Uchiko Houston sits on Post Oak Blvd in the Westside area, part of the Uchi restaurant family founded by James Beard Award-winning chef Tyson Cole. The Houston kitchen is led by Chef Rusty Hicks, who runs a nine-course omakase menu that leans into the smoke-and-char approach the Uchiko concept is known for, alongside the cleaner flavors associated with its sister restaurant Uchi.
The restaurant falls in the top price tier and offers both lunch and dinner service, with hours split into a midday seating from 11:00 to 14:30 and an evening seating starting at 16:00 (closing at 22:00 on weekdays and Sunday/Monday, 23:00 on Friday and Saturday). A private room is available for groups, corporate events, and special occasions, and the space includes custom lighting, hand-crafted booths, and commissioned artwork throughout the dining rooms.
Reservations are handled through SevenRooms, and walk-ins are welcomed. For large parties, buyouts, or special requests, guests are directed to call the restaurant directly at (713) 522-4808. Catering and offsite event inquiries are handled separately through the restaurant group's website.
Uchiko Houston is one of several Uchi-family restaurants in the area, sharing some menu concepts with its sibling locations while maintaining its own chef and kitchen team, including Rusty Hicks and Omar Martinez.
