by D S. on This review is tough. We tried several rolls here and things like cheap drinks and location were really the only thing exciting. The rolls and happy hour selection were disappointing. Ohhhh and the owner staring at us for the entire hour of our dining. He passed our table about 20 times, never stopped to ask how the food was, or to see if he could refill our water, just a very slow pace and an awkward stare. We ordered the Spicy Girl and Volcano roll from the regular menu, the volcano roll was covered with rubbery craw fish, and way too much tempura. The Spicy Girl was great, however not worth $12. The happy hour menu was boring so we ordered the Austin Roll and the Spicy Tuna roll, nothing special here. I could see myself going back to grab one of these $5 rolls for lunch but that's about it. The pineapple infused sake was pretty amazing... major points here! I hate when restaurants charge $1 extra for soy paper, so this was a turn off especially when the waiter asked us if we would like soy paper for 50cents. Overall I think BarChi has a ton of of potential, I will go back and see if over time they get better. I haven't marked them off the list yet.
by Paul F. on "Trendy" is how I see it. Food's pretty good. Bland dressing on the Caesar. Quantity adequate. Where this place excels is in the setting, environment, lighting, environment, etc. We were interested in checking out this place for a rehearsal dinner venue. Afterwards we were led into the room upstairs. Whole new atmosphere. We happened to be there on a Fri nite, so we got to see the place in action. Nice outdoor patio. What else can I say?
