RA Sushi Bar Restaurant San Diego CA

This is beginning to be our local sushi bar favorite. We missed happy hour, but ordered our favorite dishes anyways - Fried Calamari (big and juicy! - not tiny, breaded calamari), vegetable and the awesome Vegas Roll. This time we tried other sushi rolls, like the vegetable roll (healthy good), Lobster Roll and tried the Ra lipop sushi (amazing). My daughter ordered the Chirashi bowl and we all agreed there was too much sushi rice and small pieces of sashimi - price was a bit high for what she got. We loved the dressing for the vegetable roll so much, we asked and received a small to go container of it to go with our leftover sushi. We all shared the sashimi salad, which was a bit on the skimpy side of sashimi bits, but was still delish. I ordered the green tea (hot) since we were sitting outside and it was a bit cloudy. It was very good. My daughter got the strawberry lemonade drink. Next time, we'll try to make it during happy hour so I can try more of their signature drinks.

Our service was a bit slow considering there weren't many people dining when we sat, but after we ordered, everything came out at once...which is what we wanted since we were starving! Our waiter did ask us if we wanted things to come out slower, but we say no way..bring it!

We parked in structure this time which was a bit crowded probably from all the movie goers but find it a relatively safe place to park. I think a bit more descriptions or pictures of specialty sushi would be helpful in deciding what kinds we would want to try. Just listing a few ingredients didn't make the menu very appealing. Maybe some table tents of "try this sushi or drink" would be more helpful. I can't believe this place doesn't have more customers. I also think the music should be more dj like and current pop music. I like the "old school" music, but my daughter was commenting that more younger crowd might enjoy the current stuff.
