The raw fish here is always fresh so the sashimi is amazing. I love the Salmon Slam, Baby Caterpillar & New Orleans rolls...just to name a few. Their miso soup, Shaka Tuna, & BBQ Baby Back Ribs are delicious! The service is fantastic and the atmosphere is fun! A MUST TRY!

I read the reviews on here and had very high hopes. It was a nice atmosphere, clean and cool looking. I ordered two 4-piece sushi rolls and waited over an hour for them to come out. Weird, because they didn't require any cooking... and it takes about 5 minutes to roll up a sushi roll. finally I told the waitress... More

I don't go downtown much anymore because of the bums, grifters and homeless attracted to town the last 5 years. Went to a funeral and knew parking would be bad so I went early and to the Raw Bar for lunch. Man it is still great sushi, yes pricey but whether is a funeral or if your taking a girl... More

This restaurant has a great location in downtown Chico. My husband and I recently went for a family birthday dinner. - Amazing appetizers. The miso is unreal. It is the best miso I have ever had. Too often you get stuck with a bowl of broth and one or two pieces of tofu swimming in it- not here! My meat-loving... More

The restaurant setting is very pleasant with some creative decorating. It is located in downtown Chico, but parking was not a problem. The overall area has a nice feel to it. We were concerned when we first came in because of a lack of any sort of greeting or directions on whether to find our own seat or wait to... More

Dropped in for a quick sushi lunch. The smell was a little much for me but the food was very good. I thought the price was a little high but since it was right down town is was very convenient. Try the noddle bowl it was super flavorful.

Located in downtown Chico. A little pricey, but worth it. The sushi here is the best around, very fresh and prepared creatively. The restaurant is small, with a nice atmosphere. You can sit at the sushi bar, or a table. They also offer very nice stir fry dishes, different with interesting flavor combinations.

I am picky when it comes to Sushi. It has to be over the top fresh, and the restaurant must be clean! I have never had a bad experience eating at the Raw Bar - the sushi bar is my favorite spot. This spot is usually busy, especially if eating on a weekend night.

Just in town for the airshow. We stopped there for some sushi. The menu is a bit different than what I am used to for portions. Usually the rolls are made with 8 pieces but this place makes them smaller with only 4. The prices are more than your typical sushi place but their happy hours where nicely priced. The... More
