I've been wanting to try RA for awhile now, the one by my house in San Diego has horrible parking as it's downtown so this was great as it was walking distance to the my hotel I was staying in, the Tempe Mission Palms. I always think all sushi tastes good and somewhat similar from cheaper to high end places but I will say the food I had here last night was by far superb! I enjoyed the yellowtail in some type of garlic citrus sauce and then I wasn't going to get the seared tuna as I had eaten tuna for lunch but my server Gabby told me it was one of their best plates so I chose that over the salmon. I'm so glad I got it as it was delicious, some of the best fish I've eaten. The creamy soy dressing it comes in is really delicious and I can't tolerate to much dairy so the fact it was made with soy and not cream was even better! The couple next to me also let me try a piece of some chilli sashimi and everything else on the menu looked good.
They do have a great happy hour menu from 4-7 and I would have liked to have gotten there for that but the server did let me know they do a reverse HH also from 10pm - midnight which is great on the nights you want a late dinner but a light one. I have another day here in AZ so maybe I'll make the reverse one before I go.
They also have a great alcohol selection and I had a really nice Pinot noir.
Very clean facility, trendy spot, great decor, nice servers, lots of seating places, good alcohol and of course great food!
The only one thing I would have liked to have seen is some rolls without rice.
