Our only snag was our waiter didn’t come back to see if we wanted another drink and he disappeared. He didn’t inquire if we wanted dessert. If he was on break he should had someone cover his table while on break. The food was fantastic and we will come back. Just to see if the service is better.

Our server was outstanding! He walked us through the menu and the specials and made our dinner memorable his name is Mark Rogers. The was on point and my wife claims her steak was the best she had in her life! That was a big statement as we have been fortunate to visit some other well known steak houses in the country.

We just moved back from living in California for almost After living in California for ten years, specifically in the San Diego area, where access to amazing food was always just minutes away in any direction, moving back to the Woodlands/Magnolia area of Texas has been a bit of a letdown when it comes to dining options. The food here is often overpriced and falls short of what we’re used to in terms of quality. As big sushi fans, we’ve had some unforgettable experiences with sushi over the past decade, so when we heard about Uchi in Houston, we knew we had to try it. Since it’s about an hour’s drive from us, we decided to make it a special occasion and go all out with the Omakase, a 12-course chef’s selection for $175 per person. Uchi did not disappoint. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of extraordinary. Every course offered incredible flavor combinations, with melt-in-your-mouth textures and unique profiles that kept us amazed. By the end, we were beyond full and felt it was worth every penny. Uchi proved to be a standout in Houston’s dining scene, offering sushi that matched, if not surpassed, our high expectations.
