This was my second visit to Bar One, I enjoyed my Sushi dinner takeout on the first visit and was looking forward to a repeat. On this evening, I was joined by my co-diner who prefers Chinese food to Sushi. We ordered: * Salmon Sashimi (2 orders - 3 pieces each) * Fantastic Roll: Salmon, Tuna, Yellowtail, Avocado, Fish Roe with Soy Paper * Gyoza * Spring Roll * Pork Dumplings (Fried) * Chicken Fried Rice Total: $73 with tax and tip. The Salmon Sashimi was very good, thick slices of fresh and buttery salmon. The Fantastic Roll was good, albeit not fantastic. The menu mentioned fish roe, but I didn't see or taste any. And rounding out the good dishes was the Gyoza, which was nicely prepared, light and crispy. However, the last three dishes ranged from just okay to categorically terrible. The Spring Roll was okay, we've had better, but it was passable. The Pork Dumplings were unappetizing, the dough was much too heavy, too chewy and most of these remained uneaten and found their way into the trash. The Chicken Fried Rice was very, very dry and flavorless. My co-diner thought it was the worst fried rice she's ever eaten, and most of it was dumped in the trash. The big takeaway from our takeaway dinner was, come here for the sushi, not the Chinese food! read more

Comfortable and homey ambiance! We had heard so much about Bar One but never had the chance to visit. We went during lunch time (they have lunch specials), but we noticed so many tables had the pupu platter. We appreciated that this restaurant's meat actually had a meaty texture and not overly tenderized and questionable like many other Chinese restaurants. The vegetables were not mushy on the platter. I loved how the fried rice is like old school fried rice with bean sprouts. The food wasn't too sweet nor salty. We will definitely be coming back with more family! read more

Quality sushi with great staff but in a loud environment. I went to Bar One and Sushi for lunch. I ordered crab rangoons, gyoza, and a love boat for two. The menu is quite extensive, which isn't always a good sign. The gyoza were very good, pan fried and filled just enough with a tasty filling. The crab rangoons were less successful, though the filling at least was more than just sweet cream cheese I was still wondering where the crab was. The love boat for two was portioned very well for what two people would eat. Not too much, nor too little. All the sushi and sashimi consisted of fresh ingredients, and the rice/fish proportion was spot on. The service was attentive and friendly. I was a little surprised that the tea wasn't a free refill, but it's not expensive. So the star comes off for how loud the place was. Maybe my own failing to not read the name of the establishment, but it was a detractor for me, and this is my review. I can 100% recommend you come here, give this place a try. Reasonable prices for great food. Also, I initially sat on their bench seating along the left wall, but it is very high and, being tall, this made for an uncomfortable seating experience. Switching to a chair resolved this. read more

We love getting take out from here. Their prices are about average too. The restaurant itself is always packed which is why we always do take out. The food is always very fresh and it has a lot of flavor. Compared to other local places this place just doesn't compare. The only problem we have is that our kids like the other places because they got used to them! The lo mien has lots of vegetables and you can tell it is cooked right when ordered. The spare ribs are meaty and tender. read more

Great Team, Great Food, Great Time! The friendly atmospheric-tone is set by the owners and results in one of the last surviving neighborhood gathering places in town to enter with old fiends and make new ones on every visit. Great Spot!!! read more

BAR ONE is ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!!!!! Nothing comes close sighing 50 miles. Forget Baba!!!! They cannot hold a candle to the quality and service at BAR ONE!!! Try AVOCADO BOMB AND BAR ONE ROLL!! These are their signatures dishes! The staff there is very friendly and accommodating. They also have the best Hot and Sour Soup in the area as well!! DONT MISS BAR ONE!!!

Bar One and Sushi - Customized Sushi Deluxe - Sushi Bars Near Me - Auburn, Massachusetts

I own a business in the same plaza so you might think I have a bias one way or the other but I will try to be fair. Bar One & Sushi is a great place to eat, or if you want, to have a drink or two. The Asian food is delicious. I've had sushi there many times and have never been disappointed. It is hard for me to comment on the other Asian options because I am a sushi fan but those who dine with me have liked their non-sushi choices. I don't think that they have ever been disappointed. I highly recommend Bar One. If you haven't tried it I'd suggest giving it a try. The atmosphere is friendly and casual. The service is quick and, if you need some help in understanding the menu options, the servers are very helpful. Again, highly recommended. read more

A group of 5 of us went on a Friday night. We waited about 20 minutes or so since it's a small restaurant. The sesame chicken didn't come with any rice, which was surprising. I'm glad one of my friends got a large white rice and we were able to share. Besides that, the chicken was delicious. We also got a mini platter. "Mini platter C" which came with crab rangoon, chicken fingers, boneless spareribs, and chicken teriyaki. It was plenty for 2 people to share. The chicken teriyaki was delicious. The boneless spareribs were great. The crab rangoon & chicken fingers were good but not my favorite. Overall, it's not my favorite place for Chinese but it has some awesome choices. We had good service, too. I'd probably eat here again if I was in the area. read more

Bar One is always a great choice for wat in or take-out. The sushi is fantastic and their chicken fingers are better than any other around. The staff at Bar One is fun and friendly. They do a great job. The seating can be a little cramped but just because this place is so popular! read more

Best beef teriyaki and boneless spare ribs around. Service is great and it's always busy which is a great sign.

5/5 stars. Staff was very friendly, the restaurant was very clean, and best of all the food was amazing. If you are in the area check this place out ! read more

This place is ok. It was busy during lunch and has a pretty cool atmosphere. The sushi quality is average. It doesn't compete with other places in the area such as Kai or Wily's for quality of fish whatsoever. It's just your average sushi quality. The food came out fast and I believe the bartender was new so there will be a learning curve for her. The only reason I came by is that my barber recommended it today and I happened to be in Auburn today. I doubt I'll return. read more

Took our granddaughter to lunch at Bar One a s Sushi. She enjoyed her vegan sushi the food my wife and I had was almost average. Chow fun was bland and tasteless fried rice was heavily seasoned with 5-spice and obviously not the right taste. Service was fine we won't rush back. read more

This is my go to p,ace when staying down the street at the hotel for work. If we have a group of people and I suggest sushi for dinner we all know we are going here. Thee is on place closer to the hotel but it is not even close the their sushi. The service is hit or miss iwhen visiting the restaurant . The restaurant is always too loud. The louder the patrons the louder they crank the music. STOP turning up the volume. It just makes everyone talk louder over the music. Today's order was a grub hub delivery as I am alone on this trip. I ordered the sushi and sashimi combo along with a rainbow roll. This time they provided the less sodium soy sauce with my order. That is actually what I normally use in their restaurant. It is not the best sushi I have had, but I make it one of my meals every trip to the Auburn area. If you are a California roll from a grocery store person or prefer sushi from a Chinese buffet, stay away as their sushi is raw and takes a bolder person to enjoy it. read more

We got $150 worth of food for Christmas Eve take out. We have done this at various Chinese places for years. We tried BarOne on the advice of a friend. This was by far the best we have had. The BarOne special ribs are fantastic. Rice was moist and flavorful. Spare ribs were moist, tender and sweet. Rangoons were very full of crab and cheese. wings were top notch. With such a large order-they got it all right. It was hot when we got it home. We will definitely go back. In the past with other places like Nancy Chang, Yong Shing, red Pepper...we usually had sub par food with errors and it was usually no longer hot. BarOne is great and will definitely be going back. read more

A variety of sushi rolls, they have soy paper as an option for those allergic to seaweed, like me. The fish tasted fresh, the place was clean, Brian was attentive without being overbearing. The food was delivered in a timely fashion and the prices were reasonable. Should I come across coworkers from LA having to travel to Auburn for work, I'll definitely tell them this is a go to spot read more

In town on business for 4 nights, felt like Asian food. This place was recommended by customer . Absolutely fantastic...service was great, place was clean and comfortable, food was delicious. Egg rolls, salmon sushi, pork fried rice, kung po triple delight all were out of this world...Mia tai was really good too...wound up eating there 2 out of 4 nights...definitely my go to Asian restaurant when I'm in the area read more

Took our Daughter out for her birthday. Heard good things about Bar One food! We were not impressed at all. It's a Bar that serves asian food and Sushi. I ordered Jumbo General Gao very little chicken and mostly bread not hot at all. Other food was good. Portions were big. Place was cold, had a heater next to our table. Some of the staff had on jackets. Used the restroom and no hot water. It is set up like a cafeteria. Waiter was Ok not very attentive to us. Wont be back. read more

Love this restaurant! The fried rice is so good and all the appetizers are amazing. The special cocktail drinks are very tasty too.

Service is excellent. I don't eat sushi but my husband does and he loved his meal. I had General Gao Chicken and it was very good.

Solid lunch special - chicken lo mein and rice (fried or steamed) with an egg roll came in at just under $11. read more

This place had good sushi but after 2 drinks I was on my butt. Be careful when ordering mixed drinks here - you will need an Uber after just one. They poor heavy - and it's not cool. I'd say 3 or 4 shots in a small glass... dangerous. read more

The sushi here is awesome & fast! Nice bar. Clean bathrooms. Convenient location. I love grabbing lunch here.

The food tastes good and the wait staff are very helpful. The goldfish in the aquarium at the front entrance are beautiful to watch. We like the scallion pancakes and the maki rolls and sushi. read more

Love the food here! I just wish they had some hot tea options that were authentic. Also wish the restaurant was a little bigger as it feels crowded in there. I'm sure they do a great take out business. I've had some sushi and specialty dishes here, but the best thing on the menu is the dumplings. Best I've ever had, and I will get them every time I go here. read more

Great sushi and Chinese food. Small place that's often crowded. Great cocktails. Highly recommended

I used to really like this place but tonight it was 3 strikes and your out! Salad was blah, dressing was bland. Boneless spare ribs were overcooked rubber bands with burnt sauce. Lobster roll was boring, couldn't find the lobster or the flavor. Hey, beer was cold!!!! read more

My boyfriend and I were looking for a new sushi place near Worcester on a Sunday night. The first place we tried was closed so we chose Bar One without doing much research. We both ordered Mai Tais, which were strong but tasty. For an appetizer we got a mini platter with beef teriyaki, boneless ribs, chicken fingers, and chicken wings. The boneless ribs were the best I have ever had and we would be willing to come back just for those. We ordered 5 rolls of sushi to split between the two of us because we couldn't narrow it down more. The presentation was great and the sushi tasted amazing! We will definitely be coming back here soon! read more

Ordered the Gung Pao triple delight and the Gai Poo Lo mein and if I was blind folded wouldn't have been able to tell the difference. There was plenty of food but it was very bland. Service was ok, the server was kind but not necessarily friendly. They also had some kind of fire in the kitchen smelled like paper burning. read more
