Best Japanese Restaurants in Port Arthur

Came here for a rare night out with my husband and thoroughly enjoyed it! Arrived a bit early for our reservation and had a drink at the bar while waiting for our table. The ambiance was nice; dim without being overly dark and the noise was moderate despite a fully packed bar area and dining room. Food was superb…we ordered the coconut shrimp (not my favorite, but my husband loved it), spicy tuna roll (excellent), the ribeye and the roasted chicken were equally delicious. I think my favorite aspect of our visit was the service. Friendly and attentive from the moment we walked in, especially considering it was a busy holiday weekend. Can’t wait to return!

This was my 2nd time coming here! I surprised my boyfriend for his birthday. Our waiter, Juan, was awesome! He gave really great recommendations & attended to us regularly throughout the night. I love how at 8:30pm the music vibes change to more late night vibes! Great food. We loved the spicy edamame, crispy rice tuna, Keoni roll, & the golden dragon! We also got the miso cake and the Vietnamese dessert too! We will definitely be coming back!!

The main reason to go to a restaurant is the food, and this place definitely delivered. We shared three entrées, and all of them were worth the price. I highly recommend the short rib fried rice, it was amazing. The only real complaint I have is the DJ, he kept messing with the volume, making it really loud one moment and then lowering it again for some reason. Service was good but a bit slow, which makes sense since it was packed. They forgot to bring our lamb at first, but it wasn’t a big deal, and the manager even came out to apologize, which was nice but not really necessary. Overall, great food, good service, and good vibes.

Inventive dishes. Kenneth’s was a great somakase chef.

Uchi is our special occasion dinner or date night. We love the variety of options (plenty of vegetarian options) and service is always top notch. I like to come during happy hour so that I can order from both happy hour and dinner menu. Linda is my favorite server! She makes really great recommendations and we always have the best dining experience with Linda. Will see you again soon!
