Miami, FL – January 7, 2021 – As a prelude to their highly-anticipated restaurant launch in Wynwood, Uchi Miami hosted a private omakase dinner at Prestige Imports Performing Art Pop-Up at the David Rosen Gallery in Miami Design District with actor and artist Jordi Mollà.

A unique culinary concept from Hai Hospitality, the Austin, Texas-based and James Beard Award-winning restaurant group, Uchi Miami will mark the first time the group has opened a restaurant in Florida and it is its second restaurant outside of Texas. Hai Hospitality’s current restaurants include Uchi Austin, Uchi Dallas, Uchi Denver, Uchi Houston, Uchiko Austin, Uchibā Dallas, and Loro Austin.

Translated from the Japanese word “house,” Uchi is one of the best known and most popular sushi restaurants across the country. Executive Chef and owner Chef Tyson Cole started the first Uchi restaurant in a refurbished South Austin bungalow in 2003. Since then, his signature, non-traditional approach to Japanese cuisine has been credited with elevating the city’s culinary identity and expanding the profile and ubiquity of sushi nationally.

Uchi Miami represents the next exciting step for Uchi and its Owner and Executive Chef, Tyson Cole, who has garnered national attention, most notably a coveted spot on Food & Wine Magazine’s Best New Chefs of 2005 list; a James Beard Foundation Award for “Best Chef: Southwest” in 2011; and a James Beard Foundation semifinalist spot for “Outstanding Chef” in 2016 among many other accolades. His Miami menu will shine a spotlight on sushi and sashimi, as well as makimono, yakimono, agemono and other Japanese dishes.

The restaurant will strike a delicate balance between elevated food and impeccable service in a casual yet sophisticated ambiance featuring thoughtfully designed interiors that subtly integrate organic elements and a modern aesthetic.
