The best sushi I've ever had. I've had sushi up and down the entire west coast, down the strip of ocean to the south of Texas. I have my "go-to" places for sushi where I'm native to in Oregon, but this tops them all. I picked 3 rolls of different quality and type of seafood to share with my partner. All 3 were perfect. Without a doubt going forward every time I visit, I'm coming back. No need for a long review, go get some sushi
This was my first time here. They have a lot of sushi. I personally prefer cooked rolls. I went with my daughter and nephew. My nephew who ate various items, left feeling nauseous. If you love sushi this place should satisfy your craving. The waiters were phenomenal and very attentive.
I would categorize Ra as 'mid grade sushi'. This location is across the street from Uchi which is another level ( and price) of sushi. The one roll I have been getting for years is the 'crazy monkey roll' . This roll has sweet sliced mango on top which compliments the salmon and cream cheese in the roll. Restaurant needs a remodel and service was 'bare minimum' .
There was a peice of hair in my food . I wasn’t rude but I did bring this to my waitress attention . They took 10$ of the bill . If I was the management I would have taken that plate off the bill . Waitress was nice but not attentive enough . My lobster tail was not a traditional lobster tail you’d expect. Instead I received an old dry crustacean shell with little pieces of lobster cut up and thrown back in there . Who asked them to cut my lobster and take it out the shell. I wanted it served in the tail as displayed in their menu picture. The portion of meat looked like they cut the tail down the middle and gave me only half of the meat and threw it back in the lobster shell . I wonder who got the other half of my lobster meat they didn’t get the shell I know for sure just the meat . Lastly when we walked in they said all the drinks are half price Mondays . She didn’t say some she said ALL. When the waitress came over she repeated the special the host had informed us of and I asked her what does she suggest . I ordered two of the drinks suggested and they were good but left a bad taste in my mouth when I got my bill . The drinks were not discounted . I asked my waitress about this , you know the one that told me the half off special and suggested the drink. She says oh those aren’t included in the special. For crying out loud why in the world would yu tell me about a special offer then suggest something not included . Didn’t think to ask was this drink included bcuz I was already told twice ALL drinks are half off. I have visited this restuturant in different states and have had similar experiences. Fried icecream was good but I’d rather eat a pop tart before I get anything from them agian . I would not suggest this place . Kasai steakhouse 0.03 miles up the road is way better all around and guess what the serve my lobster 🦞 in the tail .
What a great thing to be be back to the same sushi spot I actually tried sushi successfully. Back in the 00s I was skeptical but it was RA sushi that made me a fan! It's a great space with excellent art and most importantly kind customer service. - Jackie was wonderful for each of the days I frequented the Scottsdale RA sushi bar. You dealt with a high volume busy lunch rush with ease and a smile. I appreciate this and the high quality of sushi your restaurant has consistently provided for me for decades! Thank you so very much! You have kept this place special!
