Best food ever, definitely recommend the miso soup and the California roll. The service is great, and this is definitely my favorite restaurant. read more

I came in tonight to have dinner with my mom. It was our first time in, our server Krysti gave us edamame on the house for coming in for the 1st time which was a nice treat. The crunchy shrimp temp roll was our favorite. All the staff was really attentive so I don't know why the table across from us stormed out after waiting only 5 minutes. There appeared to be only 2 servers and a few tables came in at the same time we happen to be sitting near the host stand so it was hard to not notice. The manager Mark came up to make sure we were taken care and that we weren't having to wait for anything. I think this had to do with that rude table that refused drinks from the host in the 1st 2 minutes of seating and stormed out. But we were more than happy with the service provided. Besides them causing a seen the atmosphere was great with nice music playing. We will be coming back for sure!! read more

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

This was my first time eating at RA Sushi. We visited RA Sushi around 7PM on a Tuesday and had a $50 birthday reward from my husband's birthday. The restaurant was nearly empty, so we were seated, served, and finished in under an hour. The red decor creates a nice atmosphere, though it feels more like an adult-focused spot than a family-friendly venue so I personally would not bring kids. My husband really enjoyed his sushi, particularly the Shrimp Tempura and California rolls. However, he noticed the prices have increased since he last ordered sushi and the specialty rolls didn't feel worth the extra cost. In the future, he'd opt for two traditional rolls (like shrimp or salmon) for just a dollar more, which offers twice the pieces even if they are slightly smaller. My husband would give this meal a 3.5 star. My experience with the entrees was less ideal. Since they were out of almost all steak options, I ordered the Chicken Noodles. Unfortunately, the dish was not great. It lacked any teriyaki flavor and mostly tasted like a faint soy sauce. It was heavily loaded with large, thick slices of green onions (you may want to ask for light or finely diced onions if you aren't a big fan) and had very little chicken or mushrooms. It ended up feeling like a bowl of noodles and raw onions. I wouldn't order this dish again. The salad that came with the meal tasted like a citrus dressing and I was not a fan of it or the soup. I would give this meal a one star. Lastly, our server brought the bill and said, "cash tips are appreciated." While most people should know cash is always great, having a server say that directly felt a bit awkward. The food experience overall wasn't great and I was thankful my husband had a birthday reward or I would have felt even more disappointed as I did not find our meal worth a $70 meal. 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

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

The service and food was top notch from start to finish. Louis the Manger was the best. Thanks for the great service.

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

We come to Ra from time to time for a quick lunch. I do love the lunch options here. My husband and I love the bento boxes.the server was great and prompt. Pricing is unbeatable for casual lunch. Ambiance is okay. This location is a bit old and needs refreshed but is always clean. read more

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

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

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

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

Great sevice from the bartender, absolute miss on the deli meat thin sliced ahi tuna appetizer... for $16 with ice tea and tip i walked out hungry and mad at my lunch! $24 was the final total I have decided this unimpressive "upscale" sushi bar is no longer where either would like to spend my money or hungry lunches... read more

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

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

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

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

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

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

It's Christmas night(last night) and I had just the most wonderful time with my fam bam & I know we had a little kid running around & a baby with us . Very inconvenient for everyone else. But our server Makenna I believe her name was, she was just wonderful . She kept up with us & checked on us all the whole time. I give her 10/10 stars for amazing service and very big thank you for taking care of us . 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

If you've been to Ra before the new ownership, get ready for disappointment. This used to be a clean restaurant with terrific food and now the drinks are awful, the dishes are all dirty (even after requesting clean plates), the tables are sticky, the menu is much smaller than it was and our sushi was nowhere near the quality we've received in the past. I felt bad for our waitress, as the disappointment we felt was hard to hide. We didn't finish our food and we definitely didn't want to take it with us. For the price, there are much better places to eat. We will not be returning ever again. read more

I was excited to visit Ra after several years. Presentation floors were dirty and tables not bussed. My fiancé used the bathroom and they were also dirty. It was 3:30 and it wasn't too busy. Hostess was nice. Server friendly and then disappeared for long periods of times. Service for food after we ordered was over 40 minutes. Sushi came out warm. Mocktail tasted like watered down juice. Food quality 2/10. Please stay away and spend your money elsewhere. read more

It's a Ra Sushi and it's just as you expect! Get your old favs --pineapple wontons and ra'ckin shrimp-- or order something new. Solid rolls, expansive hibachi menu.... There's something for everyone. Shout out Taven for awesome service. He made sure we enjoyed our date night! read more
