The Rawbar Restaurant & Sushi - Sushi restaurant in Chico - 346 Broadway St, USA

A pleasant Saturday afternoon, and finally a trip to the RAW BAR. Our children eat here all the time, but my Wife and I have never stepped foot into this establishment. It was a criminal act We will never repeat. We were seated immediately, and a server was right there to answer ANY questions we had. After perusing the menu, we ordered to indulge both of our palates. We started with Edamame w/sea salt and Shishito Peppers as appetizers, then ordered the Salmon Poke Bowl (2x the meat), then added a Twin Dragon roll, and a Sweet Chili Philly roll for our main courses. It wasn't 5 minutes before everything started arriving. To say the taste was incredible isn't doing it justice! Fresh ingredients, prepared quickly and professionally, and plated with expertise made this meal a wonder to behold! Please don't forget to ask for the fresh ginger and Wasabi to both cleanse your palate and add a kick to your food. After taking our time to eat, we finished and then added dessert. We ordered the Creme' Brule with Raspberry Sorbet, and the Tempura fried Bananas with Coconut Ice Cream. Both were overwhelming in flavor and plating, and the flavors were very tasty on the tongue! We were so pleased with this place and the food we tipped our server 45%, and tipped each cook $10 for their excellant service and attitude. This rivals Japanese Blossom in appeal and taste, AND is actually better in nuance and seating...nowhere near as noisy either. Repeat customers for LIFE!!

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 🍋🐠

On this cold winter evening, the Rawbar Restaurant provided a wonderful respite from the cold and the sea of carbohydrates saturating the downtown area. The Lemon Hamachi (roll), with a lemon slice on top, had a delightfully fresh zest followed by an accent of cucumber that enhanced the Yellowtail flavor. The Tiger eye slam is an amazing roll featuring salmon drizzled with unagi sauce on top and freshwater eel rolled inside, providing a tantalizingly creamy journey for the consumer. Interested in trying one of the tempura fried rolls, we opted for the Philafornia (Ingredients: Krab, avocado, cream cheese). The tempura breading encasing the roll was a familiar, rougher texture that complemented the silkiness of the cream cheese and avocado. Accompanied with the krab, the roll was sweet and calm compared to the sharp flavors of the other rolls we tried. Very pleasantly surprised with the experience. For dessert, we topped off the experience with the house favorite, the Tempura Fried Banana. This decadently indulgent dish is a dichotomy of crunchy and warm, soft and cold. The banana is subtly sweet, the tempura breading is warm and melts the ice cream as you savor it. If it becomes too sweet, there is a single raspberry to balance the sugar with its fruity tart flavor.

This place is amazing. We enjoyed a lovely dinner outside. We even got rained on a bit and didn't mind at all. The food was great and the fried bananas were a perfect cap to the evening.

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!
