Uchi Review

You've heard the term "extreme sports"? Uchi is "extreme sushi." Respectful of traditional sushi and sashimi methods—but not limited by them—this standout sushi bar (a consistent critical and popular favorite) starts with super-fresh ingredients. After that, anything goes, including touches of the South or south-of-the-border: yellowtail with ponzu sauce and sliced chilies, tempura-style fried green tomatoes, or seared monkfish cheeks with Vietnamese caramel, Belgian endive, roasted red grapes, and cilantro; unusual salsas enliven most any dish. You can make a tapas-style meal from the cold and hot "tastings" menu. If you sit at the sushi bar you can watch the enthusiastic kitchen staff at work. Attentive, knowledgeable service seals the deal.

    One of kind restaurant!

    Large, unique menu. I have eaten at Japanese restaurant through out Europe and North America and have never seen a menu like this one. Everything is set up to be a tasting menu or tapas bar. The grilled baby octopus was excellent. The steak you cook on a rock was quite good and unique. The eel sushi was quite tasty. We even had an African fish shipped from Japan. The server was very knowledgeable and willing to spend time with us and explain items to us; which was important since we dont what a quarter of the menu was. Great service!
