If you are a big fan of sushi, like my wife and I are, then you will always be on the prowl for the next great sushi joint. I frequently will try and find some great sushi restaurants to eat at, and unfortunately, they happen to be, in my experience, few and very far between. However, once in a while I have the distinct pleasure of dining at a sushi restaurant that truly sets itself apart from all of the rest of them. That notion rings entirely true when it comes to eating fish at RA Sushi Restaurant and Bar in Chandler, Arizona.

The Interior is Truly Amazing
The interior is really a sight for the eyes. Decadent booths made from satin and high-grade leather make a very comfortable seating arrangement, and the same is true for their tables, which feature normal chairs with the same materials. The sushi bar wraps around the entire interior and you can watch as master sushi chefs hand prepare the meal that you just ordered; and you can see the different fresh cuts of sushi in the bar through the bar glass. The interior is dimly lit and features a custom radio broadcast that is non-stop and commercial-free music created just for RA; the atmosphere is delightful and fun.

The Service is Quick and Friendly
The place is very large inside, and once a friendly hostess seats you, you will not have to wait very long for your drink order to be placed and the specials to be explained to you. They have a lot of employees, and the service is quick, reliable and friendly. They definitely earn their tips at RA sushi. 

Their Fish is Delivered Fresh Daily, in Water
Their fish is of the very finest and freshest cuts available, and you can tell this by how good that it tastes. Their sushi cuts are delivered fresh in water every day, some of the fish is still alive when it arrives at RA (like Toro). Basically, you will be eating the very highest quality and freshest fish as possible when dining here.

You Will not Find Better Sushi or Selection
Their menu is rather large. They always have something or another on special, and they have ample amounts of sushi rolls that they make, nearly one hundred. You can also request specialty rolls that they will make to order, for the right price of course. And they have all of the classics like Las Vegas Rolls, and Tootsie Rolls, or my favorite, Lava Rolls.

My Rating: **** Four Stars for: Menu selection, atmosphere, service and friendliness, presentation of the sushi, freshness of the fish, location, prices and beer selection.

My Opinion: This is a great sushi house for those of you who love these fishy treats. However, if you are not dining here during happy hour, be prepared to pay for it. I ate there with my wife and spent about $120 with tip, we order six items, plus one appetizer and we each had a few drinks. Go during happy hour and you can easily slice the price of dining here in half.
