Ra Sushi Bar Restaurant

It's a shame that the service here is so bad, because the sushi and starters are so good. I have eaten here when it's busy and when it's not, and the service is always extremely slow. You have to constantly wave down the servers. I actually had to wait 20 minutes for my bill on a recent visit. I personally won't be back any time soon. I'll just have to find another sushi spot.

The restaurant itself is lively and picturesque, but the food is below average. I've been to many sushi restaurants all through-out California, but Ra did not strike me as anything amazing. To be honest, I've been to buffets that serve better sushi than Ra. I've heard of getting what you pay for in terms of food, but here you will not see that rule applicable. You will get a rich and divine atmosphere, but the quality of food is very poor (pieces will fall apart as you try to eat them; the sushi's shape is rectangular and barely holding shape due to lack of structural integrity, the flavor escapes you and all you can taste is the unflavored rice.

I will not return to this place, even if I am invited by friends.

I've been to this place twice and both times were disasters. The first time I went for dinner, the wait time for our food was ridiculously long considering that there were only about 3 other tables being served at the time. From reading the menu, their rolls sound really exotic with all these exciting ingredients...the results were just overpriced mediocre plain rolls with fancy names. I couldn't really taste half the ingredients they listed in the sushi roll descriptions.

The second time I went there was for happy hour. It started off bad from the beginning. It took about 10mins before someone actually came to wait on us. It took another 10 mins for our drinks to come and then we were in for the REAL WAIT for the food. We just ordered simple tuna rolls (just tuna inside with rice) off the happy hour menu. Finally when we saw our rolls coming out 20 minutes AFTER our drinks, we were shocked to see them served to the table next to us. The ppl at the table looked confused too since they were done eating, so we told the server that it was probably our order and the stupid waitress waved off our comment and just left the food there!! So we told our waitress, she insincerely apologized and said our food was almost ready. The food came out 10 minutes later...if i knew i was going to wait an hour for 2 tuna rolls, I definitely would never have gone there. It wasn't even on the house! We were charged for everything without even an apology.

DO NOT WASTE your money!!!

Thank God, there's a sushi restaurant that rocks! We have been waiting for a long time for RA to come to Torrance. If you want great sushi, drinks, service and atmosphere go to RA in the Del Amo Fashion Square. Their unique rolls kept me entertained with an impressive bite every time. I have a soft spot for Sake and their own personal brand is excellent. I would recommend this to anyone who has a craving for sushi and fun.

If you are going with friends to hang out, I recommend this place because of the atmosphere, but if you are going to have good sushi... this is not a good place.
First of all, I took my wife to sushi bar, and sushi man wasn't very nice, and sushi wasn't fresh at all. In fact me and my wife woke up at night and had funny feeling in stomach. I am a sushi lover so I know the good sushi and bad sushi.
Also, we found dead fly inside of sake bottle and still got charged fully.
I liked the roll and tempura, but not sushi.
If you like teriyaki or roll, you might like the place.
