Uchi. Uchiko. Uchiba.

One House, Standing together.

Uchi, translated from Japanese means “house”, was opened by Chef Tyson Cole in 2003 in a refurbished old home in South Austin. Since then, Cole’s signature non-traditional take on Japanese cuisine has been warmly received by Austin’s diverse dining crowd, as well as visitors from across the country and around the globe.

Uchiko, an offshoot of Tyson Cole's original Uchi, matches its forebearer's dedication to food, design, and service but brings fire to the fore weaving together robust flavors with hints of smoke and char alongside the fresh and clean flavors that define Uchi Restaurants.

Uchibā, borrowing flavors from Uchi, delivers quick bites paired with delicious Japanese cocktails. “bā” meaning bar in Japanese sets the tone for a smaller, more intimate bar experience with the same high-level of food, service and design you’d expect from Hai.
