Uchiko

Top choice in Austin


Not content to rest on his Uchi laurels, chef Tyson Cole opened this bustling North Lamar restaurant, which describes itself as 'Japanese farmhouse dining.' All we can say is, if these fantastic and unique delicacies are anything to go by, you'll soon be yearning to visit a few Japanese farmhouses. Reservations are highly recommended.
