A very swanky sushi restaurant in Elk Grove! The menu here is very extensive and the ambiance and decor is amazing. The staff are all very helpful and sweet, special shout out to Terrance! Alex, the owner/manager was extremely helpful to us in planning our grandmother's 99th birthday here. For a party of 60+, they were extremely accommodating and the venue and food made it such a special celebration. They even brought out an extra dish of cooked salmon over rice for the birthday girl, because they heard she's a fan of that. We have tried a lot of their food and everything is delicious. The only things that are just okay are the chicken karaage and the gyoza. They have amazing udon broth and the fish quality on all items is very high. The rolls are more Americanized and come with sauces and frills, but everything is well balanced and delicious! Everyone was impressed by the look of the spread as well as the flavor. Our friends and family demolished everything! We also had a few plates of sashimi and a few appetizers that were also all delicious. I would definitely come back for their happy hour again for the great deals! read more

We had such a beautiful experience overall--the food was absolutely incredible, and the presentation was next-level. there was one detail that really took away from what could have been a perfect evening. There's a designated "room," but without a door, it doesn't quite function as one. Unfortunately, the noise from the group inside carried throughout the space and disrupted the ambiance we were really hoping to enjoy. With how stunning the atmosphere and dining experience is, adding doors--or even creating more enclosed, private dining areas--would elevate this place tremendously. It would give guests the option for a more intimate, comfortable, and immersive experience, especially for special occasions. This is truly a place with so much potential to be flawless, and a small change like this could make a huge impact. We would absolutely return and recommend it--especially if that added level of comfort and privacy is considered. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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... read more

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. read more

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). read more

Made reservations for a family of 8, 7 adults and one toddler. The place is nice and clean! It was our second time here. When entering there's a salon to the right that I'm excited to try out. But the sitting area of the place is great, we usually book for the dinner and they open the blinds to see the sunset. The waitresses have been absolutely wonderful as well as the host. The spicy edamame, salmon bomb, karrage, mixed tempura, oyster shot, and tuna ceviche are all great appetizers. For the entree last time we were there we got the Dante's Inferno, roadkill and BTS. Dante's inferno came with tempura jalapeños and it was delicious! I'd recommend it to everyone. This time around we got a lot of different items. Mixed sashimi, sashimi & nigiri, beef teriyaki, roadkill again, and tried out the Gamble roll. The gamble roll is so worth it. I won't spoil it but if you can, I say do it, don't question it ‍ came with the poker chip and it was such a cute token, has their number and business name with a QR code. read more

We went to Raw Sushi bar to celebrate our friends wedding anniversary. We went for dinner on August 8 around 6:30 PM. We had a reservation for four people. We had to wait a few minutes as they got a table ready. We had a lovely waitress who was super attentive, and we were even more excited to have her as it was her birthday. We laughed with her each time she came to our table to check on us. The food was very good overall - I will apologize now, I cannot for the life of me remember the names of the rolls we got. The one call out was that two of the rolls, because the other two had a sauce either on them or in them, were a bit dry in comparison to the others. All of them had fresh ingredients, were made aesthetically pleasing, and each individual had their own favorite roll. I would definitely go back and try some of the other items they had. read more

recently stopped by on a saturday evening during elk grove restaurant week to enjoy their all day happy hour deal. it was a last minute visit so thank goodness for being able to join the waitlist online. there were able to seat a party of 6 within 20 minutes. ordered a bunch of dishes and everything was so good. my favorites were the unagi handroll, roadkill roll, dante's inferno appetizer and carpaccio. the lychee mojito was unique. the chicken karaage and grilled shishito peppers were alright - may pass on that next time. the ambiance was cool and trendy. it increasingly felt more club-like as the night wore on with the music (there's even a dj booth) and pink, blue lights. overall, good food, service and ambiance. would come back. read more

Came here on Friday evening with hubby. We arrived at 5:45pm and waited a good 5 minutes at the hostess table without a hostess. There was a couple in front of us and a couple behind us. A bit later, two hostesses took our names and seated reservations first (no issues there) and we waited another 10 minutes to be called. When we got seated, we were surprised that it there was plenty of seating where everyone in the lobby could have had a table. Our server took our drinks and appetizer order quickly and they also arrived quickly. However, our rolls did not have the same efficiency. A runner tried to give us the next table's order of rolls (we hadn't even ordered yet). After we did order, our cocktails were depleted, and another table that was seated after us got all of their rolls before us. Apparently they felt so bad that they asked a runner where our food was (first time for me). Our server did bring our rolls and did apologize for the delay saying that she cannot control the order of how things come out of the kitchen. From being seated to getting our Appetizers at 6:15pm and then our entree rolls at 6:55pm and 7pm (time stamps from photos) it's one of the largest gaps I've experienced. Food was ok, serving size is good, can't say its worth the influx in price or the wait times. read more

The sushi rolls here are unique and delicious. We always start with the salmon bombs for an appetizer. We usually order the Texas hold 'em roll and then switch out a second roll everytime.

Sushi was on point - everything we ordered delivered not just pleasantly eye candy but pleasing to taste. Fresh Fresh Fresh! We came for Father's Day and were seated right away at our reservation time. We were greeted with a smile and our server was very sweet. I would have gave this place a 5 star but the drinks came short - they looked nice but the taste didn't follow. We ordered the lemon drop, espresso Martini and cucumber Martini - for the price - not worthy. Note: I been to Raw a few times and each time, the food will come out slow BUT worth the wait. I made a late reservation for this reason to avoid the crowd and the extremely longer wait In case you didn't know, yes you can order deep fried jalapeño as an appetizer. yummy!

I stopped by Raw Sushi Bar Lounge for dinner with a friend for a celebratory dinner and came at about 5:30pm on a Monday. It's in a little business area between Elk Grove Blvd and Civic Center Drive and is located right next to Verona Nail Lounge Lash and Spa. There is plenty of parking in the lot and there's a very cool logo sign that you walk under to get into the lobby. Once you're inside, there's a large lobby with seating. In the middle is a check in station, though other than a board with specials written on it, there's no real indication that you need to stand over there to check in and reserve a table. I feel like more signage that indicates the station in the middle belongs to the restaurant and not the spa or that it's just a lobby area would be helpful. Now we know though. We didn't need to wait too long before we were walked back to a table, maybe 5-10 minutes. The restaurant has a large and beautiful bar, booth seating, table seating and sushi bar seating. We ended up at a four top near the sushi bar. The ambiance was modern and upscale and it's a great choice for a date or celebration. We we happily surprised to realize we ended up here during happy hour. The happy hour menu has some great options and we took advantage and ordered Chicken Karaage ($10.50 reg, 30% off HH), Dante's Inferno Appetizer ($21.95 reg, 30% off HH), spicy hand rolls, ($9.95/each reg, $6.95/each HH), and spicy negi hama hand rolls ($9.95/each reg, $6.95/each HH). Out of the appetizers the Dante's Inferno Appetizer was out favorite. It's named after the owner and is like sushi version of a jalapeno popper- lots of flavor and a bit of heat. There's also a sushi roll with the same name that we were told is also very popular. The happy hour price on the hand rolls was great and the fish was fresh. The karaage was good, but now knowing the other options I wouldn't order it again. But it's a great option for a dining guest looking for something other than fish. For rolls we ordered the Crunch Time ($27.95), the Lomi Lomi Roll ($21.50), Crunchy Rainbow Roll ($22.95), and Philadelphia Roll ($19.95). We wanted to try a variety since it was out first visit and we opted for some that were simpler and some that would be a bit more complicated. The Crunch Time was our favorite of the rolls we ordered, it was topped with assorted fresh fish, scallion, jalepeno, tempura bits, tobiko, sauces and had tempura shrimp and spicy tuna inside and tempura lemon on the side. This was very flavorful and the tempura lemon was a really unique addition. The Lomi Lomi Roll has avocado and cucumber inside and is topped with fresh salmon, red onion, chili oil and ponzu. I was a bit underwhelmed by this one and expected a bit more heat from the chili oil. The Crunchy Rainbow Roll is a newer item, it has tempura shrimp and avocado inside and is topped with assorted fish, green onions, tobiko, tempura bits and sauce. This was tasty, but I think I prefer a traditional Rainbow Roll with the california roll filling. The Philadelphia Roll was my least favorite, it's the regular cream cheese, cucumber, and avocado inside with smoked salmon on top. For $19.95 it just doesn't seem like it belongs amongst the other rolls in this range. Maybe at $14 it would match a bit more, in my opinion. We also ordered hot tea with our meal and I was surprised when we were brought glasses with tea bags and not a pot of tea. This wasn't a bad thing, just surprising. The cups were really cute and they refilled my cup with hot water during the meal. Our server was friendly and attentive, our waters were filled throughout the meal, and as I mentioned our hot water was topped off in our tea. She also answered our questions as we were ordering and checked on us frequently. We both took home leftovers from this experience and we're excited to enjoy them. I would definitely visit again and now that I've explored the menu I would know how to order better. The Happy Hour is a great deal and I'd recommend coming for drinks, hand rolls and the Dante's Inferno Appetizer. read more

Chill vibes, great cocktails, friendly service, and creative rolls. That sums up RAW in one sentence! We've been here a few times now, and everything has always been absolutely top notch. If you're looking for a quiet sushi place, this ain't it, as it has almost a sports bar vibe with its large open space, huge lit up bar, and multiple TVs. The staff has always been super accommodating and friendly, and are always down to chat about food or drink recommendations. I actually discovered a great whiskey here the first time I came around! While there are probably dedicated mixologists during the weekends, we always come during the week when often our server will be the one making the making the drinks. It's hard enough to wait on tables, but making great, attractive looking cocktails is something else, and so far the servers here have done both with ease. In fact, I dare say that tonight our server made one of the best Whiskey Smashes i've ever had! We've had good appetizers, but the spicy garlic edamame really stands out. Very few sushi places use a proper sauce with their edamame, but RAW doesn't skimp on it! They don't skimp on their sushi rolls either. We've never not liked something that we've ordered, but I can stand by practically everything on the Special Roll menu. Yes, you will pay quite a bit for these, as they all tend to run around $25. But they're also all incredibly good. A standout for me is the Tuna Steak roll, which was my first experience with both tomato and asparagus on a sushi roll. It was basically a dinner plate made into sushi and it tasted incredible. RAW is just a rock solid place to chill if you're cool with a bit more expensive Japanese food and enjoy great drinks. read more

Raw had been recommended to me a few times so I was excited to finally check it out! Service was great and staff was very kind. It was a bit drafty inside but our waiter was able to turn off the air vent which helped and was much appreciated. It's also quite loud inside so keep that in mind for what type of vibe you want for a meal. We got a little of everything: spicy salmon roll, keeping it raw roll, chicken katsu entree, and sashimi mix. Both of the rolls were solid. The katsu was sort of mediocre, not very crispy or anything which I would have wanted. I did really like the sashimi mix though! It comes with 15 total pieces of fish--3 each of salmon, maguro, toro, and 2 others that i didn't remember. The toro was easily my favorite, so fatty and richly flavorful. It is all on the expensive end, so again keep that in mind. I would come back but not necessarily all the time. But I would recommend it as a nice sushi place with a fun vibe. read more

6-12-26 When this place first opened up, I was the biggest fan; unfortunately. tonight was a true definition of a full 180. Sat at the bar. I ordered 2 items at the bar, an app and a Lion King roll, very simple, (it wasn't busy at all for a Friday night in EG, but we'll get to that) and our app never showed up. Bartender never came to check on us. The Lion King roll was $27 and was overcooked and not worth half of the price. Honestly I was highly disappointed. I really was wondering why it was so dead on a Friday night but now I totally understand why. Probably just a matter of time until they change the business name and move somewhere else.

We went on a Friday night and it wasn't too busy. Luckily we also had such a great experience with our server, Evan. We have never been here before and we didn't know what would be good. He was very polite and recommended some things for us. Everything was a hit. The place is huge, so the tables are nicely spaced out. I really liked the raspberry lemon drop, the combo was sweet and tart. The Gamblers roll is honestly worth it in my opinion. I was happy with what we got. We also got the Beef Teriyaki and the portion size was fair and generous. I'd come here again, but I'd love to sit at the bar next time. read more

Raw Sushi Bar Lounge - Lycheetini Martini and Old Fashioned to start - Japanese Near Me - Elk Grove, California

Raw Sushi was surprisingly good, given its location. It was located in a medical plaza, with nothing much around, but you check-in in a massive lobby and the host takes you inside where the restaurant is decorated like a club. The only thing odd about the interior is that half the room looked like a sit down sushi restaurant where the other half was like a night club with semi circle booths. I wish it was just one or the other. The food was delicious. The portions were great and the flavors were unique. The salmon bomb appetizer is a must-try, as well as the lycheetini. Both were my favorites. The classic simple rolls were not as special, so I would definitely recommend ordering their specialty rolls. Be ready to spend a lot of money though. ordered: lycheetini sapporo beer salmon bomb beef cilantro roll tempura shrimp roll read more

Raw Sushi Bar Lounge - Japanese Near Me - Elk Grove, California

Raw in Elk Grove is a solid spot overall, but not without a few drawbacks. First off, the ambiance is really nice. It has that sleek, modern, lounge-style vibe that makes it feel a bit more upscale than your typical sushi spot. Good place for a date night or just somewhere you want a slightly elevated atmosphere. The sushi itself is good. Fresh, well-presented, and creative. You can tell they put effort into how everything looks and tastes, and there are some unique rolls that stand out. It leans a bit more toward the trendy side of sushi rather than traditional, but it works. That said, it does come off a little pretentious at times, and the pricing reflects that. You are definitely paying a premium, and while the food is good, it does not always feel like it fully justifies the price point. Service has been the weak spot for me. It has not been terrible, but it has been inconsistent and not quite at the level you would expect for a place positioning itself this way. When you are charging those prices, the service should match. Overall, I would still give it 4 out of 5 stars. Good food, great ambiance, but slightly overpriced with service that could use some improvement. If you are in Elk Grove and want a more modern, lounge-style sushi experience, it is worth checking out. Just go in knowing what to expect. read more

I celebrated my birthday as well as my best friend's birthday with a party of 14 during lunch. Food was good! Although the beef cilantro roll is different now. I've order the beef cilantro roll previously before and instead of slices of meat and the crispy rice cake, it's sautéed meat and no crispy rice cake. Drinks were great! We got a complementary shot, which was delicious and so nice! Thank you! However, service was slow. Unfortunately, it seemed like there was only 1 server for lunch, and kitchen was slow as well. People in our party got their orders maybe 45-60 mins after we had sat and ordered, so that was kinda disappointing. Also, I was under the impression that I could get my deposit back to be able to split the check in 2, but that wasn't the case. We had another appointment at Verona nail spa after lunch, and we barely made it on time (I allotted 2 hours for lunch to make it to our nail spa party appointment), but we did get our birthday dessert delivered from Raw to Verona while getting our service done, so that was nice! Overall, I was satisfied, but there is room for improvement. My feedback would be to ensure that there should additional staff to accommodate the reservation along with normal traffic of lunch time. read more
