Great Overall Sushi Experience 5 Star Rating - World class

I'm a chef and it takes alot to please me, but overall RA Sushi on state and elm did the best job yet. Nothing in particular blew me away but the combination of really good sushi ( traditional and experimental) plus really knowledgeable servers and awesome drink specials put the extra into extraordinary. The music is upbeat and it makes the place feel like a club without the sweating and long lines. I also feel obliged to point out to those afraid of sushi, the menu has alot of hot noodle dishes, soups, and other hot appetizers and entrees as well as dessert and vegetarian items. So theres no reason not to go to RA Sushi. Nice work guys.

Pros: everyday specials and validated parking
Cons: I don't live closer

You can get more for your money elsewhere 3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

The sushi's not bad, and neither is the ambience. But you can tell, some restaurants have that touch that distinguishes them from franchises. This restaurant dosn't have it. We went to their newest one in Lombard, and the sushi's not bad, but there are better, more ingenius sushi places than this one.

Pros: good decor, ok sushi
Cons: menu selection could be better

Grocery Store quality sushi 2 Star Rating - Wouldn't recommend

I can't believe RA gets so many good reviews. I went here on a date and was appalled. The sushi was either rubbery or mushy with no in between. The raw pieces were luke-warm and the cooked pieces were slightly cold. The one saving grace, our server was awesome! She was really sweet and took really good care of us. She even comped us a dessert becasue the sushi was so bad.
If you are used to grocery store quality sushi, RA is the place to go. Or you could save your money and just go to the grocery store. Your call.

Pros: Server was awesome. And the place was empty so we had our pick of tables
Cons: The food. Even the dessert wasn't good.

Need lunch on the run 5 Star Rating - World class

They have the best lunch specials! I was short on time and starving. They brought out my lunch promptly and it was delicious! Since I had such a great experience for lunch, I got some friends together and we went over for happy hour. Once again another excellent experience. Thanks RA for all of the fun and delicious sushi!

Pros: Fresh Sushi with great prices
