Uchi Dallas is the Texas contemporary Japanese restaurant that made tasting menus normal in this city. It runs à la carte alongside its tastings rather than as a pure omakase counter, which makes it far easier to book than the rooms it gets compared to.
A Useful Correction About the Guide
Uchi carries more reputation than almost any Japanese restaurant in Texas, so this surprises people.
| Restaurant | MICHELIN Guide Texas |
|---|---|
| Tatsu Dallas | One star |
| Tei-An | In the selection |
| Uchi Dallas | Not listed |
| Uchiba Dallas | Not listed |
That is not a judgment on the food. It is a useful fact for anyone choosing a restaurant by accolade rather than by appetite, and it means Uchi is bookable on a timescale that starred rooms are not.
The format is the appeal: seasonal tasting menus for the table alongside a full à la carte list, so a group that cannot agree does not have to. Founder Tyson Cole built the original in Austin and the Dallas room on Maple Avenue followed.
Booking Uchi for a group
- Uchi has a private room, but published capacities conflict across listings, with figures ranging from twelve to twenty-eight. We confirm the real number by phone before committing your group.
- No dress code is published. The room reads smart casual on any night of the week.
- Uchiba shares the address and runs as an izakaya, which is the better room for drinks before or after.
- For a seated party above thirty, Musume or Nobu have the published capacity Uchi does not.
We book the table, confirm the room if you need one, and put a car on Maple Avenue for the end of the night: ask the concierge or request a reservation.
Sources and references
- MICHELIN Guide, Dallas selection, checked for Uchi and Uchiba

Private dining capacity is not stated consistently across sources, so no figure is published here. James Beard recognition for founder Tyson Cole is widely reported and not verified here.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Uchi Dallas have a Michelin star?
No. Uchi Dallas does not appear in the MICHELIN Guide Texas selection at all, which surprises people given its reputation. In Dallas the star belongs to Tatsu.
Is Uchi omakase only?
No, and that is the practical advantage. It runs seasonal tasting menus alongside a full à la carte list, so a table that cannot agree on one path does not have to.
Does Uchi Dallas have a private room?
It has one, but published capacities conflict across listings. We confirm the real number with the restaurant before booking a group rather than quoting you a figure that may not hold.
