Upscale Japanese farmhouse dining with creative sushi & desserts
"Chef de cuisine Steven Attwood teams with Garrison Brothers Distillery for a rustic, sushi-and-whiskey omakase titled Hai (Hospitality) takes Hye (Texas) on Thursday, May 22 at 6:45 p.m. The 10-course menu includes items such as blackened cod with a spiced miso marinade, charred snow pea leaves, and xo beurre monté; smoked pork jowl with chicken fat hot sauce, compressed celery, and koji cream; and hirame crudo with chayote squash, pickled strawberries, and rhubarb zu. The meal is paired with six distillery drink courses, and tickets are $250 per person with a two-person minimum booking." - Courtney E. Smith
"Executive pastry chef Ariana Quant leads the dessert programs at Rosedale’s Uchiko, Zilker’s Uchi, and Downtown’s Uchiba, turning each dish into a study in contrasts and flavor. Think jasmine cream laced with cilantro granita, pineapple, and honey tuile, or honey toast topped with cashew pralines. The menus evolve with the seasons, but creativity stays consistent. All of these Hai Hospitality spots blend modern elegance with understated cool, and, of course, offer that legendary fried milk." - Darcie Duttweiler
"Fried milk has been on the dessert list in some form or another since Uchiko opened in 2010, and while we can’t promise the version you’re going to try will look exactly the same, you can usually expect something like a very light chocolate mousse, Cap’n Crunch cereal, toasted milk ice cream, and a few balls of fried milk. No matter the form, you’ll want to order it to see why it's never left the menu." - nicolai mccrary
"Uchiko’s refined yet relaxed private dining spaces are ideal for intimate gatherings of 12 to 24 people. The Rosedale restaurant is renowned for its inventive take on traditional Japanese farmhouse fare, featuring delicate nigiri, playful tasting menus, and pristine sashimi. Expect thoughtful details, such as curated beverage pairings, advanced audio and video capabilities, and custom tasting menus. The same refined experience can also be found at its sister locations: Uchi on South Lamar, with its serene, contemporary vibe, and Uchiba downtown, which adds a playful, cocktail-forward twist." - Darcie Duttweiler
"An Austin-born Japanese restaurant with a reputation for elevated takes on familiar formats; it offers a short-rib sando made with wagyu braised for 72 hours and priced around $28, positioning it as a high-end, labor-intensive sandwich option." - Brittany Britto Garley
