Uchi
A famous creative Japanese restaurant founded by James Beard Award-winning chef Tyson Cole, featuring the signature spicy yellowtail dish, Hama Chili.
Founded by James Beard Award winner Tyson Cole, Uchi is located in a renovated old house on South Lamar Boulevard. It features cozy booths and a large, open sushi bar, offering an atmosphere that is casual yet sophisticated—perfect for dates and celebrations. Signatures include Hama Chili (yellowtail with citrus ponzu), Machi Cure (smoked yellowtail over yucca chips), the Zero Sen roll, and hot rock Wagyu. The average cost is about $150 to $200 per person, though Happy Hour offers better value. Reservations open one month in advance and book up quickly; walk-ins at opening time might secure a spot at the bar. It is within walking distance of Zilker Park.
