Gambler's Roll. Go for it.
Checked out RAW Sushi in Elk Grove and this place absolutely delivers from start to finish.
From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere sets the tone—upscale, modern, and intentional. The lighting, the deep blue accents, and the beautifully designed sushi bar with its illuminated marble finish give off a high-end, city sushi lounge vibe that feels more like LA or Vegas than your typical neighborhood spot. It’s the kind of place that instantly feels perfect for date night, celebrations, or just treating yourself to a great meal at the bar.
The cocktail program deserves its own shoutout. Thoughtfully crafted drinks that actually complement the food and elevate the experience—not just pretty, but well-balanced and memorable. This is easily a place you could come for drinks alone and still have a great time.
Now the food—outstanding.
We started with Dante’s Inferno, and wow. Seared sesame tuna paired with tempura jalapeños that bring just the right amount of heat. Bold, exciting, and the perfect way to wake up your palate. Then came the Salmon Bomb, which balanced things beautifully—torch-seared salmon, rich crab mix, scallions, chili powder, garlic chips, and tobiko coming together in a smooth, savory bite that felt indulgent without being overpowering.
The nigiri platter was where the quality really shined. Clean cuts, incredibly fresh fish, and simple preparation that lets the ingredients speak for themselves. You can tell this kitchen respects the craft.
And the finale—the Golden Surf Roll—was next-level. Lobster tempura, snow crab, mango, topped with seared A5 Wagyu, micro cilantro, and chili paste. It’s bold, creative, and somehow still balanced. One of those rolls that makes you pause after the first bite because you know you’re eating something special.
Even the small details stand out—like the poker chip touch tied to the nearby Sky River Casino. Fun, clever, and adds personality without feeling gimmicky.
Bottom line: RAW Sushi isn’t just about great sushi—it’s about the full experience. Impeccable service, stunning ambiance, top-tier cocktails, and food that clearly comes from passion and precision. Easily one of the best sushi experiences in the area and a place we’ll be coming back to.
Highly recommend. 🚨🍣🔥

Very slow service! We didn’t get our food until 30-40 mins . We always follow up. Not coming back also overpriced and food is mid.

Club vibes with pretty good sushi but they are on the expensive side.
Great for a date or a group of friends. Definitely not for family or if you just want sushi.
Very loud music. Service is a hit or miss.
Kitchen was backed up and one entree didn't come out until everyone was finished. Waiter made it up with free mochi but that was an awkward experience.

It's my first time here. On the high end side, this place is beautiful. We celebrated our friend's birthday today. The waitress worked so hard and they're understaffed. She still did a good job. I ordered the Agedashi Tofu. It's soft and absorbed the sauce. Delicious! I also ordered Miso soup and Prawn Tempura. The tempura was a little salty, but not so bad.

First time here and it’s really nice inside. Was a bit unsure as I walked in the lobby as I didn’t expect to see other businesses in the building but once inside the restaurant it’s really nice. Food was good, staff were friendly. Atmosphere seems fun and lively.
Will have to come back here again.

We went to Raw Sushi bar to celebrate our friends wedding anniversary. We went for dinner on August 8 around 6:30 PM. We had a reservation for four people. We had to wait a few minutes as they got a table ready.
We had a lovely waitress who was super attentive, and we were even more excited to have her as it was her birthday. We laughed with her each time she came to our table to check on us.
The food was very good overall - I will apologize now, I cannot for the life of me remember the names of the rolls we got. The one call out was that two of the rolls, because the other two had a sauce either on them or in them, were a bit dry in comparison to the others. All of them had fresh ingredients, were made aesthetically pleasing, and each individual had their own favorite roll.
I would definitely go back and try some of the other items they had.

Went there yesterday and was overall impressed by their food and service. It looked like there was a lack of staff on the day but we still got excellent service. Our server was great and gave us good recommendations on the rolls. The food took a bit long to arrive but tasted great, I recommend getting the dante's inferno roll if you can handle the spice. The bus boy was also really helpful, we asked him to get many things and he was always there to help. Definitely gonna come back soon!
