Worst Sushi experience ever!

by wolfieblue

If this is a four star restaurant then someone should kick me in the face. I sat at my table for over 20 minutes and didn't get so much as a glance from the waitress, or a glass of water. It was Sunday evening and the place was half empty, I can't comment on the food because they never got around to serving me and my guests. We walked out after waiting a half hour for someone to notice us. The interior decor is out dated and and stereotypical, I'm surprised they didn't have a karaoke machine, and a samurai hanging out at the bar. If your not into the frat boy scene don't go here. Skip this joint for sure.

• Pros: The weather was nice outside
• Cons: this place is stale, with terrible service

Was still good for bad Service

by Cass1988

If you are a stickler for service this may not be your cup of tea. I go frequently to Ra and i have disliked all my service. Slow, rude, and unattentive. I have gone about 12 times in the past 3 months and had many of different people but they wher all the same. The reason i still go their is that I LOVE their food. I just cant help it. No madder how long it takes i still want it. I love all of their rolls (and im picky). I love their appitizers. So i will bear the bad service just so i can eart another Las Vegas Roll.

GORGEOUS staff+ Slow service= Good for the eyes, not for the stomach...

by Godzuki24

The place is uber hip and that is an attraction. The staff is smoking hot- guys as well as dolls. The ambience is very cool and you can't help but feel like you are in the place to be. Unfortunately, the service in the place is AWFUL. Great looking servers who can't get anything right, or out on time is a shame. None of the sushi chefs are Japanese, let alone Asian. They work hard and do their best, but it simply is not sushi. The hot foods are bland and over sauced which is a shame as some of the menu items looked good on paper. Did I mention the staff is gorgeous? Well, by this point in your meal you don't care because the experience has travelled downhill at tremendous speed. Not to mention the crowd is pretty hot too. The manager heard several complaints including mine and offered my guest and I free drink coupons and free lunch coupons. Great, except I live in NYC!!! I told him I lived in NYC and that comping was not necessary. He said it was the least he could do?!?! So, the girls at the hotel got free drinks and lunches- I hope lunch service is faster.

Go for a drink and appetizer if you have a LOT of time. Avoid it for dinner as the service stinks and its just a bad sushi place.

• Pros: Gorgeous staff, nice ambience, location.
• Cons: Service, service, service
