uchi

if you saw the documentary "jiro dreams of sushi" and found yourself completely captivated, then you will be equally obsessed with the new sushi class offerings from @uchidallas. (if you didn't see it, then this will give you an entirely new appreciation for the art of making sushi!). comprised of equal parts demonstration and fine dining, the classes atuchiare the perfect opportunity to get a hands-on, behind-the-scenes experience with their talented chefs led by head sushi chef kyu. learn the process and techniques used to create every delectable bite, and then try your hand at making your own sushi.

a recent family visit to dallas to visit close relatives resulted in being taken touchiby our hosts. this is a fine dining establishment in a leafy downtown up market area of dallas. i am not a great fan of sushi, in not wishing to estrange the hospitality shown to us we went with an open mind and were quickly converted. wow!

the food is wholesome, healthy very tasty with a great choice of vegetarian options. the dishes kept coming washed down with copious amounts of japanese beer and 3 bottles of sake, this was a fine dining experience to behold. if in dallas please check this place out. we did not foot the bill for this extravaganza, but would guess that its prices are at the top end of fine dining.

uchi definitely lives up to the hype that everyone in dallas had been talking about. a reservation is highly recommended, so we hit up a thursday evening happy hour. i decided to valet withuchi(best decision) and was greeted with a sample of delicious sushi as i was walking in.

it's a very hip spot and the bartenders wasted no time getting me a drink and comfortable. once we got seated, the real fun began. we opted to stick with the happy hour selections - delicious! if you order anything, make it the brussels sprouts - they are phenomenal.

can i say that i am most impressed with the fact that my car literally was pulling up in the valet driveway when i was walking out?!? definitely going back!

the food is obviously exceptional and yes i am a small kid in a big city but i know that nigiri is two pieces per order. when we asked for two orders of seabream, two of baby yellow tail, and two mackerel we expected to get 12 pieces of sushi...eitheruchiof austin is more generous or dallasuchitried to take advantage of two unsuspecting guests.
money is important but we made plans for the evening but we're really disappointed in the receptionist and basic wait staff...i don't care what kind of clientele your accustom too because my money is just as green....

for opening in june of 2015 id say they have a long way to go before they can claim to be our idea of uchi..

save your money if your on the town and hit a local bar and save the expenditures for those you trust in your home town..
customer service is key and i'm no stranger to accounting for bad day days and busy nights but if it's dead slow on a tuesday and service is a 2 out of 10 then i'd have to say something smells fishy -🍣2 pieces even iphone gets it... robbed in dallas

i had been wanting to tryuchiand then found you can just eat at the bar, first come first serve. incredible food, amazing wait staff. bartenders were knowledgable and friendly. brussels sprouts, avocado and rice dish and yellowtail with orange slices were my favorites. i plan on becoming a regular!

after freaking out about a reservation on opening day, open table suddenly had none other than an opening. we arrived at 4:45pm, which immediately put a pip in our step.uchiemployees brought food outside for all of the hungry people to eat while waiting. please do not think uchi’s door opened even one second before five o’clock because theuchidoor did not.
