This is without a doubt, one of my absolute favorite restaurants in Westfield! I have never had a bad meal here and every single time I come I am treated so well and I absolutely love solo dining here. I almost always get sushi, the steamed buns, the seaweed salad, and the miso soup. But truly, any dish on the menu is just so good. There are always some type of special on drinks and food. My absolute favorite part about Chiba is the wonderful service I get particularly from the owner. I dine here a lot so I've gotten to know the owner and sitting in the bar area while he is bartending is probably one of my favorite experiences. Not only does he makes some good drinks, but he is also super personable and carries a great conversation! Since this is one of my favorite restaurants, I am super biased in telling you all to come here and eat. You won't be disappointed ! read more

We had a reservation and were seated promptly. Many thanks for that. ordered drinks and apps which were fantastic and fast. Ordered entrees, that's where it went a little south. Not sure how big the place is, we only saw 3 other tables, all of whom had been served. Somehow it took nearly an hour for our food to arrive. That put a bad spin on dinner. Food was good, lots of choices. Service was great I know the server has nothing to do with the kitchen. Personally I actually prefer a smaller portion on my Nigiri, maybe larger portions are a midwest thing. If you are getting a California roll get two, you'll devour the first one and wonder where it went. I would recommend placing Sushi orders immediately rather than waiting. read more

Chiba is fabulous. My friends and I came for lunch today and were treated like queens by the owner. Some of our favorite things were the sake flight, one of the seasonal, specialty roles, the teriyaki salmon, the tempura shrimp. You have to try the salad! The dressing is so fresh and delicious. It is clean, beautiful, and the service is excellent. Some of the best sushi I have ever had. Don't be stopped if you don't like sushi, they have so many things!!! This is an absolute must if you are in Westfield. Just go. read more

Not sure what happened at our visit on Friday but we took this place off our list. We did not have good service and had to ask for our waters to be refilled. We had to ask another server to get our server to order another round of drinks. It took so long to get them! Food: the tuna nachos are never a bad choice. They were delicious! We also ordered edamame spicy and regular (plain). The spicy were covered overwhelmingly with the sauce. A little too much. We also ordered the pork gyoza and they came out overcooked and a little rubbery. Certainly not what we normally get! I ordered a fish dish and for the price it was a fair dish! It was served with a side of white rice. It's unfortunate because we like coming there as a group but will be looking for other options. read more

Reading in the waiting area breathes "big dog" to passerby's. This ain't IG darling, it's Robert Greene! Looking back on last Friday night, some questions emerge... Is it a place for sandbox toys? Is it a place for 50+ double dates? Is it nice or do people just have money? Chiba's got the accoutrements - patio, stage setup, wine list - but where's the identity? I must set aside my affinity with grunge, see 2013 Memphis Grizzlies culture, and accept a new age. Yet this sushi spot rode the fence like your neighborhood red squirrel. Let these servers dress it up or dress it down, but all black athleisure isn't the option my guy. Find the heartbeat! As for my formal responsibility to speak on food, here goes. Andrew Jackson is worth far more than this Speciality Sushi Roll. For free, it's all the rave. For twenty dollars, let's reassess. Lastly, don't expect fast. Instead of shaking your fist at the sky, bring an eye-watering date and enjoy an exercise of patience together. read more

All I can say is "Yum"! Not a bad dish on the menu! Even the miso soup was delicious. My only complaint is the temperature by the windows in the restaurant. Winter is just bad in older homes which is understandable, but it impedes the experience. We froze! Service was great--nothing more, nothing less. read more

Chiba - A couple of delicious rolls! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Westfield, Indiana

I'm adding yet another review since it has been so long. We were taking our car to Roush Mazda for service and decided a lunch at Chiba would be a great idea. I have had a rainbow roll other places so that's my choice today. RRR ordered shrimp avocado roll and a yellowtail scallion roll. All the sushi was wonderful. I took a few pieces of tuna off the top and ate it separately, SO melt in your mouth tender! Always 5 stars. read more

Chiba - what on earth have you done?!?!? Your prices just skyrocketed. $16.50 for a small bowl of lemongrass soup?!?!? $22.50 for a rock shrimp tempura appetizer?!?!?! And, my personal favorite - $14.50 for a small seaweed & cucumber salad?!?!? I get it that many restaurants are raising prices and simultaneously cutting portion sizes, but you've now ventured into a place where you're simply insulting your customers' intelligence. Not only will I not be coming back, I'll also predict that you'll close your doors in 90 days with these prices. read more

Food was very fresh, and the portions were a lot larger than I was expecting! A very pleasant surprise!! The service was good, everyone was very friendly. The ambience was pretty unique in the set up - you'd have to see it to understand. Only negative right now is the lack of parking due to construction. There is a valet option but I was able to circle a few times and find a spot. Will be back! read more

Consistently fresh, great wine and a beautiful outdoor place to eat. Highly recommend.

Once we walked up the path, we entered magical patio gardens and felt like we were in another state! The server was so patient with our special request to deep fry the gyoza and it was decadent. Perfectly mixed Sex on the Beach cocktails with our coconut shrimp appetizer which came with crunchy rice noodles. Enjoyed an Andretti sushi roll for its fresh shrimp and crab, asparagus and just a touch of jalepeno. So good! read more

I wish I had taken pictures but the food and service were so good here! Had lunch special Salmon Teriyaki and the sauce was so good felt like I could just eat a bowl of rice with the sauce! And speaking of rice it was prepared so well it wasn't dry or overcooked which I think is hard to come across at a lot of Japanese restaurants. The tempura that came with the lunch special was crispy. Also tried the Mexican Grand Prix roll (fitting with F1 Mexico GP being this weekend) and it was so fresh and tasty! Great combination of ingredient flavors that went well together. The interior was cool and plenty of seating for parties of all sizes it seems like a fun place to go for dinner. Will definitely be back in the future to try more of the menu! read more

My partner and I went to Westfield over the weekend and found this place. It was super cute .. definitely cozy and casual vibes all over the place. We got seated in the outdoor eating area and I can see why it would be a cool place to go to for dining out. The service was very friendly - no complaints! We ordered salad, sushi and a chicken dish. I thought their sushi was good - comes a close second to sushi I've had at Blue Sushi located at Ironworks hotel in Keystone area. This was a nice find! Check them out for some e yummy food. read more

We walked up to get a table last night and the hostess looked at us like "what do you want" then proceeded to say in a rude tone "do you have reservations!" We did not, so then she looked right past us at couple that walked in and said "do YOU have reservations?" When they said yes, she walked around us and straight to them and didn't say anything to us after walking away. So, we walked out! This type of treatment made me realize I will never go back there. I hope your experience is much better than ours. read more

- I think they had microphones at the table cause we were talking about how disappointed we were most of dinner and we just so happen to get "dessert on the house" lmao. The dessert was mid. - The prices were so utterly insane. First off the price inflation from June 2023 is CRAZY. Some items were $5 more??? Unreal. - Overheard the waitress asking if the table next to us wanted the "happy hour" size. Shouldn't they be the same size? That's the point of happy hour... - Service was not good. Crispy Chicken (Chiba "BBQ" sauce, peanuts, green onions) - crazy salty Diamondhead 5.6/10 (Baked salmon, cream cheese, jalapeno, snow crab, el sauce) - wasn't a fan but I think friend liked. Park Street 6/10 (Yelowtail, pickled jalapenos, gren onions, crunchy yma, fresh blackberries whti blackberry habanero sauce) - zero blackberry flavor. The pickled jalapeños were not good. read more

We highly recommend Chiba. Excellent patio area with live music, the service and food is always amazing. One of my all time favorite dishes is the Vudu Mahi, it comes with vegetables and rice- all cooked to perfection ( slightly spicy ) my wife loves the Udon noodles in broth with tempura, and our son always gets the crispy chicken. They are also in the DORA district so grab a drink and check out some of the stores and restaurants in the area ! read more

Late review....Hubby & I ate here a few weeks ago and I have to say, I absolutely loved the location of this spot as well as the cozy outdoor patio seating along with the live music, a plus. Our server, Eliana, was nothing less than amazing. I started with a Saketini to drink. It was soooo good. Had another w/extra cucumbers. We shared Panko Oysters, Pan seared mussels w/miso broth, Pork Dumplings Gyoza, Bridgewater Specialty Roll - 10 pcs (Full meal avocado on top), Mardi Gras Specialty roll - 10 pcs (Full meal). This place was definitely a hidden gem. The owner - Keith, was very friendly and a comedian; very nice and friendly owner/staff. Loved everything about this spot. The menu is very extensive, in spite of all of the food we ordered, there is still more left to partake in. We will definitely be back. read more

High recommend this place if you are a sushi and overall Asian foodie. They have what tasted like the freshest sashimi I've had outside of the coastal cities. Wait staff is very young, but that goes to show they support local hires who want to make some money and they are all accommodating. We sat outside next to the stage on the most perfect night in Indy. I would recommend if you're with a party to order the sushi tacos and rolls to share. read more

Dropped in with a party of 7 with kids, late, with no reservation. Was seated very quickly. Very kind and understanding service. Gave us extra time well after close to allow the kids to finish. Can't say enough about the service. Cocktails are fun and original. Food was beyond spectacular. I've lived in LA and spend time in San Francisco regularly. I've had sushi from Maryland to Florida to California to South Dakota, not only was the quality exceptional especially being about as far away from an ocean as possible. But I have never had such creative and original, not to mention delicious sushi. Anywhere. Cherry on top was having a very pleasant conversation with the owner after closing hours. SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS!!!! read more

When we visited this cozy little street in Westfield, the Italian House across the street was much busier than Chiba, but those people don't know what they were missing! Dining at Chiba feels like being invited into the home of a very eclectic, hospitable friend. Yes, the front dining room is small and unfortunately loud if there are small children there, but there's also some wonderful little dining areas outside and in the back bar room. You have options, people. It would be hard to find fresher food of this variety anywhere in town. AND, our server was AJ, The unofficial mayor of westfield. He has just enough of everything good and some amazing reflexes! Come in for the happy hour specials (food and drink) before 6:00 p.m., and you will surely want to stay for dinner. My husband and I are fans of their specialty rolls. In addition to several shared appetizers we had the Louisiana Purchase roll, which had Brie in it, and the spicy crab caviar. The orange things on top of the crab roll are actually fish eggs that I would call roe-- not caviar-- but they pop in your mouth just like caviar, adding verve to the sensation experience. Btw, I would not call this spicy at all so don't be scared off by that description. Coconut chicken came with thin slices of pineapple on the side, which really added to the flavorful combination of this dish. One of the other guests in our group ordered Philly cheese steak egg rolls and raved about them. The soft buns are quite messy, so I would not recommend them if you are dining with someone you're trying to impress. I definitely recommend the Ahi poke bowl; although I don't usually eat raw fish, it was very good - lots of different tastes and beautiful presentation. As with any high art form, custom-made sushi takes some time so be patient and just enjoy the experience. It was not particularly busy on a Tuesday night but our food did take a while so I'm sure it takes even longer on a busy night. read more

Really sad to leave this review. Was very excited to try a new place, and even more excited once we saw how fun the v location looked. Located on a cute, quiet street with a few other restaurants, this is a house made restaurant with a nice homey feel. The patio is incredibly spacious, lots of seating, a bar and a stage for a band. We came on a Friday night around 7 and expected to wait but ended up only waiting about 15 minutes. The hostess asked if we were okay sitting close to the live music since it would be loud, which was fine with us. Our server greeted us right away and was very pleasant the entire evening, letting us know about the two separate kitchens and that this might cause our meals to come out at different times. Edamame came with a TON. We were very impressed. It was on the room temperature side when we got it which was unfortunate, and with the quality it made the seasoning uneven and lacking. The highlight was the spring rolls. They were hot, fresh and tasty. The roll itself had great texture and wasn't flimsy like other places. Warm steak bowl was good, not unlike chipotle. The sushi was not good. Sad to say it because I was so looking forward to it, but I actually gagged on a piece of mine before deciding to go back to the cold edamame. The roll was huge which was fine, but almost to the point of needing to be cut in half. Flavor was okay at best. Went to the bathroom and the toilet didn't flush and was very dirty. Saving grace was the atmosphere and the veggie rolls. read more

Chiba is located in a cute little house on a small street of local businesses in Westfield. This is a neighborhood that you should visit at least once. The street has a plant and ice cream shop, as well as an Italian and pizza restaurant too. Chiba is the sushi-Hawaiian fusion spot on the street and offers up the best outdoor seating. Their website says that they don't do reservations, so when we arrived at 7pm on a Saturday night in summer, we thought we'd have to wait. Instead, the hostess seated us immediately, and we followed her as she winded us through the huge back seating area. There is a backyard stage, bar, and seats for more than 100 outside. We were super surprised, since the place looks small from the front. We got seated under the covered section by the stage. The band playing was SO good, but it was really loud. Our server was a little sassy, but I know hiring is hard right now. We started with the conch appetizer and it was really good. The conch was hard to chew, but that was my first time trying it, so I'm not sure if that's how it's supposed to be. We also got a few Kona beers, which was a fun Hawaiian twist. They have a full Hawaiian cocktail menu and many tropical food options as well to give you a vacation-like feel. I ordered the miso soup and a specialty roll (I'm blanking on the name, but it started with "Jay"). It was a cucumber-wrapped sushi roll, minus the rice. It was covered in a sweet sauce and it was almost impossible to eat. It was SO big and slippery that everytime I tried to get it with my chopsticks, it just slipped right out. I also couldn't eat it with my hands because of how messy it was, so I ended up just not finishing it. The miso soup was really good and I loved the scallions in it. I'd be down to go back, but I'd definitely order something different next time. Definitely visit during the summer! Sit outside, order a tropical cocktail, and enjoy the twinkle lights and live music. read more

Highly recommend! We love to eat on the patio and service is always amazing! Best sushi around! Also love the pork gyoza!

Chiba is by far my favorite place for sushi in the Indy area. The sushi is fresh and tasty, the drinks are fantastic and the outdoor atmosphere is spot on. We typically visit during happy hour and enjoy several rolls off the happy hour menu along with miso soup, salads, and sometimes the crawfish fried rice. The bread pudding dessert is also a winner. The blueberry is my favorite (lots of fresh berries), but they are all yummy. A perfect light dinner? A spicy salmon roll, a California roll, miso soup, blueberry bread pudding, and a Kappa Crush. Yum! read more

The service was truly great. Obviously very experienced waitstaff who anticipate and stay unruffled. Sushi was hit or miss for us on the last three visits we've had. Keep in mind we're big sushi fans... but also realize we live in Indiana, which isn't exactly a sushi Mecca. lol. But it really leans to the expensive side here, which I wouldn't mind if it was outstanding. But it's just good. We love the environment and waitstaff though, so it's somewhere we always end up back at every now and then. It's definitely worth trying yourself. read more
