Weston was our server this evening and he was very polite and kind! I love Ra, the sushi here is always excellent and so fresh. I had the hot honey Paloma which was indeed spicy. The shishito peppers, wings, hot mess and lobster inferno were definitely my top picks. Can’t wait to stop by again.

The experience was wonderful from the Welcome to the very end! We were celebrating Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I’m a 2.5 year survivor. Our server was Niha. She was so sweet and extremely helpful! We received a couple of surprises. Michael, the Manager that day, was very sweet and thoughtful! Luci, the hostess took our picture and was very sweet. The food was absolutely delicious!! I love RA!!

In town for business and in person meetings and I had a desire for sushi, as usual. I opened maps and searched sushi and low and behold, Ra was just across the mall! I've always had great experiences with Ra sushi, so I decided to go and take a couple coworkers. I was NOT disappointed!! The service was top notch and the food and drinks were perfect! I will be back!! Thank you!

Jonathan took incredible care of us on the insanely busy 2024 Valentines Day! We waited a while for our table and food, but as to be 100% expected on the holiday of love! My husband and I ordered not 1, but 2 Punch Bowls to pass the time with great conversation and incredible food!. Jonathan gave us great recommendations and knew all the answers to our questions on the menu. He was personable and took time (despite being very busy, he didn’t show it!) to care about us newlywed lovebirds. Will definitely be back to RA, a now going on 5 year favorite ours!!

We arrived at 2:30pm on a Sunday and surprised to find a wait. We decided to sit in the bar area. Service started very slow - the bartender was also serving and spread very thin. The walls and furniture a bit beat up, but I know this location has been open for a while. Everything ended up fantastic though! She printed the gluten sensitive menu for us and everyone was very attentive to the our dietary needs. Everything we ordered was delicious and the food came out quickly. The server was extremely friendly and personable and took great care of us.

Went here for the first time for lunch with a co-worker and Adam made our experience the absolute best! He was so kind, friendly and attentive. He also made sure that not all of our food came at once. RA is located right by the mall, plenty of parking. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I absolutely loved the decor and they played great music while we were there. I already am planning when to come back to try their happy hour! The appetizer and sushi was fresh and delicious and worth the price. The plating/presentation was beautiful. They have hand sanitizer available at the door. They are seating tables in respect to social distancing and they have a QR code to pull up the menu! All staff also had on mask. Instead of providing a shared soy sauce, they bring you packets. Great place for lunch or dinner with friends, for a date night, to celebrate something or just a night for drinks!

This was my first time trying Ra Sushi, and I was absolutely blown away! The food was beautiful and amazing! Our server Brittany, was very attentive, friendly and just all around awesome! Everything was delicious and as a chef I am very big on having a great dining experience and Ra Sushi did not disappoint. If you have never been, please do yourself the honor of having some amazing food, great service while enjoying the beautiful ambiance. Thank you Brittany and Ra Sushi…..I will definitely be back!! ~Chef Tendai

Come for Happy Hour! $3 hot sale, $6 & $9 bites (sushi, appetizers) and drinks. I love this place for HH because their food is delish! The $9 flaming geisha is also fantastically delicious! Price/value, cute ambiance, delicious food and drinks, and location (shopping, activities, and other restaurants) earns this place 4 stars for me. The service has always just been meh but with enough drinks, you would hardly notice. So go Ra Ra Ra Ra Ra and Ravish that sushi goodness! Enjoy!

I came in wanting to check out their lunch specials. However, I ended up ordering off the regular menu. Service was a little slow. However, all employees were trying to help each other out. I think our server had the whole restaurant and was training the bartender as well. Prices comparable to sushi restaurants in the area. Decent spot while shopping at the mall. It's right along the mall so the parking is nice and close to the restaurant entrance.

Had a reservation for two on a Monday. There wasn't a lot of people inside which we didn't mind, quicker service. We got seated by the windows and it was a bit chilly even though they were closed. But we didn't want to make a fuss about moving. Drinks: Coke 10/10 Caribbean Passion 10/10, really enjoyed the coconut cream in it. Tasted like a pina colada. Appetizers: Ra Ra Shrimp 6/10, the tempura batter was really throwing off the whole taste. It didn't go well with the shrimp. The sauce was okay but something was off about the plate. Entrees: Tootsy Maki 10/10, really good enjoyed the flavoring and crunch of the cucumber in my roll. Loved the sauce that was on the plate too. Spicy shrimp 4/10 the spice wasn't doing it for this roll and the shrimp tasted off. Would of been fine without it. Not enjoyable. Shrimp Tempura ? Didn't have a try because the other one ruined our appetite :( Chicken Fried Rice 7/10, the chicken was try and was giving a weird flavoring to the rice and veggies. Without it, it tasted nice Probably won't be back but was nice too try and had coupon when signing up :)

I'm always nervous trying new trying new sushi places. I'm very picky about taste, texture, and cost. I'm set in my ways, haha. First time here, and I was delighted with the experience and sushi. Service was a little slow, but they were understaffed. The waitresses were very nice and friendly. It's a big restaurant with the bar in the middle, so you don't realize how big it is until you start walking around. I ordered 4 rolls, spicy salmon, dragon, zonie, and a 4th that I can't remember at the moment. They were delicious. Even the waitress was surprised how fast I ate them. All the sushi rolls had great flavor, and they didn't fall apart when I ate them. Give this place a try!

I will preface this review by sharing that I used to frequently visit Ra at this location back in 2014/2015. Decided to visit again on a Monday (Sept 2023) at 4 pm. The restaurant and bar were not busy during my dining. The staff was friendly. I honestly don't know whether they were short staffed (didn't seem like it), but it looked as if 1-2 employees were overwhelmed/overworked while others were moving at a much different pace. I began observing this because the service was exceptionally slow. My party and I felt bad for our waiter who seemed to be drowning in work (serving food and covering the bar/making cocktails). We had to set our own table (by borrowing plates, napkin, and chopsticks from other tables). We had to buss our own table by bringing dishes to the bar. The food was extremely delayed and sushi rolls (non fried ones) were quite literally falling apart from the poor rolling technique. The ambience was offputting with tables that remained uncleaned throughout our whole dining experience. In addition to this, the floor was extremely sticky likely from spilled drinks/food. The waiter did acknowledge the extreme delay in service and food delivery, and did offer a free bowl of miso for the table. Really disappointing as this place has historically been a great happy hour and dining location. Unfortunately, I won't be returning unless significant changes to service and the quality of food are made.

Stopped in here after walking around the Yorktown mall for a quick snack. I was surprised with how empty this place was. The service was pretty good, nothing bad or good to report. We tried the viva Las Vegas roll and it was your average maki roll. The presentation is where it's at! They do a great job making this roll beautiful. The inside of this place is on the dimmer side, great for an intimate dinner but we were here at 2pm on a Sunday. Overall everything was fine! Nothing out of the ordinary or great however also nothing terrible. It's a good spot for grabbing something small and quick.

A friend kept talking about how much he likes RA Sushi Bar, so I tried it out. Sat in the bar area since it was only me. It was empty during the lunch hour. Seems to have also been the case in the main dining area. I ordered "RA"CKIN' rice with spicy chicken. It wasn't bad, but it also wasn't spectacular. The chili ponzu yellowtail roll was pretty good. There was a chili ponzu sauce that came with the roll that didn't add to it, so I used the complementary soy sauce. The lobster shrimp roll had mock crab in it. The server explained that the "krab" was pre-mixed in with the lobster. I opted to have the lobster and "krab" omitted. The Asian pesto sauce that came with it did nothing to add any flavor. I ate the rolls, but there was nothing to them noteworthy. I would have to try some of their robata or hibachi. There may be higher points to score with those menu items.

Came here on a Friday night with reservations and had a choice between the dining area, high tops, and half booths - we choose the half booths which I now regret because the service was pretty bad and it felt like we were in the "kiddie table" area. I'm guessing the dining area has the more experienced servers to will remember that for next time. Ordered off a bunch of items off the happy hour menu - salmon sashimi, yellowtail, tuna, panko chicken and shrimp tempura. The salmon sashimi, yellow tail, and tuna were really great! Would definitely go back for this - delicious, fresh, and great quality! The shrimp tempura was just okay - the texture was a bit spongy for my preference. I wouldn't order the panko chicken again or recommend it. It was kind of dry from perhaps being overcooked and the sauce that came with it was a sort of a lame sweet and sour. Overall, would come here again but with average expectations for a decent price. Service can be improved. Our server was friendly but young and inexperienced - had to be called over from the absolute beginning taking our order, to refilling drinks, and to the end where "we're done" did not translate to "we're ready for the check".

Poke salmon bowl, bummed there was not more sauce, I could have asked. Salmon was fresh. Good price for this. Spicy soup had crunchy fried rice rectangles- at first thought they were tater tots. This was nice. Service great, food came quickly.

Sushi is honestly amazing, really great quality and good selections. However, it's a very high price and I'm not sure if it's a good deal at all. 4 rolls are about 90 total , depending on what you order, and that's a bot steep. With that being said, service and ambiance are solid.

RA Sushi has been one of my favorite Sushi spots for a long time, like over 10 years long. They were the go to Sushi spot before Sushi became "trendy" They have an one of the best Happy Hours around - 3-7 Mon through Friday and also again 10-close. I believe their food Happy Hour also extend to Sat as well. I always get their Shrimp Tempura and Dragon Roll and they never disappoint me. Drinks are always great as well. They have added Casamigos Margaritas to their Happy Hour for $9 and they are GOOD! The Cucumber and Mango are my favorites. Service is always welcoming and attentive. Whenever I'm this way and want Sushi I come here and will continue to.

Came here to celebrate my Birthday. Ended up being highly disappointed in the food, service and experience overall. For the price you pay here, you expect amazing quality and sadly it fell short of the mark. My issues with this location are listed below: 1. At 3pm it seemed they had only 2 servers juggling duties of the hostess, waitress and bartender. So you can imagine the waitress wasn't present and attentive like she should have been. We waited forever to get utensils, napkins and clean plates. The table we were seated at wasn't properly set up for new patrons and she didn't even notice what we were missing and that it wasn't clean. When she would come by she wouldn't ask if we needed anything else or if everything was satisfactory. She didn't think to refill drinks and didn't even ask if we needed refills. 2 more waiters showed up around 3:30 or 4:00 and stood around talking instead of getting to work and taking some of the workload off the 2 staff members that were juggling more than they could handle. 2. We were surrounded by atleast 4 tables filled with dirty dishes after patrons departed. No one bothered to clean up the mess and clean up the tables. It looked so neglected and these employees just kept walking by it all. The dirty dishes remained on these tables until we were about to leave. To add further to that the cleanliness of the restaurant was lacking and the furniture had so much wear and tear and dirty stains it was disgusting. 3. Appetizers arrived sporadically with long waits in between. So much so I had to keep inquiring that they didn't forget about them. 4. Ordered a cocktail and it didn't even look like an alcoholic beverage. Looked no different than the strawberry lemonade. I had to ask which was the actual cocktail. Disappointing beverage in aesthetic and taste. But guess that's what happens when it's not an actual bartender making the drinks. 5. The sushi arrived. And it wasn't as amazing as I was expecting. One of the dishes was supposed to arrive on a plate with a flame. That didn't happen. I had to inquire about it and the waitress said she forgot to light it. She comes back with some lighter fluid and a lighter and lights it so we could still get the experience. It was the only reason I chose that sushi entree to begin with. Sadly, she didn't know what she was doing cause that lighter fluid got to the sushi and was no longer edible afterwards. Huge disappointment. 5. At the end we had to hunt down a waitress to get our check and to-go boxes. When our waitress finally showed up with the check she hovered over me as I scanned my card on her hand held card reader. But she proceeded to stand over me as I was finalizing my payment. Nothing more irritating than someone watching you as you make your tip and payment selections. She needs to walk away and stop hovering over patrons. Funny how when it came to getting the money she had more of a presence than she had the entire service. Highly disappointed with the experience. Ruined a birthday celebration and I had major regrets ever choosing this restaurant. Safe to say I will never be returning and wouldn't recommend it. Says a lot to the franchise when all the other locations in the Chicago land area have been permanently closed. Won't be surprised if this one meets the same fate eventually. Patron beware.

We were hankering for sushi and found Ra - the parking lot was being repainted so they were blocked off and a little harder to find We were there in time for the happy hour - we ordered a few items and liked them all . The salmon with avocado was quite tasty. The old fashion cocktail hit the spot.

We came here after leaving flat top grill (next door) since no one even addressed us there. The experience here definitely made up for that. We were immediately addressed the min we walked in and taken to our table. The waiter answered all the questions we had about the menu. The food came pretty quickly starting with appetizers and followed by the main dishes. The ambiance was great with the right amount of light and noise levels. Everything tasted great and we had a great experience.

This was our first time trying RA Sushi and we probably will not be back. Our server Caitlyn arrived at the table quickly to get our drink orders and appetizer orders. The drinks and appetizers arrived in a timely manner and tasted great! Then the rest of the meal when downhill from there. As a party of 5, our meals were staggered and we had people waiting for their entrees while others were almost done. The 2 filets (hibachi entree) were supposed to be cooked medium rare and were well done. The vegetables tasted frozen and had no flavor as well. As we began packing up our leftovers the final 2 entrees arrived to the table and at this time everyone was exhausted and just wanted to get home. In addition to all this, there was a table sat behind us with a dog in a stroller. I could barely move my chair because there was not a lot of room between the tables. And the worst part: the people were feeding their dog at the table!!! This is very unsanitary and should not be allowed in a restaurant. When it was time to go it took an additional 10 minutes to pay our check. For $300+ we could've went to a different, similar restaurant that we've had better experiences at. I am highly disappointed in our experience and do not plan on returning to this restaurant. Edit: The manager reached out to discuss these issues - which was much appreciated.

So the place is really welcoming and well decorated. We went on a Monday night at seven, not crowded, hope they get more customers on the weekend if they're going to stay in business. For appetizers, my husband and I got the RA version of Bonefish Bang Bang Shrimp. Tasty, but not quite as good as Bonefish. We ordered a variety of sushi including Crunchy Calamari Roll, all were good but none outstanding. Of all the sushi places we frequent, we'd normally see Japanese chefs but here at RA, none were. Now I'm not saying anyone can't learn to roll sushi but coupled with the okay food, I think it speaks volumes.

Awful. Just awful. It takes a lot for me to write a terrible review but this place deserved it. The servers/bartender were soooo rude: complaining non-stop with each other, eating in front of patrons, and just downright unprofessional. The food was terrible: had the wontons and they were barely cooked. Sushi (one roll) was OK but for $75 for a drink, wontons, and two rolls - rip off!!! Wontons - 4 piece - sushi isn't the whole roll - instead 5 pieces for $20-$22 a roll ‍‍ - never again z

Has a 6:30 reservation for four on Valentine's Day. The lady at the front kept telling me us that it will be a couple of minutes every time we asked (3 times). After 20 minutes they told us that they "hope" one of the four person table gets available soon. We told them we are leaving and all they could say was, "are you sure?" Never got to try the food unfortunately, but disappointed in the service.

We decided to eat before shopping and saw this place. Never been here before but thought we would give it a try. We walked in and the guy host tried to sit us at the corner of the bar, in a small table while there is not that much people at the dining area. There is a black couple that were already sitting there. We are asian lesbian couple. I immediately asked him that if we can sit at the dining room and would prefer a big table knowing how we order. He responded, oh you want a big table? Is this big enough? In a mockery tone, and I responded with yes. He said that it will take time for someone to take our order. But didn't notice that since place is not packed at all. After i read some reviews, realized that they filter people to sit at the dining room. We ordered 2 bento boxes, they are decent. But we ordered yakisoba since it is my wifey's birthday today, noodles for long life and definitely that is overpriced esp for its taste. I also had dr pepper and that too is stale. This is not a place I would go again or even have anyone try it. Keep looking around, it is not worth it.

Overall an okay place, the food and service are alright. It feels more like a bar focused situation and they're often short staffed so except a wait time. But a good spot for something later at night! The poke bowl i got was filling but tasted more like a salad.

Wow! Just WOW! I order Crispy Spicy Tuna, Crunchy Calamari Roll "RA"CKIN' SPICY CHICKEN RICE (Serves 2) can see by the size of the 2 oz sauce container how small the portions are. They charged me $50.51 for this! As soon as I saw this I walked back in and said I wanted my money back. The manager took my order. When I returned and talked to the bartender even he was like stunned then told me that I should have dined in because they charge more for to go orders. He got the manager for me. When the manager came out he was staring me down. Wide eyes and tight lipped. I just said to him I'm not satisfied. This is not $50.51 worth of food. I would like a refund......he just stared at me for another 5 seconds.....said nothing and walked away.....he came back like 5 minutes later with my cash and mumble "Sorry you're not happy." I know that costs are crazy but this is ridiculous. While I was waiting at the bar I got a good look at their frozen drink machine sitting at the end. It looks disgusting. The white plastic housing is filthy and looks like it hasn't been wiped down in weeks.The filter screen on the back of the machine has drink mix running down the back thats brown crusty and dried. First time I went to this location and its the last. Ended up going to Double Dragon and got 4 large rolls and rice for $45.

I was visiting Chicago area friends. We came in here Tuesday and it wasn't very busy, we were greeted but then took forever just to get drinks/order. It was slow but the sever staff was terrible. Food was okay but kinda bland sushi. It's like sushi made by white college bros. I give it two stars because they were at least friendly when we got there.

Lombard location- I'm giving this place a 1 star for the drinks only. We made reservations online and when we came we weren't seated until 20 minutes after our reservation time. When we sat down no one came up to greet us at our table for another 15 minutes. Once we placed our drink order they came out pretty quickly, and were delicious. The issue came to the food. It took over an hour to get any of our entrees. We ordered hibachi and this was absolutely horrible. The chicken was dry and burnt and the steak was burnt and cooked beyond well done. We also waited over an hour and a half for ramen to come out, which only came out until after we asked. The ambiance is fun and looks nice from the outside but I don't recommend the entrees. The sushi was nothing special, and for the price, we expected better. I'm posting this during dinner because I needed to share my experience.

Sushi 4 stars, late night happy hour is a plus. We stayed at the hotel across the street and checked in late. We were happy they were still open and serving food. The sushi rolls we ordered were all tasty. However, the weak part of their food is some of their fried items. There were pre made and frozen. Not very good at all, tasted very processed.

My Visit to Ra sushi was nothing short of amazing. I came in for my lunch break, feeling the need to eat sushi. I wasn't sure I would have time but my sushi was prepared very quickly and was very delicious, Adam was very friendly, he recommended me with a best seller, and I was not disappointed. He's also a very friendly guy, we talked for about 5 minutes, and I could tell he represents this restaurant well. Can't be thankful enough for the experience, I will be back sooner rather than later

My partner had received a $20 gift card from Ra for his birthday. Unfortunately, all of the Ra restaurants near us or downtown have closed. He called them and they told him that he can use it at a nearby sushi/hibachi restaurant that apparently they partner with. However, that restaurant told him no. Hmm? So, we drove out to Lombard. Was the travel worth the $20 gift card? Though it was good, probably not. Plenty of better places nearer to me. What was good was the safety precautions during Covid. There was plenty of social distance between tables. They also have some outdoor seating but the heat lamps weren't on and it was cold and damp outside. Also good was our waitress. Equally good are the happy hour offerings in terms of prices and the wide time frame of what they call happy hour. The food was as good as your average to good sushi restaurant. Ironically, the one selection that we didn't care for was the only item I remembered to take a picture of! They had 3 equally desirable dessert choices. The one I chose was an enormous portion. If you like dessert as much as I do, save room for it!

Me and my friends visited Ra Sushi Bar and we had a great time during happy hour. We ordered many things off the menu. Drinks were great and had me wanting more.

Holy crap. I'm SO severely disappointed in the fact I spent $17.30 on a chicken katsu entree the size of a child's portion. Served over a salad to ensure the breading gets soggy and some not "Asian inspired" bbq sauce surely from a bottle of sweet baby rays. Honestly, Culver's chicken tenders are comparable and yes, tastier. Searching for an l&l bbq replacement in IL is astoundingly difficult. The photo online of the entree (photo included below) looks like a huge portion worth the money, only to receive a quarter of the portion shown. I feel deceived and taken advantage of. Maybe this is what RA sushi is all about? High price and deception, hmmm, can't help but to think more items on menu are like this..... As this was my first visit and my last visit, I'll never return. Two stars bc thankfully I ordered the shrimp tempura roll and that was acceptable, but also, awfully expensive. Support downtown Downers Grove instead and try sushi house, or I've had great experiences at Kai Rotary Sushi in Lombard. I promise both with give you your money's worth and fill you up.

I'd describe the vibe of RA Sushi as laid back and casual. With the dim lighting and red lights I think they're going for a cool and moody atmosphere. The staff is super casual in their approach to customers and treat even new patrons like they know you well. Our server was very friendly almost to the point of awkward but was over all a really good server. Very attentive, helpful, and made good suggestions. I think his sense of humor just wasn't our taste but again over all a good server. They have a large selection of cocktails, both specialty and standard. They also have many beer and wine choices. For my drink I went with one of their speciality cocktails. The Shiso Naughty which is SKYY Pineapple Vodka, X-rated Liquor, with flavors of yuzu and Japanese shiso. It was very light and tasted mildly sweet and had a refreshing element to it. For an appetizer we went with the Pineapple cheese wontons. Which are crispy wontons filled with pineapple, cream cheese, and onion. It's served with a pineapple dipping sauce. I have to say I was somewhat disappointed in this dish. While they were enjoyable. Creamy inside, crispy outside, and the dipping sauce was sweet and nice. They appeared to have forgotten to add the pineapple and onion because there was not a noticeable trace of either. Not a bad dish and with four of them perfect for two people to share. Just not what we were expecting. For my meal I had the Spicy Chili Garlic Ra'men. Which is soy pork broth, ramen noodles, three pieces of seared pork, a soft boiled egg, naruto, green onions, garlic chips, red hot chili garlic, sesame seeds and nori. My husband got the same thing and we both absolutely loved this dish. With the soft and tender texture of all the ingredients, mixed with the warm broth, and enjoyably spicy flavor it's the perfect spicy comfort food. For dessert we tried the cinnamon tempura gelato. Which is lightly battered cinnamon swirl gelato, flash fried and finished with raspberry and chocolate sauces. It was very enjoyable and different. The gelato was cool and creamy with a light crust a very nice ending to the meal. The prices are reasonable too. I recommend this place. I'll be back for the ra'men that's for sure.

Drinks: beer, saki, margaritas, water Food: salad, shrimp appetizer, shrimp fried rice, shrimp soup, and several rolls Our server was kind, but new. She was attentive and moved quickly. She let us know that they were short staffed (I'm assuming due to the holiday) but that she'd get our orders as quickly as they came up. And she did!!!! I wish I could remember her name, but I remember that she was 18 (only shared because she couldn't make alcohol recommendations), African-American with braids. My salad was fresh and flavorful. Really everything was delicious!!!! The drinks were priced fairly and we enjoyed them all. It was a good experience. Even with the short staff, our waitress keep us very comfy so I appreciate that. The table behind us did not have that experience with a different sever so I'm very grateful for her attentiveness. Will definitely be back.

w Three of us walked in without a reservation and were seated at a high top near the door. There was a good crowd and most tables were filled. We ordered our drinks and an appetizer to start. Those came out quickly but the three sushi rolls took 30+ minutes and when we ordered three more, we had to wait another 30 minutes. The rolls were great but because of the understaffing, we felt disappointed in the evening.

Food is sad. I wasn't expecting much from an ayce but their sushi taste the same as the ones on buffet counters. You can go down the road to an Ayce sushi/hamachi for the same price and have more variety and better tasting food

The staff was friendly and helpful, but I just do not like imitation crab when I prefer to go out for sushi. I just think they need to step up a little to keep up with newer restaurants in the area.

We went late and there was absolutely no one there. Not a good sign. Service was good but food was very mediocre. I will not be going back. There are too many choices around for sushi.
