Uchi : 3 of 5
3.15.2004 7:25 PM \| Link	I went to Uchi for the first time with a group of pals for Chris' 30th birthday, and we all had a great time. The place was pretty crowded on a Saturday night, but all the people just added to the atmosphere, which is upscale, but comfortable. I was expecting typical Japanese food, but the menu is full of fusion cuisine - there are some pretty bizarre dishes on the menu (compared to a regular Japanese restaurant). That's my main negative - there was hardly an Asian in the place, and everything has been yuppie-ized (they even have the nerve to call things like grilled asparagus yakitori, which means grilled chicken!). However, the food itself was pretty amazing - I was quite surprised! Everything was delicious - I even enjoyed sushi in rice paper, though I usually prefer nori. They also have a nice sake selection, with mostly cold sake served in a wooden box. The food is definitely a 4, but the the un-Japaneseness gets a 2, so my rating has to be a 3. Labels: restaurants
