Really nice venue for an evening out. The happy hour menu has enough to get you by for a snack, but not really dinner. I don't think it was supposed to. The sushi is well crafted but a little light on size (rolls). One thing I definitely missed was a good ginger dressing for the salad. All in all a great date night experience. Now, if Westfield could figure out parking it would be even better. read more

They must have has an off night tonight. This is my second time at Chiba, but I don't think I will ever come back. My food was disgusting. The fish smelled so bad I couldn't eat it. I asked to talk to the manager and he said he was too busy to speak with me. The first time I was there, I would give it 4 stars, but tonight I would give it 0 stars. read more

Great food! Owner was our waiter and amazing! We will be back! Pumpkin tempura dessert (seasonal) was fabulous! Highly recommended!

Our new favorite spot for flavorful, infused, Cajun Japanese! Hannah was so insightful and knowledgeable of the full menu. Our dining experience was phenomenal and we will come back again, and again, and did I mention again?! read more

Chiba - Sushi Bars Near Me - Westfield, Indiana

Chiba is amazing! Wonderful service and food! The owner is great! Highly recommend!!!

Excellent sushi!!!! Freshest fish I have found in the area. My wife and I prefer raw fish and these guys delivered. Service was amazing as well. Keith, the owner/head chef/bartender/all around amazing guy, came around to every table and introduced himself and made sure everyone was happy. Our waitress, Kate, knew the entire menu, which was extensive, and helped me navigate the menu even with food allergies. This is a big deal as I have odd food allergies. They were very accommodating. The atmosphere was good, but would definitely be better in the summer as you can sit outside and enjoy live music. We'll absolutely be back! This place is a rare hidden gem (with the best sushi) in central Indiana. read more

Love it. Food and service always great. Can't really go wrong. Creative sushi options. Love the crawfish fried rice

This place is simply amazing, from the outstanding owners and personal touch all the way through to the ambiance! The food is second to none, simply the best sushi in Indy by FAR! The staff are FANTASTIC, friendly and make you feel at home! I honestly can't say enough great things about Chiba and their family, try it and you will know exactly what I mean. read more

OK, I don't do many reviews, but Chiba deserves one. Ordered delivery, directly from the restaurant, that was efficient and arrived 10 minutes early. The sushi was excellent. By far the best I ever had in Indiana. In fact, Chiba's sushi rivals the sushi from what is probably the most successful sushi restaurant in North America...the original Mikuni's in Fair Oaks, CA. The order was packed well and arrived perfectly...soup & edamame (hot) on top and our black widow roll and sushi dinner (cold) on the bottom. The raw fish was obviously extremely fresh, and sushi fish slices were thick and delicious. Mikuni you have found your match...in Westfield, IN! From the telephone ordering process to finishing the last morsel of sushi, I've never had a better food delivery experience. Thank you Chiba! read more

Simply the best sushi place in the Indianapolis area. Very unique setup and tons of outside seating. Definitely recommend to anyone.

I've eaten sushi all over the US and this was, truly, one of the best and freshest sushi we have ever had. And it's in Indiana!!!! Must try it! And be sure to check out the outside bar. We may just move in! read more

My boyfriend and I went here last night and got excellent service. Robby was our waiter and he did an AMAZING job!!! Made our experience there memorable and we will be coming back as soon as we can! read more

Everything from the atmosphere with outdoor fires and heaters, strings of lights, and a heated porch area to the unique food, made our experience at Chiba incredible. Hannah was so passionate about her job and loved sharing her impressive knowledge about each dish and the history behind the restaurant. She exceeded our expectations when we allowed her to surprise us with her favorite rolls for our party to share. We loved our night at Chiba. Everyone loved their dishes, but I only have a picture of my roll and I know everyone at the table loved it. The Eskimo Popper was spicy but comforting and we loved the combination of flavors. You have to come here. It's food like you would find in the cultural arts district right here in the heart of Westfield. read more

We ordered the NY steak and the Mahi Mahi. The steak was cold and chewy, practically unedible. The Mahi Mahi was very dry and did not seem to be fresh. We had to send back both orders. Not sure whether we ordered the wrong stuff or caught the chef on the wrog day but this was well below our expectations. read more

Top notch sushi. Crawfish fried rice is always amazing. Short rib tempura is the best! Eskimo popper and diamondhead are my fave sushi rolls! read more

Best sushi in town. Fresh fish daily is what I was told by server. Small little place. Very unique. Love the atmosphere, perfect outside patio for when it's appropriate weather. read more

I went to Chiba for the first time yesterday and while the food was great, the service was 4/10 at best. Our server switched up our sushi and my date had a severe shellfish allergy. Thankfully we caught the mistake before he ate any. Secondly, I ordered a bottle of Pinot Grigio and the server brought the bottle and started pouring when I noticed it was a red wine. I asked him about the wine and he tried to tell me it was Pinot Grigio. When he looked at the bottle he realized he poured Pinot Noir and we ended up having to pay $60 for a bottle of wine that we did not order. Our server did not offer to fix the problem or even take any discount off of our bill. We ended up paying about 25 bucks more for a bottle of wine that we did not order, nor even wanted in the first place. read more

We've been here a few times now. Each time has been fantastic. I'm so glad this place exists in Westfield. Sushi is fresh and delicious. Recommend the special rolls which change regularly. The owner, Keith, has many years experience in sushi and it shows with the creativity of flavors in the rolls (the original Chiba is in New Orleans where he is from). The restaurant is in a restored older home in charming downtown Westfield. The white interior is clean and modern providing a modern and fresh, but with a rustic charm, atmosphere. The patio is shaded and feels like a comfortable backyard setting with a more sophisticated sushi dining experience. Perfect combination for this area. We will keep coming back. read more

Hands down my favorite sushi spot. Everything is fresh & delicious. The staff is knowledgeable & very friendly. We had the tuna ceviche which was very fresh & could've been enjoyed as a meal. We also had the park street & aloha rolls which were amazing. I can't wait to go back. read more

Went for dinner Friday. Amazing sushi! We got the simple salad which had a very light flavorful peanut ginger dressing. Ordered three rolls: spicy crunchy tuna, sharp tempura and the amazing Honolulu roll. It was sooooo good. The waitress was very helpful. When she brought the check she brought us a free dessert, deep fired bread pudding. I thought the food was amazing but the dessert was even better. I don't think they do that every time but I would go back just for the dessert it was that good. The restaurant is in a house, it's cozy and chic. It is a great place for a date. I want to go back during the summer because it has a really nice patio. Overall great hidden gem in Westfield. read more

Amazingly fresh and creative sushi. Owners are there to greet you and make sure you have a great visit. Lovely outdoor seating and live music. Great cocktails and desserts. read more

See all

HANDS DOWN the most fresh sushi I've had! It was my first time eating here last week and I knew I would be impressed when the server told me they get fish from Hawaii twice a week. My favorite was the white tuna sushi, smooth as butter! I'm also a big fan of the fact they did away with plastic straws and replaced them with paper straws. I wish more and more restaurants would follow this example. Mad respect! Chiba is my new favorite sushi place! read more

Chiba is our favorite place to dine! The SUSHI is amazing and I'm also giving the service 5 stars! The atmosphere is so very unique. If you want quiet white linen dining you can dine in the main dining room and watch the sushi chef create not just the best sushi since I left Shichirigahama Beach but the presentation is just beautiful! There is a new larger amount of outdoor dining along with a partial enclosed area where bands play on some weekend nights or special Funday Sundays! There is also a small very quiet bar area that has one side of tables that the windows open out so you can hear the band on a more private level or just enjoy the weather. There are also a few other tables in a sun room like area off of the bar. Keith and Nicole the owners are on a more personal level than most small restaurants. It's truly a very unique setting but the sushi and don't forget to try the lemongrass soup! All of the food is simply amazing. We love to go and just relax and try new things each time We come. We are never left without being greeted by Keith and Nicole both themselves. Kacy is Keith's manager that's keeps things running perfectly even when Keith is not on site if he is vacationing with family or is just not on site while also catering private events. The catering we have experienced has been 100% perfect just as if you were dining in. They have several selections of sake to choose from which is not the norm for other Japanese restaurants. They have a very good happy hour menu that gives you a chance to try different dishes half off I believe. I can't say enough about Keith, Nicole and their staff! I believe the bartender Kate is also very personable and very professional to help make your experience just perfect. With the many different dining areas it offers they make it family friendly and very unique to still make any couples date night feel special right alongside any single out of town diner or someone who is a local! Where have you been all our lives Chiba!! read more

Best sushi. Very creative menu and creations. Octopus cerviche is outstanding. Definitely worth finding read more

Chiba - Great outdoor dining - Sushi Bars Near Me - Westfield, Indiana

The vibe was great. The sushi was mediocre. The service was absolutely awful. The experience was two and a half hours from start to finish, and we had to get up and find our waitress three times over the course of the evening. I don't mind an extended dinner over cocktails, but she never asked us if we wanted another cocktail. We drove 30 minutes with friends to try this spot. Next time...we will try the Italian spot across the street. read more

We came in on a whim. It was a Thursday night and we were looking for a new sushi place to try out. Saw the name Chiba and just said "Boom! Let"s do it!'. Wow! Started with lychee martinis and appetizers. Buns stuffed with shortribs and roasted duck...eclectic and delicious. Gyoza, although definitely different than traditional, hit the spot too! Their version of spring rolls were savory, crispy and succulent! Dinner was nigiri and maki for both of us. We tried six different rolls and a couple of nigiri. All of us was delectable with the scallop nigiri smacking the home run out of the park! Definitely will be back! read more

Love everything about this place! The owners are great and they always come to our table for a little chat. The atmosphere is calming even when the live bands are there. Food is awesome as well as the drinks! read more

I made a reservation tonight to eat here. I got to the restaurant on time and the hostess informed me that I would have to wait 30 minutes for my reservation. She had relayed to me that they had a lot of walk ins and didn't hold my table. I am not sure why a restaurant would take reservations if they will not honor them. The food is never worth the price but there isn't much options for sushi in westfield. read more

We first tried Chiba when it opened and it was delicious! Since then, service and quality have gone down hill. Our waitress never brought water or a new napkin after finding a hair rolled inside of it. I had to find someone else to get me a napkin and water after several requests. I'd like to add there were only 2 other tables at the time and we were her only table. My husband also got sick and we assume it was from here. read more

Best sushi around! We love everything about this place. The atmosphere, food, drinks, and not to mention the owners! Had lunch here and Keith was our bartender/waiter. He was full of great recommendations, including pregnancy friendly sushi, and amazing friendly service. Love going somewhere where you feel appreciated and welcomed, and Chiba definitely does that! read more

Love this place! Not our first visit, but met the owners Nicole and Keith this time who could not have been nicer. Food delicious, atmosphere even on a 90 degree day was perfect outside in shade. Although we didn't today, love the ability to ride bikes there from Midland Trace or Monon. Thanks for bringing great food to Indy area! read more

We've done sushi all over the country and this was some of, if not the best we've ever had. The atmosphere and wait staff are amazing too. It's a unique and unassuming spot with fantastic outdoor dining. We'll definitely be back. read more

Amazing! Everyone was very personal from the waiter, to the bartender, to the owner! Each person made an effort to come greet us and check in on our service! The sushi is VERY fresh. The nights with live music are a MUST! Good vibes all around! read more

Incredible restaurant and overall experience!! You will NOT feel like you are in Westfield, IN. The sushi is well thought out and the presentation is flawless. Fish is extremely FRESH and absolutely delicious! The appetizer of fresh sashimi with truffle oil and sea salt is simple, yet nothing short of amazing! The owner is onsite, hands on and very inviting. You will feel like you are sitting in a modern Broad Ripple setting, combined with an upscale Tokyo Bistro. I have been once a week for the last 3 weeks and I plan on continuing to frequent this fine restaurant!! So glad there is a quality independent sushi restaurant so close. However, if you live far away, it is absolutely worth the drive! Thanks Chiba! read more

Had a couple of specialty drinks at back bar with some unbelievable sushi / Sashimi and don't forget to try the steamed buns (shrimp and short ribs recommended ) Hanna the visiting bar tender from New Orleans is the bomb and a lot of fun. Ask about the Hawaii Sashimi - close your eyes and your not in Indy as the menu rocks and fresh seafood is awesome!! This review is coming from a New England native that is a seafood snob !!! Best Sushi in the Indy area bar none!! The specialty cocktails Kappa Crush and Chiba Pain Killer did the trick on hump day. Finally not a chain cookie cutter establishments- thank you owner and staff - Congrats!!! read more

This is one of the best sushi restaurants I've ever been to. The lunch specials are to die for! And it's not overly priced like a lot of sushi restaurants. I love coming here for lunch. read more

Owners, Keith & Nicole, are great, great people and that is reflected in the way they run their business. The last time we placed an order for pickup their was some miscommunication over the phone about pricing. I emailed them about it and expressed my frustration, and Keith responded in a matter of hours and offered to send me a $100 gift card to make things right (this was more than I had paid for my order). Given the times we are in now and the hardships EVERY restaurant is facing, this was completely unexpected and is very reflective of their character and how they do business. Aside from that, their food is phenomenal & the atmosphere is just as great. Sushi is always fresh. They have live music in the summer. We will always choose Chiba for sushi, or a place just to go grab drinks, listen to music, and enjoy the fun and welcoming environment. read more
