Uchi Austin

This was my second amazing meal at Uchi Austin! This time I brought even more people. For our visit to Austin, I put Uchi high on my must—dine list because the flavors were so memorable. Everything was delicious. Sour, umami, spicy, herbaceous, sweet-- they covered every note. We ordered a variety and took recommendations from our wonderful waiter (Armin? Armon? - I should have gotten the spelling). Two of us are gluten free, and two of us don’t even like seafood generally, and we still loved it. Most of the menu can be gluten free (get the ponzu sauce!). What a great memory.

We had an awesome dinner here in December. Our server was very knowledgeable about allergies and gluten cross contamination which made it easy to eat confidently. We opted to do omakase but had our server direct it so that we could make sure our dishes fit our preferences/ allergy requirements. This was definitely the way to go. Every dish was fantastic and the fish was very high quality! We also loved our cocktails and the extensive sake selection. The seating outside is a little loud due to road noise but it was absolutely worth it to be able to nab a last minute Saturday night reservation.

Wonderful happy hour! We ordered one of everything in the happy hour menu (that was able to be made gluten and dairy free) and it was so much fun! My kids loved it!
