The sushi is super good quality. I loved their lychee roll, absolutely delicious. Their prices are super fair. My partner & I ate a ton of food for 50$ each with tips & tax. Service was great. The servers were very caring & attentive. I really liked everything I ate, specially the garlic mushrooms. If you are looking for a great sushi place rhat is BYOB, look no further. The matha ice cream was also delicious!
The Tom Yum soup is great!

Let's get the only good part out of the way : the food is delicious.
We arrived at 6:15PM, were sat in the middle of a very noisy restaurant. Felt like a loud cafeteria.
Behind us were several other empty tables, including a banquet. Two minutes after sitting down, a family of four were sat next to us with screaming, unbehaved children. Knowing this would be an issue, we asked to be seated a bit further down. Before I could even finish my sentence, the waitress cuts me off & says it's reserved & they do not allow table switches.
Throughout the evening, the banquet that was « reserved » was seated 90 minutes later. It took them an hour to pour a soup & toss a small salad. We then got served our sushi a full 100 minutes after arriving. Everyone was wondering where their food was.
The service was dreadful. The children next to us were sitting, bottom down on the table, yelling… it was a shock to have such uncivilized children next to us with waiters enabling it. Note to families,… if you have young children at home, just stay home on Valentine's day. Don't ruin it for literally everyone else.
While the food was good, it's not worth waiting two hours for once seated, & certainly not a great experience when you're waiting an hour for a salad entrée with misbehaved children & incompetent parents close by with an unsupportive waiting staff.
Belle place, excellent service. Très déçu de la bouffe. Des dumplings au porc sans viande à l'intérieur & la soupe Tom Yum avec les fruits de mer surcuits & un bouillon qui goûte la sauce tomate éclaircie à l'eau.
The sushi place we wanted to try is gone so we found this one instead. So glad we did! We brought our own bottle of Sake ( wish Ontario restaurants allowed this). We ordered the Bateau 4, which is a selection of different items & came with soup (3 to choose from) & a salad (2 or more to choose from). The green salad we picked was amazing. Fresh & really delicious dressing. Our selection of sushi was exceptionally good, & they are very generous with the ginger & Wasabi. Our server was very attentive, noticing my fondness for ginger, he brought extra beyond what I needed. Quick to clear plates & bring whatever we asked for. I highly recommend this place & I'd definitely go back!
Their hot dinner combos are delicious! I had the General Tao, brown fried rice with chicken & shrimp, spring rolls, soup wonton, miso soup, calamari & the dessert cake is a yummy delight!
Plat très savoureux, on sent bien que ce sont des plats cuisinés. La quantité est également très généreuse. Je recommande énormément les petites soupes (won ton & miso).
It was our first visit to Uchi but not our last! From the moment we entered, we were well taken care of. The place is simple & not too big. There were a few groups celebrating occasions.
We ordered a boat for 2 but it could have easily served 3 people - generous & just awesome. The best ever! We had a soup & salad as well included in the price of $70. It was good value to say the least. Very fresh food & creative. The sushi pizza was unbelieveable!
It's a BYOB restaurant & that's another plus. We hope to go back, again & again!
