Came in for happy hour and it did not disappoint. Some stuff was still priced pretty high but we each (2 of us) got a drink, a roll, a few pieces of Nigiri and a few different apps for 100$. Everything was good however I wish the edememe had a spicy chili oil or something rather then just the seasoning over the top but I would still order it again! We sat at the bar, bartender was nice and attentive. Food came out pretty quick. closing out was easy. They do a 90 minute validation for parking in a near by garage but I was lucky to find street parking right in front for a few bucks! Barchi hasn't disappointed me yet! read more

A pretty good first visit on a Wednesday evening! We sat outside on the street, and were attended to promptly! It was nearing the end of happy hour, so our waitress offered that we should place an order for happy hour selections soon. We got the geisha and the off menu sweetheart rolls. The food took about 15 minutes to arrive, and both rolls were quite delicious. We did place one extra order after happy hour was over, but unfortunately, we were charged all regular prices for our rolls upon receiving the check. Aside from being overcharged in the food, taking a little bit longer to arrive than we anticipated, it was a good meal! read more

BarChi Sushi - Geisha and Sweetheart Rolls! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

I came here for their happy hour and the sushi is pretty average which was a bit disappointing. I was also excited to try their Lychee Martini, but it was not that great. I felt better knowing I didn't pay full price for it, but at least I gave this spot a chance. Only reason I'm giving them 3 stars is because the service was great. Also, they don't have WiFi available and if you have T-Mobile you wont have any connection/service inside. read more

BarChi Sushi - Orange Dragon and Rainbow Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

Low light sushi restaurant with stone walls and a full on bar when you first walk in and just beyond that there is also a full on sushi bar. Service is pretty fast. Very kid friendly, I came with my 12 year old for his birthday dinner and the server was very nice and gave great recommendations. My son LOVED all of them with her top recommendation, the Samurai, being his absolute favorite. I ordered a Lychee Martini (pictured with the single spring roll and eel sauce plate) which was exactly what I would expect it to taste like. The only hiccup we had was that the parking is pretty complicated. Directly across from the sushi restaurant, the cars all had boots on them, so I would recommend the AMLI parking right behind the restaurant which is validated with a sticker. You pay $5 at the restaurant even tho the parking lot shows different. Sushi Pictured From left to right: Fried Spring Rolls (4), Spider Maki Roll, Samurai, Shaggy Dog, California Maki Roll. read more

I came here with some coworkers and immediately thought it would make a great date spot. The dim lighting, upscale atmosphere, attentive service, and decently large portions all stand out. They offer a two-roll lunch special for $28. While that might sound pricey, it's actually a pretty solid deal by Austin sushi standards. read more

Pretty good sushi experience downtown! The sushi quality was solid and the chicken katsu was well fried but some of the supporting ingredients didn't seem to mesh well flavor wise for me but that could definitely be personal preference.

This is easily one of the more impressive sushi spots in Austin. I just learned of it and I'm excited to go back! Happy Hour pricing is fantastic and a good intro to their offerings. The rolls and sushi/sashimi we had were all well crafted flavors. I love it when the chef adds a little something to the sushi/sashimi while still highlighting the flavor of the type of fish. It's art! Drinks were good. Lychee martini was surprisingly tasty seeing as I usually don't drink anything fruity. It wasn't overly sweet or fruity though. Nicely balanced. Vibe of this place was lively and upscale without being too trendy or pretentious at all. I'll definitely be back and you should give it a shot! read more

We love BarChi happy hour! The happy hour menu is extensive and so far, we've liked every item we've ordered. The passion fruit martini- if you like sweeter drinks-is amazing! I'd recommend making a reservation because when we visited last, the dining room was full of reservations but we were lucky to find a seat at the bar. The bartender was really nice too. My favorite on the HH menu include the yellowtail and scallion roll and the sea salt edamame. We'll definitely be back! read more

We stopped by for a quick bite during happy hour. The sushi quality isn't top-notch, but it's fair for the price. We sat at the bar and our bartender was super friendly and attentive, which made the visit even better. The ambiance is dark, cozy, and chill making it a good spot to relax and catch up over drinks and rolls. read more

I've been here three times now and have had a great experience each time. I would say this is the perfect place to go downtown if you don't feel like paying $200 on omakase or upscale dining, but you still want a nice lunch or dinner. They have some happy hour deals and a great selection of sushi, apps, and drinks. I've never had to make a reservation which makes things easy. I usually street park but I believe they will validate your parking in one of the parking garages. read more

Been coming here for over a decade. Glad to see it's still just as good. I come here for their golden lion role. Something about the lemon slice that really makes this roll one of my favorites in town. We came on a Saturday night at 8pm with a rezzy and our table was ready. Service is great and food comes out fast. It's always really loud here but the music is good and it's the downtown party vibe. It's very dark inside as well. Miso soup: 8/10 Shrimp tempura: 9/10 Golden lion: 11/10 Shaggy dog: 9.5/10 Flying dragon: 7/10 (little soggy) Spicy girl: 8/10 Volcano: 9/10 Love at first sight: 7/10 (apparently a popular roll but not a favorite for us) Cocktails were great too. Loved the lychee martini. 4 stars mainly due to only having 2 restrooms (one unisex each) so the wait can get long and annoying. Outside of this, love this spot and looking forward to coming back. read more

Delicious food, wonderful ambiance, and great service! Shaira was very attentive and very efficient. They used to have dj's on the weekend and they no longer have it so that was a little upsetting. Otherwise, great vibes and great food! read more

Had dinner here with two daughters. Jasmin was a great server. We ordered edamame, gyoza, miso soup, white and fried rice, tempura vegetables, chicken teppanyaki, Philadelphia maki roll, and a flying dragon roll. Everything was delicious. The restaurant was within walking distance of our hotel (The Line). read more

Came in for happy hour and everything was delicious! Not pictured, but the fried rice was out of this world as well (I'd recommend getting a side). The sushi was more than enough, and everyone left full and satisfied. Would definitely come back to take advantage of this deal! read more

BarChi Sushi - California Roll & Tempura Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

I hate to leave a negative review but me and my friends had a very below average experience here last night. Overall, the food was fine, nothing to complain about but the service was genuinely terrible. I arrived a little after my friends so when our server came out to take our order I wasn't completely ready so I apologized and ask if he could come back in a few and that I would be ready. I don't think he came back outside for 30 minutes. At that point I ordered my food and I got one item about 30 minutes later and then my other item 30 minutes after that. So total, I think I waited about an hour and a half to get all of my food. To add to the experience, we were sitting outside and when my friends arrived a bird pooped on our table and it apparently made a big mess. That was obviously no one's fault so we weren't upset at all but the waitstaff was not very helpful. Then it happened again later and the bird pooped on my friends head very unfortunate but our server did not care at all. We ended up moving tables but overall he was completely emotionless and unenthusiastic for our entire time at the restaurant. read more

A majority of the food is pretty good, but the first time I went, it took over 15 minutes to be seated. The restaurant was half empty. Second time I went, I asked for salmon teriyaki. It was supposed to come with rice but once I left and got home I saw no rice. Other times I've been, they've just have terrible service or have hung up on me before I finish placing my order through call. read more

I had dinner last night at BarChi Sushi before the Sarah Millican show at ACL live and it was a very pleasant experience. I was signing a bone I was able to take advantage of the happy hour from 3 to 7 PM. They are not only sushi rolls but there are specialty drinks and appetizers like calamari with sweet chili sauce . It was really delicious and perfect portion sizes. The service was very pleasant. Jasmine was really on top of things. The ambience is relaxing and the low lighting was perfect for winding down after a stressful action pack day. I'm already planning on coming back. Definitely love the rainbow roll, which is on the happy hour and deep fried calamari. They also have vegetable tempura, which was delicious as well. I suggest the lychee martinis and apple yuzu martini! Yes "sss" with an s as in many of them lol A must try if you are in Austin. Also, very affordable you get plenty for what you pay for. read more

Whomever the hostess is who told me I needed to wait 10 minutes to be seated at an empty seat at the sushi bar and then promptly seated someone else with no wait should be dope slapped along with the assclown who trained her. They can both go kiss my ass. I've run both front and back of house and the only business she'd have with me would be out the door. I waited all week to do happy hour at the sushi bar and your hostess fucked up. This was 30 minutes ago, and I won't be back. By the way, I've played music in this town for decades and will cheerfully repost this on social media. Get your act together. read more

On Sunday, it's all day happy hour which is really nice because you can eat off the happy hour menu anytime and there's a lot of selection. My friend and I were able to sit right behind the bar. It was around 3 PM so it wasn't crowded yet. Parking is kinda hard so just plan for that. We ordered a mock tail that was delicious with hibiscus mint and something else. We ordered a couple of skewers (baby octopus and beef are my fav) , a couple of rolls and you can get really full and it's yummy. Staff are really great. read more

BarChi serves an extensive and impressive happy hour menu that cannot be matched. During the weekdays (Mon-Thu), happy hour is served for dinner from 4-7 pm, while on weekends (Fri & Sat), happy hours run from either 4-7pm or from 10pm-12 am. Sundays offer happy hour ALL DAY. On the menu, you'll find various rolls, nigiris and appetizers. BarChi is not very memorable, nor does it serve the best sushi, but for the price, you can't beat it, especially when you crave sushi as much as I do! read more

We were pleasantly surprised when we stopped in for lunch during happy hour. Food comes out quickly and is reasonably priced ($2-5 off regular priced rolls + most appetizers are ~$10 each). The rolls are a bit heavy handed with rice and sauce, but a good option if you're looking for a quick bite under $50 for two. HH Days + Hours: M-Sat 4-7pm, Sun all day! read more

Barchi sushi offers a wide variety menu featuring all of your favorite Asian dish cuisines. From sushi, rice plates, noodles, and small and large plates. In downtown with a great vibe with it being very active on a Friday night. I didn't have to wait to long for a table. The food was good but didn't blow me away the bill can add up with 2-3 people. The staff was friendly and everything came out in a timely manner. They also have a happy hour offering a lot of great food and drink specials. read more

I wanted to get sushi happy hour, and barchi is probably the place to go for just that. I went on Sunday where it's happy hour all day. Because of this, you cannot put down a reservation for Sundays (which makes sense). I called the day before to confirm this and they were more than happy to let me know that I could call them to see how busy it was on Sundays before coming. I decided to go 30 minutes after they opened but was surprised at restaurant being more than 50% full. The place is naturally dark inside, so I would recommend eating on the patio during nice and bright days. However, be prepared to put a card down for that. The place is casually nice, not fancy or intimidating, but nice enough to meet up with some friends at to catch up. Their menu is quite extensive. You can easily get something anyone wants on there. From hot to cold to raw to cooked, there's always something. Happy hour is mainly sushi, though. Seems only a very select portion of the rolls are on happy hour. Portions were nice, good selection of sake, sake bombs were a bit pricey for even happy hour but prices in general have been up all around Austin. The spicy hamachi tacos are something I would pass up. It genuinely tastes like 5% yellowtail and 95% wholly guacamole. Service was decent. Nothing to really complain here. Quintessential happy hour sushi spot. It's here for a reason, so I would recommend it for a casual sushi spot any day! read more

BarChi Sushi - Spicy Hamachi Tacos - Sushi Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

Late night happy hour! What more could you ask for? My friend's first time at BarChi. She went a little overboard wanting to try many things. I started with the large Sho Chiku Bai unfiltered sake. My friend had a Hibiscus mint martini (the server said it was the least sweet martini). It was still fairly sweet. As a vegetarian, she ordered the Vegetable Tempura, Fried Spring Rolls, Seaweed Salad, Shitaki mushroom skewers and a Avocado roll which we shared. I also had a Sea Bass and an Escolar nigiri both were excellent. (If you don't know, use caution when having Escolar. Eating too much of this fatty fish will result in disastrous consequences. Look it up! I learned the hard way in the past) My friend ordered the Spicy Strawberry martini which wasn't very spicy but was more sweet than the first. We closed down the restaurant and had a very pleasant late night downtown. read more

I stopped by for an early dinner with friends and this place was amazing. The food and service was spot on while the ambiance is minimally chic and cozy.

First off. The Tuna Pizza at this place has my heart. Quite literally will go here just for that. The service has always been great. Sundays have a great happy hour but you might have to wait but absolutely worth it. Decent size restaurant with plenty of indoor seating and when it's nice out, cute patio tables. So many great rolls but you MUST try the tuna pizza. read more

*I don't eat sushi so the review of those items comes from my companions. We came with a large group for happy hour and this place did not disappoint! Great cocktails $5 appetizers and $5 cocktails. All of the food that came out of the kitchen was on point and delicious. I had shrimp tempura and gyoza. Both were perfect. This spot is definitely worth a return trip. read more

4 out of 5 stars Solid happy hour spot! I was looking for a place downtown to meet up with friends and family for happy hour, and stumbled upon BarChi Sushi, I'm glad I gave it a shot. The vibe is what you'd expect from a modern sushi spot: relaxed, clean, and comfortable. Our waitress was super friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. We stuck with the usual happy hour suspects.. spicy tuna rolls, salmon rolls, and a few others. Nothing mind-blowing, but for the happy hour price? No complaints at all. Everything hit the spot, and the portions were fair for what you pay. If you're looking for a chill spot downtown to grab decent sushi and drinks without breaking the bank, BarChi definitely fits the bill. read more

Cannot say enough great things about this sushi restaurant. We got sat immediately which was nice. The service was amazing and we really liked our waitress. She was very knowledgeable about the rolls and took my friends dairy allergy into consideration when she was ordering. Happy hour is from 4-7 and the menu is amazing. It was nice sitting at the sushi bar. I loved watching the guys make our food in front of us. There is plenty of seating in the restaurant and outside. I would recommend making a reservation if you don't want to sit at the sushi bar. The sushi was fresh and delicious! Parking is a little tricky. Overall great experience!! read more

Food: 4/5 BarChi during reverse happy hour is absolutely unmatched by anywhere else in town. The gyoza, sushi, tempura, and even their steaks are incredibly good during this time. Add some sake and other drinks on top for a deal, and you'll have a great evening. Outside of happy hour, the prices can be a little steep for the quality that you're getting. Service: 5/5 The service is always very quick and flawless. Great for large parties as well! Environment: 5/5 If you're expecting to have an absolute blast in a party-like atmosphere and music, then BarChi is exactly where you want to go for sushi. Parking is a nightmare based on their location downtown though. read more

I ordered the bacon and scallop skewer, ceviche tostada, shiitake mushroom skewer, grilled squid, dynamite roll, and coconut pineapple juice. The only thing I would get again is their shiitake mushroom skewer. I might go again and just get that only. It had an umami and charred taste but still juicy, so good! I went on a Sunday so it's happy hours all day. The ceviche tostada was the worst. It was flavorless and fish didn't taste good. The bacon and scallop was decent. The dynamite roll crawfish was a bit underseasoned and it came out cold. The grilled squid need a bit more flavor. The coconut pineapple juice was more like coconut milk and pineapple. I was thinking of them using coconut juice because of the name. read more
