I wanted so badly to love this restaurant - the reviews
I wanted so badly to love this restaurant - the reviews here got us very excited, but the food really fell flat. Not sure if we just caught the place on an off-day.The experience itself was one of the best we've had - great service, and you could see that the chef was incredibly meticulous and intentional about every aspect of each dish - he would orient the places in the exact same way before plating, with different colors in some cases for men and women - truly an artist with an extreme attention to detail. But as for the taste of the fish itself - I've had much better at restaurants charging half the price.
Be the first to ReplyMy omakase experience has been a couple 1 Michelin star
My omakase experience has been a couple 1 Michelin star sushi places in Singapore and Bay Area as well as Masa in NYC. I was pretty excited to try this 2 Michelin star sushi place and it did not disappoint! By far my favourite omakase that I've ever had. I'm pretty sure it was just Chef Ichimura who was handling everything as I didn't see anyone in the back kitchen. He serves everyone at the counter and plates all the appetizers as well. It was great to see him work his magic! In terms of appetizers, my favourite was the uni with caviar pie. I did like the appetizers from Masa better overall so there is some room for improvement! Definitely where this place shines is in the sushi courses. The fish was so fresh and none of them fishy at all , including the needlefish sushi which I find typically very fishy. The way he does the chutoro (2 slices) and otoro (3 slices) is amazing. I actually usually prefer chutoro to otoro because otoro can be too heavy for me. But I'm this case, I didn't find it too heavy at all. Both of them literally melt in your mouth in the most magical way. For dessert, they could go a bit more creative than just ice cream though it was yummy. After dinner, the chef personally said goodbye to all the guests at the door. Service was amazing - I would definitely come back! Highly highly recommend for all omakase lovers.
Be the first to ReplyExtraordinary and exceptional and exquisite.
I really enjoy their style of service, and appreciate it immensely. They're glad you're there, they're incredibly attentive and observant and helpful, but they also stand back and wait until it's appropriate. Not once were they intrusive or solicitous. And they were also very accommodating of my particular eating style. Namely, I eat slowly. They were fine with lining then up on my plate if necessary while I fixated on all the overwhelming textures and flavors. Very gratefully, this was a truly memorable and remarkable experience.
Be the first to ReplyOne of the best dining experiences I have ever had.
The service was excellent, Leo was very attentive and knowledgeable. My gf and I loved the intimate setting and how Chef Ichimura prepares everything himself. I've eaten at some of the best sushi places in the world and this is one of the best. The rice was perfect, temperature and seasoning. I can't think of one dish or piece of sushi that I thought was less than spectacular.
Be the first to ReplyThis place ranks amongst the best dining experiences EVER.
And not just in the sushi category... hospitality and service were unmatched. We had only told them we were celebrating a birthday BUT the host researched about us and found out that our anniversary is in a few weeks and that we have a son so throughout the night Chef Ichimura and the hosts regularly congratulated us on our anniversary and said happy birthday! The food is amazing. So many dishes that made you go "WOW" for lack of a more sophisticated word. Like the uni, caviar, and wasabi sandwich or the unforgettable sablefish sushi or the impeccable 3 layer toro sushi or the globs of Hokkaido uni so much to say about this place. And I didn't even mention the journey we took with the sake pairing. The host gave us societal and cultural background on every single same - not just notes or fragrances to taste. This place was just on another level. No brainer why it's got 2 Michelin stars and if anything I'm wondering if it's quaint LES location prevents it from having 3 because this place rivals Masa (another all time fave of mine). And of course those who have seen Chef Ichimura in action at Brushstroke know all this already. If you can, highly recommend getting one of the only 20 seats he serves every evening. You will forever remember the experience and never ever regret it. P.S. I was so excited eating I forgot to take pics of 3 sushi pieces But those pieces are imbedded in my memory forever!
Be the first to ReplyWhen I think of the perfect dining experience I think back
When I think of the perfect dining experience I think back to my time at Uchu.Having just been to Sushi Noz on the UES I was excited to see how Uchu would compare, and im happy to say not only Sushi Noz did not stand a chance but also a lot of michelin star restaurants were put to shame. The only question I was left with was "when are they receiving their third star?'We were punctual with our dinner reservation for their second seating but found most guests waiting outside, I was puzzled to see Uchu making us wait outside but figured they must need time to prepare the whole place for the second wave of guests. Turns out a gentleman who was standing by the door did not pull it hard enough and thought the door was locked, more guests arrived and some of us made assumptions about the door being locked and others asked the man standing by the door if the door was locked which he promptly confirmed it. Lessons were learned, don't ever assume or trust other guests as they also don't know what they are doing. After a 15 min delay he finally pulls the door open and realizes he just made the rest of us late, after this comical gaffe we finally head in, all 8 guests at once.I would like to say thank you to both Chef Ichimura, a kind, hard working and extremely talented chef who makes you wanna cry when you watch him prepare your meal, and our somm Leo who was beyond excellent from greeting guests to assisting the chef, as though one conducts a symphony. I was trully in awe of the preparation that was taken for a small group of people dining with them. Every single detail was carefully thought of and rehearsed, even their playlist, comprised mostly of jazz, touched a string in my heart when "Everything happens to me" by Chet Baker started playing as I sipped on a George Laval Champagne that was recommended and it delivered everything and much more.They have a fantastic wine menu, I could look at it for hours, unfortunately I have to leave at some point so I must decide on a bottle. I do recommend you take a stroll through their champagne section and spending a bit more than you usually would, it is filled with a lot of hard to find exciting champagne growers, delivering incredible depth for a more than fair price. I often encounter tired michelin star restaurants who held their place on the ranks for too long. But for Uchu everything is new and exciting, despite being veterans in the restaurant scene, they serve dinner as though it is their first and last. The food isn't demanding and it's not sitting in a glass dome with a mushroom, it's astonishing and straight forward, timeless and truthful. I can't wait to come back
Be the first to ReplyI enjoyed my experience here more than Masa.
At Masa, Mr. Masa and another chef made sushi for a group of 6. I had the other chef and for the first 3 pieces of sushi, the rice was not packed properly. I felt like my experience overall was degraded. Here as Uchu, Mr. Ichimura handled all 9 guests. I felt like the experience overall was better because of that.Two items especially stood out to me here.One was the uni cracker sandwich. It was basically a lots of uni and rice with a top and bottom cracker made out of those cheap ice cream cones. I've never had anything like it before. It was so unique and there was so much uni! The second were the toro pieces. Normally it's 1 piece of fish on top of rice, but for the 2 toro pieces, Mr. Ichimura put three pieces of fish on each piece! It also wasn't the same consecutive cuts. He made sure that each piece was from a different piece of toro, probably for variety and consistency. It was super tasty and definitely unique. I've never seen this done at other places.Overall I had a great experience here. The food was great. The ambiance was intimate. The service was great. I'd recommend others checking this place out!
Be the first to ReplySpectacular omakase experience.
Each piece was beyond fresh and flavorful. Even the ginger was the best I've ever had (I kept eating it as a snack :P) The portion is the most generous among other high end sushi places. There was lots of memorable pieces like the shrimp, uni and otoro. There was a steamed eel sushi with thick broth - very creative and interesting. Chef was always smiling. And the service was excellent and detail-oriented. Well deserved Michelin 2 stars. Will def come back.

Be the first to ReplyEnjoy Ichimura in every setting! Uchu is no exception.
Intimate (maybe too quiet for a first date?) and yummy and calm. Not for a rushed meal.
