More information on Uchi

Chef/owner Tyson Cole is getting lots of recognition for his inventive Japanese food. Last year he was named one of America's best new chefs by Food & Wine magazine. He loves to play with ingredients Texans are familiar with to create Asian dishes that are beautifully presented and exciting to Austin's tastes. His Uchiviche -- citrus-marinated whitefish and salmon mixed with tomato, peppers, cilantro, and chiles -- will make a believer out of you. It's not only the seafood that gets the culinary crossover treatment: Brie, pumpkin, shiitake mushrooms, and asparagus are among the food items that you can order tempura-style. And the skewered kobe beef should satisfy those who eschew vegetables and fish. Choose from a long list of cold sakes -- especially the rare upmarket brands -- for the perfect complement. The space, a converted 1930s bungalow done up in Asian reds and blacks by two of the city's hottest designers, is at once dramatic and spare. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
