Came to Ra last week with my sister, and I've been to Ra several times. Over the past few months I have noticed it is definitely not as full as it used to be. The music was up awkwardly loud for a tuesday night, especially given that there wasn't very many people in the place. Anyhow my sister and I sat down and ordered a yellowtail appetizer and a few drinks, and then she ordered a few rolls while I stuck with the sashimi plate that I usually get.
The appetizer was really good, yellowtail in a garlic/soy sauce of sorts with some green onions shaved on top. When my sashimi arrived, I could tell from the smell of the platter that the sashimi was borderline fresh, and after taking a bite of the salmon I informed the waitress that it wasn't really up to par. After conferring with the chefs, the waitress came back to inform me that the fish was fresh and cut this morning, but that she's happy to take it off of the bill since anything else I order will be taken off the same fish. So instead of offering another option, she walks away and leaves me with a bowl of rice.
Needless to say I wound up walking down the street to another restaurant after my sister finished her roll to eat something.
