What People Are Saying About Uchi
The Editor
Contributor
Citysearch
In Short – The vibe at Uchi is sophisticated yet relaxed, with the well-heeled and tattoo-laden coexisting in harmony. On any given evening, it's filled to capacity with diners conversing beneath a bold, red expanse intermingled with golden flowers. Dimly lit lanterns hanging from the high, vaulted ceiling provide a romantic ambience. Tender Muscovy duck, grilled on Japanese charcoal, are appetizers to salmon or striped bass sushi, Brie tempura ringo or pan-seared scallops served with samiso sauces, baby bok choy and shiitake mushrooms.

Cheap Atmosphere limited food selection
by k2dalc at Citysearch
Maiko sushi is 100x better than this place with a much better atmosphere. Sushi blows Uchi out of the water. I WILL NEVER GO BACK!! IT WAS HORRIBLE!!!!
- Pros: hot towels before meal
- Cons: plain tasting food

Good Happy Hour
by RayFoodLover at Citysearch
Went to Uchi a couple weeks ago for the 5th or 6th time, but it was my 1st time to go for Happy Hour. They had pretty good happy hour prices. I think the spicy crunchy tuna was $7 and sake is $3... I will definitely be back.
