Came here with some friends for a casual lunch on a Saturday and, despite being a literal 30 second walk from Times Square, it was surprisingly empty! There were tons of menu options and the happy hour specials looked excellent. I had the black pepper teriyaki wings and cucumber avocado roll, both of which were good. They didn’t blow me away or anything but it was still enjoyable! My boyfriend also enjoyed his poke bowl. Quick service and solid food, although maybe a bit overpriced for what you get. Overall though I would come back!

Me and a friend stopped in this restaurant for lunch. When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked in and was greeted and sat at a booth. Levi was our server and he was nice! We had the tasting menu and we ordered: Spritz Up Your Life Old Fashioned Garlic Edamame Ra ckin Shrimp shrimp Tempura roll Ra ckin Roll Sake Flight Hibachi Filet mignon and chicken Seafood Udon Toasted Cheesecake Chocolate Brownie The food and drinks were so good! My favorite was the Udon! All in all an amazing experience!

Went here for a dinner date with my boyfriend before walking around Times Square. We got the Titanic Roll and Spicy Tuna Maki roll, and they were superbbb. It seems like they typically take resverations, but we walked in and they sat us immediately regardless with excellent service. The chips and salsa were amazing with a twist to the salsa. It’s a little on the pricier end, so keep that in mind. However, they have amazing menu options and mocktails are tasty and great! For the price, the sushi, atmosphere, and service is definitely worth it.

Visiting NYC with my son and bestie. We decided to grab sushi and went to RA as it was close to our hotel in Times Square. The food was delicious. The drinks were crafty and tasty. Our server, Nicole, was so sweet and helpful. She helped my vegetarian friend find safe choices on the menu, and was perfectly attentive. Somehow, she always knew when we needed something and appeared like a magic fairy. It was such a good experience that we will likely return before our trip is over.

Went to restaurant during vacation for New Years 2026. Restaurant was nice. Food was ok. got the Filet and Chicken and Chicken Teriyaki. Filet and Chicken dish meats were dry and flavorless. Teriyaki was much better. Sushi was good. Waitress was excellent and service was great.

RA Sushi in Times Square is a lively and vibrant spot that makes sushi fun! The atmosphere is upbeat with a modern, energetic vibe—perfect for a night out with friends or a casual date. The menu is full of creative rolls and fresh sushi, and the cocktails are inventive and well-crafted. I tried the miso Chilean seabass roll (if available) and a few signature rolls—everything was flavorful and beautifully presented. Service was friendly and attentive, though the place can get a bit noisy during peak hours. Overall, it’s a great option if you want high-quality sushi with a fun, social atmosphere in the heart of the city. I’d definitely come back, especially for happy hour specials!

My drink of choice was the strawberry seduction for $17. It was really good, just wish the drink was bigger. I ordered the fried steak bowl for $19 and added shrimp. Each shrimp was $1, so you can choose how many shrimp you would like to add. The fried rice now was good. It was a bit on the dry side, so I asked for some soy sauce. The hibachi there is really expensive starting at $40 a plate, but they don’t cook the food in front of you. I would most definitely go back during Happy Hour.

we made a 6:30 reservation because friends had an 8:00 show. We were not seated until 6:47 --a theater district restaurant should honor reservation times. one we were seated we waited 30 MINUTES for water. The server was terrible. she took the order from two of us and then got distracted and walked away without taking the third person's order - we had to run after her to get her to come back to the table. And then she was basically absent the rest of the meal -- never checking in. TERRIBLE SERVICE!!!! The food, however, was quite tasty. But there are plenty of sushi restaurants in NYC with good food and good service. I will not return to Ra Sushi.

I don’t often leave reviews, but I’m still losing sleep over the value of this dinner so I need to warn someone else. Overall the food was pretty good, sushi rolls were tasty, hibachi was good, drinks seemed a little weak but tasted good. But overall I would say everything was…. Unremarkable. And I suppose it’s NYC and near times sq, across from the lyric theater, so prices are going to be a bit high. But I think this might be the most expensive dinner I’ve ever bought, and it tasted just like any other regular sushi place around. Nothing that made us think, wow this is high-end. Same little chopsticks you tear out of the paper and break apart, 1 large dining area with tons of tables stuck close together… I know, it’s self induced, the prices are on the menu, and we ordered a fair amount of stuff… but a pre-show dinner for two: 1 appetizer, 1 small soup, 3 sushi rolls, 1 hibachi dinner, 2 drinks and 1 beer, after 18% tip = $283. Coulda gone to our local spot like 3-4 times for the same meal… anyway, if this sounds like a totally reasonable price to you, then come give it a try! Maybe I’m just out of the tax bracket of most clientele.

Super disappointing experience. The food was subpar. Presentation was subpar. The service was subpar. It took over 10 minutes just to get a side of sauce. Employees were nowhere to be found for about 20 minutes during our dinner. The floor was completely empty with no service for the longest time, even though there was only four customers in the restaurant. We wanted to sit at a table and they said no because it was closed and then 10 minutes later they sat a different family there. Overpriced and not at all enjoyable. Would not recommend.
