"A decade since its debut, Uchi is as fresh as ever. Dates, business dinners, happy hours—whatever brings you in, you will thrive here. Perfectly portioned bites of sea bass and goldeneye snapper from Tokyo’s famed Toyosu market sit atop loose bricks of well-seasoned rice. Everything comes dressed and ready to go, so resist the urge to ask for soy sauce. If you prefer a more boisterous experience that adds charcoal-grilled skewers and liquor to the menu, try sister restaurant Uchiba upstairs." - kevin gray
