The restaurant was incredibly busy when we got there and most of the staff we could see looked visibly stressed. My friends and I were a little worried watching everything from the entrance because oh how slammed they were. And then we got sat and all our worries went away. Our server, Austin, immediately made us feel at home! He also was busy with what looked like maybe 5 or 6 other tables plus us but greeted us with a smile and made sure to effectively walk us through the menu and explained that cooked food might take a little longer than sushi. Since it was my friend's first time in, he brought us some complimentary edamame and got our drinks to us so quickly. Austin was very knowledgeable, calm, and seemed like he was genuinely enjoying taking care of us. The vibes were perfect with great music and a nice space to eat. Austin was perfect!!! That kind of calm confidence with what looked like chaos going on around him was so sexy!!! I almost wish he didn't have a girlfriend, she's a lucky girl! 12/10, can't wait to come back. read more

Congratulations to RA Sushi for getting my first ever 1 star Yelp rating. Everything was bad: The tables were dirty The service was slow The food was astronomically expensive The expensive food was then small and bland I intentionally ordered the most expensive roll on the menu, and was appalled by how bad it was. Possibly the worst sushi roll I've ever had. Let me put it this way: I had a $50 birthday reward, so my 1 beer and 1 tiny roll which came out to $45 were on the house. And I still find myself wishing I had just let the coupon go and had eaten somewhere else. It wasn't worth the $4 I paid for parking. No. read more

RA Steak & Sushi - $45 worth of food and drink - Sushi Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

RA Sushi absolutely killed it last night. The food was fantastic, we crushed seven rolls including the Las Vegas, tempura, and multiple Rainbow rolls, which were hands down our favorite. Everything from the edamame and miso soup to dessert was spot on and super fresh. Service was outstanding. Our server Bryce was running around like a madman but still took perfect care of us. Pro tip: do not call him Rice. He does not find that joke nearly as funny as I do. And the manager Bill was awesome, he checked on us multiple times and made sure we were having a great time. Bonus fact: Bill is married to one of an identical triplet, which is the coolest thing I've heard in a long time. The whole team seems genuinely happy and the vibe is on point. Clean space, great energy, live DJ dropping solid hits, and a cool open balcony. Bill is clearly doing a fantastic job turning things around and you can feel it in the atmosphere. We'll definitely be back. Thanks Bryce and Bill for an awesome night! read more

Massive downgrade. Say goodbye to the specialty vegetarian roll, and pretty much anything remotely plant-based. Parking is impossible, prices are high, and quality is average. It's just another soulless chain restaurant with its best days far behind it. Given all the other options for sushi nearby, from high-end to low-brow, I genuinely cannot imagine settling for this. read more

Cool atmosphere here! Great location near the Capitol building. Tasty gyoza and ramen . I really liked how they add extra chashu to the ramen compared to other restaurants. The sushi is the star of the show! The "ra"kin roll was fantastic! Creative flavors that work really well! Lots of creative options for a sushi lover! Our server was great and friendly. One area of growth is cleanliness. Our table was a little dirty from previous guests. Otherwise great experience! Check it out! read more

3.5 Stars It's not the highest quality sushi, but they have a nice outdoor patio, a trendy interior, and a solid happy hour. Our server was awesome - I wish we got his name because we loved his energy! I got the $6 California Roll, Spicy Salmon Roll and Yellowtail Nigiri. Calorie counts on the menu for those who are health conscious! read more

Stopped by RA Sushi for dinner and had a nice overall experience. We were seated immediately, and the staff was friendly and attentive the whole time. Parking is street-only, but we were able to find a paid spot nearby. Sushi can get pretty pricey here, so we were really glad we caught their happy hour. It made trying a bunch of things way more enjoyable. We ordered almost everything off the HH menu, and the value was great. My favorite roll of the night was the Viva Las Vegas roll, and my husband really enjoyed their sake, which was also a solid happy hour deal. Overall, a good spot for a casual sushi night, especially if you time it with happy hour. read more

Service... exceptional! Shout out to Trevor! Trevor made the experience so special. He was attentive, yet gave me space. Sushi was fresh and delicious! Highly recommend the seared selection. Fatty tuna not to be missed. Some people come to Texas for BBQ, others eat sushi! I'm the other! Manager Hector checked in frequently to ensure i was satisfied! All around a great experience! Beautiful patio views! Parking is steep. But pay the fees, a lot cheaper than getting towed or ticketed. read more

I got RA sushi takeout, they do late nights orders when you're feeling a late night sushi craving. The order was finished quickly. I think my favorite was the spicy crispy rice, it had good flavor with a different sauce on the side which enhanced the flavor. read more

Note: They do not validate parking (we parked in the garage across the street). We ordered a couple things off the happy hour menu. Everything was decent and we enjoyed ourselves. -Viva Las Vegas roll - Really yummy, some bites the cream cheese can be overpowering so if you don't believe in cream cheese in sushi then prob skip this one -Shrimp tempura roll - as expected -Spicy salmon and spicy yellowtail roll - salmon was better -Seared Yellowtail Nigiri - loved the Smokey taste Our server was attentive, service was quick, we were in and out within the hour. This isn't holy grail sushi but if you're looking to satiate a sushi craving this place will do the job. read more

So when me and my bf saw this placed it was given a 3.4, and honestly I think that's a pretty accurate rating. The service is meh! They tried but our waiter admitted that the waiter assigned to us an originally didn't wanna take the table, then they served us ragoons with no cream cheese, and they forgot one of our sushi rolls. They also only checked up on us once after being served our food and it was like 20 min afterwards. I also was never given soy sauce which you would assume they'd bring that out since it is a sushi restaurant or that they'd have it at the table. The only good thing about this place is the ambiance as in the aesthetic. Don't waste your money tho. read more

Great food. Service was friendly and attentive. Fun Party vibes! Loved that there was a DJ. Great for a party and big group.

Came here for my cousins birthday, nice aesthetic, great food. Mixed drinks were ordered, 2 were sent back and some food items were late to come out, server was super sweet and attentive, the manager came and offered apologies; hot sake and beer, brought my cousin ice cream and apple pie which was greatly appreciated. We were told there's been a huge reset in staff and they're still figuring things out, we didn't mind as we were properly helped and patient about it. If you want super good sushi and beer, this is the spot. Thank you so much to the manager, he got us as a group to do sake shots and completely changed the vibe. 9/10. I will definitely be back read more

Truly an Austin staple. This is my go to spot to brings friends from out of town. The patio/balcony view is gorgeous and the vibes are always great. We went at 3 pm on a Saturday which happened to be as soon as their happy hour began. I got the Tuna bento box for $19 and the servers & bartender were phenomenal. I asked for extra olives and as you can see from the photo, they were not stingy! The food is always delicious and the views are so worth it. Definitely recommend! read more

Overpriced sushi. I got the salmon avocado roll and salmon nigiri which were pretty good but a lot pricier than I expected. The egg rolls and edamame were pretty disappointing. Egg rolls tasted like they were from a freezer, and got soggy super fast. The edamame was swimming in this spicy soy sauce which made it way too salty and no longer addicting like edamame should be. I wouldn't choose here again. read more

My wife and I dined here last weekend on a Thursday night. The restaurant was not very busy at all considering ACL was about to begin on Friday. We sat outside on the patio and had a great view of the city buildings. Our server was fantastic! My wife and I shared the edamame and the shishito peppers. They both were good but the peppers were outstanding! We shared a sushi roll (Chile Ponzu Yellowtail Roll). The roll was delicious. Overall, great experience. Valet was $25. Probably could've found a garage that was close by. read more

Ordered pickup that estimated 20 minutes, waited inside the restaurant for over an hour after the 20 minutes for the original estimated wait time. Nobody came to check on me and I had to keep asking random employees who walked by. Nobody apologized and the time stamped on the receipt was 20 minutes prior to the server grabbing it so it was literally just sitting back there ready to go for 20 minutes. No apology, nobody said it was actually expected to take longer, nothing. Will not be ordering from here anymore which is sad because I live close and really like that it's open late. read more

Tanner and Victoria took real good care of us! Give these bartenders a raise please. Happy hour hits. But the bartenders made it better!

Ambience is great. Not very busy while we were there. The bartender was very friendly and knowledgeable with the drink menu. The drink he suggested was delicious. It's called the Shisho Naughty.m The sushi roll was just okay but the presentation was beautiful. The potstickers were flavorful and fresh. The Ramen was good not as rich as I like but tasty. The colossal shrimp was a little tough, maybe a bit over cooked. The ice cream mochi was SO good and a nice treat after dinner. read more

Really like RA Sushi, crazy cool vibe in this place. Great food. Excellent service by nice folks. Awesome up on the roof open air. Tons of music and a loaded bar. Menu has many options, lots of apps, both raw and cooked main courses. Downtown Austin so parking is what it is. It is expensive, but I believe it is worth it. I'll be back! read more

I was pleasantly surprised when I received a $20 coupon for my half birthday. I decided to take advantage of it and try the restaurant, since I love sushi! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, as they were getting ready for Valentine's Day. Pink and red balloons, along with hanging heart decorations, made perfect backdrops for couples who will be soon celebrating there. Since it was so cold outside, I decided to order the Spicy Shrimp Soup: shrimp simmered in a spicy miso broth with tofu, green onions, mushrooms and spinach. My first spoonful seemed so spicy that I almost choked. But I quickly got used to it and savored the rest. There was a generous number of shrimp, and the vegetables balanced out the taste and texture. It was amazing, and well worth the $11.50. Surrounding the iron soup bowl were 4 pieces of rice fried to perfection, making a beautiful presentation. I also ordered the "aburi," or torched sushi. I had never heard of this method of preparation, so I asked the server, Jedediah, for his advice. He highly recommended the yellowtail, and I'm glad I trusted his opinion....it was delicious and it melted in my mouth! I was very impressed with the quality of the food, and pleased that I was able to keep within the $20 amount of my coupon. Of course, I gave Jebediah a generous tip for his excellent service. read more

I've been here many times, but last night I brought my boyfriend for his birthday and it was the best experience! We opted for outdoor seating and got a nice table along the edge of the patio looking out at the city. The DJ was such a fun aspect of the night, really adding to the bday celebration! As for the food, it was so flavorful & every dish complimented the other - making mixing & matching super easy. We ordered Chili Ponzu Yellowtail, Spicy Crispy Rice, & Ultimate Shrimp Tempura Roll to start along with a Passionfruit Margarita & Lycheetini. We closed out with Ra-Ra Shrimp & Nutty Grilled Salad with chicken. Our favorite was the Chili Ponzu Yellowtail - which our waiter Jonathan also recommended as a sushi roll! Major shoutout to the general manager Bill who came to our table and wished my boyfriend happy birthday, along with a complimentary dessert. His energy made our night & he even offered to take photos of us to commemorate the night. We can't wait to come back!! read more

First time I have been disappointed with RA Sushi. It is typically a wonderful experience. I ordered sushi, a roll and the Mango Ceviche. The latter was my disappointment. The dish was more of a cold mango soup than ceviche. Not sure if they ran out of the seafood in the dish. We arrived late at night. So sad... read more

RA sushi is one of my go-to spots downtown for sushi! They have a huge menu with an excellent selection of sushi rolls that are always fresh and delicious. We've tried the Chili Ponzu Yellowtail Roll, the Crazy Monkey roll (my personal favorite), the viva Las Vegas roll (excellent presentation), the salmon sashimi, the mango shrimp roll, the tuna hand roll, the pineapple cheese wontons (delicious), the RA RA shrimp (spicy!), and the chili ponzu yellowtail. I've also tried the sake flight, which is good if you like sweet sake, if you don't like sweet drinks I'd skip it! I've really enjoyed everything I've had to eat here and love the happy hour and birthday vouchers! I noticed the last time we came here the salmon sashimi was a much smaller portion than normal so hope they bring back the larger pieces because that's something I really enjoyed here. The service is fantastic, food comes out quickly, and the ambiance is really nice and spacious. I've never had trouble getting a table here. I definitely recommend this spot! read more

Service has gone downhill. Fun restaurant in a great location. They almost always have great cocktail specials. The food this trip was below their usual standards. The yakisoba chicken was dry and cold. The poke bowl was good though The service was a mess. Our waitress disappeared for long periods of time. They served my wife her entree, then brought the appetizer. 20 min later I got my entree. At best I'd give them a C- Better options close by. read more

This place is really cute. I have to say they have a great happy hour, so if you can make it definitely go. On the busy weekends definitely try and make a reservation. I came here because they gave me a $20 birthday card from them. I've always loved the food so it was great to have this little discount as well. I tried their Uni for the first time and I have to say it was really good. I love getting the vegetable tempura there. It's one of my favorite appetizers. And the sushi roll we got was really nice. It had a crab shrimp and some spicy tuna and cream cheese really delicious. I don't think I've ever ordered anything here that I don't fully like. I will say the calamari was OK. It was interesting to see the long strip like that and was a little mushy for my taste. Other than that, they have a great bar selection and the staff is so nice and very tentative and making sure that we were comfortable and ordered stuff that we liked. read more

Worst restaurant experience of my life. Booked a reservation for 8 PM on Valentine's Day three weeks in advance. Showed up at eight to at least 10 other couples all waiting for their reservation and was told we would have to wait for our table to be ready for 30 minutes and that they would text us when our table was ready. An hour and a half later, we never received a text and was only sat because we went back to the hostess to ask why our table was not ready. We ordered everything as soon as the waiter came by because we heard the kitchen was backed up and have been waiting an hour and a half for dinner. Ordered miso soup and edamame appetizer, a sashimi platter, and two rolls. The miso soup came out in a plastic to go cup. The edamame arrived after the sashimi. The sashimi platter was supposed to come with a salad that never arrived. We never received either of our rolls. They brought us someone else's role and told us to just eat it because it's all they had. Absolute worst experience of my entire life and this is not even the first time that they have done this to people. Never go here! read more

RA Sushi provides a vibrant ambience with their decorative indoor and extensive outdoor rooftop (2nd floor) with pleasant cityscape. On this Sunday afternoon, Ra was practically empty, so we got our choice of seating outside. The happy hour menu was decent, although looked more extensive on previous Yelp posts (I wanted to see the Takoyaki). The edamame & yellowtail nigiri were standard quality appetizers. || The crazy monkey & chili ponzu yellowtail rolls looked the same, and, although good, tasted very similar for me. || The filet mignon skewers were very tasty. Understandably due to their varying sized steaks, some were medium well while others were medium rare, if that matters when you go! || The coconut crème brûlée was a very tasty & light dessert. Service was acceptable. Staff were nice. read more

Went to RA Sushi in Austin and had such a good time. I got a roll that literally came out on fire--you had to blow it out before eating. Super fun and honestly tasted amazing too. it's definitely on the expensive side, but the quality was there and everything I tried was really fresh and flavorful. Cool vibe, good service, and a fun place if you're down to spend a little more for a great sushi night read more
