The Rawbar Restaurant Sushi - Chico

Absolutely stellar!! We were seated at the sushi bar and the 2 rolls we ordered were stellar with unique elements we typically don’t see (crunchy pistachio bits anyone? then we were casually mentioning how we should have ordered a third roll. Mind you it’s close to closing time so we weren’t going to. But to our surprise one of the chefs heard us and said they would be happy to squeeze in something special for us. So another chef stepped in a made us a gorgeous surprise roll not on their menu. It was honestly one of the best sushi rolls we’ve ever had, with more surprises! (Ever had bits of fruit to top your roll? No? You need to right now!! anyway, 10/10 I whole heartedly recommend this place.

This sushi is better than most places in SF where you pay 3x as much, AND the servers and bartenders recommend the best dishes and drinks.

Loved the ambiance, decor, service, cocktails, and garlic edamame. The sushi was good too; however, almost every roll is spicy. I think there are only a couple rolls that aren’t. I’d like to see more options for regular, non-spicy rolls.

Maguro sashimi slices were not as thick as they used to be.

Sat outside and enjoyed the perfect weather. Sushi was very fresh and presentation was beautiful. Enjoyed Ikura (salmon roe), Ninja Roll, Scallop Crunch Roll and Thai Iced Tea. This restaurant is walking distance from Chico State University with a wonderful view of the City Plaza.
