What people say, in short
Many diners recommend Uchiko, and a couple say its menu goes beyond sushi, with more cooked or grilled dishes. One diner finds it nicer in feel than Uchi, another likes its space more, and one who tried the omakase at the Cherry Creek location loved it. Caveats: two say the nigiri pieces feel small, two report slow or poor visits, one found the service good but the food solid rather than standout, and one lunch visitor found the full menu unavailable.
