est average. For this pricey restuarant, all he dishes should wow you. They did a year ago - not now."

"It was good, fun. Great reasonably priced bottle of wine, lots of fun and interesting food options. But it was very similar to Uchi, without the top top notch quality. Plus they were out of the brussels sprouts, ridiculous because they are so popular. But it was good and a great way to spend a birthday."

"I am deaf so I cannot be accountable for sound level at uchiko. Other than that, it was so outstanding, I was able to be assigned to a sushi chef- Piter. I had him three times in a row. He's a really sweet sushi chef even I can tell a difference myself. I am a chef myself and he reached more than what he can do to make sure to make my dining experience memorable. He made sure I had lamated index cards to explain each dishes I order from uchiko. I assume that's what I am missing out from servers when they bring dishes to our table for what we have. They certainly compensated for that. Our server was extremely sweet. I lost my recipet but I know all uchiko servants do that anyway. She gave us a free dish. DESSERT. Uchiko is the place to be!"
