X-bar Sushi

This place serves sushi???
As far as I remember, X-​bar was always a gambling, smokey joint with shady asian characters inside. Like super-​asian people, the kind that smoke and constantly talk in a foreign language, even when there are non-​speakers around. The bar tenders have alotta attitude and nothing to back it up – boring. I thought bartenders were supposed to have personality?
Its extremely smoky inside – super gross. Drinks arent even special so I have no idea how this place is surviving. This is a scary place.

I’ve never been here for the sushi, actually I had no idea it was a sushi place until I Unilocaled it. After hours this place turns into a karaōke bar, a straight out of Asia smoke filled karaōke bar. They have 3 private rooms for groups and once those are all filled and you still feel like doing karaōke you can sit out in the restaurant area and sing out there. The waitress will give you a mic if you ask for one. For about $ 250 you can sing to your hearts content, or for 3 hours which ever comes first, while getting an unlimited supply of beer served to you.
If you’re not a Chinese speaker you WILL feel out of place since the that’s the only type of people that hang out here.

You go to this place if you like to Smoke in doors and HK people. Do so only if you are absolutely comfortable with the two. They are both common here. You will be seated with a dice cup. There will be an ash tray in front of you. And people would be speaking chinglish around you. Bar tenders really look like they are straight out of a movie. Aside from those two bright stars, nothing special about this place.

Ive never been here to eat, but its connected to a small bar that ive been too. I live a few blocks away so i decided to check it out. Well was that a crazy night my friend and I decided one drink because when we walked in we were the only non Asian people… not to mention he has red curly long hair and I was way over dressed! So we had one drink and then saw that they had private karaōke rooms and convinced the manager to ask one of the rooms to let us come in for a song or tow. Well a song or 2 ended in one of the longest and most intoxicated nights ever. We ened up being in a room for a bachelor party and man did the have drinks and they were very nice and invited us in on the party. One of them especially loved my friend and I think he though he was Sean White (Happens a lot to him) because he was buying him Hennessey all night and kept saying «you teach me to snowboard».
So if your in the neighborhood and need a drink, stop in and sing some songs. it’s very small bar with very high celings so its not the most inviting… but I had a good time the one time I went

This place is only a few blocks from my house, so I figured it was worth a try. When I walked in I was greeted with a cold, dark and somewhat sad looking room. It had tall ceilings which were taller than they are wide and long. For some reason the two times I was there (during the afternoon), there was not another soul there. The place looked deserted! Both times my group (around 4 – 6 people) and I were seated in the exact same spot. Possibly the darkest and sadest corner of the entire restaurant.
Onto the food. Their standard rolls were okay, nothing too special, but not too bad either. Definitely not sushi that I’ll be craving anytime soon. So does this place have any redeeming qualities? Perhaps. They have an interesting looking lounge’ish bar attached to them, which might come alive at night.
Just goes to show you, don’t put restaurants in the middle of a dense residential district (unless it’s 9^th and Irving).
