Uchi, Japanese restaurant in South Austin, US
Uchi is a Japanese restaurant located in a renovated residential building on South Lamar Boulevard with multiple dining spaces and a sushi counter. The kitchen serves fresh seafood and inventive Japanese dishes prepared by skilled chefs.
The restaurant was opened in 2003 by chef Tyson Cole, bringing non-traditional Japanese cooking to Austin. It blends local ingredients with classic Japanese preparation methods.
The name translates to 'house' in Japanese, matching the residential building where it operates. Diners can watch chefs work at the open counter while they eat.
It helps to book ahead since seating is limited and the restaurant fills up regularly. Diners should allow enough time to enjoy the full experience.
Each evening the team prepares a special menu based on the best available ingredients of the day. The chef personally selects which dishes and ingredients to feature at each service.
