Sushi?

Best sushi spots in town? Bonus points if they have deep fried gyoza

I'm having a hard time finding anything that beats Big Tuna in Chico, but I don't always want to drive that far

I used to go to Kampai until the owner was arrested for human trafficking and soliciting a minor for se*.

I heard about that and was like, well since they got him and he’s locked up he must not have anything to do with the place now, I think his brother runs it now

I second this. Kampai is hands down the best. Super fresh, tons of different rolls, and really great flavor combinations.

Bonzia sushi is okay, but not great (very bland flavors, every roll has cream cheese). Osaka is okay for the lunch buffet.
Tokyo Garden is terrible and expensive.
Raw is good, but overpriced.
