| - We came to Ra at Fashion Show Mall for reverse happy hour on a Wednesday night. It was pretty slow, and we were able to snag a two top on the patio for some prime people watching. Our server was prompt and friendly without being overbearing. Even though it was slow, our sushi order took about 20-30 minutes to come out. We had a few drinks and didn't really mind the wait, but our server brought us some free edamame anyways. I've been to a few different Ra restaurants in the Phoenix area, but this was by far the best experience.
Reverse happy hour runs from 10-close during the week. There were dozens of drinks and food options on the menu, ranging from $2.75-7.75 per item. We had some pretty standard rolls (spicy salmon, shrimp, yellowtail). They weren't anything mind blowing, but hit the spot and were decently priced. The yakitori chicken came with three skewers; the teriyaki sauce was bland, and the meat was a little tough. Same for the seared ahi tapas.
Bottom line: our bill came to just under $50 on 5 items, two vodka drinks and two bud lights. Not the place for sushi connoisseurs, but a good inexpensive alternative to pricey restaurants on the strip. The people watching is superb.
