by Shantay Wahlenmaier on I recently went to Bar Chi with my spouse for a workday lunch. It was the first time we had been there, so we decided to try a variety of different items to get a lay of the land of the place. Here's what we ordered. 1. Crudo of white fish, salmon, cucumber and avocado - great flavors, came with 4 perfectly crunchy chips; wished it had been bigger 2. Calamari - easy to do mediocre, hard to do well - this version was a little heavy on the batter but overall good 3. Mussel pot - lovely plump fresh mussels in a thin cream sauce - very good; could have used more garlic 5. Steak soba salad - tender grilled steak over noodles and fresh greens - came with two different dressings to try - yum (steak comes very rare - ask for it to be more thoroughly cooked if that's your preference) There weren't many people there on a Friday at lunchtime, and we got the full attention of a very helpful waiter. Our green tea teapots were refilled with hot water frequently, and the tea was very strong (as is my preference). Finally, I cannot but also compliment the place for having brown rice available (Piranha doesn't, just FYI), so I ordered a bowl on the side. It was EXCELLENT rice. Normally brown rice at restaurants is mushy and glumpy - this was perfectly made - sticky but with nutty, chewy, slightly al dente grains. A+ on the brown rice, folks. The interior of Bar Chi is standard slick urban sushi bar - very cool, but nothing outstanding. It actually doesn't look like they did much remodeling after Yu left. One final thing - the sink in the womens bathroom was really cool, but there were so many water drip stains on the counter and paper towel dispenser that I wondered how often the place was cleaned. I would have given 5 stars but for the dubious cleanliness of the bathrooms. I was sad when former Yu Sushi closed down - but Bar Chi has has lessened the pain substantially. Great food - hope this place sticks.
by Valeri Boeser on I'll have to try this place again because the cappuccino I got was fantastic, but the date I was on was not. The atmosphere is really great, but you'll have a hard time finding one of the cozier spots near the fireplace, particularly if you are with someone. I'll have to go back, and try again.
by Katie O. on Want to see your friends gyrate and move their bodies in ways you've never seen? Then go here. Dance your ass off, drink lots of yummy drinks, and feel like you love life, because as you dance without any inhibitions you will realize that you do. Others say it gets too crowded, but I went with a group of ten people and we got there at 10 pm on a Saturday and left at about 12:30 am and everyone told me that they actually enjoyed feeling like they had space to dance. Must be open to different kinds of music, don't come here if all you want to hear is the latest Rhianna song or that awesome new Sean Kingston song. Hey, I admittedly like dancing to those songs (I know, don't worry I've had therapy)...but this is not the place if that's all you want to hear. Oh, and it's cheap! Yea, $3...or if you have lots of peeps they will help you out. It's kind of like sliding scale payment for therapy (see, I told you that I went)
