Just went to Raw Bar after they reopened. Very nice after the remodel. But, deinks that used to be in a martini glass are now in the old fashion two sip champagne glasses. So they have raised the prices and you get less. So disappointing. It was $44 for 4 lemon drop martinis! Crazy! I get prices have gone up but don't give me less!

This place is AMAZING. When I went to college in Chico, going to this place's happy hour with my friend Alex was one of my favorite food activities. Things I remember being delicious... the miso soup to start out with (a must) as well as the edamame, shishito peppers, wings, any of their sushi rolls... the tempura hand rolls are yummy, the baby back ribs are INSANE. they had this delicious margarita with a spicy Thai chili syrup in it and basil, it was the best margarita I've ever had but I'm unsure if they still make it. The happy hour deals are fantastic, a great time to try an oyster hot shot (which is also delicious and better than any oyster shooter I've tried elsewhere), but the non-happy hour menu is just as worth it. Delicious sake choices too and a very professional, skilled and charismatic staff to help you with anything you need and decisions about your order. Try a variety of things on the menu when you go. They will make you want to come back as they have with me -- I'll make sure to visit this place every time I ever visit Chico. Miss you guys.

Wow! We made a mistake and entered an incorrect email address when ordering an E Gift Card. Called the restaurant and the manager Darren was able to assist and get the email corrected. Wished I lived closer so we could check this place out. Thanks to Darren and staff for their immediate response to OUR mistake!

Food was great, four stars because the rolls are smaller than expected. Service was great, our server told us what each of the rolls were when he brought them out.

Raw Bar is a taste of the Bay Area without being in the bay area...Fresh locally sourced affordable delicious and a very accommodating
Sushi staple for Chico. Consistently good, cocktails delicious with seasonal specialties. Right in downtown Chico.

if you’re looking for the best place in town to get sushi then this is it pal. Rawbar is our go to spot whenever we feel like celebrating anything. Birthday? Rawbar. Anniversary? Rawbar. Are you just in the mood to eat some amazing ribs and rolls? Rawbar (duuuh). obsessed is an understatement. Josh was our server when we went last night and he was so fabulous and on point. He brought me the most amazing mocktail with lime and mint and it was so yum and refreshing. Whenever we get the ribs I get the sauce all over my face and hands and he gave us hot towels because Josh knew the vibes. Absolute legend. If you haven’t been to Rawbar yet then get it together honestly. Lemon Hamachi roll 4 life ??

Had reservations and stood there while every staff member walks by ignoring, others chatting. Gets seated and Chef hands over the wrong order and got upset for his mistake. 10 mins later they say there's no more of the one specific item I went there for. Ended up with food poison. Horrible place.
Great service and the food taste great and the offer a lot and I would reccimend this place for everyone Misso soup is the best:)

The RawBar Restaurant & Sushi is a culinary gem that combines the art of sushi-making with a delectable array of raw and seafood dishes. My recent dining experience at this establishment left me thoroughly impressed, and I'm delighted to share my review.First and foremost, the RawBar lives up to its name with a stunning array of fresh and high-quality seafood. The selection of sushi and sashimi is not only visually appealing but also an absolute treat for the taste buds. The chef's attention to detail is evident in the presentation and the diverse range of seafood options, from melt-in-your-mouth toro to delicately sliced hamachi. The freshness of the ingredients truly shines through in every bite.The restaurant's ambiance is both elegant and comfortable, making it an ideal setting for a memorable dining experience. The dimmed lighting and contemporary decor create a welcoming atmosphere, suitable for both intimate dinners and group gatherings. The skilled sushi chefs at the bar add an interactive element to the experience, and their expertise is on full display as they craft each piece of sushi with precision.One of the standout features of the RawBar is its commitment to creativity and innovation. The menu includes unique sushi rolls that combine traditional flavors with unexpected twists. Whether you're in the mood for a classic California roll or an adventurous fusion creation, you'll find options to satisfy a wide range of preferences. The restaurant's signature rolls are a must-try, showcasing inventive combinations that push the boundaries of traditional sushi.The service at the RawBar is attentive and knowledgeable. The staff is eager to assist in navigating the menu, offer recommendations, and provide information about the various seafood options. Their expertise in sake pairings also enhances the dining experience, allowing you to explore new flavors that complement your meal.In addition to the sushi and sashimi offerings, the RawBar provides an array of cooked dishes, from tempura to grilled seafood, ensuring there's something for every palate. These cooked dishes are expertly prepared and served with a unique twist, adding to the restaurant's culinary appeal.One thing to consider is that due to the high quality of ingredients and the attention to detail, prices at the RawBar can be on the higher side. However, the quality of the dining experience and the memorable flavors make it a worthwhile investment for those seeking an exceptional sushi experience.In conclusion, the RawBar Restaurant & Sushi is a dining destination that truly stands out. Its dedication to the art of sushi, commitment to freshness, and creativity in culinary innovation make it a top choice for sushi aficionados and seafood lovers. The combination of excellent service, a stylish setting, and a menu filled with delicious surprises make this restaurant a must-visit for anyone seeking an extraordinary sushi and raw bar experience.

Prices for happy hour/lunch are very reasonable. The sushi itself is a bit mellow (it's clear they don't use rice vinigar.) Everything is always very fresh and the staff is super wonderful. Outside is a meh experiance due to trafic (it's right by a stop light) and you can feel the floor vibrading with each step. Very clean and pleasant to visit.

Good fish, but the tiniest nigiri portions I've ever seen - and by a good margin.
