    This place has such amazing sushi, a beautiful lounge-y vibe, and great music (they were playing 90s hits all night). It is my place to stop if I am in the area. The drinks are always good too! My friend got me into this place, and she turned me on to the fried scallop appetizer (they are like mini sushi rolls with fried scallops on top). They're mouth-watering. I wish I took a picture of them, but I am sure we ate them all before we thought about pulling the phone out for a pic!

    Went here during Happy Hour for some drinks and appetizers. It was great! It was fairly empty during Sunday lunch, so our food came out quickly and our server was attentive. I got the Lychee Mojito, which was great, but the lychee chunks kept clogging the straw. I heard lots of good reviews about the Salmon Bombs, and they definitely lived up to it. They were bursts of flavor. All of the fish tasted fresh, and the Dante's Inferno Appetizer is great for large groups. I will definitely be back to try more of their drinks and their rolls!

    We been frequenting Raw for a while now and the food and service is pretty consistent. The host generally ask if we have reservations but walk ins are completely fine and there is always plenty of seating. Raw also offers really good cocktails and sometimes has specials. On Friday & the weekends there is a DJ later on and makes the atmosphere more fun. Highly recommend to those that love sushi with a slight club vibe but still family friendly.

    First time coming to Raw sushi bar and lounge. Upon entering, your eyes are captivated by great aesthetics similar to that of a ballroom foyer. It has great lighting setting in the mood for a great evening. The food is also very fresh and tasty. Just what you would expect a higher priced sushi spot. We had a great waitress, very informative and kind. She was also attentive to our needs throughout our evening. Would love to come back here soon.

    Another Elk Grove restaurant stop during Dine Elk Grove week. It's a beautiful place. We decided on dinner at Raw to try a few happy hour dishes since happy hour was a night with the Dine Elk Grove check-in pass. We tried several happy hour dishes and shared the chicken katsu entree, of which we ended taking most home with all the food we ordered. Our HH choices were fried gyoza, yellowtail razor, albacore carpaccio, the spicy (raw) salmon roll and California roll. Everything was delicious and very fresh. I especially loved the California Roll. The service was great, and we were so comfortable, with the great atmosphere in the restaurant that we stayed till the end of the dinner hour. We only noticed because they started stacking the chair on the table around us. We really enjoyed the evening and will be back again. There is plenty of parking in the lot, in front and in back of the venue.

    My husband and I took our aunt here to celebrate her belated birthday. We arrived at 6pm on a Sunday and it wasn't very busy. There was a mixup with the server so it took really long for someone to assist us. After placing order, food arrived shortly after. We ordered vegetable tempura, spicy salmon roll, sesame chicken entree, and 2 deluxe nigiri (10 pc each). Everything was very tasty and made fresh. Huge portions, slight slow service in the beginning but once we have a server established, I like that our server checked on us throughout the night and asked if we wanted refills for our tea a few times without us flagging her down.

    I've driven by this place multiple times wanting to stop by to try Raw Sushi Bar and finally got the chance to try it for my Aunt's 99th Birthday celebration! It's a huge beautiful restaurant and bar with a very open air concept! This use to be an event center for weddings, receptions and parties and there is plenty of room for an After Hours Club too! The Sushi presentation was unique and very eye friendly and the Surashi, Nigiri and Rolls were some of the freshest and tastiest I've had in the Sacramento area.. The owner Alex was there to make sure that everything ran smoothly and the service was very nice and friendly.. I would highly recommend recommend to give this place a try!

    I had a great time at Raw sushi with my family on a Monday. We enjoyed quite a few happy hour menu options including the hand rolls, fried gyoza and fried chicken karaage. For dinner, I had the Golden Shrimp Roll which was really good. Also, for desert we tried the mochi ice cream too which was a nice way to end the meal. I love the ambiance and service here. I would definitely recommend this place if you are looking for a nice sit down sushi restaurant.

    My sister and I stopped by for lunch thought the bar lounge looked like a great lounge with the large lit up bar. But we were here for that... We were looking forward to trying the sushi. Also, we found out that it was happy hour so that was a treat for us! We orders a few things from the happy hour menu. A beer, Lycheetini (so good), albacore carpaccio, yellowtail/pepper fin razor, spicy tuna hand roll and spicy salmon hand roll. I couldn't tell the difference from the sushi because it all looked the same. I love shishito peppers and thought they were undercooked. One thing I noticed that I had never seen before was slices of tomato on the sushi. Presentation was ok and the taste was just ok to me. I also thought the tap water served tasted odd. Overall, our lunch happy hour bill was about $80. Not what I expected but maybe in the near future I'll give them another try.

    We decided to get sushi for the night so we stopped at Raw. There was open seating so no reservations were needed at this time for Friday. It pretty big in side and well decorated. We were set promptly by a window and our order was taken for drinks. I ordered the Lychee Martini, which was very light in spirits. I don't know if it was the location where we were seated but there was a fruit fly that kept around which I did not appreciate. The sushi came out pretty promptly. It was within 10minutes. It tasted fresh. I would say it would've been a perfect dinner if it wasn't for that bothersome fruit fly...

    Confirming our reservation even though they were closed on this date.
    Laura O.

    We called and spoke to someone at the restaurant on 5/24 for a reservation for 5/25. Then, we received a text message- attached- on 5/25 to confirm our reservation. So we've talked to someone onsite and received a text that we were all set for my parents 41st wedding anniversary dinner..... but then we showed up and they were closed for Memorial Day. And being closed is okay! But why talk to us on the phone and text us? To top it off, we came from out of town for this dinner and we saw 5 other parties come for their reservations and no one told them that the restaurant was closed either. We took our business elsewhere, this was extremely disappointing.

    I've been a fan of RAW Sushi since their early days in Modesto and Stockton, so I was thrilled when they opened an upscale version in Elk Grove. My family and I have always enjoyed their rolls -- the quality is consistently excellent, and everything tastes fresh. Their specialty rolls, in particular, are light and refreshing, which I really appreciate. This location is noticeably larger and a bit pricier than the others, which makes sense given the more elevated atmosphere. There's even a section that can accommodate large private parties -- great for celebrations. I usually visit during off-peak hours, but the place tends to get busy on weekends, so reservations are definitely recommended. We often stick to our go-to dishes because they never disappoint. Our favorites: BTS Roll - our top pick and a must-try specialty roll. Dante's Inferno Roll - love the battered tempura jalapeños. SCS Roll - features crispy tempura asparagus. Lomi Lomi Roll - a refreshing salmon roll with a touch of lemon. Fried Oysters Salmon Ceviche Beef Carpaccio Chicken Katsu Plate - perfect for the kids (though now that they're older, they each want their own!). I've had a few instances of slower service, but it seems to be more of a shortage on staff depending on the time of day. Overall, I'm always satisfied when we dine here -- great food, fresh flavors, and a pleasant atmosphere.

    RAW as opened for a while, and we don't have a real reason to go there, until today after our Costco grocery and we noticed the Mega Salamence with still over 30 minutes on the timer. Off we drove there and the gym was right in front of RAW. Since we have to do two rounds of raids we might as well get some take out! When entered there is a conceige like reception area. One side is the spa and the other side is the restaurant. It was flu season and I was wearing a mask, and the place still reek with those nail polish / alcohol smell. Not a fan of that smell honestly. Anyway the reception/server is dressed up and super sweet and nice. She showed me the menu and help me to place the order quickly. She said she would bring me the food and I told her I will be outside (omitting the part I am here mostly for the Pokemon raid like a nerd). Food was well packaged and ready quickly. We went home and unload the grocery before we even get the time to eat. We got the chicken teriyaki and chicken katsu. Both are super good and if we had to pick one we preferred the katsu! The katsu just taste good and right. There isn't that many places with good katsu in Elk Grove, and we both agreed this is the top on our list (yes! #1!). The teriyaki chicken taste good too. The vegetable is crispy and flavor is good. If I had to be picky it is the chicken meat a bit tough. It is grilled before stir fry. They did use the correct meat cut (dark meat) already. The salad is also super fresh and crisps. I love that sweet salad dressing as it pairs well with the relatively bitter veggies option. Service wise it is easy one of the best places in Elk Grove. We didn't dine in but our short interaction was awesome. Location wise also good. Plenty of parking as it is used to be a banquet hall. Plus extra bonus with the Pokemon gym there! Food as I have already said it is one of the best in Elk Grove. We didn't try sushi which was their specialty, but we just don't feel comfortable ordering sushi to go. Price is a little steep, but it probably justified by the service and food. We didn't dine inside and I bet the ambience will also give points on the pricing. We think we will just do to go though. Main reason was that smell from next door. I am 100% not into smelling that. Even if you could not smell it, the chemical might still be in the air. Let alone I could smell it so strong even with the mask on. Basically it's like cheap salon chemical smell. Nicer polished don't have a strong smell even though chemical in the air. Not a fan. We will return, strightly to go, definitely for katsu and more Pokemon raids (especially after they install those new cell phone towers).

    Do they have happy hour?

    I have been 3xs on a Friday night and no happy hour

    Hello! I turned 37 today and want to celebrate my birthday there with my kids. I have a 17, 13, 11 and 6 year old. Wanted to know if it's kid friendly and if so, to make a reservation? Would love to try you guys out, my family LOVES sushi! Thanks!

    I think it would be a great place for (well-behaved) kids! The atmosphere is upbeat, and the ambiance is fun with music and cool lighting. It'd probably be best to make a reservation so you don't have to wait with your larger party. Happy Birthday!… 

    Do you take reservations?

    Yes, you can reserve on Yelp for up to a party of 10. For more than 10 people, please call or text us at (916)938-8888 for reservations.

    I'd love to know if there is anything that is or can be made vegan on the menu?

    Are kids allowed?

    Kids are welcomed at Raw. A lot of families dine at our establishment. Some are even here for the little ones’ birthdays!

    How do you make a reservation for this restaurant? I couldn't find a phone number online.

Upon arrival, we were greeted by a full parking lot...which is always a good sign. Upon entering what we thought was the Velvet Martini Lounge, we were greeted by an employee named Matt. Matt was very friendly and understanding when he realized that we intended on being in the Velvet Martini Lounge, not the Sheldon Inn Restaurant. He went above and beyond by introducing us to an employee who worked at the Velvet Martini Lounge and escorted us upstairs to the lounge. Upon being seated at the lounge, we were greeted by server James, who provided us with menus. Our sole purpose was to connect solely over adult beverages, so we both placed orders for drinks. My wife ordered the Big Shot Martini with blue cheese stuffed olives, and I ordered the Havana Haze (a rum-based drink). As we slowly sipped our drinks, we enjoyed our date night in the dimly lit, romantic ambience of the lounge. The background music was played at a perfect volume to where you could hear the music as equally as you could hear the individual(s) talking at your table. James did a great job of not being a "helicopter server" by periodically checking in on us. We intended on ordering a second round, but the drinks were so deliciously stiff (a sneaky stiff) that we decided it would be a wise decision to end the night. I cannot wait to make a return visit to celebrate one of our monthly anniversaries, I recommend checking out Velvet Martini Lounge!

We took a flight of stairs up and found the lounge bar and were able to get some open seats for drinks. The servers were friendly and got us waters and bread right away. We ordered the Dirty Sidecar and the French Prince. The drinks were okay, but we decided to get the espresso martini since we figured if the place is called Velvet Martini, maybe they specialize in Martinis. The espresso martini was the best cocktail out of the 3 we ordered and we were glad we got it to redeem the other drinks. There was a good amount of people here, some out celebrating birthdays, some on dates, and some tables of friends just hanging out and having food and drinks. There was also an outdoor area from the restaurant below which seemed to have a nice dinner setting. I would say the velvet martini is worth coming by if you're in the area and looking for drinks, but it is in a much more secluded area.

That place" I'm not sure what I was expecting, but it was good. Really good. Better than I remembered and definitely on the "we need to put this on our restaurant rotation". Double cheese burger and a rice beer for me, fried chicken sandwich and nitro stout for the wife, and a cheese flatbread pizza for the kiddo. Shout to our sever Gabriel who was super chill and there when we needed him.

    Nice Place for Drinks and Friends Gathering!…read more Dust Bowl Brewing Co. has a popular taproom just south of Sacramento, in Elk Grove's historic district. The Old Town Tap House is inside a beautiful historic brick building in the Old Town area. It has two huge 30-tap bars, very high ceilings, beautiful lighting, some private rooms, and a big outdoor area with fire pits and games. I really like the indoor space and the atmosphere here. PARKING: Plenty of parking in the complex. RESTROOM: Decent, clean, and bright. SERVICE: friendly, efficient The outdoor seating is beautiful, but the train tracks are basically right next to the restaurant. The train horn and noise can be very loud and last for a while, so it can be hard to have a conversation when a train comes by. Recommended DRINKS: *Strawberry Margarita Seltzer: Sweet and fruity with nice strawberry flavor, refreshing and easy to drink. *Marionberry Kettle Sour: Tart and fruity with a nice berry flavor. Refreshing without being too heavy. *Dust Bowl IPA: Crisp and hoppy with a nice bitterness and classic IPA taste. Recommended FOODS: *House Salad: Fresh romaine and iceberg lettuce with jack and cheddar cheese, cucumbers, carrots, tomatoes, and chunky house-made croutons. Fresh and crunchy with good texture. *Meat Lovers Flatbread: Crispy artisan crust with mozzarella, provolone, ham, bacon, pepperoni, Italian sausage, and marinara. Cheesy, meaty, and filling. *Fried Chicken Bacon Ranch Flatbread: Crispy chicken with bacon, cheese, and creamy ranch. Rich and tasty. *Pulled Pork Sandwich: Tender pulled pork with a savory and smoky flavor. *Cobb Salad: Fresh and filling with the classic Cobb salad toppings. Overall, I think this is a good place for family or casual gathering with friends. There is plenty of space, good drinks, food, and a fun atmosphere.

    Bourbon, Cigars & a Cozy Lounge at Sky River Casino!…read more The Humidor at Sky River Casino in nearby Elk Grove is the first and only dedicated bourbon and cigar lounge in the Sacramento regional casino market. Service: Decent, friendly, and informative. The staff was happy to explain the different drinks and cigar options. Rare Pours: They have 100+ whiskey selections from around the world, including hard-to-find and allocated bottles like Pappy Van Winkle. DRINKS I recommend: * Espresso Martini: A classic espresso martini served in a stemmed coupe glass with a nice foamy crema top. * Yellowstone from the Smoke Box: WhistlePig 6yr, Demerara simple, orange, and Angostura bitters. * Gotham from the Smoke Box: Angel's Envy, Carpano Antica, orange, and Angostura bitters. CIGARS: The cigar room has more than 168 selections. If you like sweeter, aromatic cigars, I'd recommend these popular Drew Estate options: * Lava Toro Latte: Mild-to-medium bodied and box-pressed. It tastes like a premium coffeehouse drink, with creamy mocha, espresso, vanilla, and caramel notes. Smooth and buttery. * Deadwood Sweet Jane: Mellow-to-medium bodied with a strong hit of sugar and vanilla bean sweetness. If you're a regular, you can even request a locker to store your cigar and liquor collection. Seating & Ambience: Big, comfy sofas and a dimly lit, relaxed atmosphere. It's a nice spot to sit back, have a drink, and enjoy a cigar. One downside: The smoke smell definitely lingers throughout the lounge. They do have a specialized air-control and filtration system designed to keep the space comfortable, but you can still smell the smoke pretty much everywhere. Overall, a cool spot if you're into bourbon and cigars or just want a more laid-back lounge experience at Sky River Casino.
