"Given the breadth of great Japanese restaurants in LA, the arrival of this upscale spot from Austin, Texas something of a head-scratcher. But all it took was one meal to put any preconceived notions to rest. Not only is Uchi’s sleek, stunning space a perfect addition to Weho’s client dinner spot roster, the food is fantastic. The menu is large—probably a little too large—so we recommend concentrating mostly on the nigiri, then adding in small plates like tempura, daikon salad with crispy rice, and smoked yellowtail on a crispy yuca tostada." - garrett snyder
