Chikara

We’ve always had really great service and great food here. Our favorite sushi place in the area for sure!

My husband and I went here last night, we noticed our sushi was warm… Than this morning I woke up throwing up and achy went to Doctor to find out I had food poisoning… We never had this problem before with Chikara!

Love it here. Only sushi place my husband and I go to. The blonde waitress is the most wonderful! She’s always in such a great mood!!!

Boss made me try sushi for the first time… Actually fell in love with it. Nice place! Good service!

Sushi at BELAIR Raleys in Yuba has better sushi then this place. The price is a lot better there to.

Love the sushi here! Great food and descent prices. The two rolls for $ 14.99 lunch special is my favorite and on Wednesdays it’s all day and night.

The waitress was very nice and recommended some very good sushi! I always get chicken teryaki! And they have really good chocolate moochi :)

I love chikara! Their kitchen food is my most favorite! I always order the calamari or the tuna katsu app.

Came here on a business trip and was pleasantly surprised. Who would think that sushi this good could be found in Yuba City? Very happy with the meal and the friendliness of the staff. 4 star quality with a 5^th star for the restaurant’s location in a bare-​bones town.

Very disappointed. Got talked into ordering a boat of sushi and Paul said to tell him what we like and not to order from the menu. He said the menu is all basic and he will hook us up. Ended up with bunch of tempura that we did not order. And each roll was all rice and no fish. Paid a lot for rice! Got some rude comments too. Will not be returning!

Great food!
I went in for lunch with my family and our food was great. Our server was a nice girl named Shannon, she was very attentive and gave good suggestions on food. We will be back!

Hey guys Chikara is open all day Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and I’m saying you must come on in and in joy a great time of a variety of foods…

The food and people where outstanding i have had a lot of sushi all over and i had some off the chart rolls here

Today I was treated to the best nigiri and sashimi I’ve ever eaten! Each different type of seafood served was super fresh, perfectly prepared, and melted in your mouth. The rice in the nigiri was just the right temperature, tender (not mushy), and subtlely seasoned with just the right amount of vinegar. The small bit of wasabi placed under the fish balanced all the delicate flavors.
I sat at the sushi bar and met the new chef. As I sat eating my lunch, I witnessed the beautiful works of art he served to other customers. We were all in awe and agreed it was the best Japanese cuisine we have ever had. I highly recommend you go to Chikara and trust the chef to make something that will surely delight your palate! I can hardly wait to go again.

Seriously?! How much sexier can this sushi get? We ordered a round of sake bombs and the sushi chef came out of the kitchen and taught us how to properly take a sake bomb shot followed by a chanting and pounding the table which allows the shot to fall in the Japanese beer. Seriously if you’re looking for delicious food to follow a good time this is the place to go. The owner Ken, the friendly waitresses, and sushi chefs are what makes the experience unforgettable! You will not be disappointed coming here.

Good sushi. Pretty expensive tho but they stay open half an hour later than every other place in town

Delicious sushi for a good price. The staff were nice and the atmosphere was almost like a sports bar and Japanese restaurant infusion.
The food was good and the waiters seemed to know enough to make you feel comfortable taking reccomendations. Will come back.

Two sushi rolls for 14.99, how can you beat that!?! Everything we had was very good. We had four rolls, a spicy beef plate, chicken fried rice and a soup, any of these were a good choice. It’s a little pricy besides the sushi but worth it! Quick and pleasant service.

We come here pretty regularly at this point, and I wish I could give them a 4.5 rating. I might edit this to give them 5, because in this area they certainly deserve it (edit, changed it to 5! I think they deserve it!).
This isn’t the best sushi I’ve ever had, but its pretty damn good. They, like most sushi joints nowadays, offer lots of ‘fusion’ or modern, or Americanized, or whatever you want to call it, sushi rolls. There are many different options, and many of them are very good. My only issue is sometimes the rice isn’t sticky enough and the rolls aren’t rolled tight enough, and there’s nothing worse than lifting a roll up to your mouth only to have it fall apart. But this is common with modern sushi rolls, what with all the fried foods and cream cheese and whatever else is added in there (all of which I absolutely love).
The service is great, every-​time we’ve been there so far. At this point, this is probably my now most recommended place for the area for service alone, so far we have yet to be let down.
Also, my dad hates raw fish, but they offer bento boxes (they don’t call them that though), and their terriyaki chicken is quite delicious, so my dad of all persons actually loves coming here.
There’s not much I could say negative about this place, other than sushi never really fills me up so I could just eat it for days. And we have tried other places in the area, and there was always something off-​putting about them, from less than stellar food to terrible service (the most common issue).
So, congrats Chikara, you’ve moved to the top of my recommendations list, and keep it up! We’ll continue to stop in regularly and bring you business so long as you keep on doing what you’re doing!

This place is one of the better Japanese restaurants I’ve been to in Yuba City. There aren’t many to choose. Service and food were daijobu (okay). However, this place will suffice if I’m ever craving for Japanese food.
I ordered the Spicy Snow [$ 12.95] and Ninja Roll [$ 9.50], but it’s a better if you order these from the Chikara Special Roll menu because you get any two rolls from the menu for $ 13.99. Both sushi rolls were good. I do not like that they plated my order together, but it’s probably because I ordered from the special roll menu. I also ordered Tonkatsu to go for my mother, and she did not like it, especially the aroma of the dish.
