This was my first time at Uchiko. It exceeded expectations. My guest & I dined Omakase style and the selections were Ahhmazing. There were only a couple that we didn’t like. When we didn’t fully enjoy our server offered replacements-OUTSTANDING service! We did a weekend happy hour which pretty quiet. Parking was easy complimentary valet or self-park. Ummm, yes of course I recommend.

The exterior leading to the entrance door is stunning. With all the wood detail, you can see the build was thoughtfully planned out. Upon entering you're surrounded by wood detail and live beautiful plants and palms. Our favorite appetizers were the coconut shrimp and fried oysters. Both had so much flavor. We shared the el pescador grouper sandwich with wonderfully crispy fries and tasty sauces to accompany them. We finished with a dessert, the quattro leches, absolutely amazing! And we were given a free dessert, for our wait on the entree, of chocolate pie. This slice of pie was heaven! It was so creamy and included the flavor (and smell) of espresso! A must have! The bar area was nice and next time we will sit at the bar and view sports on the TV.
