Jamie and Tino were awesome and we had so much fun. Everyone had the hibachi dinners and fried rice and the food was delicious.

I had the chicken as well as the tempura sweet potato sushi roll and will absolutely be returning the next time I'm in town!

I love this place! This is my go to sushi place ever since I found it a year ago. The cuts of their…read moresushi allows for more bang for your buck not to mention how fresh and delicious their fish is! The customer service is also completely unmatched. Anytime I'm there I can tell I'm genuinely welcome in their gorgeous dining area and I'm always happy to order from them for delivery as well. About a year ago a doordash driver took forever to deliver my Ojiya order and the restaurant personally reached out to me to make sure everything was alright- I was so touched! They remade my order and I was able to enjoy it after all. I will always return to Ojiya for all of my special events and I am endlessly thankful for their entire staff. THANK YOU OJIYA!!!

We've gone twice now, both times the place was pretty much empty. A sunday night and a Saturday…read morenight. Was slightly concerning for dinner time to be so slow but it also was nice not dealing with other folks. The second visit was very strange as our food took forever, yes we had one couple ahead of us and one pick up order but it still took over 20 minutes for our first roll and our daughters avocado roll arrived last and an hour after ordering. This was just strange but they only had one sushi chef working. Another issue was our omakase orders, one was just a Tina roll and the other was the surf n turf roll. Which both rolls are totally fine but it wasn't what I thought I'd get when ordering omakases. Also the ginger that say was really flavorless, I've never had such watery bland ginger before. Being in the old Japanese blossom build it has plenty of space, and with the lack of customers the parking lot was a lot easier to deal with compared to when it was JB. No music was playing but it was well lite and didn't have any noticeable smells. If we could remove the odd Saturday night dinner it would rank higher. But that second visit was a huge miss from time to flavor.

I want to like this place so bad! There is so much potential. But I have given it three tries, and…read morethere is something wrong every single time. I can no longer justify the high price point for a dining experience that has not once met it. Let's start with the good: the fried rice cakes are incredible. The ambience feels really nice and upscale. There are some delicious food items here. The service is friendly. Last night was my final straw though. The service was incredibly slow. We ordered a couple appetizers and a couple rolls. The appetizers were on the slower side, but within reason. But then we were there for over an hour (like actually timed, not me being hyperbolic), and we still hadn't gotten our rolls. Now full disclosure, my mom does have a shrimp and crab sensitivity. However, she made it clear to the server that this is not a contact allergy. She specified: She can handle things being fried in the same oil. A simple wipe down of the food prep service suffices. She has to actually ingest the food for it to affect her. Well. It had been over an hour, and they had not even started on her rolls. When I asked someone (who I think may have been the manager?) to check on them, she let us know that they were starting right then and that with an allergy they have to clean off an entire station in order to serve, and so on. Uhm. How does that justify the fact that they clearly didn't even start cleaning a station at all for over an hour after we had ordered?? Do they expect us to wait till all other customers have left?? An allergy doesn't mean we should be completely de-prioritized. I know that she wasn't intending to make excuses and was intending to explain, but an explanation at that point is completely inadequate. To try to explain to someone with an allergy that service is going to be slower because they have to clean off an entire station... Do they think we've never been to restaurants before?? We know how it works and there's just no justification for that. The rolls were also terrible. We substitute tempura asparagus for my mom due to her not being able to eat shrimp. In our experience, this is quite standard with sushi restaurants. They served it with steamed and it was terrible. The rolls were also very thick cut, falling apart, and- I kid you not - not even cut all the way through. We got chu toro, one of our favorite items--they didn't trim the sinewy parts off. I had to send back a drink because it felt like I was drinking perfume. They took these items off thankfully but overall, we still spent over $100 and didn't even get sushi. Ugh. So frustrating and I just can't imagine myself giving them another try.

It's been a long time coming--I'm not sure why it's taken me this long to put this into words…read more We've been coming here for 8 years, and it's more than just a sushi spot to us. This is where my husband and I learned to truly appreciate nigiri--the simplicity, the quality, the intention behind every piece. There's something special about knowing the fish is always sustainable, always fresh, and always treated with so much respect. The nigiri is consistently top tier. Our forever favorites: masu, bincho, hotate, ama ebi --and toro belly or uni when we're lucky enough to catch it. And we can't skip the starters: smoked collars, shiitake tempura, miso soup, and that chipotle lime edamame we crave constantly. Even the vegan rolls are insanely good, and the Godman roll? Truly unforgettable. But what really makes this place ours is the people. The chef and his team have become some of our favorite humans in Chico. Every visit feels warm, familiar, and full of joy--like being welcomed back by family. Walking through those doors always feels like coming home.

The soondubu and bulgogi plates are always delicious and clearly made fresh to order. The ingredients taste high quality, the portions are generous, and the food feels both comforting and healthy. What I really appreciate is the consistency -- every time we come, the quality is just as good as the last visit. We've brought several friends here over the years, and many of them swear by the Korean fried chicken. It's always crispy, flavorful, and a must-order when we come in a group. Beyond the food, the owners make this place special. The couple who run the restaurant are incredibly kind and welcoming. They always greet us with a warm smile and thank us when we leave, which makes the whole experience feel personal and genuine. You can really tell they care about their customers and their food. A true neighborhood gem that we'll keep coming back to.
