CHICKEN NOODLES
Michelle M.

This was my first time eating at RA Sushi. We visited RA Sushi around 7PM on a Tuesday and had a $50 birthday reward from my husband's birthday. The restaurant was nearly empty, so we were seated, served, and finished in under an hour. The red decor creates a nice atmosphere, though it feels more like an adult-focused spot than a family-friendly venue so I personally would not bring kids. My husband really enjoyed his sushi, particularly the Shrimp Tempura and California rolls. However, he noticed the prices have increased since he last ordered sushi and the specialty rolls didn't feel worth the extra cost. In the future, he'd opt for two traditional rolls (like shrimp or salmon) for just a dollar more, which offers twice the pieces even if they are slightly smaller. My husband would give this meal a 3.5 star. My experience with the entrees was less ideal. Since they were out of almost all steak options, I ordered the Chicken Noodles. Unfortunately, the dish was not great. It lacked any teriyaki flavor and mostly tasted like a faint soy sauce. It was heavily loaded with large, thick slices of green onions (you may want to ask for light or finely diced onions if you aren't a big fan) and had very little chicken or mushrooms. It ended up feeling like a bowl of noodles and raw onions. I wouldn't order this dish again. The salad that came with the meal tasted like a citrus dressing and I was not a fan of it or the soup. I would give this meal a one star. Lastly, our server brought the bill and said, "cash tips are appreciated." While most people should know cash is always great, having a server say that directly felt a bit awkward. The food experience overall wasn't great and I was thankful my husband had a birthday reward or I would have felt even more disappointed as I did not find our meal worth a $70 meal.

Stopped in here the other night for the first time in like 20 years. I have to say that I was very disappointed. The only reason I'm even giving 3 stars is because our server was phenomenal. Basically, the prices for the very ridiculously limited amount of rolls they have to offer were not great, the rolls were ok at best, and the drinks were weak. There are too many way better options around for sushi these days.

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.

Taven was a great server. We celebrated my son becoming a pilot. The rolls are awesome. I love the pineapple wontons.

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!

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.

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 :)

Everything here was amazing!! The food is so fresh and tasted DIVINE oh my goodness. (I recommend the steak fried rice btw) Our server Taven was so friendly and helpful as well! What a great date night experience

Camille D.

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.

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 :-)

Chris M.

Tara was amazing. What a fantastic waitress the best waitress we've had year to date. We've been to numerous restaurants this year, but Tara was the best Her customer service her attention to detail her promptness. Everything was great about her. When you go to the restaurant, please ask for Tara to be your server.. Luis, the manager was phenomenal. Checked on us numerous times service was impeccable restaurant is clean. Food was hot. Everything was great thank you so much. We will return.

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!

Should have apologized for the wait, but were rude instead. Cannot say much else besides that. To go, pick order was past pick up time.

The first time I came was when they originally opened, so had a few hiccups and sushi was okay. Now years later, I would have expected better quality fish, rolls, the way they cut their fish etc. Unfortunately, nothing has changed. Came with a friend, she said she enjoyed this place. I ended up ordering two rolls for myself. Can't remember the names now, but the rolls were flavorless even with sauces that went on top (I actually asked for more and still didn't have much flavor), the cuts of fish were very skimpy/thin and uneven, my sushi rolls themselves also lacked ingridients inside and were so small. As shown in my pictures. I ended up taking the left overs home to show my spouse and to see what he thought, thinking maybe my taste buds were off, and I was being extra and he was in shock that I actually ate some of it and didn't say anything. For rolls costing $15+ I would hope for a bit thicker cuts of fish since that's what I'm paying for, not closer to paper thin... I was truly so disappointed.

The dining area is very cute - a perfect setting for anyone dining alone. Each table has everything you need for a hassle-free dining experience. Seating is limited so this wouldn't be ideal for a huge party. The staff here is so friendly! The moment I entered, I was greeted with a warm smile and shown to a table. For being as small as they are, the menu is quite impressive. I ordered a few of my favorite things to try, because every place has their own version of the same thing. I love that. The food was fantastic, but what really stole the show for me was the Daruma Kimchi Ramen. Oh my gosh, I cannot remember the last time I enjoyed a bowl of ramen this much. It was savory, spicy, and perfectly balanced with tangy kimchi that is made in house!!! Absolutely wonderful bowl of goodness. The spice level is adjustable. It's on a scale of 1-5, but it's an American 1-5 so it's pretty weak compared to Asian spice levels. I got the 5 and it was perfect. Just enough heat to really bring out all the complex flavors of this perfect broth. I thoroughly enjoyed every sip and slurp until my meal was unexpectedly cut short by a text informing me my car was ready for pickup next door. But I will certainly be back. Again and again.

Tonight I ordered a Coke Zero and enjoyed a cucumber salad and a Spicy Sapporo Miso Butter Ramen. Asked for spicy level 5 but received a #3. I was in Ramen paradise. Heat was ok, flavor is crazy delicious. The salad is fresh, crisp tossed in a very nice Chef Crafted dressing. I also ordered a #5 Spicy Mayu Tokotsu Ramen to go, Service 5/5 Tonight just like my last visit was great. It was 4:40 pm and the restaurant wasn't as busy this hour. I had several people checking in with me. Loved that "whomever was available" checking in. Atmosphere Who cares, It's all about the food here. Don't get hung up on atmosphere, decor or you'll miss the best Ramen in Arizona. Why did Daruma Ramen make Yelp's Top 100 in the US? Because the Woman owner Rie is a Great Chef. She is Japanese and Korean and offers really special dishes from both cultures. $60.43 includes tip. Get your noodles on my friends, Daruma Ramen-SYOY!
