Who would have thought I would eat the best sushi of my life in Texas Ito be fair, I haven’t made it to Japan yet but still)! The second location of Chef Tyson Cole’s critically-acclaimed Uchi, this contemporary Japanese hotspot brought the Austin fame to Houston in 2012. Residing in the iconic former Felix space on Westheimer near the corner of Montrose, Uchi brings its hallmark level of quality and service to a new city, successfully melding culinary innovation with an approachable vibe. It’s not for purists, but if you’re into Nobu, Asian Fusion or just freakin’ deliciousness (at a hefty price), you will be blow away by Uchi.
