Uchiko is the sister restaurant to Tyson Cole’s original Uchi. It matches that restaurant’s dedication to food, wine, and service, but it has a Japanese farmhouse aesthetic with crafted materials and warm finishes to round out a completely updated setting. The chef team at Uchiko has created a brand new selection of composed dishes and sushi, taken from ideas and plates created at Uchi. Uchiko is Uchi redefined.

Patio seating is weather permitting and may be rescheduled in the event of inclement weather. We look forward to serving you, Kanpai!

This was an amazing experience. We opted for the somakase as our server Juan seemed very knowledgeable and interested in our preferences. He was fantastic! The dishes he chose were wonderful as were the cocktails he recommended. We loved this restaurant for it's beautiful decor and ambiance, cuisine and service. One of the best dining experiences we have had!

They were full but we were sat as soon as we arrived. Food and drinks were brought to us fast and the food was fresh and tasty. Everything is always so good. This is a highly recommended vegan restaurant.

I'm such a fan of Blue Sushi anyway, but how they're celebrating Veganary with a different $5 roll each week in January makes my heart happy!

Top Roe stands as a singular culinary gem in Austin's vibrant dining scene, offering an experience that transcends the typical restaurant visit. Under the masterful direction of Chef Paul, each dish emerges as a carefully orchestrated symphony of flavors that manages to be both innovative and deeply satisfying. Chef Paul's menu demonstrates both technical precision and creative vision. His ability to transform ingredients into surprising yet harmonious combinations reveals the work of a true culinary artist. Each plate arrives as a composition that delights both the eye and palate, showing an attention to detail that's rare even in high-end dining. What truly sets Top Roe apart is its uniqueness in Austin's restaurant landscape. While the city has no shortage of excellent dining options, nothing quite matches Top Roe's particular blend of sophistication, creativity, and consistent excellence. It fills a niche that Austin didn't even know it was missing. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply seeking an extraordinary meal, Top Roe delivers an experience that ranks among Austin's finest. It's the kind of restaurant that reminds you why dining out can be so much more than just having a meal – it can be a memorable event unto itself.
