There is a very trendy sushi-based (fusion that begins with sushi and other traditional Japanese things) restaurant called Uchi that is headed by Tyson Cole who is a sushi master. We've been there several times but not recently. We can walk to it now because it is only at 801 S. Lamar. (Although the walking conditions on the north side of the river aren't great for that walk in the evening.) I had always heard that Uchi meant house because a waitperson there said so. (I know nothing about Japanese.) The restaurant, in spite of this trendy sign and the trendy food, is in an old house. Even their WEB site promotes this definition but a little looking online seems to indicate that it means 'interior of a house.' So come inside and dine. But a reservation is a good idea and not that easy to come by, I don't think.
