Uchi es considerado uno de los mejores restaurantes de Texas, y es muy románico con luces bajas. Quienes quieren algo de privacidad, deben ir al bar de sushi. Para un aperitivo, hay que probar el pato con la verdura bok choy y setas shiitake. Hay que asegurarse de dejar espacio para los postres, el creme brulée de té chai es delicioso.

A brainchild of acclaimed chef, Tyson Cole, Uchiko is his second establishment in Austin, which opened its doors following the success of Uchi. The menu features delicious innovations brought into traditional Japanese cuisine; Yokai Berry, Koviche, Dewbee Chicken and tuna sashimi with goat cheese are a few to be named. While attempts are made to offer guests something new, the ingredients remain authentic, which also includes sourcing fish all the way from Tokyo. An interesting selection of desserts like Fried Milk, Tobacco Cream and Olive Gelato provide the perfect finish to your meal.

This little Japanese spot is famous for its delicious and creative sushi rolls. Customer favorites include the "ex-girlfriend" roll with crab, avocado, and spicy tuna, and the "say my name" roll with jalapeno, scallop, tuna, and cream cheese. On top of their sushi, Tomodachi also serves a variety of Japanese-food staples like gyoza, tempura, and tonkatsu, among other things. The restaurant also boasts a sake and soju menu so impressive its warrants a visit by itself. Pair a bottle of sake with any of the food on the Tomodachi menu, and you won't regret seeking out this eatery.
