Chiba Restaurant is constantly
crowded with customers. The keys to their ongoing
popularity are threefold: Great sushi, prompt service,
and very reasonable prices. Having three such goals
is easy to say but hard to achieve. Chiba meets
all three. The restaurant is bustling with excitement
and energy. |

Sushi Deluxe $22.00
It is very rare
to get such high quality sushi. Just try some
and see for yourself. Freshness is essential to
sweet shrimp! The texture of their luscious sweet
shrimp is firm yet soft and creamy. You will also
enjoy the delicious flavor of rich and creamy
sea urchin roe. Japanese horse mackerel is also
very refreshing. And do not forget their exceptionally
succulent salmon roe sushi. Chiba has a unique
creation that combines salmon and caviar and is
just gorgeous! The salty caviar and fatty sweet
salmon complement each other and are in perfect
harmony. Last, but not least, the Sushi Deluxe
also features extra thick toro (fatty tuna). |

| Tender toro melts in your mouth
and it tastes just heavenly. Each fish is purchased
from a vendor that specializes in that particular
kind of fish. That is why a high level of quality
is guaranteed. Not only is the seafood that is
used in the Sushi Deluxe great, but their sushi
rice is wonderful as well. The moment you put
a piece of their sushi into your mouth, you notice
the little rice ball nicely unfolds. Their chef
skillfully makes sushi with a perfect balance
between the seafood on top and the rice underneath
for each and every customer. Now, that is amazing
craftsmanship. You will definitely rediscover
the splendor of sushi at Chiba Restaurant. In
order to fully appreciate the chef’s skills and
thoughtfulness, it is a common courtesy to eat
sushi as soon as it is served. |

Lobster Roll ($16.50) and Vegetarian Sushi
It is important to have pride in one’s craftsmanship.
But it is also equally important to listen to
customers’ voices and be bold and innovative
when creating new items. Their lobster roll
is a good example of such an innovative creation.
It is wrapped in thinly sliced cucumber instead
of regular dried seaweed and is very refreshing.
With its crisp cucumber covering, it is almost
like eating a salad. The succulent filling is
fresh lobster and fresh scallop mixed together
with some marinate sauce, which perfectly complements
the cucumber wrapping. Even the most loyal seaweed
lover should try this popular dish. |

Their vegetarian sushi, on the other hand, was
created in the hopes of promoting the popularity
of Japanese vegetables. Shungiku (a Japanese
herb), for instance, has a relatively strong
aroma. But it provides a nice accent for sushi
with its faint bitterness and unique texture.
The sushi with shiitake mushrooms is also highly
recommended. Slightly cooked and warm shiitake
mushrooms create a wonderfully appetizing aroma.
The rich butter flavor, refreshing ponzu sauce
(citrus seasoned vinegar), and tangy momiji-oroshi
(grated Japanese radish with red pepper) all
complement the flavor of the shiitake mushrooms.
Fluffy sushi rice completes this special sushi
creation proudly presented by Chiba. |

Chiba Restaurant
has been in business for 34 years
and two generations of the family.
Japanese tradition and culinary
techniques are continuously refined
at this restaurant. Meticulous
and solicitous service, commitment
to quality food (which even includes
the water used for cooking and
brewing tea), as well as the trans-generational
succession of such wonderful culinary
skills all support the long-lasting
popularity of Chiba.
(Regular water purifiers still
leave some deposits. Chiba only
uses “pure water” that is devoid
of all such impurities.) |
