Ra Sushi

We love sushi. We love trying new sushi places. And we love Ra.

The space itself is cool. We stopped in on a Sunday afternoon, when business was slow and service was fast. However, I'm sure that this place is very busy (and probably very fun) on a Saturday night. I could see this being an awesome place for a party or an after-party.

We started with edamame and some very good sashimi. Everything was fresh and well-prepared.

The real standout, however, was the crispy spicy tuna. These tasty little babies took a while to cook, but the wait was worth it.



It's a spicy tuna mix served over fried rice balls with a spicy-sweet chili soy sauce. Everything on the plate worked well together and had a purpose. They tasted like sesame, hot chilis, fish and deep-fried wonderful. I could honestly eat these all day, but they (thankfully) limit the portion sizes so that you leave feeling satisfied and not over-full. Otherwise I could easily see myself rolling out of there.
