Description

The fish seems fresher and the sushi chefs seem sharper here than anywhere else, and Uptown is certainly one of the trendiest of its type in the city. On the weekends, expect to be seated with dressed-to-the-teeth singles eating to a throbbing techno soundtrack.

    Sushi as an Accessory

    By Robb Walsh | Thu, December 15, 2005

    It was a Thursday night, and Uptown Sushi was packed to the gills. Throbbing techno music made it feel like we were entering a dance club. The black-clad hostess led my companion and me past the loud cocktail-lounge area to the only two seats... More »

    This place is really, really good. It has a really nice atmosphere. It’s a little bit different than most sushi places. It’s really an upscale looking type of restaurant when you go in here. You don’t feel like you’re in a sushi restaurant, but the sushi is really good.

  • 2006 | Best Sushi

    The fish seems fresher and the sushi chefs seem sharper at Uptown Sushi than anywhere else in town. On weekends, expect to dine among dressed-to-the-teeth singles mingling to a throbbing techno soundtrack. The sashimi is top-notch, and the raw Kobe beef is extremely popular. But it's the edgy, innovative dishes -- such as the tuna tartare served in a martini glass with Parmesan shavings -- that tickle the fancy of Houston sushi lovers. Wild things include the "lickety split roll," a... More »

  • 2004 | Best Place for a First Date

    Uptown Sushi The point of a first date is to ascertain whether to have a second one. You're too nervous to relax. Your chances of scoring are slim. And don't even think about bringing your A material -- for all you know, your date has a Catholic-priest uncle and wouldn't appreciate your jokes about altar boys (oops). Forget about having fun: You need to think of this evening as a series of litmus tests. And that's where Uptown Sushi comes in. This sleek Galleria-area eatery may not be... More »
