Uchi Miami
Modern Japanese Cuisine from Chef Tyson Cole
Coming to Wynwood 25 in Summer 2020
The restaurant’s modern Japanese cuisine melds the best offerings of James Beard award-winning Cole’s original Uchi and second Austin concept, Uchiko. The offerings of Uchi, which translated from Japanese means “house,” include hot and cool tastings, makimono, yakimono, tempura and, of course, sushi and sashimi. Most dishes such as machi cure – smoked yellowtail served with yucca chips and marcona almonds – and kinoko nabe – mushrooms, rice and egg yolk cooked together tableside in a ceramic bowl – are designed to be shared by the table.
“There are few cities as dynamic as Miami,” says Uchi chef and Owner Tyson Cole. “For a concept like Uchi -- always striving to find new and unexpected flavor and texture combinations -- the beautiful location, mix of cultural influences and thriving arts community -- make it an incredibly exciting location for us.”
This is the eighth restaurant from Hai Hospitality, the restaurant group based in Austin, Texas. Owner and Executive Chef Tyson Cole’s Uchi Miami marks the first time the group has opened a restaurant in Florida and the second restaurant outside of Texas. Hai Hospitality’s current restaurants include Uchi Austin, Uchi Dallas, Uchi Houston, Uchi Denver, as well as Uchiko in Austin, Uchiba in Dallas, and Loro.
