Three details worth getting right

Read the menu by format.

Nigiri is not a sashimi set.

A listing such as Sake at $6.50 / $21 gives two different formats. Ask about the piece count for each before ordering for a shared table; the prices do not describe equivalent portions.

Vegetarian rolls can be different.

The dinner Avokatsu lists cured anchovy; the vegetarian version lists avocado and tomato. Biendo and Shag also change between menus. Save the vegetarian version if that is the preparation you need.

Happy hour has its own tasting.

The happy-hour omakase is listed at $120 for a nine-course tasting for two. The main dinner omakase is ten courses and does not show a fixed price. The $120 happy-hour price covers both diners. Ordering to go? Omakase at Home also lists at $120 on the South Lamar pickup menu and is a separate offering.

Before ordering

Uchi Austin menu questions.

How much is omakase at Uchi Austin?

The dinner menu lists a ten-course omakase without a fixed price. Ask for the current quote. A separate happy-hour offering is listed at $120 for a nine-course tasting for two; it is not the same dinner menu.

When is Uchi Austin happy hour?

Happy hour is every day from 4–6pm. Its menu includes separate tasting, sushi, handroll and drink prices. Use the happy-hour view or our dedicated guide rather than applying those prices to the dinner menu.

Is Uchi Austin only raw fish?

No. The menu also includes hot tastings, grilled items, fried dishes, vegetable preparations and desserts. Some hot dishes can still contain raw or undercooked components, so ask about the exact preparation if you need fully cooked food.

Are the vegetarian rolls the same as the dinner rolls?

Not always. Dinner Avokatsu lists cured anchovy, while the vegetarian version lists avocado and tomato. Biendo and Shag also have different vegetarian preparations. Tell the server which menu version you want.

What do two sushi prices separated by a slash mean?

Where indicated, the first price is nigiri and the second is sashimi. These are different serving formats; ask about piece counts rather than treating the prices as two sizes of the same order.

Does Uchi Austin accept walk-ins?

Yes. The restaurant accepts reservations and welcomes walk-ins. Availability varies, patio seating depends on weather, and larger parties or special requests should call (512) 916-4808.
