  Kudos to the chefs but the owners need to change their philosophy. I have visited many restaurants around the world and never in my life have I felt so rushed to be pushed out of restaurant. I even tried to politely state to the owners that it would be nice if they didn't try rushing through everything, but to tell me that we should be happy that they even served us threw me over the edge. The fact that they started asking us to put things in to go containers before we even had time to finish our food is just plain rude. The food was still smoking when they gave us the bill. Really???? All I can do is hopefully save some other group from making the same mistake. Please note that I understand that service cannot always be perfect but if you force bad service on someone then it is going to stress them out and make it hard not to enjoy the experience. This is the first time that I have ever had to raise my voice when voicing a concern because at the end of the day the owner would not accept feedback on service.

  Tasty tepanyaki for a fair price. Decor is simple and feels like a low key neighborhood spot that has been around for a long time. High quality tender New York and scallop combo was $31.50 with the typical mixed vegetables and fried rice, miso soup, and small simple iceberg salad. Hubby had teriyaki steak which was around $26 and was very pleased with taste and quality. Unfortunately they rush you in and out to make way for the next group. Not a place to linger over dinner with friends. 4 stars for quality of food but 3 stars for the decor and experience.

  We have been going here for years. Very disappointed in our last visit. We made reservations for 10 for 5PM on Sunday the 23rd of February 2019. A couple of our members were running behind. Now I understand that this can be annoying for a place like Bari Bari. So we apologized for the delay but told them we could be seated and they could start cooking as we knew our friends were on their way and would arrive shortly. This was not good enough. The staff were very short with us. Not pleasant at all. The rest of the group arrived and the meal went as expected. They did bring Beer for our birthday folks which was nice. But here's the rub. When they brought our bills they added a charge on without listing it explicitly. My bill showed my meal and my wife's. Then it showed drinks and tax. The total was more than that. THEY LITERALLY HID THE GROUP SURCHARGE. C'MON MAN. I HAD ALREADY PAID AND ADDED A TIP. WTF? Normally we go as a group of 4 to 5 couples. We are used to restaurants adding the tip on to the bill. We get it and not the least bit bothered by it. But it is not necessary to hide it. I think that was rude and unprofessional.
