I was in the area looking for food. I was leaning towards the new in and out but it seemed very busy. I circled the parking lot at for option and saw blacked out door and a RAW sigh at the top. I remembered its a sushi place.. Made up my mind. I walked in and the place was fairly busy for dinner time on a Thursday. No host at the entrance so I quickly looked over to the bar where you dont need a host to seat yoy. They bar was fairly small but I managed to get one seat. Granted there was a NFL football game on. Sat down a the bartender ask if I was there to eat. I said I hope so with a chuckle. A bar patron advised me that they only serve sushi. I didn't register so in said what? He said they same thing. I took a sec and said thank you. He must have noticed that was new there. So I start with a tall Soporro black label and a lobster tempura. It was a chopped up lobster tail es a essentially. Wish it was a lighter tempura or even a panko breadcrumbs tempura. It was a little on the heavy battered side. Wish they had put more sauce on the bottom of side to counter the batter. Nonetheless tasty. They put the tail as a garnish which was nice. I even nipped at it. After I ordred some nigiri Scallop, snow crab and salmon chili.. All were very good. Scallops were fresh, snow crab portion was great and the salmon chilli was excellent, very good. In the mean time I order a Tiffany mix drink. Food came out so I ordered another mixed drink the sake on the beach.. i Wish I ordered more food but the menu was taking away buy that time. No biggie. Another group of folks showed up and started raving about a Crack sauce. I asked what is this Crack so because im a fat ass. They weren't sure so they gave me a sample with edamame. Very cool of them of course I thank them. The edamame was edamame with some space on it and the Crack sauce was like a vinegar, fish sauce, maybe sugar, lime , chillies andd topped with sesame seed. It wasnt spicy but I can see it going well it a fatty piece of fish or an oily baked sushi roll.. don't think that sauce is available on the menu tho. Might be a bartender Specials. Sorry I did get her name. White gal driving that boat. Ways.. tall glass bottle beer, two mixed drinks, 6 pieces of nigiri and a lobster tempura $84 not including tip. Next time ill skip on the mix drink and stay with beer. Ambiance was cool wish the football game audio was playing to further enjoy my stay. Football game on mute isnt my style. Service was great. read more

We were in the Spanos area recently, and wanted to get some good food. Found this place and we said why not...I had the chicken teriyaki, I'm basic I know lol, my wife had the katsu chicken, garlic edamame, and my daughter had a roll. I'm simple, but the chicken teriyaki was amazing...salad and rice were the perfect addition. My wife's katsu chicken was good, needed sauce but wasn't bad at all. The garlic edamame was the best part of the dinner...so much flavor. Service was nice, place was clean and organized, definitely will come back again now that we have a reason to come to Spanish. read more

We have come several times and have yet to be disappointed! My favorite La are Dante's Inferno and Dark Horse. I like that they come with a little side salad along with the sushi rolls. Service is better than most places, but you do have to ask for drink refills. We haven't figured out if that's because they don't anticipate guests needs for them or they expect guests to ask yet. Still working that one out. Prices used to seem too steep here but now that everywhere else is inflated, Raw has competitive pricing. Togo orders are great here as well! They have a full bar so of course I order my favorite dirty martini each time and they make it right. read more

We had a big group and they took such good care of us! Drinks and sushi were delicious. Jaydyn the server was so friendly and sweet.

Conveniently placed in a complex of other stores. Perfect for a break from shopping or work nearby. Had the popular sushi they recommended. and fried oyster and gyoza. Super fast staff and friendly. Great seating. The roll below in the photo... so tasty. Good spicy level for me ( I like my sushi more spicy so take that as you will). The spicy fried jalapeños that were like a mini appetizer with the entre was a nice plus; tasty and unique flavor on its own. read more

So came here during the weekend. My review may be a bit bias because the restaurant in modesto is my absolute favorite place to eat. So coming here for the first time I had compared the two establishments. Overall this place was good. Its in the middle of a shopping center so parking can vary based on the times that you go. The establishment is a decent size. Bar is small but has what's needed. The service was great. The young lady was able to provide recommendations and go over the menu. The food was good. The garlic edamame did not taste the same as the modesto location. Way more watery and a lot less creamy than modesto. I absolutely love the garlic edamame so this was a bit of a disappointment. Also tried the beef asparagus rolls which I thought was good. The sushi rolls were very delicious. Overall this place was good. Just wished they were as good as modesto. read more

This is one of my favourite places to eat Japanese food. The only thing I wish was different is I wish they had boxes. I enjoy having a combination of things and I can't enjoy that here because it would cost probably $50 for 1 person. The prices are pretty high. For example I had mixed tempura and a California roll and my lunch was around $28. I think maybe it was $24 but with a tip it was $28. It's a hip place to eat and the servers are very friendly. I love the food. It's very good quality. I would give it 5 stars but it's hard to do that since I can't see spending so much to enjoy something that only costs maybe $20 elsewhere and will include 3-4 different things. I look forward to the next time I treat myself to eat here. read more

I ordered 4/18/2025 and was promised my order within 15-20 which I received for pick up. They were punctual and kind with their service. There are two concerns that I found with RAW. 1. The restaurant is extremely dark, almost black I felt like I was eating in pitch black darkness. It wasn't dim lighting it was dark and most of the lights off. I don't know how they don't see this as a fall risk. This actually can create concern for elderly or those with eye impairments. 2. The sushi was presented well BUT it wasn't good because the raw sushi was hot(didn't seem food safe) and didn't taste fresh and had a mushy/spoiled/soft texture and the rolls were very small for about $22-$25 per roll. The area is okay between five below and other shopping stores, the service is nice, the lighting should be brighter and the sushi should be bigger and more fresh. All in all 3/5 read more

I ordered take out at Raw on Friday for lunch. I ordered the fried California roll and garlic edamame. The roll was delicious, fresh and crunchy, which made it perfect! The garlic edamame serving was huge! It was easy to order online, unfortunately parking can be difficult in that area due to numerous stores and restaurants but that won't stop me from returning. read more

We frequent Raw frequently and always enjoy the restaurant. Our waitress was very nice and efficient. The food was great. We ordered a bottle of beer and a glass of wine. We the ordered food a few minutes later Tiffany the bartender served multiple people and spoke to customers. Many times she was not in the bar. When we had completed our meal they asked if we still wanted our drinks. There were 4 other tables at the time that had already served. No one at the sushi bar and one person at the bar read more

Came here with the family on a busy Friday evening. It can get busy very quickly so it's best to get in early. The restaurant is nice and modern. They play loud music in the evening so if you're not into that, this may not be the place for you. We ordered miso soup, cali roll, fried Philly roll, and rolls that I forgot the names of lol. They weren't bad at all and our server was nice. read more

I'm so glad I gave this place a try. I work in the same shopping center and my coworkers were talking about sushi here! Was waiting for my ride to go home and was hungry and decided to give it a try. The workers asked me if my food was to go and I told them. Yes I looked at the menu and decided to get the roadkill roll. So glad I got it. It's a huge plate and it taste delicious and is very colorful. The store itself is very dark and atmospheric and very gorgeous. I would definitely go on a date here they play a lot of bass music when I came in and it was really cool. Felt like I was at a very nice restaurant. Would definitely come back with family. Thank you for the fun experience raw! read more

Raw Sushi Bistro is one of my favorite sushi spots. The Dante Inferno Roll is hands down the best sushi here--full of flavor, perfectly balanced, and always fresh. The service is friendly and fast, and the atmosphere is relaxed and clean. I keep coming back because the quality is consistently great. Highly recommended if you love good sushi. read more

Nice spot for sushi. Not a very good spot for a bunch of drinks, and make sure if it is summer time not to sit in front of the window because they don't have good blinds and it's hot. Definitely good for sushi. I will go back read more

We were again looking for great food and dining experience leaving Sacramento Kings vs Warriors games and was kicking ourselves of not eating in Sac. with many, many choices! Ending up back here at Raw Stockton and remembered the Chef Dante experience! There were many different raw sashimi, sushi rolls, and other dishes on the menu to choose. I ordered the Dante appetizer and sushi roll and everything was very tasty and fresh. I am always pleased with the quality and quantity of the food here, begin so fresh and quality not compromised and neither is the service. Kianan was our primary server this evening and we had experience her services once before and was very pleased. She was very welcoming, quick with service and attentive, and guided us through our sushi experience with many recommendation and detail about each dish. The asparagus appetizer is to die for, since we were not able to make it to the Asparagus Festival. Presentation is always unique and tasted as good as it looked. Place is small and cozy with cramped table seating, next time we will chose to sit at the bar which is bit roomy. Parking is no problem because the restaurant is found in a strip mall. I would recommend reservation because this place is very busy and vibrant during the evenings and weekends! We really enjoyed our dinner and will visit again whenever we are in the area! read more

For my mom's birthday yesterday I decided to treat her out to lunch. We ended up having lunch at this spot since we were in the area. When we were outside it didn't look like this restaurant was open because you couldn't see inside but they had an open sign hanging on the window. The lighting inside is dim. For lunch we both ordered the same dish. We got the salmon teriyaki. Their take on this dish is different from other Japanese restaurants I have been too. The salmon teriyaki is served with mushrooms, onions and zucchini. The dish tasted really good. Portions here are huge and are good for two people to share. Overall, we enjoyed the food we ordered and service was friendly and attentive. read more

Hadn't been here in years. Probably 15 years. Back then, the place was excellent. I was in the area so I stopped in with a friend. The interior changed a little and the only thing I wasn't wild about was the fact there were a few more tables than there should have been. They definitely want to be able to see as many people as possible. The problem with that is the tables were too close together and wasn't as private as you would hope. The waitress was friendly and helpful and we ordered deep-fried oysters for an appetizer and decided to go with their big platter which came with assorted rolls and salad. We got the platter because I wanted to get their best. It was the most expensive thing on the menu. I paid over a $100 for lunch that day for 2. The oysters were good, but they were almost too big for being deep-fried. What do I mean? Usually fried oysters are on the smaller side and work well as a one bite appetizer. These oysters were big. They're more like a 2 to 3 bite appetizer and because they were big they were a little too juicy for me. When I eat a deep fried oyster, I like to eat the entire thing in one bite and have the correct proportion of batter and crunch to contrast the moisture of the oyster. they were seasoned well and fried well, but it was too juicy and not enough crunchy. Onto the platter - it was a huge platter that probably could've fed 4 to 6 people. I'm a big guy and I love to eat and so does my friend, and we were very excited to dig in. It looked delicious but it just fell flat. The teriyaki chicken it came with were smaller diced up pieces that were cut too small so it made it difficult to eat with chopsticks. The flavor was OK, but it was a little weird coming with the platter. The sushi wad just average, which was disappointing. Because 15 years ago, I would've swore they were the best sushi spot in Stockton. Needless to say, we barely touched the plate, for some reason we weren't that hungry that day, but if the sushi was better, we probably would've ate more. all in all, it is a nice place, with nice ambience and service, but the food has definitely taken a step back. It was to the point where I have no need to return. I brought the leftovers home and my sons wouldn't eat it saying it didn't taste good. It's not that the food was bad, but it just wasn't up to par with the other sushi spots that I normally frequent. 3 stars because the place is nice and service was excellent. read more

The girls here are sweet waitresses and Keyanna especially is adorable, fun, and super energetic - really made for a great experience! The food is of course amazing! And decent prices for the amount and value of the food! The only reason I did 4 stars instead of 5 is because it's not super consistent. And we've had some negative experiences when the bartender was a waiter.. hopefully they realize customer service is not his strong suit. Besides that, still our favorite sushi place in Stockton! read more

Their sushi was just ok in my opinion. I wasn't really wowed by anything considering the price. That's not to say that it's bad it just felt expensive for what I was getting. I really liked the wide open space and the music they played. We actually sang a few songs with other nearby patrons. Service was slightly above average which we appreciated. I will probably give it another shot and take some suggestions from the staff. read more

I love having an enjoyable meal from here and every now and again drinks. But the last two visited here from a CLEAN location aspect. Has ben a little disappointing. The floors are dirty, tables are not cleaned in a timely manner, adding to the dirty view of the floors. Restroom is a bit slick as well. The corner table that we were seated at still had used napkins on the ground and two tables around us were not cleaned until someone was about to be seated there. The food on the other hand is always great when here. Would love to keep visiting here but not if the appearance is going downhill read more

Raw sushi is located in a shopping center with plenty of parking. This was my first visit and I was shocked at how the big restaurant is on the inside. I visited on a Thursday evening around 7p with a friend of mine. There was plenty of seating available and they were playing great music along with the warriors game on the TV by the bar. Over the ambiance is good. They did have all of the shades down in the restaurant so there was no natural light. I'm assuming it was because of the heat. We did open a shade close to where we were sitting without an issue. We started with sparkling sake. I highly recommend the mixed berry flavor. My date decided to get sushi which he really enjoyed. I decided to try to teriyaki shrimp and rice. I am not sure what type of shrimp they use but I did not like it at all. I ended up not eating the shrimp and ordering a appetizer of salmon to have with my rice. The salmon was pretty bland but it did the job. After we finished the sake we decided to do another round and tried out the watermelon martini which was excellent. Overall I probably would no go for the food unless I was specifically getting sushi only. The drinks were awesome and the service was good. read more

I love Raw!! I love coming here for their rolls. It's soo damn good! I especially their specialty rolls and also select food items off their menu. They never disappoint me and I usually stick to the same stuff because it's soo damn good! I highly recommend the following: + Fried oysters.. bomb!! + Spicy Edamame + Beef wrapped asparagus (that ponzu sauce is bomb) + Salmon ceviche or tuna (preferably salmon for me cause I'm not a tuna fan) + BTS roll.. it is a must try and also one of their specialty rolls. I usually ask for spring mix too they'll charge extra for it and it sounds weird (salad with sushi roll) it's soo damn good! + Dante's inferno roll. It may look overwhelming but It's spicy and good. + Stephanie Roll it's simple smoked salmon. + Goodi Roll. There's spring mix on this one but there's also eel on top. Im not a big fan of eel so I'll hav him substitute it with something else (yes they'll charge extra) A downfall though if you're dining in is that you can expect a long wait for your food. I feel they need to and can work to improve their service. read more

Raw Sushi Bistro - Dante's Inferno - Japanese Near Me - Stockton, California

This place is average but the service I received sitting at the bar was pretty good, at least much better than what I got from the person who was supposed to be my server. It's a shame because they probably took most of the tip I gave. While the food looked like it'd be good, the quality of it was questionable. I thought it was nice of the sushi chef to make me something off the top of his head when I asked for recommendations. It was some kind of saucy, torched salmon wrapped sushi. It was delicious although not something I'd typically order. The restaurant seems to be busy and stay busy. When I came for dinner, the music was so loud that people were practically shouting to be heard. read more
