Uchibā Austin: Reviews & Ratings
I enjoyed the food at Uchiba! The quality is just as good as Uchi on South Lamar, but Uchiba offers a more spacious setting and easier reservations. We loved the fresh sashimi and the sake recommended by our server, as well as the wagyu and desserts. Everything was excellent, and we cant wait to return soon!
Everything about our experience here was exceptional. The vibe, service, and especially the food were all amazing. Brooke was our server and I cant say enough good things about her. I highly recommend the 72 hour marinated short rib and the fatty tuna w caviar. Will definitely be back soon.

Very tasty meal. I likely would not get the sliders again. They are bigger than they look. I would focus on the smaller bites and some sushi. The Sea Beam and Tuna sushi were delicious and melt in your mouth heavenly.
This is easily becoming one of my favorite solo date spots! Ive sat at the sushi bar both times Ive been and really enjoyed my experiences. I wish I could remember the names of my server and chef the first time I went but last time I had Tristan and Corbin on a busy SXSW and everything was wonderful! Looking forward to going back!

The menu is nothing short of artistry, featuring a selection of fresh sashimi and creative nigiri that captivates the senses. I was particularly drawn to the sake toro nigiri—with its melt-in-your-mouth salmon belly—and the hamachi nigiri, bursting with flavor and showcasing the freshness that Uchibā is known for. Each bite is a testament to their meticulous attention to quality.
For those looking to indulge further, the chirashi masu is a beautifully presented bowl of chef's selection sashimi atop sushi rice, with cucumber, avocado, and a hint of shiso, providing a symphony of textures and tastes. The kaluga hybrid caviar adds a touch of opulence, showcasing earthy umami notes that dance on the palate.
