The restaurant will occupy 3,500 square feet, including various seating options like a dining room, cocktail bar, and lounge area. The design reflects vintage Miami aesthetics combined with Japanese alley bar influences, featuring cozy booths and a vibrant central bar to foster a relaxing, social atmosphere. The project emphasizes craftsmanship and intimacy in its design with an inviting ambiance.
Hai Hospitality, the award-winning Austin, Texas-based hospitality group behind nationally acclaimed concepts Uchi, Uchiko and Uchiba, announced today its plans to open a new Uchiba location in Miami's Brickell neighborhood in spring 2026.
The layout favors intimacy with cozy booths, lounge-like seating nooks, and a glowing central bar to encourage guests to enjoy craft cocktails and good conversation.
Uchiba, meaning Uchi Bar in Japanese, is inspired by the spirit of a fiery female trailblazer (much like Mary Brickell, the neighborhood's namesake), the design combines moody lighting and textured materials.
The 3,500-square-foot restaurant will include a 56-seat dining room, a 40-seat covered patio, a 16-seat cocktail bar, and an eight-seat sushi bar designed by Uchiba's architect of record, FormGroup.
