Nestled in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale, Uchi has long been celebrated as a premier culinary destination where innovation meets Japanese tradition. Now, the acclaimed sushi hotspot is seamlessly carrying that signature evening energy into the daytime with its lunch service (Friday through Sunday and extending to Thursdays starting October 8). It is a midday dining experience rooted in refined flavors, exceptional craftsmanship and a vibrant atmosphere perfectly tuned for the professional crowd.
For those looking to maximize both flavor and time, the three-course Lunch Prix Fixe is a definitive menu standout, and at just $25, it offers an unparalleled luxury value for daytime dining.
- The Starter: Guests kick off the midday ritual with the crisp, refreshing Uchi Gem Salad, made with edamame dressing, cashew pesto and crispy wild rice.
- The Main: The centerpiece of the prix fixe experience is the signature Walu Walu. This dish features succulent, oak-grilled escolar expertly balanced with bright candied citrus, savory ponzu and myoga. It delivers a sophisticated harmony of rich, smoky and acidic elements in every bite.
- The Finale: To wrap up the meal on a clean, refreshing note, a rotating selection of Seasonal Sorbet offers the perfect ending.

Impress guests by adding the fan-favorite Hama Chili, featuring delicate yellowtail, ponzu and a kick of Thai chili.

No power lunch is truly complete without the perfect pairing. Guests can easily navigate the afternoon with Uchi’s extensive beverage program, featuring craft cocktails, premium sake and curated wine, alongside a sophisticated roster of premium zero-proof options.
