Best Restaurants with Bar Seating in Westchase

Such a nice new swanky place! We just got our pretty drinks and appetizers, but they were all really good! Our service by Russell was impeccable— it’s probably the best I’ve received at a restaurant in Houston. I’ll definitely be coming back here!

Incredible dining experience on every visit. Just wish they wouldn’t place the utensils on the bare table.

I took my mother here for her birthday Jan 5th, 2025 and we had an outstanding dinner experience. We went on a Sunday at 5:30pm and there wasn’t many other tables there, and throughout the entire night even when the restaurant filled up, the noise level was still low, very intimate vibe. Throughout the dinner, we had the manager constantly checking up on us to make sure everything was good, very friendly and receptive to any feedbacks we gave her. We ordered 2 drinks, 5 order of nigiris (each nigiri order comes in 2), 2 maki roll dishes, and two main dishes, and 1 dessert (got a bonus dessert because it was mom’s birthday), total came out to be $273 (without tip) and I think that’s pretty reasonable. I HIGHLY recommend the Nigiris, very fresh and delicious. For our main dishes, I ordered a Miso Black Cod and found bones in it, so be careful while consuming this dish, but overall, great seasoning and flavor. My mother main dish was the Surf Turf Saltado, sadly her tenderloin were burnt, the lobster piece was okay and seasoning was underwhelming, she didn’t like it much (they did not charge us for this, which was very kind of them). but overall, all the other dishes were great, you can see our rating below: - Komorebi (drink N/A) - 2/5 - Hanayome (drink) - 3.5/5 - Seaweed Salad - 4/5 - Maki - Flaming King Crab Roll - 4/5 - Surf & Turf Roll - 4.5/5* - Nigiri - Madai (Japanese snapper) - 4.5/5* - Hamachi (yellowtail) - 4.5/5 - Hotate (scallop) - 3/5 - A5 Wagyu (Miyazaki Prefecture) - 4/5 - Unagi (eel) - 5/5* - Miso Black Cod - 4/5 - Surf Turf Saltado - 1/5 (tenderloin was burnt) - Matchamisu - 3/5 - Special Strawberry Dessert - 4/5

This was my first time at Uchiko. It exceeded expectations. My guest & I dined Omakase style and the selections were Ahhmazing. There were only a couple that we didn’t like. When we didn’t fully enjoy our server offered replacements-OUTSTANDING service! We did a weekend happy hour which pretty quiet. Parking was easy complimentary valet or self-park. Ummm, yes of course I recommend.

The food, the service, and the atmosphere was excellent as usual. Highly recommend.
