I love this place, the food is great and our server Ayman was extremely kind and hospitable.

Had a quick lunch. Sushi was very good. Hayden at the bar was great! Very personable and responsive. Good service and good food.

Hayden was awesome best bartender waiting on us without any reservations. Was fast with refilling waters sake, and the food. Food was excellent as well. read more

I ordered some takeout from here two days ago. I got the Filet Mignon with Lobster ($55.50) with some ginger sauce ($2). The lobster was small and not particularly flavorful, but it was a full lobster. The steak was delicious. I also got a Philadelphia Roll ($14). It came with no ginger or wasabi. It was good, but I missed the accoutrements. (The online menu says you can order "extra" ginger and wasabi for $1 each, which implies that you will get the regular amount for free. Not so.) I also got Spicy Shrimp Soup ($13.50) and Pork Gyoza Potstickers ($13). Both were good, especially the soup. My order was ready when it was supposed to be and was correctly filled. (I ordered on the restaurant's website.) This is a somewhat fancy Foothills place, so the prices are high but not outrageous. read more

Not great. Sadly, I chose this place based on the reviews and the photos. The food quality reminded me of PF Chang's, which has gone downhill substantially in the last few years. The food tasted cheap. The service was just as disappointing. We had a reservation. We asked to sit on the patio. The hostess said she would follow us out with menus. She did not. We sat for over 20 minutes then had to ask three people for a menu. Our server was pretty absent as well. He was nice, though. The patio also felt dirty. There was blowing trash. We didn't really spend time inside, so I cannot comment on the cleanliness of the interior. Overall, this was a disappointing experience. read more

Food quality was very poor. Sushi wasn't quality, wings were served lukewarm/room temp, edamame tasted chalky, etc. I eat sushi a lot and this was a bad experience. One that goes beyond just management and falls in the hands of whoever owns the place. Server was a nice guy at least. read more

Disappointed overall. This was supposed to be a simple family birthday dinner. Sushi won the dinner spinner, and Ra Sushi was the highest-rated place nearby, so we gave it a shot. Service was slow. It was busy, but not so busy that the delays made sense. Food took a long time to arrive, and we were given free miso soup because of the wait, which I appreciate, but it did not really make up for the experience. I ordered an Old Fashioned and had to ask for it three times. What I was finally served was warm, watered-down whiskey with an orange. No bourbon, no bitters, no ice. When they "remade" it, they simply poured it over ice and added a cherry, which still was not close to an Old Fashioned. The ambiance was about what you would expect, maybe even good, but it was overshadowed by the rest of the experience. $180 for the night broke down to roughly $35 worth of food, a $5 drink, and about $140 for the experience, which was not worth it. read more

Our annual trip to La Encantada shopping mall also includes a visit to RA. Our service was on point and the place was somewhat busy for lunch. Some spring breaks have started in the city. We dined indoors and it was cozy, with great background music on. Some of their dishes need to be replaced as they show worn spots and stains. Overall our visit was great. Our food was terrific, but my salmon bowl was just okay. The salmon was overcooked and I wish it had more veggies. Compared to my daughter's poke bowl which looked amazing and she said it was very good. Our highlight was the sushi. So delicious! We loved it! read more

Sitting outdoors w the weather so perfect. We have 3 children, no children menu , so prepare to pay for an adult plate . Nothing Al La cart? . So we make up the kids plates, Very sm portions of meats from chicken. /beef. I got spicy chicken fried rice. N the chicken was minced u couldn't see it or much taste it., shrimp tempura is always good. My daughter had chicken ramen soup. Not much flavor of chicken, like it's been precut n refrozen, broth was tasty. Beef looked greyish on my sons plate n said well i guess it's no longer my favorite place to go . Our server was very sweet , her name is Alianna . Overall we enjoyed ourselves as a family outing. read more

This was disappointing. I was in the mood for cold, fresh sushi on a hot summer day and ended up having such a poor experience. We were seated quick but it took a while to even get water. We then waited a good 15 minutes or so to get our orders taken. Their AC was broken (or non-existent?) and their fans only blew on a few tables so we were both hot and parched. Also I get that it's a "modern" Japanese restaurant but I found the artwork of Asian women along the walls offensive. My family ordered different bento boxes, which they said were just okay. The fish was definitely fishy though. My chirashi poke bowl was 80% cucumbers/edamame and 20% fish, and both the rice and chirashi were room temperature, so was not a pleasant experience. read more

Came here for lunch on a Sunday and sat at the bar. The open bar window is such a vibe, I enjoyed an incredible cocktail, delicious apps, and the best waygu I've had at a sushi place.

My family went there to celebrate my daughter's college graduation. We had a reservation, but at first they said we were going to have to wait an hour. And then they found our reservation. Everybody's food came out at different times. Several of the tables near us got their food before us, even though we were there first. My daughter, the person of honor, got her food last. It took an hour and a half for her to get her sushi. This was after waiting for half an hour just to order. We had to ask multiple times for things like water, soup, salad, miso, ginger, soy sauce. We ended up having to get several of our entrees to go because they took too long. The chicken teriyaki was way over cooked. The chicken was dry and rubbery. The sushi was ok but not with the price tag. They comped 1 of the rolls. They promised to comp the dessert and one other roll but they didn't. There was no manager to complain to because the only general manager was bussing tables and washing dishes. The waiter was training to be a manager so he was acting as manager that night. I don't blame the waiter. It was the kitchen's fault for the food not being ready. However, some of the blame has to land on whoever was supposed to be management that night. It was highly disappointing, especially for a special occasion. read more

Take into account I drove from Phoenix too try their food so this experience was not acceptable I Waited between 20-30 minutes for someone to take our order no one came. A waitress was passing by I called too her to try and grab her attention too take our order she walked right past me and ignored me. I still waited like 2-3 minutes i thought maybe she was busy and would come back never came not a single waiter or waitress came too take our order they sat us down gave us our menu saw us waiting and ignored us. I told the manager seemed like he could care less I just left with my party 6 there never was any intention of them to take our order. As soon as we left not a minute passed and they were already picking up the utensils we unfolded at our table. read more

I would give negative star if I could. Yuck!!! Just hoping we don't get food poisoning! The meal was overpriced, looked horrible and tasted worse. We got it to go and was so excited to have sushi until we opened the bag and saw this. The rolls had no flavor and looked like they came from Safeway. Our bill was $130 for this. If you want good sushi do not go here! read more

Ambience is great. And the staff is fabulous even when they're really busy they watch out for each other and make sure your service is taken care of. The UVA volleyball team came in slightly after us with 25 people and then the lunch crowd hit. Our food came out promptly still and was hot and delicious. We had the two bento boxes which were fantastic.! There was a slight lagging being able to pay, but we completely understood. The manager is fabulous and make sure everyone is taken care of. read more

My husband and I dined here about two weeks ago. It was a pleasant surprise to find that they had a special menu for guests with food sensitivities. We started with a couple of their Old Fashioned's made with Japanese whiskey and Japanese yuzu bitters. It was a nice twist on a classic cocktail. We had MISO SOUP, UCHI NO SALAD (mine gluten free and his from the regular menu) and for our entrees, I had the NIGIRI ASSORTMENT and he had the SASHIMI ASSORTMENT. Everything was enjoyable, albeit a bit pricey for what felt like a fairly casual place. The service was excellent. It rained that evening, so perhaps that's why there was a small, but steady crowd. Overall, we had a good experience and agreed it was a great choice. The four stars are for the outstanding service. read more

Came here to use my birthday coupon and honestly cant wait to go back! The happy hour menu is not to be missed! I ordered the salmon roll and a cucumber Collins drink from the happy hour menu and placed an order for the nigiri assortment from the lunch menu. Everything was so delicious. I love seafood but im always weary as well and can say it was very fresh and the price point really makes you want to come back. My waiter was Jamal and he was great he made sure everything was going well and it was! I had a great view of the mountains and some yummy sushi to enjoy it with. read more

We arrived at our reservation time of 6pm. We were seated in the high top bar area by a pleasant hostess. We sat and we're greeted right away by our server, then the service got bad. We ordered 2 drinks from bar and some food . Happy Hour menu was open so we took advantage of that. It took at least 15 min to even get water. The drinks were awful. I ordered a Paloma and not sure what I actually got. The food was good . Vegas roll, RARA shrimp and California roll was good. When we were waiting for our check my husband stood up and the lady at the bar (who was not our server) saw him standing there for a few minutes and literally walks right by him and says nothing. She was not friendly or helpful. Her drinks not so good either. Needless to say the restaurant was empty and the service was bad!! Do Better RA! read more

It was Christmas Eve and we wanted a special meal without a long wait. We were seated immediately and offered their special Christmas menu. I started with hot green tea and then ordered a sushi roll and shared a sushi special with my partner. Everything was delicious! I wanted to lick the plates clean.

The RA Sushi Bar is located near the 'La Encantada' outdoor shopping centre. It wasn't as packed as I expected it to be. There were many tables- outside & inside- unoccupied, and I was seated at one of the best ones, being the booth area. The waiter I had was very nice and patient as I needed extra time to decide on what to order. I chose the Pork Gyoza for my starter and the Nutty Grilled Salad with Salmon, along with a Dragon Bite cocktail. Everything was sooo good, you should've seen me wolf down that salad! The gyoza was a little lacking in flavor; I felt like it was missing something that I tasted in other versions I've had in the past. But that certainly isn't enough to take away any stars, as overall this place was fantastic! I'd be happy to come here again. read more

Absolutely disappointed!! The first time I visited, I waited an hour just to place my order and another hour for the food to arrive. The waitress was incredibly rude, and to top it off, she added an unauthorized tip to my bill--such a huge red flag!! I gave the place two more chances, hoping it was just a bad day, but the service stayed subpar and the food was nothing special. The only thing I somewhat enjoyed were the appetizers. Unfortunately, I won't be going back and wouldn't recommend this place at all. read more

RA Sushi is my go-to spot in Tucson when I'm craving fresh, creative sushi in a fun, upbeat atmosphere. I love their signature rolls--especially the Viva Las Vegas Roll and the RA'ckin Shrimp--both packed with flavor and perfect balance. The presentation is always on point, and the sushi chefs clearly take pride in their craft. I also appreciate that there are plenty of options beyond sushi; the Black Pepper Sirloin Steak is surprisingly hearty and flavorful if you're looking for something different. The vibe here is energetic without being overwhelming, with great music and a sleek, modern decor that makes it perfect for a night out with friends or a casual dinner. The happy hour is one of the best in town--super affordable and with solid portions. I love sitting at the sushi bar to watch the chefs in action. Service is consistently friendly and attentive, and the cocktails (especially the Blushing Geisha) are dangerously good. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Tucson!

I was in RA recently due to work travel. I happen to be in during happy hour so shaving a few bucks off the meal is welcome. I tried the crispy spicy tuna app and the spicy tuna roll. Both were decent in its own way. I like the prep on the tuna that was on the crispy rice app more. I can taste they use sesame oil as one of the ingredients. It was nice because I was in before the busy dinner rush and close to the hotel I was staying at. Id eat there again in a pinch. I cannot imagine paying more than the happy hour prices though. It's decent but kind of over priced compared to quality. I've had much better and a lower cost. Service was okay but the waiter was really shy or nervous. He forgot to put in half my order and had a gap between plates. It kind of annoys me when servers say confirmation things like "no problem" or something when you put in your order. I know we are conditioned to do that in general but we need to come up with different language. Because my snarky mental response is "I hope it isn't a problem because why am I eating out then?" I'm in customer service so im acutely aware of those things and try and highlight them to my team when I hear them. Anyways besides that it was decent and better than fast food junk on the road. Apparently they have locations all over the map so I'll have to keep my eyes peeled while I am on the road. read more

This place was packed for Tuesday lunch, but the service was so quick you wouldn't even realize! Our server was so sweet and checked up on us the perfect amount! We highly recommend the Ra'ckin Roll for a unique sushi experience. The ambiance was warm and welcoming and overall just very fun!

My husband and I have been going to Ra for nearly a decade, and I'd been going with friends and family for years before that. What keeps us coming back is the quality of the fish, the consistency of the menu, the beautiful patio view, and the awesome birthday and half-birthday coupons they offer. Service is usually quick and friendly. We love the happy hour menu and always get the salmon nigiri, spicy tuna roll, rainbow roll, salmon avocado sashimi, or Las Vegas roll. We also love the poke bowls, ramen, and fried rice. We've even taken a sushi making class here, and that was a really fun experience with sake pairings. This is one of our go-to date night spots! read more

No seasoning on food. Rice was not fried when I ordered the hibachi. Chicken was so dry and hard I couldn't chew it. Wings were decent , but again lacked flavor because they didn't put seasoning on them. Same with the breaded lobster. The rice was mushy and steamed. All around we ended up paying and leaving and going to another restaurant. Tried drowning the food in soy sauce and seracha and it didn't help. read more

Hayden at the bar is amazing! He was amazing at describing drinks and food, quick and efficient, and provided a phenomenal dinning experience. read more

Wow, delicious! A beautiful day to sit on the patio. Excellent service. We had the lobster dynamite roll and the lobster shrimp roll. Awesome! I wish I had taken a picture of the lobster dynamite roll, very different presentation than I've seen before, it was already laid out with sort of a sauce over it and chopped scallops on it a bit spicy but absolutely delicious. We're coming here again! read more

RA Sushi is the kind of place that makes you question why you ever eat anywhere else. The sushi? Top-tier. Fresh, flavorful, and built with intention. Every roll tastes like it was assembled by someone who actually cares about your happiness. The fish is high quality, the rice is on point, and the presentation makes you pause for a picture before you inhale it. Now let's talk about the garlic edamame... because yes, it deserves its own paragraph. Warm, salty, drenched in garlicky magic. I could live off this alone and die satisfied. And the service? Elite. Attentive without hovering, fast without rushing, and genuinely friendly. The kind of service that makes you feel like a regular even if it's your first visit. Drinks refilled, food timed perfectly, and zero "where did our server go?" moments. Between the sushi quality, the iconic edamame, and the fantastic service, RA Sushi isn't just a meal, it's a lifestyle choice. I will be back. Repeatedly. With stretchy pants. read more

Came in last week because I was craving sushi and Ra is near my house. Waited at the front entrance to be seated. Four people walked by, not one acknowledged me. Told myself I'd wait 5 minutes tops and another person walked by without saying they'd be with me soon or even hello so I left. I haven't eaten at Ra in a long time because it's not my favorite but it's convenient. When you can't even get convenience- why go? read more

Really solid happy hour spot! I came in on a Wednesday and sat at the bar for the 3-6pm happy hour. I ordered the edamame, spring rolls, calamari roll, and the Las Vegas roll. The spring rolls were a favorite--crispy and delicious with that spicy mustard sauce. The calamari roll was also super flavorful and a fun change from the usual. Overall, the happy hour menu has great options at good prices. Service was friendly and the vibe was relaxed.

My boss and I went to lunch, his attempt to cheer me up after the election debauchery! He picked Ra and I didn't object. Took a while to be seated as the hostess was on the phone when we entered but we finally got a table. Blythe was our server and she was a peach. I ordered the Spicy Chili Garlic Ramen and I didn't think it was that spicy when I ate it but my lips are burning an hour later lol. It was also flavorful but the broth was thick. I also had the rainbow roll and it was decent. The place was pretty busy for lunch, large party at one table, folks at the sushi bar and all the booths behind me were full but it wasn't loud. read more
