Excellent experience at BarChi Sushi. The rolls were fresh, well balanced, and beautifully presented, and the fish tasted high quality. Service was friendly and efficient, with good recommendations for specialties. The atmosphere was modern and comfortable, and everything felt clean and well run. Great value for the portion sizes—definitely coming back.

I had the sushi platter and the edamame. I had their old fashioned for a drink (two actually) and they were AMAZING! The food was great. I liked the music they played in the restaurant. It was a bit echoey so probably not the best for a dinner where you’re making conversation. I sat at the bar solo and it was fine. I’d definitely go back!

Where to begin. I visit to Bar Chi Sushi on November 10. I was there with five others — a rare night out together — and I left genuinely disappointed in how the situation was handled.
Shortly after we ordered, the fire alarm began sounding and continued for approximately 35–45 minutes. Throughout that time, we attempted to ask staff if everything was normal or if we needed to evacuate, but no one seemed to know what was going on or how to guide guests. As a result, we left the building several times and checked back intermittently to see if our food was ready. When it finally was, we returned to eat — still with the alarm blaring.
I understand that alarms happen and that some things are out of your control, but what concerned me most was the lack of direction, communication, or acknowledgment from the staff. It left us wondering whether this is the standard for how situations like this are managed at Bar Chi. It certainly didn’t align with the level of professionalism or care I expect.
There was no offering of compensation, and when we asked, we brushed off and told that there would be no forms of compensation for the delay. I am extremely disappointed in how this was handled and would caution others. There are much better tasting restraints around that value a high quality dining experience.

I’ve been coming to Barchi for about 4.5 years now, usually have a good experience. On Monday night 10/13, a friend and I sat at the bar. Menus were dropped off and the bartender said last call for happy hour at 6:45. He came back to take our order and while my friend was mid order, the bartender interrupted and said” are ya hungry?” With such an attitude and honestly very demeaning. It made us very uncomfortable. Yes, we came to your restaurant hungry, isn’t that the whole point of being there? We are both in the service industry and were just taken aback by the whole thing. Work on your customer service skills and if you feel the need to say something rude unwarranted, please internalize it like the rest of us.

Wow, what a great Austin find. The sushi was great and severs all friendly and helpful. Great happy hour specials and reasonable prices. In town for only a few days and went twice. Even returned my sunglasses I left behind the night before.
Recommended and you won’t be disappointed. You will be happy you went there.
BarChi Sushi really impressed me — the décor is modern and stylish, with a fun, welcoming vibe. The staff were super friendly and knowledgeable, and the service was great from start to finish.
I ordered the chef’s sashimi variety, grilled octopus skewers, miso soup, and calamari — everything was fresh and delicious. Their happy hour runs until 7:00 p.m. (an hour longer than most places!) and has a great variety of options, not just the typical limited menu.
Prices were very fair for a trendy downtown spot. I’ll definitely be back — can’t wait to bring my wife next time!

A very nice experience. We were a large party and the waitstaff was so smooth. The pric s were not cheap, but for the service and taste we felt it was money well spent.
