Best New Restaurants in Phoenix, Arizona, Spring 2025 | Eater Phoenix

"The buzziest Phoenix-area restaurant of the year thus far is Austin-based chef-owner Tyson Cole’s seventh rendition of Uchi (“home” in Japanese), a high-end Japanese restaurant whose cozy space is softened by curving wood-paneled walls and hanging lamps. The extensive menu features cool tastings (think crudo, carpaccio, and usuzukuri), hot tastings (wagyu beef hot rock, oak-grilled escolar), daily specials, rare fish specialties from Japan’s famed Toyosu Market, nigiri and sashimi, and a 10-course, ultra-seaonal omakase menu (market price)." - McConnell Quinn
