Cafe provides
quality food;
polite service

From page 37
(ered range from $5 up to $7. A
bottom-line bonanza.

Breakfast, of course, is even
more reasonable at Bara‘s, but we
sampled the evening fare.

The cafe offers a stripped-down
version of Japanese cafe cookery:
from soups to teriyakis and tem-
puras (11 altogether, with Bara’s
Special Beef Teriyaki, featuring an
eight-oz. New York steak for
$10.25, the marquee headliner
here) to rice and noodle dishes
and Maki-sushi.

The more conservative can ,
choose from Bara’s sandwich and
hamburger selection ($3 to $5.50).

Bara‘s is licensed for beer and
wine, which includes some Japa-
nese brews and the always seduc-
tive hot sake ($3).

Table Hopping opened with a
tall-necked Sapporo Draft ($3.75),
stightly chilled and accompanied
with a Japanese chicken pate of
thin sliced breast and thigh meat
in a giblet gel.

The pate was prepared with rice
vinegar and had strong, somewhat

overpowering, teriyaki flavors.

We followed with an in-
vigorating Clear Soup ($1.50) and
orders of Prawn Tempura ($7.25),
Salmon Teriyaki ($6.25), and
assorted Maki-sushi.

The tempura included a halé
dozen prawns and slices of tem-
pura eggplant — clean, fresh and
simole.

The teriyaki was a full entree. lis
small salmon steak was accom-
panied with a mound of Japanese
sticky rice, stir-fried vegetables and
Romaine lettuce salad.

Rolled maki-sushi comes in five
varieties at Bara’s -—- California,
Salmon, Tekka (tuna), Kappa (cu-
cumbenr) and B.C. (crisp salmon
skin). Per-roll price goes from
$1.75 up to $3.75.

Bara’s food is neither complex
nor is it presented with brilliant ar-
listic flourishes, but it is good qual-
ity cafe-style food that is served in
genercus portions by polite,
hard-working people. .

It’s a combination that is hard to
beat when you are in the market
for a quick and honest meal.
