The food was so good and so perfectly balanced. The âspicyâ labeled selections had the perfect amount of heat. Sometimes when Iâve had a raw maki roll at other sushi places it feels chewy and you canât get over the idea of it being raw. That was not the case here! I enjoyed everything so much! The service was fantastic and we got amazing recommendations!
Food is very good and creative. There were several items that were not available (which is not uncommon these days). I gave a 4 star instead of 5 due to the extremely loud noise level (even for a week night). Also, not due to the fault of our server who was good, but since she was the only one, service was very slow.
Great place in the neighborhood for great sushi and great service. The chef even made a special request roll! While we were there our waiter raced out the door to return a forgotten credit card to another customer. Super nice!
The fish isn't fresh at all! When I first started going to Raisu (pre pandemic) the quality was fine, however I've gone a few times this year and was disappointed every time. I really wanted this place to be good because it's close to my house.Update: My last visit was on July 7th at 6pm. We started with the edamame. It was overcooked and the soybeans were hard. Finally, we ordered 9 pieces of nigiri. The fish was soft and had an odd smell. The rice was also hard. After tasting the nigiri we decided to get the check and go to another sushi restaurant.
Raisu never disappoints!
Amazing food. Just like every other sushi restaurant itâs very pricey, but they have a wide variety of options ranging from affordable to expensive. I recommend the bluefin if moneys not an issue!
Our second visit. Just as amazing as first. I'm sure of many more visits to come.Amazingly fresh sushi. Melt in your mouth. Great appetizers: we had the golden calamari and the tuna tartare. We then had three rolls: spider maki, spicy tuna maki, and unagi maki. We ended with a signature roll Tornado.
