Mietta's Review
This little gem, Darlinghurst meets the Ginza, is welcomingly tucked away from the roar of Oxford St. Recent renovations moved the dining room upstairs, paving the way for a groovy little bar at street level. The food is traditional but creatively presented. Bring a big crowd and share as many dishes as possible - the prices are low but you need quite a few to get broad diversity and to make a meal. Some of the eel plates are particularly rewarding.

Gourmet Traveller Restaurant Guuide Australia 2004, Good vegetarian options,'The Uchi lounge is one of those places that seems to fly under the radar...this restaurant is reliable without being boring, providing interesting food to interesting people...The menu is a modern take on Japenese food...The only disappointment...extremely scatty service'
