“Delicious food, good prices and great service. Amazing Butter Chicken!“

“I got 2 grilled tacos, asada and pastor. The BEST tacos around! Crispy crunch in each bite and the flavor of the meat was on point! Nice and fully stuffed tacos. I also got an asada corn tostada. The only tostada that I can find that can hold up perfectly with the mound of toppings on it. Stayed crisped in each bite. Flavor was delicious and they put a good amount of meat and toppings. I spent $21 with a tip. Best money on tacos around.“

“I have gotten the vegetarian plate twice! I’ve gotta say they have the best falafels around!!!! They big, nice and crunchy on the outside, and perfect and flavorful on the inside. Their tahini sauce is to die for. The salad yummy and crisp. Definitely recommend! The dolmas weren’t to flavorful, but dip it in tahini or their amazing hummus and you’ll be amazed.“

Big beer list, cool atmosphere, good service, and rock star food. I got the onion jam and blue cheese burger and it was perfect. Definitely get the Cajun fries. They know how to make quality food here and there were several things on the menu I want to try. I guess I will just have to go back! Don't skip this place when you're in town!“

“Jimmy created wonderful rolls and suggested the most delicious sake. That and his fun, friendly personality made our dinner at Aonami very pleasant and enjoyable. Thank you Jimmy! We’ll be back!“

“Easily the best pizza in Chico. Can't beat buy one get one free!“

“Their food and atmosphere is very high end with prices to match, but a investment in the gift cards you can buy at Costco 20% off is yours to use anytime I was a big fan of the Sunday Brunch on their beautiful patio with local musicians, unfortunately I think Covid might have been a contributing factor to its discontinuation (I'm thinking staffing issues as with other local restaurants that either had to close or cut back hour, even though they were very popular prior to Covid) this still doesn't take away from all their other meal options of superbly creative food with a gourmet flavor profile! My servers have been extremely knowledgeable about the food served and its ingredients (I have major food allergies and a latex allergy so I need to know things like did the prep chef cut themselves and need to wear a finger cot,since as far as I know they still haven't made a Nitrile or vinyl one, I have had anaphylaxis from a salad the food prep cook at a different restaurant wore so I ask this of my servers to save my life and not all are as kind about getting this information as the servers at The Red Tavern have been and all know allergies possible cross contamination.“

“Great Brewery, here's what you need to know: The restaurant is on the left side and the copper vats on the right side. The restaurant staff is super friendly and helpful, the food fresh and delicious. We enjoyed the smash burger and fries, which is nearly large enough for the average adult to split. The beer is amazing with a variety for everyone. Looking forward to visiting again the next time we're in the Chico area.“

“Met with friends for brunch to celebrate our new graduates. Food is good with hearty portions of fresh ingredients. Coffee drinks and cocktails are an option. Rates are very reasonable for what you get. As usual I get two meals out of what they serve.“

“We're from out of the area, and we were psyched to find this quick, yummy lunch after a kids' soccer game! Poke bowl for mama. Two 13-year olds got the chicken katsu combo- plenty leftover for dinner. The other 13 year old enjoyed the BBQ mix-he really liked the scoop of Mac and the variety of meats-also finishing at dinner. Friendly staff, clean place. Luckily, most people do takeout because there are only 2 tables inside, and 2 outside in the sun. Will return next soccer season. Yum!“

“The absolute undisputed king of the Chico food truck scene. Others have come, but are gone now. This place has kept to what they do, which is make tasty food in an kitchen the size of a closet. I've been coming here for so many years I'm not going to mark my age by saying, but it is a bunch of years. I will drive a distance to grab food from here.“

“My daughter and I were walking by to go to Starbucks and saw this place checked out the menu and decided to try them instead of coffee. My daughter hasCeliac disease so no gluten for her so we got it on their gluten free wrap. Anyone that can’t have gluten knows wraps always fall apart and are dry like the breads but their gluten free wraps are amazing they were even better then an original one so amazing my daughter was so happy she had to go back in and let them know how amazing they are. I highly suggest going and giving them a try 100% also the worker was so nice and sweet best customer serviceDietary restrictions: Gluten free options“

“My wife rates the Quesabirria tacos here as number 1 in Chico ca. We have had them from Sacramento to Redding and no beats them in this category. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. The prices are on point. I highly recommend this restaurant. FYI we drive 40 minutes just to eat here.“

“This place is a real gem in Chico! Not a bad seat in the whole place. Great floor for dancing. Of course their beer is pretty good, I appreciate they set everyone up with water. The sound is wonderful. Big cheers to the person who brings the music to the big room, nothing but first class acts!“

It is right on the corner of Shasta and Esplanade easy to get to and lots of parking. I would definitely recommend. I had the Tijuana burrito ? with carne asada. They have a choice if you what is it spicy and I said yes ?.“
