elcome to the wineries and vineyards of Humboldt County—a community of artisan wineries and vineyards whose passion and enthusiasm for wine is matched by the quality of their products. Humboldt is a county of diverse growing and wine making areas, from the vineyards and wineries scattered amongst the redwoods of Southern Humboldt to those winding river and forest canyons of the East county, and the wineries in the Northern County that feel the cool breezes of the Pacific Ocean. These diverse regions produce a variety of grapes ideally matched to the micro-climates and soils of these areas. Most of the vintners are happy to welcome guests and are only open by appointment.

All You Can Eat Buffet, Featuring Fresh Sushi Oriental Buffet has been a dining sensation since hitting the North Coast in 2005. The dishes are prepared fresh and are visually stunning—from the fresh sushi bar, where you can watch the sushi chef prepare your favorites, to the Mongolian-style grill where you choose your ingredients and sauces before they are cooked in front of your eyes.

What makes Oriental Buffet different is the sheer selection and quality of food we provide: items like crab legs, mussels, oysters and many varieties of shrimp.

For the kids, we feature a dessert bar, which includes soft-serve ice cream, cakes, pastries and a wide variety of sweets to complement our main courses. There is also a fresh fruit bar where you can load up on a wide assortment of seasonal fruits. The Fortuna location serves beer and wine.

The newer facilities cater to families, groups or private parties. Perhaps the best thing about Oriental Buffet is affordable pricing. The Lunch Buffet is only $7.25, and the Sunday and Dinner Buffet is only $10.95 (plus tax), with a special Senior Discount, a discount for children 3 to 10 years, and children under 3 are free. Oriental Buffet is located just north of Arcata off Highway 101 in the Valley West Shopping Center in Arcata, and at 751 S. Fortuna Blvd., in the Redwood Village Shopping Center in Fortuna.

A Taste of Hawaii — E Komo Mai! The Banana Hut truly represents owners Ken and Fatima’s vision of a tropical paradise, a “bit of Hawaii,” here on the mainland. The Banana Hut began in a small trailer, became Humboldt County’s first Hawaiian plate lunch restaurant from the kitchens at Redwood Acres Fairgrounds, and has finally found home on 5th St. in Eureka. Fatima made the sun and painted the sky that adorn the ceiling. Her wax flowers can be seen on the walls, and art that Ken and Fatima collected over the years adorns the walls as well. Ken learned how to attach booths to floors, and put the thatch up, decorating it with robotic butterflies. The Punkah fans on the ceiling were inspired by the Long Bar at the Raffles Hotel in Singapore. A salt water fish tank is set up on the wall. The restaurant continues to “morph.”

New lunch and dinner menu items are being tested continuously, like Kalua Pig Fries. This is a meal in itself: regular french fries topped with Kalua pig, homemade brown gravy, two kinds of melted cheese, and sprinkled with green onions for a vegetable. This appetizer is so good it should be a new food group. Other dinner items include Babyback ribs with pineapple glaze, Lomi Lomi salmon, Ahi poke, pork chops, Huli Huli chicken, Chicken Adobo, caramelized tofu, and peel and eat garlic shrimp inspired by the North Shore shrimp trucks of Oahu.

The Chalet in Eureka was purchased by Vera Johnson March 1, 1975. The building was originally an ice cream parlor and only seated eight people. By 1981 the restaurant had expanded to nearly double its size and became known for its hamburgers and soft serve ice cream. Over the years, with more remodeling and hard work it has turned into the business that it is today.

The Chalet is a favorite of locals and visitors alike. They are known for having some of the finest omelettes in Humboldt County. Using only the freshest ingredients available, the restaurant has won the Times Standard’s restaurant awards for “Best Breakfast” and “Best of the North Coast” many times over. They offer great food, excellent service, a warm friendly atmosphere, and serve a complete breakfast and lunch menu all day.

Except for a minor repair job due to fire damage, The Chalet in Eureka has been open 365 days a year for the past 36 years. And while Vera is not part of the daily operation of the restaurant anymore, the business is still part of the family. Her son Bill, a retired warrant officer from the U.S. Marine Corps now manages the restaurant, making sure the same dedication and service that have made The Chalet a local favorite since 1975 still continues today.

DINNERS

Welcome to Chapala Restaurant, bastion of authentic Mexican cuisine.

Located on the corner of 2nd and C Streets in historic Old Town Eureka, Chapala is open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Catering, banquet facilities, and delivery within a one-block radius are offered.

The spacious dining room can accommodate a large group and still be cozy enough for a casual meal for two. A festive, folk-style mural of a Mexican village decorates the entire east wall.

Unlike some restaurants, at Chapala, if you do not receive your food, they will not charge you. Customers that request wine margaritas will be quietly asked to leave, and warnings that the Burritos Ranchero is “quite large” should be heeded.

Patrons will enjoy Chapala’s fresh salsa, homemade chips and perennial favorites such as Sopes, Enchiladas, Tacos, Burritos and Carnitas. The Chiles Rellenos are a delight not to be missed. Generous portions of piping-hot entrées can be enjoyed with a variety of Mexican beers or the area’s finest tequila margaritas. Be sure to save room for dessert... delicious homemade flan!

We were voted Best Mexican Restaurant in 2008 and 2009 by readers of the Times-Standard; come in and dig into locals’ favorite Mexican plate!

A Fresh Taste of South East Asia Owners Gina and John Sydathong opened MeKong Café December 26, 2008.

Gina was born and raised here in Humboldt County and met John in 1995. John is a refugee from Thailand who came to California with his parents and four brothers in 1979. Prior to meeting John, Gina had never eaten South East Asian food. Her new found love of his family’s recipes, combined with Gina’s love of cooking, was the foundation for MeKong Café.

Gina and John’s customers rave over the variety and quantity of fresh, seasonal vegetables in favorites like stir fry and curry dishes. MeKong Café uses authentic ingredients in every dish, such as: Galanga, Kieffer Lime Leaf, Lemongrass and toasted Kawot Kua. MeKong Café offers beer, wine and Ku cocktails.

O SUSHI • SALAD • STIX

SUSHI

Vicky Armstrong’s vision for fabulous, fresh, fast, fun food prepared in the beauty and style of Japanese cuisine is the foundation upon which Obento has been built.

Using sushi as a base, Obento has created a tantalizing selection of rolls with unique ingredients including smoked albacore, tofu cutlet, chicken, and habanerocarrot tofu spread! The Obento Bowl, which combines sushi rice with our exceptional cabbage slaw, is a healthy salad AND a hearty meal; it’s amazing!

With our move comes a great menu addition: stix. Inspired by the traditional Japanese dish – yakitori - Obento is using an old family recipe and introducing salmon, tofu, and yam in addition to chicken. These stix are served with steamed rice, cabbage slaw, and a choice of our specialty dressings.

So, come to Henderson Center (behind JoAnn Fabrics) and let our friendly, skillful staff prepare one of our specialties – or one of your own creations – for your dining pleasure!

JOIN THE WINE CLUB

Riverbend Cellars’ tasting room is located in the heart of the Humboldt Redwoods State Park along the Avenue of the Giants, at the Myers Flat exit on Hwy 101.

Riverbend Cellars features artisan wines, hand-crafted from estate grown grapes, expressing true varietal character. Controlled fermentation assures integrity, while extensive barrel aging adds complexity.

Our FIELD-blended white is, admittedly, crafted by Nature. But the proprietary red blends are designed by the winemaker to fit various traditional taste profiles.

Every wine on the premises has been personally cared for by Thomas Meagher and he would be happy to regale you with tales of their infancy should you happen to visit the winery on your next trip to the magnificent Redwoods.

Enjoy browsing the gift shop and art gallery, then stay to dine at the exquisite Groves Restaurant next door. Dinner is served 5 to 9 p.m. Thursday through Monday.

Receive two bottles of wine four times per year, discounts at the Riverbend Tasting Room, and invitations to special winery events.
