| - I'm not a sushi snob - in fact, being a pretty strict vegetarian for the past four years, I'd never tried sushi except for the California and avocado rolls. Real sushi is quite a different experience.
The ambience was pretty mod - I liked the colored glass ball lights hanging from the ceiling. The waitstaff was friendly but (and?) I felt like I'd walked into a modeling agency by mistake.
We went to Ra on a Friday or Saturday night, on the earlier side, and there were less than half a dozen tables occupied. We sat at the sushi bar and had the following:
- yellowfin tuna
-shrimp
-California roll
-New Zealand roll
-sake Sangria
Overall, it was a fun and tasty experience. The sake Sangria went really well with the food. The yellowfin tuna was okay, the shrimp was yummy, but the New Zealand rolls took the cake - smoked salmon and cream cheese (which I know makes sushi freaks cringe) on the inside, pine nuts, slices of fresh kiwi (!), and an eel-mango drizzle over the top. WHOA! Pretty cool. I'm not saying it's authentic sushi (I honestly have no idea), but it sure was good (and fresh).
I would go back but would check out other sushi places first.
