Top 15 Affordable Restaurants in Chico, CA

John Horning Im once again "Happy" that Happy Gardens is once again available for in dining eating. I arrived on a Friday night, immediately seated, and knew exactly what I wanted. I ordered the Mongolian Beef, Lemon Chicken, Special Chow Mein, and the Sweet/Sour Prawns. No more than 10 minutes later my food arrived... and tasted like Heaven! The portions are STILL plentiful and extremely tasty, with the right amount of spices, sauces and meat/vegetables in each dish, leaving me thoroughly filled with extra for the next days lunch. Not much more can be said about how great this restaurant is. The service is crisp and attentive, prices are normal for an establishment like this, and not too crowded on Tues-Thu. Lunch specials can be found, and dinner specials for 2-3 people make this an absolute necessity for a date night. A piece of heaven I will continue to patronage for years to come.

Elise Townley My husband picked this place because he saw good coffee and great Eggs Benedict on the review mentions (I’m a sucker for good eggs benny) and these were hands down the BEST eggs Benedict I’ve ever had! I upgraded to the pork belly option and it was phenomenal. Hubby got the breakfast burrito, our kiddo got the kids pancake meal. One of the best finds we’ve made!

Samuel ONeil Amazing place if you love garlic and seafood. Be aware that even their most mild Cajun seasoning still has some heat, as it should. Worth every penny for a fun, delicious meal. House style hot is my favorite shrimp.

Damon Tighe Great place to catch a late night meal. Dishes are well above basic pub fair and service is fantastic. Indoor and outdoor seating. One indoor zone is more sports bar like with screens while there are quieter corners of the place as well.

Craig Bourne We’ve been to Unwined before and always liked it, but we went recently and had such a great experience that I had to leave a review. Specifically, we had a Caesar salad that we were so excited about! It was a real, classic, anchovy-y salad that was as good as I’ve had in forever. Everything we had was very good, but that salad was something special. It was a great example of the attention to detail of the place, which included very attentive service. When I have a meal like that, I feel it is my duty to spread the word.

Troy H The service was good and our server was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. The entrees are all pretty solid, and Ill tell ya, they have the very best pretzels in the area. When the weather permits, its fun to hang out at their outside area as well.

D N Delicious carnitas! We ordered a pound and brought it home. Super yummy. But be careful....the salsa is delicious, but fire!

Allison Beane Food was delicious with the exception of the garlic tomato soup. I feel like it needs more of a tomato base to it. Its very garlic forward. Otherwise, everything was so, so yummy! Our server has worked there 16 years. And she was amazing. You can tell she can run circles around the others.

Dawn K The food and staff are fantastic! We had the Carnitas Omelette and the Santa Fe Omelette also a side of sausage gravy to go with the biscuit = DELICIOUS!! The Pineapple Mango mimosa was amazing. Samantha is a friendly and wonderful server, too! Highly recommend this place for a yummy brunch.

Berenice Arguello It’s a welcoming restaurant. Cozy on a rainy day, and also bright/lively. We ordered tea. Perfect. I appreciate that it came with sugar on the side. Amazing start to the meal. The appetizers (samosas) were flaky. So light and freshly made. 15-20 min later our entrees came at the same time. Warm, but not piping hot. Perfectly timed. The owner, Sofi, is attentive and sweet

Andrea Raygoza Went here last night for date night with my hubby. No inside seating when we arrived so we hung out in the patio until a table opened up inside (30 min give or take). Luckily they have outdoor heaters. Food was amazing we got the cubano sandwich & hamburger. Their fries were the best!!! I can’t wait to go back this place is a gem :)

Lindsay Hidalgo Our hostess Thinzar was awesome!! She recommended a few of their specialty rolls and they did not disappoint!! This place is very nice and we had a wonderful evening thanks to Ikkyu! We will be back :)

Shari Miller I booked Broadway Heights for my mom’s 90th birthday party. The food was great and the service was fabulous! Johnny was quick to respond and easy to work with for the event. The room was beautiful and I was able to decorate it to my vision. Everyone had a wonderful time. I recommend Broadway heights for any event venue. Everything exceeded my expectations!

Tressa Herring Great food. Its always the best. Great service. I loved the espresso martini

Mary P Visited September 26th...always see my receipt as proof! This place had great reviews in Chico and they were right! Beautiful and sleek inside and out! I love suishi and I ordered the Red dragon because it was spicy! YUM! My boyfriend had the California roll which he enjoyed. BEST was the baby back ribs! YES...their ribs melted right off the bone in a slightly sticky and awesome concoction! Beautiful presentation on all dishes! We also had a glass of wine and a local IPA. They have an extended area that also serves hard alcohol along with beer..wine..sake and specialty drinks. We got there when they opened at 1130am and it was nice and cool inside! They also have outdoor seating that is shaded! It was a Great experience! Thank you Regan and the two awesome suishi chefs...Charlie ( cute petite gal) and Syrjah (i didnt spell his name right..awesome man bun.). Professional and friendly and show pride in what they do! Love the location because its walking distance to shops! I will be back! 5 star service...classy yet unpretentious and relaxing!
