   We were greeted by a lovely hostess who even asked if we were a three generation. She showed us our table and asked if it was okay or we could sit anywhere else. She was cheerful and so kind. Out waiter greeted us and he was fine. The rest of the evening was on slow motion. Upon receiving our first drink we waited for everything ordered much longer than normal. Luckily the hostess brought us low sodium soy sauce so we could enjoy our sushi. The food was fresh and quite good, although the thickness of sushi ran on the smaller end. We finally found our waiter and were able to order our second drink. Drinks came and five minutes later the beer glasses arrived. We received the check but still wanted dessert. The fried ice cream was fabulous! It should have been suggested because it was a real winner.

   My waiter was not personable at all and not attentive. We never got a water refill or food that was order and constantly asked for. The restaurant was not busy. If I came back and had him as a waiter again I would leave. It was not what I expected on my birthday.

   Great food but seemed understaffed when we were there on a Tuesday night. It was very hot and stuffy. I also made a note about my partner's birthday in the reservation but it seemed like too busy a place to honor those requests. It was a small gripe, since we still had a great time and enjoyed the food.

   This place has gone downhill! We needed the ramp which has a call/send button to the hostess. No one responded until I went up to inform someone. Once we checked in, we waited 20 min after our reservation time to be seated, and had to get our own high chair. The plates were dirty and had grease marks and fingerprints on them. We sat several times with empty water glasses, and overall service was lacking in a major way. The food was decent but not great. This will probably be the last time I visit, especially with so many better options in Baltimore.

   The waitress was awesome. The food meat portion quantities are for toddlers not adults. We saw it all when a MOUSE ran across the floor into the men's restroom and scared my co-worker. The ladies room is dirty and disgusting. The food makes several co-workers sick. The manager could only authorize $10 off our bill. Since my co-workers became ill. I'm going back for a full refund!!!

    The food was excellent but the service was incredibly slow. The only redeeming factor was that our server correctly got our entire in during happy hour and we paid happy hour prices. The tables were also incredibly close together and we were bumping the people seated behind us.

    Ended up walking out from our table. Under staffed, took 15 minute past reservation to get seated. Once seated, no one came to ask for drinks etc. dirty, out dated decor. Walked to Azumi and had exceptional service and food.

    While I think our waiter said he was new, he did the best he could and that wasn’t much of a problem. We had to wait a while for him a few times but we saw that he was really busy. I got the Hibachi filet mignon and lobster, about 45 minutes after I ordered. It wasn’t hot, not cold but not hot. It was decent but in no way shape or form worth $43! My friend really enjoyed the pineapple cream cheese fried wontons and her salmon burrito. The salmon poke bowl she ordered was good she said too much sauce on it and too sweet. I’ve been to RA a few times in the past and found it worth it. This time was lacking. We were not greeted at all by the hostess. The place was hopping, so business seems to be booming. Will think twice before I go again.

    The ambiance was nice, drinks and sushi was nice, but the food was in my opinion not the best. I order two different meals and the were both unsatisfactory. I tasted everyone at my table's food and still was not pleased.

    Overall it was an OK dinner but the one thing that my girlfriends and I were not a huge fan of was the service our server was not super attentive and the hostess waited a long time to see us or even acknowledge us when we first walked in. as for sushi a lot of their menu special rolls are deep-fried and have cream cheese in them which I don’t mind every once in a while but there should be a few all raw rolls on the menu so I wish they would’ve had more of a raw variety. but the rolls that I did order the surf and turf and a yellowtail Ponzu roll were very good!

    Over the years that it has been open, Ra Sushi has not carried the same standard that it once had. The server started off on a good note. My sister didn't understand the menu and she ordered raw Salmon and said that she wanted to order something different. The manager, I guess, came over and took her order at 8:45ish for a different entre. My food came out quick and so did my husband's food. We ordered another round of drinks and waited. Now it is 9:30p and my sister's entre is still not out. We flagged down our server, I felt like he was avoiding us, and asked about our drinks and her entre. He gave some excuse about the large number of take out orders etc. Honestly, I do not care about that...manage it better! Finally her food comes out, the order that the supposed manager placed, comes to the table and the order is incorrect. She asks for the drinks that we never received and a to-go container. At this point, we've been here since 7:45p and it is close to 10p. I am disappointed because this was her birthday dinner and she is still hungry! Before we leave at 10pm, I go to the bathroom. I do not believe that it had been cleaned in 2 weeks. There were mouse and rat droppings on the floor of the stalls. The sinks were rusted and chipped (how does that even happen) and the light fixtures were dusty and falling apart. Back to the dining room... THE WALLS WERE DIRTY. Was there a food fight? I do not know how that is even possible. The plaster on the walls were also very damaged, again leading me to believe that there was an incident in the restaurant. Overall, this was a truly disappointing night especially since our tab was over $200. So we paid $200 for disappointment and disgust.

    I'm a sushi snob and this trendy decor restaurant does a fair job of blending many things while doing none of them really well. Prices were reasonable. Sushi options were fair until you asked for something off menu. Staff were all friendly and in this time of worker shortage, fairly well staffed. I attribute the service level to a lack of training rather than a lack of bodies. Probably too much turnover. Will go again if someone suggests but not my first choice.

    Came here for a first date and it was a pretty good date spot. Ordered a bottle of cold apple sake which was tasty, chicken skewers for appetizer and two sushi rolls. Food was good, drinks were good, and price was good. Definitely coming back (especially to give the happy hour a try!)

    Where should I begin- After being seated by the hostess, we sat for 10-15 minutes before our waiter greeted us (a table of 4). We received our appetizers the same time our meals came out. I had to send my dinner plate back to the kitchen twice due to the food being cold. Our waiter did not come back regularly to refill drinks. We waited so long that I had to go to the bar to ask for a pitcher of water for the table and walk it back myself. The waiter also did not remember to bring our second appetizer of Vegetable Tempura, out until all of our meals were completed. If you are spending $200+ at a place that you believe is reputable for their food and service, and get treated worse than you would’ve been at a fast food chain. Something is not right here.

    I only give it a three because the food took so long. Our waiter explained there was a birthday party going on but it still took a long time. Cameron was amazing and did the best he could but if it were faster, the rating would be better.

    We sat in the bar area at the high tops. The waitress litterally talking to two tables as if she was friend's with them. We didn't even get drinks for at least 20 min after being seated. She claimed she thought we left which was the reason she was so late getting to us.We ordered everything at once litterally to avoid waiting longer.Then we watched her go back to the tables and conversate more which added another 15 min for our food to be placed in the system.. Overall, we won't be going back anytime soon. The service has definitely went down.The place is mismanaged

    RA sushi isn’t what it used to be. The service was really great and our server was such a nice guy. The food was brought out fast and all at once. The wonton appetizer was close to burnt. The rolls were mediocre at best. We ordered the chili shrimp roll and had to send it back because of how bad it tasted and how it was not what we previously had. Overall, a place I once used to love is decreasing in quality even though the service was good.

    We have been going to Ra since it opened in baltimore years ago. The portions have shrunk, the quality has fallen drastically. I do not understand how you change a menu item, call it the same and charge more. The bathrooms were on the level of a gas station, disgusting. Most likely will never return.

    RA used to be our favorite go-to sushi place, pre-pandemic. They had incredible specialty sushi rolls. This was our first visit back to RA post-pandemic, and boy has the menu changed. The specialty rolls are mostly made with the fake krab, intertwined with cream cheese and some other stuff. Very few true specialty sushi rolls, (fake krab is not sushi) and the rolls we had just didn't have very much taste. We ordered a specialty cocktail and was told it would be an hour before more of the puree would be ready.....really?? On a positive note, our waiter was awesome, and the music wasn't blaring. Won't be going back for a while.

    Service was poor and slow despite the place being nearly empty. Lots of employees eating fast food next to us while we waited 10 minutes for someone to come to our table. Sushi rolls all fell apart. Not the RA I remember. Wouldn’t come back.
