Nine-course chef's tasting for two ($120 total), available daily 4-6pm.

Uchiko Plano's happy hour runs seven days a week from 4pm to 6pm. It features a tiered $3/$6/$9 menu with select nigiri, hot and cold bites, sake, beer, wine, and cocktails -- plus the crown jewel: a nine-course omakase for two at $60 per person. At a restaurant of this caliber, the happy hour is one of the strongest value plays in the Dallas-Fort Worth dining scene.
Happy hour is available daily from 4pm to 6pm at the bar and applicable seating. The $3/$6/$9 structure means:
The standout deal is the nine-course omakase for two at $120 total -- that is $60 per person for a ten-item chef's tasting at a restaurant that regularly runs $150-$200+ per person at full dinner service.
Uchiko Plano is an upscale dining destination, but it has accessible entry points. These are the lowest-priced items on the regular menu -- before happy hour discounts. During happy hour (4-6pm daily), nigiri starts at $3 and drinks at $3.

All menu sections at Uchiko Plano -- from cool tastings and nigiri through the post oak hearth, desserts, and the bar program.
If you are visiting Uchiko Plano for the first time, these are the six preparations most associated with the brand's identity -- the dishes most likely to appear at neighboring tables on any given night.
Hamachi (yellowtail) with Uchiko's proprietary house chili sauce. The single dish most associated with the Uchiko name across all locations -- a cool tasting that has appeared on nearly every menu iteration since the restaurant opened.
A whole lobster roasted directly over the post oak hearth. Served in an oval earthen bowl, this is the most visually dramatic dish on the menu and one of the most-ordered entrees at table.
Post oak grilled Japanese sea bass (suzuki) with a brown butter dashi and fennel. The dish that most precisely captures Uchiko's core philosophy: Japanese technique, Texas live-fire execution, restrained elegance.
Bone-in short rib cooked over the post oak hearth, served with gem lettuce and kimchi vinaigrette. The Japanese-Korean accent on a Texas barbecue cut -- one of the most-ordered hearth dishes.
Nine-course chef's tasting for two guests at $60 per person, available daily 4-6pm. At a restaurant where full dinner service regularly runs $150-$200+ per person, this is the highest-value way to experience Uchiko Plano.
Medium-fatty bluefin tuna belly nigiri, $16.50 per piece or $50 as a three-piece sashimi. Chutoro occupies the sweet spot between lean akami and fatty otoro -- silky, rich, and the most sought-after nigiri cut at this level of Japanese restaurant.
Uchiko Plano marks vegetarian items with a dagger (‡) symbol throughout the menu and explicitly offers a six-course vegetarian tasting menu. Vegan adaptations are noted and available on request for many dishes.
The strongest vegetarian section is Vegetables & Sides, where most dishes are either vegetarian or vegan by default. The hot tastings section includes the vegan-friendly Kinoko Nabe mushroom hot pot ($24). From the hearth, both Nasu ($5) and Kinoko ($7) are vegan preparations.
The restaurant handles allergens and special dietary needs -- notify your server before ordering. Raw and undercooked proteins are served; the standard food safety disclosure applies to consuming raw fish.

Uchiko ("child of Uchi" in Japanese) is the fiery counterpart to the acclaimed Uchi concept from James Beard Award-winning Chef Tyson Cole. While Uchi built its reputation on clean, precise Japanese flavors, Uchiko was conceived to bring smoke and char to the fore -- elevating the same high-quality seasonal ingredients through the prism of a post oak wood-burning hearth.
The Plano location opened at 7801 Windrose Ave. in the Shops at Legacy development and is led by Chef de Cuisine Steffen Perico and Head Sushi Chef Te K Yang. The kitchen blends traditional Japanese sushi craft -- nigiri, sashimi, cool tastings, and maki -- with an expansive hearth program that produces dishes like the Hearth Roasted Lobster and the Suzuki Yaki sea bass, both of which have become defining signatures of the brand.
Uchiko operates in five cities as of 2026: Austin, Houston, Plano, Denver, and Miami Beach. A Bethesda location is announced as coming soon.
Uchiko Plano is located at 7801 Windrose Ave., Suite H 150, Plano, TX 75024, in the Shops at Legacy development in northwest Plano. Complimentary valet parking is available at the entrance.

Quick answers to the questions diners most commonly ask about Uchiko Plano's menu, pricing, reservations, and what makes it distinctive.
Uchiko Plano is the Plano, Texas outpost of the Uchiko restaurant group, which is the "fiery counterpart" to the acclaimed Uchi concept from Chef Tyson Cole. While Uchi is celebrated for clean, delicate Japanese flavors, Uchiko turns up the heat with live-fire cooking over post oak — hearth roasting and grilling become central techniques rather than finishing touches. Both share a commitment to elevated Japanese cuisine and high-quality fish, but Uchiko layers in smoke, char, and bolder flavor profiles alongside its sushi and cool tastings program.
Uchiko Plano is located at 7801 Windrose Ave., Suite H 150, Plano, TX 75024. The restaurant is open Sunday through Thursday from 4pm to 10pm and Friday and Saturday from 4pm to 11pm. Complimentary valet parking is available. Reservations can be made via SevenRooms; walk-ins are welcomed based on availability. Phone: (214) 855-5454.

The happy hour omakase at $60 per person is the best-value entry into the full Uchiko experience.
Several dishes have become defining Uchiko signatures across locations. The Hama Chili ($23.50) -- hamachi in a house chili preparation -- is one of the restaurant's most celebrated cool tastings. From the hearth, the Hearth Roasted Lobster ($41) and Suzuki Yaki ($38, post oak grilled sea bass with brown butter dashi and fennel) are among the most-ordered entrees. The Short Rib ($35) with gem lettuce and kimchi vinaigrette and the Roasted Carrots ($16.50) with salsa macha and maple labneh are also frequently cited by diners. For nigiri, Bluefin Chutoro ($16.50/piece) and specialty specials like A5 Hot Rock ($65) are the premium picks.
