This post is just a heads-up for other yelpers, it isn't a complaint. Wife and I go to RA about 5-6 times a year, normally for lunch so we can avoid driving at night. We normally order the same thing being creatures of habit. - wife orders the big bento with chicken katsu, and I normally order the sashimi assortment. Today my wife wanted a bigger portion of chicken katsu so she ordered the dinner entree of chicken katsu. We find out that the dinner entree of chicken katsu doesn't come with rice. WTH!?!? What Japanese restaurant doesn't have rice accompany their chicken katsu entree? Crazy! On the other hand, service was great and food was good too. read more

We went on Sunday night during the memorial weekend. The restaurant is clean and there's lots of parking. There's seats inside and outside. Also, there's a bar location. Our waiter Bryan did an awesome job serving our big party of 6. Bryan provides us with awesome customer services. Because it was the memorial weekend they had a special for military and veteran. That's plus for the veteran. I ordered the starter the scallops dynamite and I got the yakisoba for free because of the special. Thank you for offering a great promo. Don't forget on Sunday there's happy hour. I will be back and try more other sushi. read more

This evening was graduation night, and our grad had his heart set on sushi. His ceremony ran over causing us to miss our original dinner reservation, so we figured we would give RA a try. We arrived late (near closing time) with a party of 10 to find the restaurant absolutely slammed with other grads. Given the time and how busy they were, they could have turned us away, but instead the manager, Walter, stepped in personally and took care of us. Walter provided phenomenal service despite how busy the restaurant was, and made sure our graduate had a memorable night. As good as the food was (and it truly did come out perfect), the customer service is actually what stood out the most. Walter was so courteous, helpful, and accommodating, we really could not have had a better experience. Thank you, Walter, for going above and beyond and helping make an important night special for our grad. read more

From my many visits to RA Sushi locations around the country (and other locations in the Valley), I can confidently say that RA isn't the type of place where you typically get a five-star meal and experience. BUT... this was the type of experience that will make me come back to RA! We sat outside. It was a toasty day, but the sun was setting and it had began to cool off. I appreciate that they have misters on the patio... but it ended up being surprisingly cold out there. So we grabbed some jackets and that helped. I had received an e-mail from RA that was advertising their new Cold Water Lobster Fried Rice. That got me in the door... and it was pretty awesome! Tons of flavor and more lobster than I was expecting! I also especially loved that they could make their fried rice dishes gluten-free - yay! And being a confident man, I don't mind ordering a drink that sounds a bit more "girly"... like the Mermaid's Brew. So I ordered that and... WOW, it was EXCELLENT! So I ordered a second one! Overall rating: ****FOUR STARS**** Gluten-free rating: ****FOUR STARS**** read more

RA always provides a decent experience, but nothing I would call exceptional. Our waitress, however, was genuinely one of the kindest servers I've ever had. She was frequently checking in, and took the time to chat with us and make us feel welcome. The service here really stood out for going above and beyond. The food itself was solid, but not what I'd consider great, especially given the prices compared to other sushi spots I personally prefer. The caveat to this is that the portion sizes are pretty reasonable. read more

Stopped in for some crab fried rice, but unfortunately, it was just not good. Flavors were all wrong. It actually tasted weird. That's my best description. My blushing geisha cocktail was ok and service was pretty good, hence the 3 star review, but can't say I'll be back to this Ra or any other Ra anytime soon! read more

Loved the food and ambience! Service was a little slow to start and we waited 20 min before flagging someone down to serve our table, but once we got out server it was a great experience. The food came out quickly, it was so fresh and some of the best of this cuisine I've had. Definitely worth stepping in and trying :) read more

RA Steak & Sushi - Seating Area - Japanese Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

I've been to a lot of sushi restaurants, but RA is definitely one of my favorites. Everything is made to order, so you're always getting it fresh. If you go, you have to try the RAckin' Roll it's super crunchy, flavorful, and easily one of the best things on the menu. I also tried some of my mom's ramen, which didn't impress me. (not flavorful) The hibachi plates are good but not worth $45 for just rice and meat. The service was fine -- nothing to complain about, but nothing that really stood out either. They have great happy hour deals so I'd definitely recommend going then to sample a few different rolls or drinks. read more

We used to go here relatively often, but we have not been going as frequently recently since I felt the food has decreased in quality. Still a solid choice for sushi and food but it can be inconsistent. The service was alright although they did apparently put in the steak fries order wrong and we had a wait a little longer for that but the owner was gracious and apologized for the delay. The waiter didn't own up to that mistake tho and said they were just busy which I didn't necessarily find appealing. Overall would still say a decent sushi place with good ambiance. read more

LOVEEEEEE! Thanks to the bartender Brandon for treating me well and taking care of me! Sangria was delicious and sushi was so good. I didn't take pictures of my salmon nigiri or Las Vegas roll. But it's because I was so hungry and scarfed it down omg. The restaurant is open and big the theme is red and asian. Fitting for the vibe. This RA is nice, I'd come here again :-) read more

Love this location. The food is always great & this restaurant in Dana Park has always looked amazing to me. The service is usually on point & when I DoorDash from here they always include the extras like soy sauce, wasabi, & ginger which is nice because I've ordered sushi elsewhere & have been burned before. My favorite dish is the seared Ahi Tuna, it's the best. read more

3.5 but rounding up because of the service. Stopped in on a Monday with a friend and was pleasantly surprised to see that it was happy hour all day. The menu is extensive and offers items ranging from hibachi to sushi and more. I ordered a HH California roll, chashu ramen, and we split the chili ponzu yellowtail roll. The yellowtail roll was definitely my favorite although I did feel like it could use a bit more yellowtail on top. The California roll was fine and the ramen was better than I was expecting. While it wasn't the best I've ever had, the noodles and egg were great and the pork and broth were decent. I usually avoid RA Sushi because it's on the more expensive side for average sushi. The area where I was seated wasn't super clean with trash under the table. However, service was very good and I did enjoy my food, it was just on the pricier side for the quality. I'd definitely come back on a Monday again for happy hour! read more

I have loved RA for years & sad to say I'm not sure I'll ever go back. Friendly service, YES, but ridiculously slow -- we heard apologies for how long things were taking at multiple tables, including ours. There were quite a few full tables on the patio & practically empty inside. One bartender & quite a few drinks being ordered. The table next to us ordered a dragonfruit mock-tail & were greatly disappointed to be told they were out of stock -- they seemed to be out of several items that evening. The menu had changed since I'd last been there & my man had a very difficult time finding anything that didn't have jalapeño, spicy or fake crab . I ordered my faves. Hamachi Nigiri -- it was SUPER! BUT the Vegas... although it looked good, it was muuush on the inside. Anyway, we were bummed at the whole experience other than the fun decor & the friendly service. It was probably our last at RA. read more

Overpriced. The portions are good, the food is good, but there are way better options for cheaper. Only time I would go here is when it's 10pm and I want to sit down for sushi. The service is okay, almost like the waiter forgot we were there before he gave us the check. The place has a great vibe going, dark and night life, but that doesn't make up for the cost. read more

Sat and waited over 20 min for no service while we watched them seat and serve the entire restaurant. Spoke to hostess TWICE who went in back but still multiple servers circled around us with no eye contact or greeting, as if we were not there. Do better Ra. Will not be back. read more

Great place to eat. Will be going again! My family and I truly enjoyed our time here.

3 stars because they celebrate Veterans! The food took over an hour so definitely don't arrive super hungry. The person who was assigned to our table was great despite the wait. She apologized several times and we knew this was absolutely not her fault and tipped her the largest amount possible on the card reader device since she had an amazing attitude despite dealing with many frustrated tables. The food is subpar at best. The meal below is the filet mignon and shrimp which comes to about 56$ with tax. I would probably have paid 10$ max due to the quality and quantity of meat. They do have a decent happy hour which might be worth the price! read more

Stopped by here to enjoy lunch and service by Bartender Ebonee! Exceptional! I ordered the filet mignon (rare) and lobster entree for lunch. Such a fun choice. Loved getting to try the onion soup, which she went out of her way to get me! The Lobster was perfectly prepared and the veggies were great. The steak was a little overdone and the sauce is a little bit thicker than I normally like. I'll probably will stick to Sushi next time, but it was so fun to try this. The wagu looked so good! Maybe next time! So generous and lovely to see Ra generously honoring first responders and teachers! Thank you! I give this place a five star just based off the exceptional service alone and overall ambience. read more

There are select sushi rolls here that are quite tasty but generally, the food is a little bit overpriced. Happy hour on the other hand is a much better deal, but there are quite a few stipulations that come with their happy hour. Be sure to sign up their emails they give good deals on your birthday and your half birthday. Service was pretty quick. Their crab puffs were a little bit bland, but the sushi roll with the guacamole and shrimp was scrumptious. read more

During our Sunday visit, the service was slow, and the food didn't arrive in order--my wife had to wait a long time. The food quality wasn't like before either. I'm not blaming the staff in service or the kitchen--they worked hard. The issue lies with management for leaving the shift understaffed, prioritizing cost savings over quality and customer service. Because of this experience, I won't be returning to Rasushi. read more

Walked in on Sunday for lunch and the place was empty only a handful of people eating so I should have taken it as a bad sign to start. Sat down ordered drinks from the waitress. I noticed to start the hostess kept walking away and disappearing till the point where people were waiting to be seated. Again this was a slow day at this place and it happened again with a large party then again where the people waiting walked back out. Then again the hostess disappeared and my waitress actually sat people down because the hostess was gone again. Ordered three rolls and they came fairly quickly! Ok here goes the reason why my low score. Sushi rice was hard on all three rolls and dry! ULTIMATE SHRIMP TEMPURA ROLL had tuna that was really dry and not good so I picked it off. My waitress was nice and polite but a bill of $135 including a tip for just two alcoholic drinks and terrible rolls ain't it. Food needs to be a lot more better! read more

Should have apologized for the wait, but were rude instead. Cannot say much else besides that. To go, pick order was past pick up time.

Came here to celebrate my daughter's 21st birthday. It was a nice surprise to learn that it's all day happy hour on Mondays! The HH menu had excellent options and the drink choices was good. We had the frozen watermelon margarita and the cabana boy mocktail. Both drinks were delicious. We ordered a few things from the HH menu. Gyoza, egg rolls, California roll, crispy shrimp tempura roll, rainbow roll, spicy crispy rice, chicken fried rice, chicken ramen and chasu ramen. The meal was delicious and i highly recommend coming by to eat here! Excited to come back. Good eats and our server Alec was top knotch! The manager Mark came by and said hello and asked us how our meal was! RA, is a nice place to enjoy yummy sushi and ramen, oh, and Sign up for their rewards program.
