    Memorial weekend special
    Liezel A.

    We went on Sunday night during the memorial weekend. The restaurant is clean and there's lots of parking. There's seats inside and outside. Also, there's a bar location. Our waiter Bryan did an awesome job serving our big party of 6. Bryan provides us with awesome customer services. Because it was the memorial weekend they had a special for military and veteran. That's plus for the veteran. I ordered the starter the scallops dynamite and I got the yakisoba for free because of the special. Thank you for offering a great promo. Don't forget on Sunday there's happy hour. I will be back and try more other sushi.

    Mermaid's Brew!! Excellent!
    Mike D.

    From my many visits to RA Sushi locations around the country (and other locations in the Valley), I can confidently say that RA isn't the type of place where you typically get a five-star meal and experience. BUT... this was the type of experience that will make me come back to RA! We sat outside. It was a toasty day, but the sun was setting and it had began to cool off. I appreciate that they have misters on the patio... but it ended up being surprisingly cold out there. So we grabbed some jackets and that helped. I had received an e-mail from RA that was advertising their new Cold Water Lobster Fried Rice. That got me in the door... and it was pretty awesome! Tons of flavor and more lobster than I was expecting! I also especially loved that they could make their fried rice dishes gluten-free - yay! And being a confident man, I don't mind ordering a drink that sounds a bit more "girly"... like the Mermaid's Brew. So I ordered that and... WOW, it was EXCELLENT! So I ordered a second one! Overall rating: ****FOUR STARS**** Gluten-free rating: ****FOUR STARS****

    Crunchy Shrimp Roll
    Joe R.

    RA always provides a decent experience, but nothing I would call exceptional. Our waitress, however, was genuinely one of the kindest servers I've ever had. She was frequently checking in, and took the time to chat with us and make us feel welcome. The service here really stood out for going above and beyond. The food itself was solid, but not what I'd consider great, especially given the prices compared to other sushi spots I personally prefer. The caveat to this is that the portion sizes are pretty reasonable.

    Blushing geisha!
    Kira D.

    Stopped in for some crab fried rice, but unfortunately, it was just not good. Flavors were all wrong. It actually tasted weird. That's my best description. My blushing geisha cocktail was ok and service was pretty good, hence the 3 star review, but can't say I'll be back to this Ra or any other Ra anytime soon!

    Arpita G.

    Loved the food and ambience! Service was a little slow to start and we waited 20 min before flagging someone down to serve our table, but once we got out server it was a great experience. The food came out quickly, it was so fresh and some of the best of this cuisine I've had. Definitely worth stepping in and trying :)

    We come to Ra from time to time for a quick lunch. I do love the lunch options here. My husband and I love the bento boxes.the server was great and prompt. Pricing is unbeatable for casual lunch. Ambiance is okay. This location is a bit old and needs refreshed but is always clean.

    RACKIN ROLL
    Katiusca C.

    I've been to a lot of sushi restaurants, but RA is definitely one of my favorites. Everything is made to order, so you're always getting it fresh. If you go, you have to try the RAckin' Roll it's super crunchy, flavorful, and easily one of the best things on the menu. I also tried some of my mom's ramen, which didn't impress me. (not flavorful) The hibachi plates are good but not worth $45 for just rice and meat. The service was fine -- nothing to complain about, but nothing that really stood out either. They have great happy hour deals so I'd definitely recommend going then to sample a few different rolls or drinks.

    Sangria and Miso Soup
    Zuriel L.

    LOVEEEEEE! Thanks to the bartender Brandon for treating me well and taking care of me! Sangria was delicious and sushi was so good. I didn't take pictures of my salmon nigiri or Las Vegas roll. But it's because I was so hungry and scarfed it down omg. The restaurant is open and big the theme is red and asian. Fitting for the vibe. This RA is nice, I'd come here again :-)

    CHASHU RAMEN
    Hailey R.

    3.5 but rounding up because of the service. Stopped in on a Monday with a friend and was pleasantly surprised to see that it was happy hour all day. The menu is extensive and offers items ranging from hibachi to sushi and more. I ordered a HH California roll, chashu ramen, and we split the chili ponzu yellowtail roll. The yellowtail roll was definitely my favorite although I did feel like it could use a bit more yellowtail on top. The California roll was fine and the ramen was better than I was expecting. While it wasn't the best I've ever had, the noodles and egg were great and the pork and broth were decent. I usually avoid RA Sushi because it's on the more expensive side for average sushi. The area where I was seated wasn't super clean with trash under the table. However, service was very good and I did enjoy my food, it was just on the pricier side for the quality. I'd definitely come back on a Monday again for happy hour!

    Great sevice from the bartender, absolute miss on the deli meat thin sliced ahi tuna appetizer... for $16 with ice tea and tip i walked out hungry and mad at my lunch! $24 was the final total I have decided this unimpressive "upscale" sushi bar is no longer where either would like to spend my money or hungry lunches...

    FILET MIGNON & COLOSSAL SHRIMP
    Mel Y.

    3 stars because they celebrate Veterans! The food took over an hour so definitely don't arrive super hungry. The person who was assigned to our table was great despite the wait. She apologized several times and we knew this was absolutely not her fault and tipped her the largest amount possible on the card reader device since she had an amazing attitude despite dealing with many frustrated tables. The food is subpar at best. The meal below is the filet mignon and shrimp which comes to about 56$ with tax. I would probably have paid 10$ max due to the quality and quantity of meat. They do have a decent happy hour which might be worth the price!

    Elicia N.

    Stopped by here to enjoy lunch and service by Bartender Ebonee! Exceptional! I ordered the filet mignon (rare) and lobster entree for lunch. Such a fun choice. Loved getting to try the onion soup, which she went out of her way to get me! The Lobster was perfectly prepared and the veggies were great. The steak was a little overdone and the sauce is a little bit thicker than I normally like. I'll probably will stick to Sushi next time, but it was so fun to try this. The wagu looked so good! Maybe next time! So generous and lovely to see Ra generously honoring first responders and teachers! Thank you! I give this place a five star just based off the exceptional service alone and overall ambience.

    This was my first visit to this location. I ordered the Reuben special and it was great. I had a…read moreside salad, though I should have probably gotten French fries to be consistent with how I've eaten Reubens in the past. But, my wife had fries that I could steal and I appreciate having a salad option. The little side salad had a nice bitterness complemented by the slight sourness of the dressing. The meat was flavorful and sliced perfectly while the bread was toasty enough to stay together long enough to hold in all that juiciness. Our server was attentive and friendly and I'll happily go back to try some menu staples ... unless the next special demands my attention like that Reuben did.

The queso was rich without being too heavy, and the mustard added a nice contrast. For my meal, I had the Caesar salad topped with a bistro steak cooked a perfect medium rare. The romaine was crisp, the garlic-anchovy dressing bold, and the garlic croutons and parmesan tied everything together. The steak was tender, flavorful, and elevated the salad. At the table, we also ordered the cheesesteak with Angus beef, roasted peppers and onions, Havarti cheese, and garlic aioli served on a baguette, with sweet potato fries. The sandwich was hearty and satisfying, and the fries were really good The wagyu burger was another standout--topped bacon, Gruyère and smoky blue cheese, caramelized onions, tomato jam, and garlic aioli on a pub bun. The beef and bacon were fabulous and the fries cooked to perfection Jake, our server, was terrific--attentive, friendly, and helped make the whole experience even better. We finished with the butterscotch bread pudding topped with vanilla gelato and caramel sauce, which was the perfect ending--warm, comforting, and just the right amount of sweetness Overall, a great patio dining experience with flavorful dishes, excellent service, and plenty of variety.

We came in with our family and three kids and sat on the patio since we were a larger group. After eating, our kids were sitting in chairs near our table, chatting and moving around a bit. They weren't being loud or disruptive, but a nearby a couple clearly seemed upset. The woman was shaking her head and saying to the waitress "this isn't okay to be doing while people are eating", pointing toward our kids. Once I realized this, I immediately called my kids back over and had them sit with us, and I even let her know that if something was bothering her, she could've told us and I would have addressed it right away. The couple chose to ignore us and left shortly after. The manager then came out and reassured us that Lucky Lou's is a family-friendly restaurant and that our kids were absolutely fine. That meant a lot to us and really showed how supportive and understanding the staff is. I also hope one day that couple realizes how hard it is to keep a 4-, 6-, and 8-year-old sitting at a table for more than 30 minutes without shoving an iPad in front of them. On top of that, the service was excellent, the atmosphere was welcoming, and I honestly had the best burger and tater tots of my life. We'll definitely be back--thank you for creating such a kid-friendly and enjoyable place for families!

The menu online looks promising, and it's very close to our home, so we decided to give it a try. This place is very bright and fresh looking, for lack of a better description. There's a bar, and a really great mural. There's an entire wall of banqettes, and some tables in the second room which is divided only by a half wall. There are some walls which I thought had exposed brick, but later noticed were wall boards. Either way, I love the look. We were seated right away and the nicest server came over. He really seems to love the restaurant and love the food, which is always a plus in my book. The boys each got a beer, and I got the Italian margarita. It was a sweet drink that kind of tasted like an Amaretto Sour, which makes sense since there's Amaretto in it. I liked it. They brought gigantic rolls with butter to the table. I really liked it because most places serve sourdough bread, and I don't really like sourdough bread. These large white rolls were yummy. I wasn't very hungry so I just ordered two meatballs, but I asked if I could have the meat sauce instead of the marinara that it usually comes with. Our server said there would be no problem with that, and there wasn't. Hubby got the spaghetti and meatballs, and son got eggplant parmesan. All of it was delicious and I give kudos for a really yummy meat sauce. For me, the meat sauce can make or break an Italian restaurant. They seem to do a pretty brisk take out business, and there were quite a few people by the time we left. I would love to come back and try the pizza, because pizzas that we saw coming out looked fantastic.

Always a lot of people there so it makes you want to be there. Restaurant wise they have really basic offerings. Places you can find in Mesa, and Tempe, and Scottsdale. Now.... What truly makes Downtown Gilbert special are the small shops that are hidden away from the "main strip". One of those places is Clever Koi. Hidden in the Parking lot space behind Shaq's Chicken spot is a small strip of shops. A book store, smoothie place, and my favorite Clever Koi. Our family has very different tastes when we move from one member to the next. So finding places that we all like gets tricky. Clever Koi makes that easy because we honestly have yet to run into something we don't like. Let's start with our favorite starter. The steamed buns (giggity). The pork belly is hands down phenomenal. An amazing bite that literally makes you want more and more. The lazy fries are just that, again pork belly is included, but that garlic aioli is what drives this dish. The tai salad is obviously classic. The short rib dumplings literally make you close your eyes and just say "Mmmmmm". My middle child is the hardest pallet to please at any restaurant as he only eats certain things, but the Chicken Katsu sandwich here is his second favorite chicken sandwich in all this world. The first time he ate it he spent the whole ride home raving about it. Mind you, we live in San Tan, so not a short ride. The shaking beef is always good. It has this firey kick that brings the heat upfront but does not linger. You cannot forget about the fried rice here. Rice is one of my weaknesses in life second only to pizza. Fried rice ranks right up there with my top favorite ways to eat rice and this ranks right up there with my favorite fried rice places. The main reason we come here is because of the noodles. Ramen, ramen, ramen. When you think of Ramen, I assure you this is what you are thinking of. The broth is oh so savory and reigns in the fresh veggies and proteins to meld them with the noodles for a flavor punch each time you have a mouthful. They have great drinks here as well, or so I've been told by the other adults I come here with. I always just get a sake and Sapporo so... LOL The service is always good here and we somehow always manage to miss the lunch or dinner rush which is awesome. All in all... this is by far my favorite dining spot in downtown Gilbert. Great food, great drinks, great service, great atmosphere, in the middle of a great little square. A must eat for me.

The crunchiness from the cold greens, warm Brussels Sprouts, soft & sweet Caramelized Onions & Sweet Potatoes, plus the creaminess of the Avocados was such a great medley! I think I need to replicate this at home! Very creative & healthy! My cousin & friend both got burgers, one topped with mushrooms & one with a lettuce wrap sub, Zucchini & Sweet Potato Fries. The seating is very comfortable with the cushioned seats & booths & the restaurant is very bright & airy with lots of windows & high ceilings. If you have to use the restroom, it's located outside & will give you a passcode. Highly recommend this place!

    We visited Sotol on a Saturday night around 6:30, so I was shocked when we were sat right away!…read more We each ordered a drink (I got a margarita... it was pretty good - pricey drinks at $15-$20 each). The drinks were delivered quickly, and our server was very accommodating and kind. The views of Gilbert are beautiful - bring your sunglasses if you can. I forgot mine and it was bright before sun-down! :-)

    On a Saturday night after grabbing some ice cream at Topo, we stopped by Sotol Modern Cocktail…read moreKitchen for a nightcap. Located in downtown Gilbert, Sotol is a rooftop bar and restaurant. I love a good rooftop and the weather was perfect. While they don't have a parking lot, free parking is available on the street and in the various surface lots and garages in the area. Ambiance (4.5/5): It's tough to beat a rooftop. Here you'll have nice views of downtown Gilbert, including the historic Gilbert water tower (which lights up at night). It's not a huge restaurant/bar, probably 50 seats or so. A good number of tables and then 15 seats or so at the bar. We sat at the bar. There's a pretty nice mural on one end too. Service (4/5): A little slow to start out with and to close out, but overall, friendly. We found one of the last four remaining seats at the bar. If not for that, there would have been a wait. One drink and then we made our way. Overall, about average. Food (N/A): I was on a liquid diet for this visit but they do have a full menu. Drinks (4/5): Interesting craft cocktail list. The first one on the list is a Sotol cocktail. If you've never had Sotol, it's a Mexican spirit. Not tequila and not mezcal, but somewhat similar to mezcal and it does have a bit of a smoky flavor. The Sotol So Good has sotol, butterfly pea, coconut rum, pineapple, lime, and orgeat. It's purple so it makes an impression. It packs a punch too. If you're looking for a cool spot to grab some food and drinks in the heart of downtown Gilbert, when the weather is nice, Sotol is a great choice!

    Maeva has been on my list for a while now, and I'm glad I had the opportunity to check it out. I…read morereally enjoyed the artsy aesthetic here. My friends and I had a reservation for Sunday morning but it didn't seem super busy when I arrived. Ollie was our waiter. I ordered the Crème Floret Latte drink which was good, the lavender on top was a nice touch. One of my friends ordered the Grand Torino and it was pretty. Despite it not being very busy, the drinks took a while to come out. I guess there was an issue with the espresso machine? For food I tried the Maeva BEC which was delicious! I would recommend that. Overall a good experience.

It was not too busy - most were sitting on the patio enjoying the nice weather or in line at the coffee counter. I got a table for two right by a window. The interior looks modern chic, and has many windows so a lot of natural light was shining through. A server got my drink order shortly after being seated, then my friend arrived, but the server had disappeared for a while. It wasn't super busy, so I'm not sure what the hold-up was. I got the Matcha Strawberry off of their Signature Drinks menu, which tasted fresh and delicious. My friend started with a slice of Banana Choc Espresso Loaf - I tried a bite and it was dense with good flavor, especially the Valrhona chocolate. For brunch I got the Maeva "BEC" (bacon, egg, & cheese sandwich), and my friend got the Treg's Breakfast (eggs, bacon, and sourdough). The shape of the egg in my sandwich was like a square block and unexpected, but it still tasted good. The egg, cheese, pickled peppers, and chili mayo paired nicely together with the milk bun. My friend enjoyed her food as well. I would come back and try some other menu items and dinner.

Our server was incredibly patient and took the time to explain everything in detail, which really put my husband (who has celiac) at ease. Almost the entire menu can be made gluten-free--only two items couldn't--which is such a huge plus. I had the Bravocado toast with a side of the "bacon but different," and my husband ordered the Spuds Bowl along with the cinnamon bacon pancake--everything was SO good. Great food, great service, and a super accommodating experience. We'll definitely be back!

    We've been going to Snooze since before they existed in Arizona. We started going in San Diego and…read morewere thrilled when they opened in the Valley. Sadly, we've noticed a decline and lack of quality control at the Gilbert location. We went on Memorial Day for an afternoon breakfast. We started by ordering Diet Coke. We were told they had run out. My husband ordered a breakfast burrito and tried to add ranchero sauce-they pulled it from the menu. It was one of our favorites, so that was a bummer. While waiting I noticed a couple dead flies on the windowsill, and this seems to be a pervasive issue. I have noticed it the last several visits. Our table was filthy, including sticky syrup all over. When my french toast came and I unrolled my silverware there was something green stuck on there and consequently also in my napkin. I don't like giving a place I love a review like this, but it's been like this the last few visits. It's getting harder to overlook. My hope is that someone will increase the quality control at the Gilbert location and give it the tlc it needs and deserves.
