Awful service
by jdgtorres
1) No reservations, first come, first served.
2) 2.5 Hours wait. ( This is the first time - and last - for me to wait for 2.5 hours to get at table )
3) Staff attitude: The teenager-like hostess attitude left too much to be desired:" There is nothing we can do for you. You can 'wait until a table is free, or if you can, try to get a table on your own. If you want to leave, just let us know so we can cross you out of the waiting list."
4) Manager Attitude: " We need a credit card to serve your table' (?). That is our policy, and if you don't like it you can leave. - This is also a first: - Good restaurants ( Mortons, Capital Grille, Truluck's, etc ) NEVER ask for a credit card PRIOR serving. They assume you are a good customer and make sure you feel welcome.
In conclusion: it takes effort and time to write a review. More often than not, I don't write them. This time, the service was so bad and inconsiderate, that taking the time to let you guys know what is going on, was needed.
I will not go back to that restaurant. Please think about it before you decide to go.
- Cons: Mismanaged place, poor service, average food.
Excellent food and service
by j cooper
My husband and i have been going to Ra for about a couple of months now. The wait is long, but well worth it. Our first couple of experiences have been bad due to the service, almost wanting to ban Ra sushi, until this one waiter took care of us (Michael). He's really nice, never had to ask for anything as if he could read our minds. Never once ever had to wonder where my waiter was unlike most restaurants that we have been to. For those people who are having a hard time finding a sushi restaurant with fresh sushi and great service, go to RA. Make sure you ask for Michael though or else you might end up with a bad experience. Don't forget to take care of him as well : )
- Pros: food and service
- Cons: wait time
Good for happy hour drinks, terrible for food & conversation
by AWDriver
Very slow service, too over 30 minutes to get sushi. Had to ask where it was, at which point it suspiciously immediately appeared.
The next round was no faster. Took over 2 hours to be served two rounds, appetizers and nagiri...and not due to the leisurely pace of the eaters.
The displeasure felt was exasperated by the loud, bad music which made it difficult to talk, which is annoying if their service is so slow you're forced to sit there forever. Almost considered ditching and just leaving around enough money on the table.
Won't be back.
- Pros: Cheap happy hour drinks
- Cons: Slow service, small portions w/sushi, overpriced food, loud
I thought this place was suppose to be nice??

What happened to Rickshaw?
I heard all the rage about this place only to show up to an inner city club and dump
- Pros: nothing
- Cons: crowded and not enough staff
Don't Waste Your Time
by CindyLovett
The service at this place is rude, slow, and disorganized. Beware of giving your driver's license to the waiter: I took my boyfriend there on his birthday, we had TERRIBLE service, as the waiter kept forgetting things, and he took my boyfriend's license and lost it. The restaurant manager is rude and unwilling to compensate him in any way. Needless to say, we couldn't go out anywhere for drinks afterward, as he now has no license. Nice birthday! I want my money back, but of course I won't get it. I can get good sushi and good service at several other places, and that is what I will do, as well as the rest of my family and friends who used to frequent RA
- Pros: NONE
- Cons: See below

by CSMobileUser2

Good food, downright rude service
by CSMobileUser
My boyfriend and I went eat there and the food was very tasty, espcially the scallop roll thingy. But the waitress was really rude. I've worked in the service a good bit, so I know I'm not just being judgemental. She was rude and told us that we ordered too much food! She treated us like we were stupid the whole dinner and had a ugly attitude. My friend went about a month later and had just the same type
Of service
- Pros: Example: best croissants in town
- Cons: What are the drawbacks?
Great Fresh Sushi, Good Price, funny music
by sabrusley
I eat here once, twice a week. I was really shocked at the reviews. Yes, the service can be slow.. but typically its not bad. And the price? I spend way less here than Japanerios and other place in Sugarland, Katy. The Happy Hour is fantastic for good deals. Their Zonie, Tsunami, and Tunacado is a must for me once a week. Everyone in Houston seems to create menus where its fried, stuffed with cream cheese and swimming in some mayo sauce with little creativity with rolls that puts the fish center stage. I actually like the taste of fish and this place definitely showcases it with quality that can't be beat.
- Pros: Food, Music
- Cons: service can sometimes be slow
This cheesy place is only missing a velvet rope & a bouncer
by Texasgirl82
My friends and I can't stand this place. It tries WAY too hard to be hip. RA cares about image more than good service & quality food.
I have been more than once but last time I waited at a table 15 minutes before anyone even brought water. The server disappeared & returned 10 minutes later to take our drink order. It only got worse from there- and the place was never crowded. No excuse for poor service.
The sushi is terrible and overpriced. If I want headache-inducing music and a cheesy crowd, I'll go to a club, not RA- at least there I might be able to get a drink.
- Pros: NONE
- Cons: service, crowd, food, parking
