Food: Inconsistent culinary journey

Uchi's Avocado Nigiri, Banana Bread Dessert and Edamame receive applause for their remarkable tastes. Yet, for a restaurant hailed for its creativity, the inconsistency in the taste and overpowered flavors disappoint. What's more, the value-for-money equation ends up in the negative considering the underwhelming culinary experience.

  • Very Creative

    Menus offer culinary masterpieces with unique, inventive, and creative dishes.

  • Okay Taste

    Food had both memorable high points and some noticeable lows.

  • Bad Variety

    Strong sauces overpowered delicate flavors, took away from dishes themselves

Vibe: Aesthetic elegance meets laid back

There's no denying the aesthetic pull of Uchi with its modern and chic ambiance. The restaurant, however, maintains a laid back vibe despite the elegance. This combination suits for both buzzing group gatherings and more intimate date nights, also backing up with an extensive drinks menu.

  • Great Ambiance

    Beautiful, chic, modern ambiance aesthetically pleases and elevates dining experience.

  • Okay For Dates

    Suitable for both lively group gatherings and more intimate date nights.

Perks: Struggles wrap the service package

While the ambiance draws you in, the service aspects at Uchi might just push you away. From the parking issues, reservations glitches, lack of outdoor comfort to seating mismanagement for groups - the service hiccups are aplenty. The noise level, however, hits a perfect note, making for pleasant ambience and conversations.

  • Easy To Hear

    Music and noise levels are perfect for both conversations and ambience.

  • Okay Service

    Service usually good but occasionally overshadowed by delays and organizational issues.

  • Bad For Diets

    Every dish we ordered was extremely disappointing, regardless of food type.
