First time at Uchi and loved it - the beef gyoza were amazing, some of the best i have had in Dubai and the Angus Sanbo was a great lunch bite. Was there as part of Dubai Restaurant Week so great value. (Tip: if you are driving the valet is on the opposite side of the road so don't follow google maps as very difficult to u-turn)
