Uchiko Plano

Came here to celebrate my birthday and I was thoroughly impressed with the food and service. I have been wanting to check out Uchiko as I am a huge fan of the uchi franchise. They service was outstanding and the sushi chef was awesome to chat with as he was prepping our food fresh. The fish was so fresh and the o toro was like butter. Would definitely recommend to anyone and make sure you end the night with their milk and cereal dessert which literally blew my mind, it was that good.

Omg good! I sat at the bar and had Leo, Michael, and Alicia taking care me. They were the perfect team. They made sure I had everything I needed and kept the drinks flowing! The food was amazing, the presentation was stunning and it was just a great night

This was a disappointing Valentine's dinner. To start, we went all out with the food. My partner ordered a vegetarian omakase and I ordered somakase. You would figure with omakase, a set list of dishes, the food would come out promptly. They did not. At one point, my partner waited 15 minutes before 4 dishes showed up. The food runners and waitresses also didn't bother clearing our table when we had finished a dish. The timing was terrible. One of my partners dishes got cold before he could even take a bite! This is not what I would expect spending hundreds of dollars for a nice dinner. I would excuse this if it was al a carte or a small casual restaurant, but it wasn't. In addition, when we asked for additional silverware, the food runners would just smack it on the table bare without a napkin underneath. We had to pour our own waters, too. I am honestly not too sure why we had a waitress when the food runners were doing all the work. Some of the food runners were clearly overworked and would mumble through explaining the dish and running away. We couldn't even get their attention before they just ran off to drop off the next dish! Don't get me started on some of the dishes. One of my partners dishes was so salty he couldn't eat it! The apple tatin had a crumble on the plate and when I got a bite, another salt bomb! It was almost inedible with how many salt bombs I got in my dish. When I ordered somakase, I expected the chef to prepare unique dishes to my taste. Nope, they just picked items on the menu they thought I would've liked. I could do that myself, I didn't need to do a somakase for the same idea. In addition, when you have a set course meal, you expect an appetizer, entrees, and dessert. Neither the omakase or somakase had dessert as part of the set list so we had to order them ourselves. I have had way better experience and better food at other restaurants for cheaper. I have told all my friends and family to not come, it is a waste of money. Clearly the owners are trying to make a quick buck on something that is supposed to be "exceptional service", something they boast about on their website. When I eat at very nice restaurants, I want to have a chat with either the chefs or my waitress on the food I am eating. I want to know how they cooked it, why they did it. But no, I got a terrible impersonal experience. None of the things above would've honestly bothered me except we paid $400+ and expected the best service and the best food, but it just wasn't there.

Uchiko is just as great as Uchi in Dallas. The ambiance and service were solid, and the scallop was my favorite—so flavorful! We ordered the omakase, which was an excellent choice, but the sushi service was a bit slow, and the dishes felt too spaced out. Dessert was a highlight—the fried milk was perfect. Overall, a great experience with room for small improvements.

We have dined with both Uchi and Uchiko numerous times in Austin and Uchiko in Dallas. I was. Very happy to hear that Uchiko is in W Plano. We stopped in for a happy hour and sat at the bar. The atmosphere is pretty simple and not fancy and doesn't feel very high end. We ordered the signature HH menu of 7 dishes. From fish to beef and finishing with a cheesecake, everything was fantastic. Sushi chef and servers were attentive and seemed to genuinely care. We thoroughly enjoyed the Hama chili and ordered extra. The Gem Lettuce was also a really nice and unique treat. The gyutoro was also amazing and melted in my mouth. Steak with the steak frites probably needed to be seared a little to render the fat more but overall was delicious and a very hearty portion. We will definitely be back.

My husband and I have been to Uchiko about 5 times and I have nothing bad to say about this place. The food is out of this world flavorful and good. I have a lot of favorite dishes but I want to highlight the sea bass. It’s the best sea bass I’ve ever had and I’ve experienced quite a bit. I appreciate that they keep the skin on and incorporate flavors I’ve never had before. As far as dessert is concerned, I love the apple tartin and cheese cake. Y’all, just go and thank me later lol.

Fantastic option in North Dallas, very similar vibes and quality as their sister place Uchi in Dallas but with a larger drink selection. The place is pretty, very lively and comfortable, feels upscale. Atmosphere in general is pretty good. Drinks are great, I had sake and it was pretty good quality. Food is fantastic, many options, super fresh and well prepared. Our itamae was was very friendly and provided great recommendations. Service as expected was also pretty good. Definitely on the higher side for prices but well worth it if you are into Japanese. Will definitely come back.

Uchiko delivered a dining experience unlike any other, turning my meal into a flavorful adventure of discovery. Every dish I sampled was a winner, making it nearly impossible to pick a favorite. If you’re looking for recommendations, the Hamachi Chili (hold the chili for me), the P-38, and any Nigiri of your choice are all excellent bets. But whatever you do, don’t skip the Milk and Cereal dessert—it’s a textural masterpiece with an unforgettable pastry pop that makes each bite a delight.

I am glad we made an advanced online reservation for two for the 5pm happy hour because the happy hour tasting tor two for $120 is popular and they had people waiting to be seated or sitting at the bar instead. Valet parking entrance behind the restaurant was convenient to walk around the corner to the main front door. Our booth was cozy and servers were well-versed in the food. He patiently answered our questions and we ended up ordering what we liked instead of the tasting that night. We had to use the flashlight on our phones to read the menus because the restaurant keeps the lights dim for the ambiance. I loved their hibiscus tea and highly recommend it. The piping hot tea was delicious. They paced each dish well and we were not rushed. The dessert was worth the wait. The extra side dish of roasted Brussel sprouts that he gave us was something we would definitely order again. We had the Happy Hour menu items of Hama Chili, Bincho Nigiri 2pc , Salmon Temaki, and Gyutoro Gunkan 2 pc. All were delicious and fresh. We also ordered the Bluefin Chitoro Nigiri, Suzuki Yaki, and Milk and Cereal dessert. The entire fish included the head and tail and was a good sized portion. This is a nice spot for a date night or for super fresh sushi. Worth the price for the professional service, ambiance, food quality and presentation.

Five stars again and again. We made a reservation for a Monday night, and the restaurant was packed. Valet is complimentary and is right behind the building. Our server was kind- we opted for the Omakase and started with the Lychee Martini and Citrus Old Fashioned. The Omakase menu was a 10/10. I'm not the biggest sushi fan but I am now!! The flavors and detail was amazing. At one point we had a very long lapse in our next course and cocktail. Our waitress did check on us, and the staff sent over some complimentary items to cover the gap. The wait was at least 20 minutes, but the thoughtfulness to bring something else and acknowledge the wait was more than sufficient. Not the most romantic of places as the seats are shoulder to shoulder, but I would go here again in a heartbeat.

First off let me say I am not a sushi guy but my girlfriend is. So when I got promo gift card in the mail from uchiko for their new restaurant she was very excited! The atmosphere is very modern and sleek which we liked. The food was tasty and delicious and is kind of served tapas style... Not big portions but shareable plates. The food was all very tasty and they have dishes for both sushi and non sushi lovers! I would recommend and would come back. But don't come starving unless you know what you're getting into as each dish is not super big.

We had a lovely date night at Uchiko! Highly recommend for a top tier date night at Legacy West. Service is wonderful, food is fresh and delicious, and vibes are swanky, but minimal, which we love! They also have complimentary valet, which is a nice touch for parking at Legacy West. We tried the Japanese sweet potato side, whole branzino, soft shell crab roll, cod katsu, snow crab roll. All dishes were prepared extremely well! My faves were the sweet potato side (preparation is devine, they melt in your mouth), soft shell crab, and branzino. Again, highly recommend!

Lovely location at Legacy West. Interior follows Uchi ambiance. Reservations can easily be made online and on Sunday it's happy hour all day at the bar. We were promptly seated and service was impeccable. Our server asked what we typically order at Uchi and made wonderful recommendations. Everything we ate was delicious. A standout was the charred maitake. Wonderful experience, perfect for date night.

So I have been coming here for 2 items. I love their tofu sushi roll and their Japanese sweet potato dish. The service has the bar is generally good. The kitchen is hit or miss. Sometimes things come out in a decent time and other times it's very slow as if they forgot your order. However, the quality is consistent and I always think that I should have ordered more than one role. I will keep coming back and branch out but for now those two options make me smile. How could I forget the brussel sprouts !!!

Had omakase for 2 people. It was $310-ish per person. Not your traditional omakase with nigiri. There were many dishes and only 2 nigiris. I didn't mind it. It's nice to have variety of dishes. I liked everything that was served to us for the mushroom. They need to replace the mushroom with another dish or make this dish more flavorful. We ordered from happy hour dishes (HH is from 4-6PM everyday) and they were not worth it. The dumplings came in 2 pieces for like $12. My kids didn't even like it. They really like the chicken karagee which I agreed were good, moist and tender.

So my favorite restaurant in DFW is Uchi in Uptown so when I found out that Uchiko was opening up my way in Legacy West I was so excited. I didn't want to get my expectations up so I was prepared for it to be not as good as Uchi, but let me tell you how glad I am that i was wrong. Uchiko is just as delicious as Uchi and I am ecstatic about it. The hubs and I went there for our 11 year "dating" anniversary and they made it special from start to finish and even included a couple dishes on the house. Walking in, it feels VERY similar to Uchi in Uptown. Similar decor and vibe, but I actually prefer Uchiko's layout better. Foodwise, Every single thing we had there was just out of this world. The flavors and textures are innovative, creative and unlike anything else we've ever had. It feels like we are eating a meal from Top Chef. Some of our favorites (chef's kiss ): - Hama chili - Kanpachi crudo - Koviche - yokai berry - snow crab nigiri - salmon handroll - milk & cereal Wish we could afford to eat here regularly, but we definitely can't. They do however have a pretty sweet happy hour, so we usually make sure to take advantage of that! So happy Uchiko is here in Plano.

Omgg we finally have a Uchi's branch in plano!! I'm so glad we finally have one up north so no longer have to drive to dallas. Yes, they have like 95% same menu as uchis! The place is only open at 4pm, but def make reservations ahead of time because it gets packed during the weekend. They have complementary valet in the back so easy for parking. If you love the sushi at Uchis in dallas, you'll also love the sushi here. Every dish we had was oh so fresh and lovely! My only complaint was that my friends steak came like 10mins before her rice so that was a struggle trying to eat both together and it took much longer to get steak than sushi. The service is great and they even pushed my reservation out a few hours when I was running late. The place is super cute so make sure dress up! Can't wait to be back!

5 stars every time ! Ask for Anthony, you won't regret it. The Japanese sweet potato is AMAZING, the iberico pork is AMAZING, really everything is amazing. Uchiko does sushi so well that I have been disappointed at nearly every sushi spot I've tried after this. This is the one restaurant where every time I go, I run up a check. My boyfriend and I order everything we can from here LOL. I recommended the otoro, flounder, and madai nigiri but truly everything is excellent! This spot is decorated so tastefully and gives off that romantic vibe. 10/10 date night!

We picked this restaurant at Legacy West to celebrate a special occasion. We came on a Saturday night and felt the vibrant energy as soon as we walked in. To keep it simple, we went for the omakase! We started with raw oysters. They weren't super meaty, but they were fresh, briny, and savory. Then we had the nigiri, sashimi, NY strip steak, grilled sea bass, and more. Everything was beautifully plated and tasted amazing. We especially liked the nigiri being served on a wood board, adding a rustic and elegant touch to the dish. We finished the meal with the signature dessert: milk and cereal. The fried milk was a hit--so delicious! The service was awesome. Our waiter knew all about the dishes and the main ingredients. The only downside was we had to wait a while for the dessert, but it was worth it. :) We loved the delicious food, lively vibe, and friendly service. We'll definitely be back to try more. Maybe we'll drop by during Happy Hour!

Uchi means "inner group" (family, organization, etc.), and "-ko" means "son" in Japanese. We ordered Omakase for two for $350, and it was an absolute disappointment. I've been to other Omakase spots, such as Tatsu, Nobu, and Yujo, so I decided to try Uchiko after receiving a $100 coupon in the mail. Here are the key highlights of my experience: 1. Portion sizes were terrible for $350. Everything you see in these pictures was for two people. 2. No prime cuts of fish. The so-called chutoro lacked the rich fat content you'd expect. 3. Poor handling of fish. If there was a chef on the premises, they failed to control the water content of the fish. The salmon was overly watery, lacked salt, and was served too cold--same for the other sashimi. Many of the nigiri had excessive spices, oils, and flavors, making them downright bizarre. 4. The fried fish was tasteless. The batter was so hard it felt like I was eating in England. 5. Pork? Really? It was decent, but you do NOT expect pork in a $175-per-person Omakase. 6. Nigiri rice was cold, watery, and unseasoned. Takoyaki (not part of the Omakase) was burnt and tasted like a mix between a Kimchi sponge cake and... something that shouldn't exist. 7. Service was chaotic. The servers kept delivering wrong dishes to different tables, hoping someone would just claim them. Now, back to Uchiko's name. There's a certain American phrase that starts with "Sons of..."--let's just say after meeting this son, I can only imagine what Uchi is like. But I can also see why this restaurant might be popular among wealthy Americans who have never been to Japan and enjoy this bizarre fusion of Americanized "Japanese" food--like ManBearPig in culinary form.

Loved the experience of dining in. Great service and ambience but small portions to share. Great for a date night and cocktail menu is great.

The location is fantastic since it's close to folks I visit when I'm in Plano. The Interior and the ambiance very much as an Uchiko meets Dallas vibe with a couched waiting area open to the restaurant. Valet for your car was available, but it was a little confusing figuring out where that drop location was. It's in the alley drive around the corner from the restaurant. The service staff was great but expected since the Hai/Uchi group does such a great job of training to maintain the quality and consistency across their restaurants. While they do course out your order, we noticed that speed was inconsistent comparatively, but that could just be a bit of growing pains as it wasn't that long from opening. Overall the food was good and maintained the same consistency as the others (I've been to nearly all of the Uchi concepts).

Second time this month being at Uchiko. This time we fell in love with the Yam Tom Kha. Crispy rice was, again, wonderful. Our server tried to deliver another tables meal to us but we corrected them. All in all, lovely experience. Very easy to get dinner reservations for happy hour at this location - just plan ahead a couple days.

Top notch food, service, and ambiance! We got the soft shell rolls, ebi tempura, hamachi, unagi, and wagyu hot rock for dinner. Cannot decide which was the best - each dish had a unique flavor profile that perfectly complimented the accompanying protein. Ended our meal with the Milk and Cereal dessert - another massive recommendation to come out from this meal. Music was soft enough that you could have a private conversation. Kudos to the servers who took excellent care of our table. Must visit if you're in the area.

Went here for a date night and had a nice time. We got a sampling of various sushi plates, cocktails and dessert. I was undecided on a roll so I asked our server to surprise me. She ended up bringing both with one on the house. Happy hour drink prices are decent. The food was very flavorful however, for the price, the fish (nigiri, sashimi, hand rolls and rolls) was extremely small and about half the size you'd get at a mid-range sushi restaurant. We spent $250 for two people and still left hungry. The tables are also very close together so privacy is limited. I don't need to go back but I'm glad I tried it.

The food is always a 5-star experience, but after three visits, we've found the service to be a consistent 3-stars. It starts out strong with attentive care and recommendations, but inevitably, the dishes come out further and further apart until one seems forgotten or missing altogether. Most recently when we asked our waitress the cause of the hold-up she said: "I don't know what goes on in the kitchen." Very icky response considering two other miscommunications throughout our meal with one thing ordered that we only asked about and another dessert that wasn't put in when we'd intended to order it. Definitely seemed to be some training gaps with young service workers entering fine dining post-covid. As a result, three of our last three meals have had dishes comped so this has to be costing business revenue. Our favorites remain the Hama chili and the milk and cereal (updated Uchi classic of fried milk). Too irresistible to remember to photograph... No visit is complete without them. And the valet! It sounds so simple, but Luke single-handedly pushed this 3-star review back up to 4. He's always friendly, always remembers and acknowledges us, and is the fastest valet I have ever experienced in DFW - every time.

Oh my gosh...... BEST EXPERIENCE EVER The food was amazing, delicious and fresh. All the flavors danced so well when enjoying it. The service was top notch, and explaining really of courses, snacks and more. It was great birthday dinner! The ambience all around was fantastic, very laid back, sexy, chill, and cool vibes! I can't wait to come back and enjoy!!

Uchiko Austin is quite literally one of my favorite restaurants on the planet and Uchiko Plano did not disappoint abd quickly soaring up my list of favies as well! Beautiful set up. Warm, luxurious and tres tres chic decor and setting. Very welcoming! Service- fantastic. We were off to a terrific start! We were celebrating a friend's birthday, and our server was so sweet to treat us to dessert. After dinner of course- but I had to start with mentioning that first- ha! Food: beyond beautiful. Heavenly. I can't remember the ten million things we ordered but everything was silky satin savory sensational!!! I'm apparently still dreaming about the food. I will mention one suggestion- maybe provide a little soy sauce or seasoning on tables- the furikake rice was a little bland. Needed a little kick- Everything else, literally melts in your mouth- euphoric flavors. Must visit- must taste for yourself. Do not deprive yourselves. Treat yourself and enjoy these fabulous flavors. It's an experience for sure! Thank you, Uchiko for giving it your best! Love love loved it. Remarkable, inventive dining adventure. Upscale- tip top quality- prepare for a pricey and delicious meal. Worth it.

When you walk in, you have to pause to take in the interior design from the lighting over the waiting room to the bench seatings to the framed pod lights in the ceiling. The sushi bar would be a fun place to dine just to watch the sushi chefs and grill master. Victoria, our server, made us feel very comfortable and was sensitive to what was being served at our table. She came over and gave us each a spoon because she knew we wanted to scoop up the sauce. Okay, the dishes. They were all so good. Not only the freshness in each bite and a lot of thought was placed on the texture in each bite. We highly recommend the Signature Tasting available only during Happy Hour. 6 dishes and a dessert - $120 for 2 people.

From the moment we stepped in we were greeted by a large staff beaming that we've come to experience Uchiko. They are kind and well prepared. We were seated on time and noticed their chic waiting area was is in the middle of the restaurant, I found that to be lively and innovative. The full bar is an obvious difference between Uchi and Uchiko, Uchiko's cocktail menu does not disappoint. Our server worked at Uchi for 3 years and was able to describe menu item differences and provide solid recommendations. With a party of six we did run through the water pretty fast, I believe we asked for more water 3 to 4 times, it did not bug us with the decadent food and drinks throughout the evening. Looking forward to trying their steaks and branzino next round. Congratulations to the team and staff! Uchiko is a wonderful addition to the Dallas food scene.

I've been a fan of the Uchi restaurants ever since my first time at Uchiko Austin and I was SO excited for the Plano location to open up! Per usual, the service was phenomenal. I've been twice now and Athena was amazing on my first visit, she expertly suggested new dishes and drinks for my friends and me. On my second time, we celebrated my birthday and I received a signed card when I arrived, such a nice touch! The food is always so delicious and we always have amazing experiences and because each Uchi branded location is chef curated, you could order something you've had before but the flavor profile could be totally different and I absolutely love that. The Hearth here is also so great offering more on the hot side of the menu! It's a bit dangerous that I work across the street because I want to to every day!

Friends took us here to experience the newest Japanese restaurant in the bustling Legacy West area. The inside has a moody, dark, slick vibe. We were seated in a corner booth and one of the Chefs came by to say Hi to our hosts, who apparently have been regulars here since they've been open. Our host ordered everything for us to try out. For me, I enjoyed the Ebi Tempura, Kombu Carrots, the Rice with Mushrooms and Wagyu, and the Yellowtail. Authentic, fresh, and balanced. Service was excellent and parking is a breeze with the large multi-story parking garage nearby. If you enjoy Japanese cuisine, Uchiko is worth checking out.

I've been driving past the new location for the past year, just waiting for it to finally open up! I recently moved back from Houston, where I tried to visit Uchi & Uchiko as much as possible. Uchiko Plano didn't disappoint the legacy. Excellent service & staff who were incredibly friendly & efficient. The new location is aesthetically really lovely. You could tell they were still working out a few things, but that's expected with the newness. The valet setup is rather janky but free, so I can't complain too much. We did the happy hour 7-course tasting menu. Almost everything was great, except for the Steak Frites, which was incredibly tough & hard to eat. The lychee coconut sundae was a nice surprise.

Great experience here! Came here for a date night and almost everything we tried was so good. Started with a Japanese whiskey (not me, but my husband loved it) and a pink drink with dragon fruit that was so good. I was worried it was going to be too sweet but it was perfectly balanced. We also ordered a bottle of Prosecco and when they opened it, it completely overflowed and we easily lost an entire glass worth. If they hadn't given us a $30 complimentary dish, we would've said something. Food! Hamachi Chili - my absolute favorite. I LOVED the hit of chili and it paired so well with the orange Brussel Sprouts - I was worried when the description said "fish caramel" but it was not fishy at all. Perfectly sweet and perfectly crispy Pork Belly Kimchi -- not something I'd rave about but glad we tried it Blue Fin Cold Tasting - we actually got this complimentary and it was SO good -- great balance of tuna to sauce Spicy Crunchy Tuna Roll - this might have been my #1. From the looks of it I thought it might be heavy but it was so good and I absolutely loved the sauce that came with it Salmon & Tuna Nigiri & Sashimi -- no major complaints but felt like the salmon nigiri didn't need the yogurt Australian Denver Steak - only 4 oz but very good and very tender Chinese Broccoli -- too heavy on the cream "Milk & Cereal" - this dessert was so good, barely gave my husband a bite I almost ate it all Overall I loved our experience here and we'll be back!

Amazing meal at Uchiko, once again Hai Hospitality aims to impress and successfully succeeds. I had the honors of visiting their soft opening and the food met the expectation set by Uchi Dallas. All the food was succulent, flavorful, and fresh. Since it was the soft opening, service did get a bit slow when the kitchen became backed up. They brought out their food individually in the typical manner it is usually brought out at Uchi restaurants, and the service staff did their best to describe every dish. Even though towards the tail end of our order the food took its time to come out (about 20 minutes between dishes) the server tried his best to keep us updated. The interior is incredibly similar to Uchi Dallas. Excited to see how Uchiko takes on Plano!

*****4 STARS***** Uchiko Plano is located in the Legacy West area. They're a newer Japanese that opened earlier this summer according to my friends who took me here recently. The mood and decor inside is dark and good for a romantic evening out. For my visit here, my friends ordered a bunch of dishes. The standouts for me were the Kinoko Nabe with Gyutoro(Rice with mushrooms and Wagyu), the Hama Chili(Yellowtail), Ebi Tempura(Shrimp), Brussels Sprouts, and the Kombu Carrots. All of these dishes were delicately prepared and tasted super fresh. The Ebi Tempura was amazing, possibly the best shrimp tempura I've ever had and the rice with mushrooms and wagyu was equally delicious and not heavy. Parking can be found in the nearby multi-story parking garage. Our waitress was amazing and provided a top notch experience for myself and our group. I would love to come back here when I visit my friends again, hopefully in the very near future.

First time there. Service was great. They have a good happy hour. Got so many different dishes, but our favorite was the salmon and yellowtail nigiri. The Waygu strip steak was ok, not great for the small portion to price. Chicken karage was pretty good though. Loved the vibe and the service. Give it a try if you're up in Plano.

The location, service and presentation was outstanding!!!!! The food out of this world, we will be back!!! I was there with my meetup group five of us our server couldn't separate our our checks then went back to her manager miraculously was able to, make it easy for the customers don't give one check then expect everyone to get the calculators out ridiculous!!

Lovely service in all the details. The inside is just as beautiful as the outside, and the food was as good as expected. We ordered an assortment of nigiri and from the hearth items, each better than the last. The desserts were a highlight, particularly the milk and cereal and s'mores. Can't wait to come back!

My husband arranged my birthday dinner here on Sunday night because I love Uchi and their sushi. We've been to uchiko twice before and our experiences both times were great with Zack as our server for my son's birthday, and another young Asian girl as our server for my son's award ceremony celebration. Unfortunately, my experience Sunday night was disappointing because the service was lackluster and slow. We tried the tasting menu and the entree was steak frites, which came out at the end and not in its entirety. Both kids were starving and we realized that we needed to order 10 things all at once instead of tasting things and ordering more. In the end they were done eating their 30 pieces of nigiri but we were still waiting for our entrees. Once our entree steak arrives the frites weren't ready but we just gave up at ate the gyutoro steak, and eventually when the frites showed up our kids ate them because we had already asked for our bill. I love the Uchi line but I really wish the plano location would train all their servers to deliver the same top notch service that we got from Zack.

Uchi is one of our favorite restaurants and now having Uchiko in Plano is even better since we don't have to drive downtown. Top notch service, amazing food, and great drinks. They are just as good as the downtown location and the restaurant has really good vibes and plays some great music for hip hop lovers. Alyssa was our server tonight and she had great recommendations. Her high quality service made the experience even better!

After moving back to Dallas from Houston, I felt so desperate to find a top notch sushi restaurant that matched up to sushi in Houston. Nothing can beat my love for Houston sushi, but Uchiko Plano has kept me more than satisfied during my time here. My boyfriend and I have been here up to 4 times in the past few months (including once for my birthday) and we've tried a large variety of dishes here. All the nigiri is amazing and I always get a variety of madai, hirame, sake, sake toro, maguro, kanpachi, unagi, foie gras (when they have it), and the gyutoro (72 hour wagyu short rib, AMAZING). We also love the toro nuta (see picture) that our favorite sushi chef Alvin recommended to us. The koviche (lobster crudo) and masu crudo are both amazing. Their crudos feature a lot of fruit, which surprisingly brings out the richest and freshest flavors of the sashimi. Additionally, we always get their normal oysters + the hearth roasted oysters, which are delicious! For my birthday dinner, my dad ordered the suzuki yaki for the table, and it was pretty good. I personally wish there were more elements to the dish and a bit more flavor, but it was refreshing and filling. Each drink and food server we've had here have been friendly, with some going more out of their way to enhance our experience than others. The inside lighting is very dim and feels intimate while classy. Lastly, I never get dessert, but ! love Uchiko's milk and cereal. The little cream puffs are delicious.

Exquisite flavor combos and great service. Went in a Wednesday evening and it was a full house! The atmosphere was a bit lively and loud because of that but was still a pleasant experience. Highly recommend making reservations. My favorite item was snow crab and the foie gras. The milk and cereal is also a must for dessert!

Uchiko just opened up in Plano, and I was lucky enough to be able to book a reservation for their soft opening. Their soft opening deals were all the food was 50% off and selected drinks were also 50% off. I've been to uchi once, and it was just as good as uchi. Everything was fresh and delicious. It was the soft opening so there were a couple of kinks here and there, but overall it was a 10/10 experience. The workers were so nice and attentive, I honestly never had my water refilled so much and I loved it! The pace of all the food was perfect. The inside of the restaurant was very nice, it gave off a modern vjbe and I loved the decorations and natural lighting that came inside from the windows. I'm so glad uchiko opened up, can't wait to be back!

Uchiko lived it up to the reputation of its sister restaurants! Inari and Hotate Makimono were stellar and classic uchi staples like Karaage and Kinoko Nabe were just as good as usual. The gem lettuce salad was not as well-loved as Uchi salad but the oysters were a great new dish to try. Asparagus, tiger roll, and crunchy tuna roll were not our favorites. Service and ambience were solid!

Let me start by saying, WOW. We absolutely loved Uchiko. My advice is to go between 4 - 6 PM if you can; happy hour! Instead of doing one of the Chef's Tastings (Omakase), we opted to do our own tasting. Some of the dishes that we had included Hama Chili, P-38, Edamame, Veggie Maki, Pork Belly, Foie Gras, and Maguro. Pretty much everything we had was sensational, while I will say that the Wagyu Yaki was good, but not great. Don't be afraid to explore the menu. We got 11 different dishes and our tab was just under $200, not counting the alcohol.

I ordered kinokono-nabe and the dish was excellent! I wasn't impressed with the brussels sprouts, they were only slightly better than the Red Lobster's. The restaurant was pretty dim lit for my liking. The service was great all around from entering and leaving the restaurant.

Good food and ambiance, but slow service. Long wait periods between small plates, drinks, and entrees. The 16oz NY Strip came already sliced as thick-cut pieces and needed a steak knife to cut into bite size pieces, however they do not carry anything but butter knives in the restaurant.

Our waiter Sunam (hope I'm spelling that right) was amazing. Super informative, knew the menu backwards and forwards...was able to really take our experience in a great direction. The white fish dishes were amazing. My favorite offerings by far. The ambiance was fun, energetic and a little hectic. They've only been open for a short period of time and you could kind of tell. But not enough to take away from the food and experience in my opinion.

Real expensive exotic Sushi place. You are supposed to suck on the head of this shrimp. Weird. $24 bucks for a single grilled scallop. They don't have Miller Lite either. Its all Japanese beer. I'm super rich so its a good place for me. The prices keep out the rift raff.

Went to visit Uchiko again tonight. Night and day difference compared to my initial visit. Service was excellent, food was up to par with Uchi standards. The staff is attentive and trained well on the menu. I particularly enjoyed their new all day happy hour. Would come back for sure.

Great food. Great drinks. Great service. Great ambience. Amazing experience. We are major sushi fanatics‍ and this is probably our new favorite place

We just finished up and Uchiko and had a wonderful night. We sat at the sushi bar and the food was incredible as expected but our sushi chef, Charles, made the experience 10/10. We gave him our budget and what we liked and he customized a menu for us. He was also very friendly and fun to chat with while we dined. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing service by Ava. Everything was great and the food was good too, the only thing is the rice, it's a little harder on the side. The highlight was definitely the milk and cereal dessert, the dinosaur kale, and this other sushi that was marinated for a day or two forgot the name. The ambiance was nice and pretty.

slightly delayed review: unsure if the negative points i'm gonna make are still indicative: we went for their soft opening so it was PACKED. That didn't stop our server from being very, very kind and friendly however. he was really knowledgable and helped us with our order, even though he was helping like a ton of other tables. it was very busy so the food took a long time to come out; we sat there for about 2.5 hours and the last dish came out in the last 10 minutes after we persistently asked for the status of it. my favorite thing was actually eggplant nigiri, it was so smooth and sweet and hit all the right notes that i wish i didn't get it at the very end and instead had that for everything lol! the rice didn't hit for me, it was too soft and tasted like i could've made it at home with my regular rice cooker without that sushi vinegar and harder bite that sushi rice should have. if this was made correctly, it would've elevated everything we ordered by that much more. for the price point i would expect better sushi rice. because it was so busy and bustling, the waiter misheard about two of our orders, and it was already so far along the wait time that we didn't want to send it back and wait more etc. it is beautiful inside however and i hope that they've found their groove since i've been. i need to go back and get more of that eggplant nigiri :)

I had a great experience here, the food is incredible! It's an experience for the taste buds! I wish I could give 10 stars. My server was so good at pacing out the dishes and explaining them! She also threw in a few freebies and her recommendations were on point for our drinks. The vibe of this place is so buzzy and exciting! Cannot wait to come back, I had such a wonderful time!

We have been waiting patiently for Uchiko to open its doors after having Uchi last year and absolutely loving the entire experience . And let's be clear - Uchi is an EXPERIENCE. There is thought put into every single detail - from the moment you walk in until you step out . My fiance and I grabbed the omakase because ( if you're super indecisive and a foodie like me ) - it's a great way to be able to try a little bit of everything . While I don't remember everything we got, I'll touch on what I do remember . The Tsurai drink is DANGEROUS - tastes so refreshing . Next thing you know, you're three deep . lol . The sunomono cucumber salad was delicious . I know we ended up having the Madai , the hot octopus dish ( delicious ) , and a few other nigiri and sashimi . The dessert was the cheesecake - which was amazing . Our server, Athena, was a sweetheart . Overall, a great date night with some delicious food . Don't be fooled - the omakase is perfect portioning for two people - you will not leave hungry !
