Welcome to UCHU
A cevicheria and raw bar in the heart of Vancouver’s Chinatown that celebrates the vibrant flavours and incredible diversity of coastal Peru.
A deep dive into
Peruvian coastal soul.
“At UCHU, we celebrate the bounty of the oceans and take you on a journey along the coastlines of Peru, from north to south.”
CHEF RICARDO VALVERDE
A coastal belonging.
After the success of SUYO, Chef Ricardo Valverde continues to share the vibrant flavours of his Peruvian heritage with UCHU — a love letter to a childhood spent along Peru and Canada’s coastlines.
UCHU is Valverde’s vibrant expression of Peru’s storied seafood traditions presented with passion and flair. A lore as rich, colourful and diverse as the oceans.
Born in Peru and raised in Canada, Valverde brings over two decades of culinary experience to this new chapter. UCHU reflects a deep connection to his homeland — its spirit, ingredients, and convivial dining culture — while embracing Vancouver’s dynamic culinary scene.
For Valverde, UCHU is more than a restaurant — it’s an evolution of the story that began with SUYO, inviting guests once again to experience the flavours of Peru, reimagined and alive in the Pacific Northwest.
