    Always passed by this place but never got around to it. But it's just amazing, the food and everything My thoughts will be categorized so it'll be out of order but the numbers will tell you the order it was originally Food: 6. After heavily deciding, I chose, albacore roll, japanese taco (tuna), and oyster shooter. 9. The lady then asked me for my id. Of which I was confused. As you may have noticed if you have seen the menu, oyster shooter is on the drink menu. Turns out, theres alcohol in it. Its an actual shot with oysters in it. (For some reason I didnt compute in my head). So I just asked to remove it from my order but then they offered to just take away the alcohol from it. So I did that. Hoping the price would go down significantly. (I dont think it did but it was still good. ) 10. After more waiting, the oyster shooter came first. It was very little cause I had it with no alcohol when it was supposed to, the glass was cold and I just shot it like it was a shot (not that I drink alcohol lol) cause its a shot idk where Im going with this. It was actually really good. Caution: VERY STRONG FLAVOR. Its not super salty, its just hits you in all the right places (sounds weird). It was delicious. I shot it then, while still in my mouth, grab the oyster a little cause it got stuck at the bottom. The drink Goes down really easy. I was not sure of the taste at first but after having the after taste and all, man that was really good. It might be an acquired taste tho since the flavor is that strong. Also the money is def not in how full you get, its probably mostly from alcohol (which I didnt get) but other part flavor and that made it worth it. Rarely do I see foods that are actually worth the price because of flavor alone 11. Enough talking about oyster shooter. Next one came out was albacore roll. The wasabi was fresh. On first look, that looks like a dot, like how could that be enough, boy was I wrong, I just grabbed a little bit of wasabi onto the sushi and it was still super pungent in the right ways. So good wasabi. Another thing is the soy sauce came in this tall glass with a spout thing. Pours very well. Good sauce. 12. Ok got side tracked, albacore roll, was good. Not in flavor. Actually lacked a bit of flavor which made up for with good wasabi and soy sauce. They do give a fist full in size tho, the rolls were chunky and it definitely made me full. 7. When choosing the japanese taco, they asked me for the topping. I thought they were just the ingredients but the words below the name were actually toppings to choose. 13. Last one is japanese taco. As I've said, I chose tuna topping. It came on top of some kale it looks. The taco was delicious as well. The shell was fried and crisp. The toppings did give it a lot of flavor. Pretty good. I'd eat this again. (Tbh I expected it to be worse since usually anything I've never tried ends up being sad. Happily surprised). The kale at the bottom I also ate. Raw kale, nasty, but I pulled through thanks to a leftover tomato from the taco. Layout: 3. The front lady asked me if I wanted to sit here or the bar, I didnt know what the bar was so I just said bar for the experience. They had a second room if you walk some more. They also had an outside where you could sit outside with some fencing around but can still get the wind and sunlight. I sat in the second room not outside. And then they also told me to pick a seat so I picked the couch. 19. They did make the oyster shooter at the bar/second room. There was also a tv at the bar/second room. It was kind nice cause you get to see a little of the first room and the outside room too. Extra note: 1. On coming in at like 3:10pm ish since goog maps said it opens at 3pm, the door was locked and the lady told me that it opens at 3:30pm so either google lied, it changed, or they needed extra time. 2. When I did come in, all the servers were very nice. 18. I talked to a total of 3 workers. The front lady who always stays in the front for the most part. 2 waiters. 1 a girl and the other a guy, girl came up to me the most, maybe she owned the second room or something. But the guy did ask the same questions the girl asked some times so maaybe some communication going on. It was fine tho. 4. They gave me 3 menus, main menu (sushi and plates), happy hour menu (open time to 5pm) and drink menu. (I took pics of all 3 front and back as you can see) 5. She also gave me a glass of water almost instantly without question. Love these kinds of restaurants 8. After getting the order, I was set and they didnt take the menu so that was nice. 15. Eventually, they asked if I wanted the check, I said yea, they said I can go to the register when I'm ready so that was the last thing they said to me. 17. 5 star, would go again, didnt have a single complaint about the food. Its great service but as an introvert it did hurt some times lol. 20. Deleted some thoughts for text limit

    Spicey tuna roll. So small and nothing but tuna! Pretty bad!

    My order was missing several items, their phone goes straight to voicemail. So that's great. Please follow up with me.

    Been here twice in 7 days, and angry that we haven't gone here before! not sure how long and…read morethey've been here but we've lived out this way since 2017, and never heard of them before 3 weeks ago. When I found this place and found they're open till 1 AM, I knew I found a godsend. Every single cupcake place bakery, cookie place, ice cream place and everything in between closes at usually 5 PM on weekends and 7 or 8 PM on weekdays, as theres zero nightlife in this entire area of CA. Just the fact that they are open as late as they are, long past all other businesses that aren't bars and clubs, makes this place a godsend! On top of it, they're cookies are insane! I just wish they had more options. Both times I've gone I'm looking for more flavor options and there just aren't any. How about Strawberry cheesecake, Mexican chocolate, butterscotch chip, cinnamon chip, Lemon with wht chocolate chips, toffee and chocolate chunk? I literally could go on and on with flvor options. When I'm looking at their menu I have 20 flavor options in my head that would make sense for them to have but they don't. But what I've had, and I've had most of the menu except for the vegan options and the bar cookies, because they've been out each time or bar cookies, have been incredible and I've ordered everything twice now that I got the 1st time. The cookies, unless you get Deluxe, are about twice the size of a chip's A Hoy, but smaller than what you would get at almost any other cookie place and they are not cheap! You can smell the intense and incredible smell of cookies being baked as soon as you walk in though, and if the dough has ever been frozen you can't tell, unlike some of these idiots and other reviews have claimed. They're just lying or stupid. I use frozen dough at home when I'm making cookies and my house does not smell intoxicating like this place does when you walk in! you only get that smell from fresh! The next best thing is they serve you the cookie's warm! I've never been to any cookie place where they serve them warm unless you just happen to walk in after they put them in the display case, like Mrs. Fields. My only reason not giving the 5 stars is because the size of the regular cookies for a dozen is astronomical! This is a college town, and people can't afford stuff like that, so I've only gone twice in one week as a fluke. Unfortunately, probably won't be there for many months because their cookies are too small for the price, so have to get a dozen, but you don't get much for the money. Each of those cookies should be about 75 cents not $2.50! The deluxe size should just be their normal size, and they charge a whopping $4.50 each! Shocking price for what is a standard sized cookies at literally any cookie shop we've ever been to, and twice the price at Insomnia. Nevertheless, we are very glad they are here, hope they have a better selection soon, and hope they lower their prices or make the deluxe size the standard size, down the road, and charge $2.50 for those. Still would be too expensive, but much more logical. Only go here at night, since parking and driving in downtown Chico is misery. It's like a tiny cramped Market street in San Francisco here! Hopefully they'll open a location in a less horrible to drive part of a chico, which is literally anywhere else in chico!

    Pretty simple review the cookies were pretty good very tasty and very big. I gave four stars…read morebecause the staff member did not seem very kind and he seemed honestly a little annoyed that we were there. There's really not much else to say about it.

    I came here to use my birthday reward for a free cookie and saw that they had a new promotion for…read moretheir dirty sodas with a free voucher in the app which was a pleasant surprise. This location had a sign on the door that stated they were in the middle of remodeling but still open for business. They had the new large kiosk screens in the back waiting to be activated but will definitely be nice for busy days and being able to see the menu and order on a larger screen. The inside of the store seemed a little messy because there were lots of ingredients out on the counters of frosting and only one girl behind the counter boxing up orders. I hope she wasn't there alone but there were quite a few people trying to get cookies and the free dirty soda so for one person it was busy. Overall my cookie tasted great in the new peach ring flavor and I got the Coke Zero dirty soda but the girl said the Coke Zero was not working and I had to do Diet Coke instead. Still tasted good but wish I could have gotten the correct soda to get the full flavor effect of that dirty soda. Would recommend stopping by Crumbl in general but maybe wait until this location is done remodeling and they hire a few more people.

    Visited October 23rd..see my receipt…read more Note: YElP not allowing me to download all my pics and videos After having an awesome lunch a few doors down at the Poor House in Chico we came across this place which is in the same shopping complex. It is very clean inside and they were baking as we came in. They don't have alot of choices but what they have looked really good! They are priced alittle too high for the area ( 3 very small cookies for 10 bucks). I got a cookie with banana flavor topped with brown sugar for 5 bucks. The cookie was pretty good but I am not big on sweets and so for the price of one cookie ...well it's not for me. Nice packaging in a pink box. I hope they do well in this challenging economy as they are providing quality cookies! I think they would be a great gift when visiting someone! Ps. Employees need to be nicer!
