The beginnings

Japanese food,
a red house,
and a dream.

In 2003, Chef Tyson Cole opened his first restaurant, Uchi, in a modest red house located in Austin, Texas. Uchi was a way for Chef Cole to re-interpret traditional Japanese food and bring the sushi bar into the entire restaurant. By 2005, he was named Best New Chef by Food & Wine magazine and in 2011, Chef Cole was awarded the James Beard award for Best Chef, Southwest, one of the only sushi chefs to ever receive the distinction.
