Why it's listed
Uchiko Houston (Uchi/Uchiko group) is an open Japanese omakase restaurant at 1801 Post Oak Blvd whose current first-party menu carries a genuine multi-item Wagyu program: an A5 Wagyu Hot Rock (grade stated, no brand/prefecture), several Westholme Wagyu items (gyutoro, bavette, 72-hour, take nabe add-on), gyumaki "australian wagyu," wagyu tartare, and tiger cry. No offering discloses full provenance: the Japanese A5 lacks a brand/prefecture, and the Westholme/Australian items lack an AUS-MEAT marble score. The candidate address (904 Westheimer, 77006) is actually sister-restaurant Uchi Houston.

Common questions
- Does Uchiko Houston serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on July 18, 2026. What the menu does not do is say which Wagyu: no prefecture, grade, breed status or producer is published, so the sourcing cannot be checked from outside. That is a gap in what is written down rather than a suggestion that anything is wrong with the beef, and plenty of kitchens buy carefully without printing the details.
- What kind of Wagyu does Uchiko Houston serve?
- Its menu discloses Westholme and A5 Japanese. Each of those is taken from the venue's own current materials rather than from a review or a listing site, and the evidence behind it is quoted further down this page.
- Why is Uchiko Houston listed without a Wagyu badge?
- Because a badge here means the sourcing was checked, not that the food is good. This listing is published because the venue genuinely advertises Wagyu on its own current material, and it carries no badge because that material does not say which Wagyu. If the venue publishes the prefecture, grade, breed status or producer, the listing can move.
