"Uchi is a crowd pleaser among handcore sushi heads and those who just want to drink sake and eat wagyu off a hot rock. The private dining room is a comfortable, wood-paneled spot that can be configured for groups of 12 to 24. Customize the menu so there’s something for everyone, and make sure there’s plenty of buttery nigiri. If your evening has an A/V component, a wall slider opens to reveal a 65-inch TV." - kevin gray
"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

"This Austin export, known for its inventive dishes and seriously quality fish, has become a beloved part of Dallas’s sushi scene. The chef tastings, both vegetarian and omnivore-friendly, are worth a splurge. The vibe in here is sushi but make it modern and hip — the restaurant collaborates on monthly ramen features with local chefs in its upstairs area, while dishes like madai crudo with Japanese sea bream and Asian pears or wagyu tataki that turns a bite into a steak dinner are on the menu. Do not skip the famous fried milk dessert." - Rachel Pinn
"Founded by James Beard Award‑winning chef Tyson Cole out of Austin, Uchi offers non-traditional sushi often garnished in unusual and thrilling ways. Reserve a seat at the sushi bar, dining room, or patio. Custom local bites that can only be had at Uchi in Dallas, with cold or hot plates featuring fish, steak, oysters, and an omakase menu. Save room for dessert – the fried milk is legendary." - Courtney E. Smith
