Rude staff, small plates and very questionable service. Shame that this local favorite is now run with arrogance and has lost their passion for service.

Rave about Raw Bars sushi class I attended today. What a fantastic experience!!!! So well organized and informational. You can totally see how passionate and caring everyone at Raw Bar is about quality and service. Making our own food was amazing and tasty. I would totally take this class again. Many thanks to Darren and all the staff for a wonderful experience. See you soon for dinner and another class.

Food was good, but I have had sushi in grass valley and modesto that was far superior in flavor and quantity. One of the chefs kept having his tongue out while working.

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.

A very mixed experience, to put it mildly.

In terms of what they did well: my poke bowl was quite good, as was the tuna shaka appetizer.

That being said, there were some serious issues during our lunch there. The service was subpar: we waited nearly half an hour for my wife's entree: when it came, the sashimi plate was bland and extremely cold. Drinks took forever to get a refill, and dish bussing was basically non-existent. They clearly don't have the wait staff to support a full place. Management was kind enough to take my the sashimi off the bill, but one would expect that for the kind of service we got.

There are better, cheaper Japanese places in town. I won't be returning any time soon, that's for sure. For $30-40/person, the standards just aren't there.

The new location within Robar is awesome because the place really opened up. The outdoor dining is amazing. I sat down for dinner with my hot girlfriend and ordered some rolls, Maguro, and rosé with some Sapporo and hot Sake. The sushi chefs were very friendly. Food was amazing. Service was excellent.
