"Offers artistic to-go boxes with a romantic touch." - Rebecca Roland

"Some date nights call for cozy meals at neighborhood bistros. Other times, scoring a table at the hottest new restaurant in town is the priority. If you’re leaning toward the latter, make the trip to Uchi. The modern, sleek Japanese restaurant in West Hollywood originates from Texas, a state not normally associated with pristine sashimi. But Uchi proves otherwise. The menu is…Texas-sized, but we’d suggest concentrating on the nigiri, then scattering in small plates like tempura, pork belly with pumpkin, and smoked yellowtail on crispy yuca. And feel free to finally wear that daring jacket you bought last year—people here are dressed to impress." - brant cox, sylvio martins
"There is no shortage of great sushi in West Hollywood, which is what made the arrival of this upscale Japanese 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." - brant cox, nikko duren
