About Uchi Miami

Uchi Miami brings the acclaimed nontraditional Japanese dining concept of James Beard Award-winning Chef Tyson Cole to the heart of Wynwood Arts District. Founded on the Japanese word for 'home,' Uchi delivers an elevated balance of artful sushi, seasonal omakase, and inventive small plates in a cozy yet upscale setting at 252 NW 25th Street.

The menu spotlights signature dishes like the gyutoro nigiri with 72-hour short rib, walu walu, and the iconic hama chili — all crafted with precision and freshly flown-in fish. A daily happy hour from 5–6:30pm makes this destination accessible without sacrificing quality.

With a full bar offering great cocktails and an extensive wine and sake list, Uchi is equally suited for a special occasion dinner, a romantic date night, or a convivial group meal. Reservations are strongly recommended, especially on weekends when demand peaks early in the evening.
