Absolute best Japanese restaurant in Chico. The new lounge is a great place to relax, have a beer and enjoy some great sushi. The girl at the bar is super friendly and recommends the best dishes to try along with desserts. Come to the Rawbar to enjoy the ambiance and friendly service. The food is always consistent and never disappoints no matter what you order. Recommend the ribs and dry aged salmon sushi.

Excellent food and ambiance. Service was great. Enjoyed watching sushi preparation at the bar.

Best sushi in Chico! Their miso soup is great and so is their Shanghai Steak Noodle Bowl. Service was great and it's a super chill place to eat.

Best sushi in Chico , love to take the family and enjoy the miso salmon bowl , a few sushi rolls and finish it off with mochi ice cream for the kids !

Came here for the first time and had a fantastic experience. I absolutely loved my rainbow roll, fried gyoza, salmon smash? roll, the Walu sashimi (omg that's delicious), the Maui something roll (wasn't to my taste) and my friend got a Grapes of Wrath drink and I got a Tradewind (?) drink- not pictured. The atmosphere here is so comfortable and nice, just be prepared for the prices to match all the 5 stars.

This was an easy 5 star. Great downtown location in The Hotel Diamond. Outside seating, inside tables and bar seating. We sat at the bar. That allows us to chat with the sushi master and get a little 411. They have many long time employees, which is evident but the attention to customers service and high quality of food. The menu is huge, with a variety of choices. Their bowls looked to be very popular. Oh and let me not forget the specialty drinks. Excellent experience all the way around.

Since the added room we have come here 3 times and overall have been very happy. Their happy hour menu is nice and tge quality of food is excellent as well as all the staff has cared.

Dined in at Rawbar's Lounge on a Friday for Happy Hour and did not have a wait. The restaurant is very clean and the atmosphere was lively. Waitstaff were very attentive and friendly! The HH "Eats" we chose were just OK though.

Post renovation it's still a pretty solid 4 but it's got work to get to 5. Spoiler alert, the renovation added a bar area, another bathroom, some more seating - good stuff because it was often busy. Same great staff Space is still super nice, outdoor seating is great Menu hasn't changed materially Everything we had was good Always something special for the sushi lover Kids menu is still the best How does it get to a 5? Good variety of rolls but they are all very similar No rolls for people just getting started - they have to go to the rest of the menu 2 kids, adult, beer and some sake - $144 and not feeling "stuffed" was a bit of a bummer, but also not unique to stobke Will be back for sure!

I was new in town, I wanted something light now heavy. Came across Rawbar. When I entered, I was greeted by staff with friendly voice and asked I ordered to go. I sat down and waited until our order was ready. I looked over the restaurant, it had great colors, ambience, and friendly staff!! I would definitely like to return and dine in!!! Our food was delicious but I would suggest if you order the Agedashi Tofu to eat it there. By the time we ate it the coating was gooey.
