Didn't need any sauce. Good amount of chicken, veggies, and rice. For the price it's hard to beat. 3.5 stars $11 fried instant noodles. It's instant noodles with some veggies, and I think sliced hot dogs. It was overall average. Price isn't to bad.

It has a kind of cold atmosphere..not very welcoming where you want to sit down and enjoy your meal. Employees were busy prepping and not ready to engage with the public ( they just opened the doors so I understand). Its more of a take out place which is good for the area.

They are famous for their Poké bowl, but we only did sushi this time (my willpower deserves recognition).. The edamame was excellent and their miso soup is still one of my favorites anywhere. It just tastes different... richer and more intentional than the usual versions. I'm a huge saba fan and theirs was exactly why I keep coming back... clean, fresh and done right. My kid had the tataki and it was the same story there, super fresh and gone in about thirty seconds. We also had the Gilroy (yum) Japanese Cowboy, Red Dragon, Hibachi Sunset and Lotus Cobra. The Lotus Cobra is one of those rolls you order once and then it just becomes part of your future. The ambiance is probably my favorite in Chico. It's one of those places where you can have a great meal and some top tier people watching at the same time. Service is always solid, friendly without being fake, and everything from the dining area to the bathrooms is consistently clean. I'll just say it... I wish we had a place like this back on the Mendocino Coast. Until then, this is always going to be my Chico sushi stop. If you like fresh fish, good energy and a place that just feels dialed in, Rawbar is hard to beat.

A trip back to Chico gave me just a few hours in town, and the one place I absolutely had to visit…read morewas Raw Bar--and I'm so glad I did. I've been craving the oyster hot shots and Shaka tuna for yeeeears. I've even tried recreating those hot shots at home more times than I'd like to admit, and I still can't crack whatever magic they're doing back there. Now onto the new stuff. We ordered the special dry-aged nigiri sampler, and my mom couldn't stop talking about how much it reminded her of the way fish and sushi are treated in Japan. Thoughtful, balanced, and intentional. It was such a refreshing break from the AYCE-style spots where the fish-to-rice ratios can feel quite careless. Almost forgot! Our server was amazing. Gah I forgot his name. So professional and knowledgeable about everrrrrything. We were super comfortable in the new lounge area, which I would say is much cozier and dare I say sexier than the old motif which was kinda industrial. If they ever open a location in Los Angeles (hint, hint), I'd be first in line.

The dishes were delicious but not what was ordered (I used the phone to document the appetizers and entrees selected and compared that to the items brought out: 2 of six were incorrect). The hostess/cashier was gracious and explanatory of the short handed staff situation, and corrected the check satisfactorily. All in all, not a totally unpleasant experience, however, the staffing is, after all, what drives the desirability of a new venue, and this example of a new restaurant's presentation was disappointing. The younger staff members appeared to be doing the best they could under the circumstances. This is the fourth establishment in this building over my year 20 residency in Chico, and I sincerely wish Ji Bei Chuan nothing but the best of luck. A second visit may be ventured in the future to see if service/accuracy has improved. Chalk this experience up to arriving at the wrong time (a rainy Sunday late afternoon) with the wrong situation (staffing shortage)...
