Uchi Scottsdale brings founder Tyson Cole's modern sushi approach to South Scottsdale, blending Japanese technique with contemporary ingredients across an omakase tasting menu. Cole, a James Beard Award winner, built his original Austin restaurant around the intimacy of the sushi bar, and that pacing and personal service style carries through to the Scottsdale location's full dining room.
The restaurant operates as an upscale, moderately priced spot (tier 3) with an English-language menu, making it accessible for first-time omakase diners. Sake pairings are offered alongside the tasting menu, and a lunch omakase service runs on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday between 11:30 am and 2:30 pm, in addition to nightly dinner service. A private room is available for group dining and events.
Reservations run through SevenRooms, and the restaurant notes it accepts walk-ins as well as bookings. Parties of eleven or more, or those seeking private dining, are directed to a dedicated group booking link rather than standard reservations. Difficulty booking a table is rated easy, suggesting walk-in or short-notice reservations are realistic outside peak hours.
Hours vary by day: Monday through Thursday dinner runs 4 to 10 pm, while Friday and Saturday dinner extends to 11 pm, with Sunday closing at 10 pm. Lunch service on weekends and Sunday runs 11:30 am to 2:30 pm. The restaurant is located at 3821 N Scottsdale Rd, with phone reservations also available at (480) 916-0916.
