RA Sushi Bar Restaurant, Tucson AZ

One of the better sushi bars in Tucson the Poke tacos are absolutely without question one of the best items on the menu
I love their wings as an appetizer and prefer to order all three of the options for sauce on the side to dip the wings naked into I believe this is the best option and presentation of both of their ability to cook chicken and present sauce that has personality and they don't let you down in either regard

I had a lovely late lunch here on Christmas Eve with my brother!
The food was delicious and it will definitely be one of my favorite Japanese spots to hit up in Tucson whenever I'm in town!

It's spacious, clean and aesthetic inside of the restaurant. There's a modern yet traditional feel at the same time to it and the dark ambiance gives off a great vibe.
There's also outdoor seating available, although it was cloudy on the day that we went.

Service was very friendly and efficient. They quickly took our order and had the drinks out. The food all followed shortly after!
I LOVED the garlic edamame! Perfectly seasoned and tasted amazing! I also loved my poke bowl. My brother got some teriyaki yakisoba and thoroughly enjoyed it and devoured the plate as well!

I was thoroughly pleased and impressed with this meal! I will be sure to return whenever I am looking for an Asian restaurant in the Tucson area to go to!

Happy hour deals are great on both food and drinks. The bao buns were toasted rather than steamed which was odd and the gyoza lacked flavour (no ginger/chilli/cilantro).

Went here on date night the Manager was really mean to us Sat us down to where the waitress and bartender come out of asked for other table I thought my food was going to fall from the wobble table. Not cool at all

This place is great. It was a little on the expensive side but the food was worth it. Great for a date night. We had the Hot Mess for an appetizer, followed up with a Dragon Roll and a Tako to me Roll which were all amazingly delicious. I had to try their Ramen before we left and had the Spicy Garlic Chilli Ramen which I thought was going to be a little spicier than it was but it was definitely as tasty if not more so than the pictures looked.

Cucumbers in a California Roll? And I don't think these are shrimp rolls. No. Otherwise, it was good, happy hour sake, $3, miso soup, and fried zucchini a good value, the edamame less so.

Update- the management react quickly to a review but are quick to ignore the criticism in a mixed review.

I love RA! I enjoy happy hour and lunch the most. I always get really good food at a great price. At lunch I tend to get the bento box (chicken teriyaki is my favorite). At happy hour I enjoy a variety of sushi and other options offered at great prices. The food is fresh and the service is great? ?

Just OK, mediocre food (gyoza cold, teriyaki sauce without flavor, salad grossly overdressed.). Great, friendly service

One of the best sushi places in Tucson, especially for late night dinners. Order the Garlic Sesame Wings, highly recommended.

I came here one night for a late dinner. The service was great, but it wasn't personally my style. It was a bit expensive for very little selection, and a pretty small quantity of food, which I suppose is how the upper class like it. I do appreciate the customer service, and I'm sure there's many people that would love it here, it's just not middle class and lower class friendly. To be fair though, it is at La Encantada mall, so it's expected to be more of an upscale place with upscale prices.

This is a lovely place to come and have a cocktail or some sushi! I would highly recommend sitting out on the patio if the weather is nice as they have a great view of the mountains beside the restaurant. They have a good selection of Asian dishes and a good assortment of cocktails. Their happy hour is great for appetizers and cocktails. I would highly recommend checking out this place if you like sushi! They have a great staff, a clean restaurant and very good food!

Went out with my wife here after window shopping the menus of a few restaurants in La Encantada. My wife got a variety of sushi but was very happy to see Uni offered and said it and all the sushi was wonderful. I got the Salmon teriyaki as I haven't seen that offered elsewhere and it was very good. We shared some shrimp tempura and some fried tofu. (Please note I'm not listing exact menu names as Autocorrect gets mad at me if I do). To wrap I got some cinnamon tempura ice cream which was amazing!

Great service and ambience. The food was decent but a bit overzealous. The flavor combinations were either delicious or strange. It may just be me but simple nigiri and rolls are better than all the flash and pizzazz they attempt. The RAchin roll was good but had so much avocado that it made it slightly too rich. The Dragon roll was delicious, and the viva Las Vegas roll was good but presentation wise could have been refined a bit more. The sashimi was fresh and delicious.

Worst pepper steak I can remember. Ordered it medium, came out very rare and sent it back, came back burnt and charred black. Sashimi not as fresh as i remembered it. Fair pricing.great Happy hour. Skip the food, order drinks at happy hour.

My mother definitely enjoyed her food but my dad and I had the same plate and it wasn't great. My mother tried mine and did not like it either. The waiter was great though.

Great Service, Great Sushi, Great Atmosphere! This place is not "cheap" but compared to other sushi places it certainly is not overpriced. The quality of the food is superb and the new RA'CKIN roll and rice are amazing. We go at least once a year even though it's over an hour drive for us but the food and atmosphere are so pleasant we always come back. Service is almost always good but the place can get busy so just keep that in mind. The presentation is phenomenal and the flavors are bold. If you havent tried this place and like sushi, it's a must and we much prefer this restaurant over some popular alternatives in Tucson.

We have had so many wonderful date nights here that we can't help but making this spot a regular place to go. Always delicious and enjoyable.

I had the seared tuna and the breaded shrimp. Breaded shrimp was nothing special.

The seared tuna was meaty fresh not stinky and was seared for a few seconds. I was very surprised with the quality of tuna. In fact, I wouldn't even serve it with a sauce. The seared tuna flavor was dynamic enough to enjoy all by itself.

2 words: bento boxes. Excellent for lunch, plenty to fill you up, and good variety at a reasonable price

RA sushi is always a hit with me. I particularly enjoy the reverse happy hour specials and selection. They consistently have very fresh sushi. I order the Viva Las Vegas Roll every time I dine at RA as it is definitely one of my favorites. I forgot to add photos this time but will be back within a week or so for my birthday, and I will make sure to take and upload several high quality photos. Thank you for reading!
