I normally call in and grab and Go. I get the Rawz roll with Ginger Sauce and Crab Rangoon. My favorites.

Overall good experience. The atmosphere is completely average for that type of of restaurant. The see Wes good, but not outstanding. I have no complaints about the food except the spring roll didn't have much flavor! read more

I'll be honest with you their portion size was a bit smaller than expected. The food was ok but I can understand how many people that haven't experienced this may rate it higher. I don't know what to say other than it was "mid".... I have eaten here a few times and wasn't impressed with it enough to give it a better rating. read more

Rawz is a good not great option for sushi, if there were more options to choose from I wouldn't come here as often. Service can be slow at times, and we have had some mix ups while visiting (brought us the wrong roll completely and then said we would have to wait 10/15 minutes for the correct one). It's not a bad option, just not a recommendation I'd give with full confidence. read more

Kelly was sweet. What I am about to write is not a reflection of her at all. The crab rangoons were hot and fresh. My udon noodles were delicious and full of flavor. I ordered a sushi roll that on a previous visit, came out warm with no spicy chili oil that tonight came out ice cold with spicy chili oil all over it. I took one bite and knew it was not right so I called the waitress and told her I could not eat it because of the spice level and was told that the roll I ordered tonight was correct and the previous one I received was incorrect. Well how was I supposed to know that? I said well I can't eat that. I was then told that because it was the correct roll I would have to pay for it. I said ok fine. then the manager or whoever comes back with it after I sent it back telling me it was the right roll and leaves it at my table. I said I'm not eating that. He just looked at me and walked away. So not only did I not get what I came for, I had to pay for something I could not eat. It will be a while before I return here. read more

The overall experience was subpar to say the very least. The Beef Pho was lacking seasoning, the noodles were extremely starchy and the "beef" was not a cut of meat I had tasted before. The Alaskan Sushi roll was decent. The Phoenix Sushi roll wasn't the same roll type as other sushi houses, but to be fair, I should have read the ingredients to make sure it was what I wanted. Our server seemed very overwhelmed but he did the best he could to take care of us. As for the overall atmosphere, it was bland. There wasn't any anticipation of service, the music was so loud you had raise your voice to have a conversation, and the appearance of the restaurant is very dated. This was the first time in several years I had visited this establishment due to the poor service and food I received last time so I was hoping for an improvement. read more

Went there today 21st of June 2025 we sat there for more than 30 minutes empty drinks no one refilling or acknowledging our existence- after 45 minutes they tell us the printer was out of paper so our order wasn't processed- ???? They had my wife's Sushi ready so they brought that out which it looked and tasted like dishwater. We ordered soup but again the printer didn't work so the cooks sat around playing on the phone. Finally I told them forget it were out! No apologizes nothing- I highly recommend avoiding this dump service is horrible and the silverware is discusting !!!!!!!! The atmosphere is like a funeral home read more

we ordered two yami yami rolls and a side of noodles. the rolls where good but they literally gave us plain noodles? from a sushi place I would've expected regular Chinese noodles but plain noodles no sauce, veggies, or anything is crazy. very disappointing read more

Sunday me and my mom had lunch here since I was traveling from Dallas & had taste for sushi. My mom ordered a dish the waiter recommended but didn't realize it had RED SAUCE that she cannot eat due health conditions. The owner was asked to credit her for other time since they were closing at 2:30 or please remove item since my mom never touched the dish. The owner became very RUDE (yelling at us) & Passive Aggressive and threatens to call the cops even though we paid for all the other items. My mom called the cops herself and long story short we were able to leave without paying for something the owner tried to force us to pay for!! He was very disrespectful and rude. I will not be supporting this business anymore when visiting home. Also, my other family members will not neither. I loved this place sushi before this incident. read more

Cafe' RawZ - This is the $16 sweet and sour dish- my mom was just allergic to the red sauce. The owner was very rude about it! - Sushi Bars Near Me - West Monroe, Louisiana

I've always found the food flavorful and the service is good. The sushi has been very good.

Dont waste your time and to have the owner tell us not to come eat sushi on a Friday is ridiculous. Rude and terrible service. read more

Getting overpriced. 30 bucks for a salad and small salmon and rice plate for lunch. It's a shame bc it's been one of my favorite restaurants but now I probably won't go back read more

Excellent food Very reasonable prices Good clean atmosphere Awesome service Best go early to avoid a wait read more

I thought the sushi was good and high quality. I will say, the nigiri was excellent and the volcano roll was as well. I also tried the tuna trio and while it was good, it was just too spicy for my liking. I am sure many like it this hot but too much spice does not work for me and takes away from the natural flavor of the sushi. read more

We moved away and always missed our times at Rawz. Until recently, we had not been able to eat at Rawz for a number of years. The Staff was nice enough, but when we got the food it was nothing like we remembered. The Tamarind chicken was a small quantity of poorly flavored cornmeal-fried thin chicken with little sauce that was very sour. The chicken lo mein had very little chicken and no sauce to speak of. We added on vegetable egg rolls that came out dark-almost burned and appeared to fried store-bought frozen egg rolls. Sad to say, we wont be going back...our Rawz is dead and gone. read more

This place is amazing. You must stop by if your in Monroe. Every time we been here the food is yummy and the service is always great. I get the veggie dish with glass noodles and my husband gets the phi Thai. But what ever dish you get you want be disappointed I promise. The atmosphere is also great. So stop by today/ Highly recommend. I stop by wherever I'm in town. read more

Cafe' RawZ - menu for a restaurant - Sushi Bars Near Me - West Monroe, Louisiana

I used to love this place when it first opened by the university. Now I don't love it so much. Or even really like it. I had the shrimp and tofu Pad Thai. I was very disappointed. It was very inexpensive. The portion was small and I never eat all my food. Maybe it was an off day. Maybe I'll try it again the next time I'm in town visiting my parents. read more

Food and Service are all consistent. There's never a long wait and the food is fresh cooked after you order.

We always enjoy our food and the service is great. We especially appreciate that the environment is quite even if the restaurant is at capacity. The Sushi is very good and always fresh. We haven't found a dish that we don't like. read more

Put me on hold forever until they were close to closing and then came back on phone to tell me that they can't do my order after 10 mins on hold. Terrible customer service! read more

For West Monroe this is probably a good place to eat. My brother raves about this place. But, I live in Austin, TX and we have crazy awesome sushi restaurants, so it was a let down for me. The service was super slow...some of the slowest service I've ever received. The menu kinda confirms why it's a let down. They have a combo of Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, and Thai food on there. My advice: just focus on one thing and be great at it instead of trying to be okay at a lot of things. Great potential, just no sprinkles. read more

This place offers some amazing fresh made Sushi, as well as a large variety of soups, noodle dishes and traditional Thai offerings, as well as some Chinese options. We have eaten hear many times, and the service is typically fast, and the food is consistently good. They use fresh spices and it really shows in the aromatics and flavor of the dishes. If I have one complaint it is that the kitchen sometimes miss time the cooking of the tables order, and on more than one occasion they have delivered half the food, and not the rest, leaving some of the party staring at their fellow dinners as they eat. We have found that telling our server, "please tell the kitchen we want all the food out together" helps with this. I know that it should be normal for this to happen, but here you may need to make sure you request it. read more

This place never disappoints! Always enjoy trying something new or coming back to old favorites that stay consistent and delicious. Whether we do to-go or dine in, we love it! read more

This is absolutely my favorite place for Thai food and one of my favorite places to eat ever, but I learned recently that the servers don't get to keep their tips. The owners take them. I mean they make more than minimum wage, but still. I feel like my previous tips were a waste. Why am I paying for food and then paying extra to tip if my hardworking server doesn't even get to keep it? It feels like we've both been cheated. Obviously I'll never tip there again, which is such a shame because the cooks and the servers more than deserve it. The food and service is always top notch! Leaving a 1-star review in hopes that it makes the owners take notice. I'm going to spread the word so everyone I know will stop tipping, too. Thinking of the HUGE tips we've left there in the past just makes me so irritated. read more

I still LOVE the food! However, the servers who are amazing, DO NOT get to keep the tips!!!!! Don't bother tipping. Save your money. They make more than minimum wage, which is great, but all these years I have left the tip for my server... To me, a tip is a thank you to them for their hard work. I've had two servers confirm that they do not get to keep the tips. Amazing food as always, highly recommended. read more

This is my wife's favorite sushi place. Personally I'm not a sushi fan and I usually order an entree from the menu but I love the steamed dumplings and the goza (fried dumplings). The pho is also really good. read more

Food was excellent. Sushi was awesome! Quick service as well. Highly recommend this place!

Good ass fucking food love the people and service was perfect the food came out at a decent time didn't have to wait for ever and service was amazing!!!!!!!!! read more

Extremely slow service. Tiny portions. Unappetizing presentation. There are better places to eat in town by a lot.

Rawz is generally an ok value for the price, but the service just continues to go downhill. Today was my daughter's birthday. The place was not crowded, but the staff acted like they just could not be bothered. My daughter's California roll came out stacked on top of itself on a saucer. When I asked about it they acted like that was just how it comes. The manager was one of the rudest I have ever encountered. The restaurant is fine. It's dimly lighted. Mostly clean. I'm not sure we will be going back anytime soon. read more

I liked the Alaska roll! It was pretty decent sushi for Monroe though. I liked the fast service though!

I love the tamarind tilapia with fried rice. The orange chicken is good as well. They are well known for their sushi but have many options.

I stay in West Monroe occasionally and thought I'd branch out from the chain restaurants or eating at the hotel tonight. I was trying to keep in mind that I'm in a small town and not to expect too much. With that being said, I guess I had an accurate assumption. I was greeted promptly and seated at a table for 4, but a table for 2 was right next to me (I was alone and this was probably frustrating to customers waiting with larger parties). I usually sit at the sushi bar when I go for sushi, but this restaurant doesn't have one. I ordered and got my food in a pretty quick timeframe. The guy that brought my 2 rolls actually held it at such an angle that 2 pieces of a roll slid right off the plate. He was clearly sorry so I told him not to worry about it. The food was solid, but nothing to write home about. Service was sub-par. The girl that helped me didn't know what beers they had, and was quite confused when I asked her to split the food and drink into separate checks. When I left, the same girl and another guy were at the host desk. They both looked at me, but no thank you or goodbye was offered. Again, I didn't come in with high hopes, and they delivered that experience for me. Oh well. read more

Honestly. The food wasn't that great. Sushi didn't taste as fresh as I will like it to be. read more

This place is by far the best sushi bang for your buck. The ahi tower is one of the most spectacular dishes in the twin cities! If ordering to-go, be sure and ask for extra soy sauce. You can typically get in and out in a lunch hour. read more

Very bad experience-- my takeout was totally wrong-- even after the individual checking me out supposedly checked it. The food was definitely subpar-- very disappointed-- I have always liked their food in the past. read more

None of the waiters ever recommended what I should get. The menu had too many items. I ended of getting things that I could have gotten anywhere and it wasn't quite worth it. read more

Super surprised! Moved back to Monroe after living in BR and had a craving for Thai food. Rawz hit the spot! I was craving Papaya Salad the most, and it was exactly what I was looking for! I got it Hot, even though they recommended mild, and it is was the perfect spice (only if you can take the heat)! Definitely going back! My boyfriend got the Red Curry and it was delicious too! The only thing we didn't like were the Spicy wings. They weren't bad, but from the picture they seemed similar to Korean Wings, but they weren't. The wings weren't even spicy, just sweet but crispy. read more

This place is garbage! All of the fish served on our sushi was days if not weeks old. You could smell it through the plastic containers. They don't serve any wasabi or ginger with the sushi either. You're better off by just shredding your money and throwing it away. Bear Grylls wouldn't even eat this shit!! read more

I moved away 5 years ago but make a point to eat here when I come back for a visit. Best spring rolls I have ever eaten and the "crazy maki" roll is crazy good!!! Good variety of food to choose from and its always taste fresh. Highly recommend eating here. read more
