i've heard from many people that Chibas is good. Today , i was finally able to find parking so i decided to order lunch to go. i ordered their combination lunches # C sashimi & beef teriyaki ., #D tempura & chiken teriyaki. The lady said my order was ready the container similar to a pizza box , i was wondering...hmmmm is my miso soup in there? i asked her and she said "" oh, you want it ? its a lunch combination set , it says its served with rice, salad , and miso soup. if i didnt want it i would have said so but she assumed i didnt want it from the get go.... ( i am japanese ) ......@ that point i was dissapointed.\r
\r
so .... i took it home and had a few of my friends and we tried it. \r
\r
1. they put the sashimi ( raw fish ) in the same box which had beef teriyaki and rice ( assuming it s hot off the grill ) sashimi ( RAW FISH ) you have to becareful for it spoils fast . a japanese rest. near by in sun valley puts all sushi, sashimi, rolls in a seperate container . \r
\r
2. miso soup.... not even half a cup filled. \r
\r
3. salad is just ok......... A good salad whether its just iceburg lettuce the DRESSING is the key!\r
\r
4. japanese style pickles were good.\r
\r
5.tempura....... sorry to say it wasnt all that. ...........a good tempura is.... IF THE TEMPURA STAYS CRISPY ONCE IT GETS COLD. and of course appearance is important.\r
\r
6. the teriyaki..... the portion of chicken was very POOR , the beef was ok... the SAUCE .....\r
I""m sorry it was runny and it just wasnt good.\r
\r
as for sushi ............i have not tried so no comment.\r
\r
overall.............lunch combinations averaging $9+ tax I WILL NOT recommend .\r
i've had BETTER chicken teriyaki & tempura @ a near by sushi rest.\r
and their lunch specials and also around $9 .\r
\r
i will not mention their name but the sushi rest near a famous cleaners in SV is much better!\r
Pros: just that its Japanese owned
Cons: parking + more
