Toning down hype[edit]

The place really is notable, and has many good reviews, but the article is far too promotional Toning down the hype, and removing some references that are to advertising-type guides. --John Nagle (talk) 06:19, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

About half way through basic cleanup. Moving references to text, dropping refs which are bare mentions, cut down bio section, unduplicated refs, put publisher in refs. More to do. --John Nagle (talk) 07:25, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Basic cleanup complete. May explore further the connection to the Central Austin Management Group, which owns their building and handles their PR. --John Nagle (talk) 17:21, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Toned down the hype, again. Phrases like "long-awaited follow up to his critically acclaimed" are advertising. --John Nagle (talk) 18:23, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Health Inspection Scores[edit]

This section is not necessary. To a first time observer, the two significantly different scores looks like the handiwork of two editors with dueling interests. The result is a "happy medium" that doesn't serve any purpose but to detract from the professional and impartial tone that Wikipedia is supposed to convey.

I can find no equivalent restaurant whose non-notable health inspection scores are listed. And I can find no news articles signifying the notability of the scores. There is nothing noteworthy indicating a lack of cleanliness at one point, nor is there anything depicting a major turnaround in sanitary conditions. The inclusion of two starkly contrasting numbers implicitly suggests that a notable turnaround has occurred, and that is not backed up by anything I can find. At best, it is original research. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.114.251.35 (talk) 22:34, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A few restaurant articles which mention health inspection records:

--John Nagle (talk) 23:00, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In all of those cases, the health inspection records are contextualized and proven noteworthy by news stories involving the restaurant's health issues. In this case, there is no context to prove that the records are anything more than trivia. To a casual onlooker, the inclusion of these records in the article easily implies a noteworthiness that is not there which runs counter to the goal of impartiality.

Also, allowing these statistics creates a slippery slope. Allowing the lower score to be included means that anyone else could reasonably also include a higher score. Given that these paint the restaurant in a negative and positive light, respectively, you are basically encouraging Wikipedia to be the battleground for a passive-aggressive PR war. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.114.251.35 (talk) 00:45, 19 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Opening a pizza parlor[edit]

The Uchi/Uchiko team is opening a pizza parlor in 2014.[1] Per WP:CRYSTAL, this doesn't go in the article yet, but it's worth watching. I took Paul Qui out of the article because he quijt as chef and started his own restaurant. --John Nagle (talk) 05:54, 14 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Photo and captions[edit]

It seems very odd that the one and only photo, which is shown at the top and again within the article, is a defunct Mexican restaurant that's now the site of the sister restaurant Uchi *Houston*, which didn't open until 2012. The article is primarily about the original Uchi in Austin that was started in 2003. Also, the caption in the first instance is "The location of Felix Mexican Restaurant in Houston," with no reference to Uchi at all, while the caption in the second instance is "The former location of the final Felix Mexican Restaurant operation, which has since become Uchi," without specifying that it's the sister restaurant in Houston, even though the photo appears right after the description of the original restaurant in Austin and before the discussion of sister restaurants.
