Ever had that friend that you haven't seen in years, but when you get together it's like no time has passed? That's Ra sushi to me. Back in the day (like 10 years ago) when I worked at the mall, my girls and I would frequent this joint and get wasted on mango hot sake and viva Las Vegas rolls. Fast forward to now, in a sushi reunion, I'm back on the Ra bandwagon! Not much has changed, except for some great menu additions, and less of a Club vibe (no more dj both).
What you get at Ra that you can't get at the 1000 other amazing sushi places in town is a super cool vibe, sexy lounge like restaurant atmosphere, a full bar with innovative cocktails and full beer list, and really good sushi for a great price. It's like the best mix of local meets strip. Perfect for date night. Perfect for meeting the girls. Just perfect.
It's located on the outside of Fashionshow Mall on the Las Vegas Blvd side in between kona grill and el Segundo. They're open late and also do an amazing lunch special. I love coming here for lunch and getting a bento box, or for happy hour cocktails and some sushi dinner.
The staff is amazing. The bartender Adam is funny and great at slangin' drinks. My server Jorge was so attentive and made our experience great! The GM of the restaurant Ken even came out and checked on our table. Such a good time and amazing food.
So get your butts away from Chinatown and all-you-can-eat sushi for like one second and reintroduce yourself to Ra.
