Chef and founder Tyson Cole, whose precisely crafted sushi was first served in a renovated old house, made it feel fresh and uniquely Austin. Cole’s reinvention of Japanese cuisine can be inspirational; it becomes a great challenge of intricacies of sushi and amazing the cult like following of Tyson. He has earned world acclaim with top awards and top chef nods. His Asian driven restaurant empire has been so great since its early days in Austin that he now has Uchiko, as well as an Uchi in Houston and now Dallas. Foie N igir i At Uchi, the mantra is not only will you be taught what is in each dish and where it comes from but also how to eat it. The frenzy currently going down at Uchi Dallas is fanatical and well deserved. The restaurant opened at the beginning of June with little competition and it has become the go-to place for every knowledgeable foodie along with the most beautiful scene for people watching.
