Best Japanese Restaurants in South Mountain

Food was really good, everything done perfectly. The noise level was good, not too loud. Service was slow for some reason, but even though it was slow, it was still nice.

Excellent service! Great ambiance! Delicious food!

Lovely outdoor seating. Great creative food options.

The most efficient service I’ve been provided with. Staff were extremely accommodating & friendly. Our waiter Pablo made us feel welcomed & made the night extra special for my husband’s birthday. Will definitely be coming back soon

★★★★★ Exceptional Date Night Experience My wife and I recently celebrated date night at Uchi in Scottsdale, and the experience was nothing short of perfection from start to finish. The moment you step into the restaurant, you're greeted by an atmosphere that masterfully balances modern sophistication with warm intimacy – exactly what you want for a special evening out. The culinary journey at Uchi is truly remarkable. Each dish that arrived at our table was a work of art, demonstrating the kitchen's commitment to both visual presentation and flavor complexity. The sushi here transcends the ordinary – the fish is impeccably fresh, perfectly seasoned and maintained at ideal body temperature, a detail that true sushi aficionados will appreciate. The service staff deserves special mention for their attentiveness and expertise. Our server displayed an impressive knowledge of the menu, offering thoughtful recommendations and explaining each dish with genuine enthusiasm. The pacing of our meal was expertly managed, allowing us to savor each course without feeling rushed or waiting too long between dishes. What truly sets Uchi apart is their attention to detail. From the carefully curated sake selection to the subtle ambient lighting that creates an intimate dining atmosphere, every element has been thoughtfully considered to enhance the overall experience. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply want to enjoy an extraordinary dining experience, Uchi Scottsdale delivers on all fronts. It's clear why this establishment has quickly become one of the Valley's premier dining destinations. While it's certainly an investment in your evening out, the exceptional quality of food, service, and atmosphere make it wholly worthwhile. Pro tip: Make reservations well in advance, especially for weekend dining. The popularity of this gem is well-deserved, and tables fill up quickly.
