Me and my husband been there many times we
was there last Friday, the food was good we spend about $187.27 and we leave the tips $12.73 to make $200 even,a few day later I check my statement to I saw they charging us $217.27 on my account. Which means they put extra $17.27 ,the tip I leave $12.73 =$30 even, I call them to get explain and it a mistake maybe they has the same amount and put in wrong amount it doesn’t make sense for me why. I own the restaurant too and I know how to put tip money end of day like. I was disappointed and I will not going back, better check your statement and take the receipt.

Every new friend or out of town guest we have brought in to dine here has left extremely impressed and happy and cannot wait to return. It’s been my favorite restaurant for over a decade and remains so at the new location!

Tried to go here for sushi, but they wouldn't seat us without a reservation. The tables and bar were empty. The staff was extremely rude and pretentious. Will definitely not be back, was a waste of time and gas to drive here. Went to a much better and more friendly sushi restaurant.

I’ve eaten a lot of sushi, grew up in Japan, been to Nobu/Katana/good omakase places. The sushi here is pretty good and the fish (aside from the non wild caught salmon from Faroe Islands) is high quality.

That being said, the service was really weird. We came 10 minutes before our reservation (5:50). We were able to order miso soup and we received this in 15 minutes. We had a vegetarian at the table and she ordered some veggie rolls. Around 30 minutes later, they started bringing the rolls one by one spaced 15 minutes apart. The issue is that they only brought out the.vegetarian rolls, leaving everyone else at the table very hungry. I’ve sliced fish and made my own sushi before and I can assure you that it doesn’t take 45 minutes to slice some fish. We only got our food after we complained and the servers were passive aggressive and quite rude after we told them. One of the servers let us know that it’s a 2 hour “dining experience.” Some of us didn’t receive food until the second hour. Make it make sense.

Incredible food. This is my all-time favorite restaurant and you can’t beat the fresh/sustainably sourced ingredients, amazing drink/sake menu and kind staff. I would give them 10 stars if I could!

Not the cheapest spot in the county for dinner, but one of the two best places to take your picky urban foodie guests for a meal. This place is better than many big city sushi restaurants, and is far less expensive than their big city rivals.

Quite a few vegetarian options, good wine list (and there is a grocery store next door, so they aren't likely to run out!), good service, average ambiance, great food.

Really about the only "complaint" is that you need to make reservations. If you decide today you want sushi there tonight you may be out of luck. But that it just a testament to how this place is EXCELLENT and a good value for what it is, and small.

Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian and vegan options. Multiple vegetarian sections on the menu. And the veggie sushi is really delicious and flavorful! It's not just a single cucumber in a roll like the veg option at most sushi places I've been to.

Once again, Sushi in the Raw exceeded our expectations. The Truffle Sashimi is out-of-this-Universe delicious, the Susan Roll can’t be beat, and the fish heads are unbelievably yummy. Our server Maddie was delightful, attentive and knowledgeable. This is the best sushi restaurant in our area. Don’t leave without purchasing a bottle of the Susan Sauce! You won’t regret it!

NEVER disappoints.Don’t come often because they’re almost an hour away, but it is ALWAYS worth the trip.Freshest fish, and a nice balance of traditional sushi with some new school rolls.Another thing I really appreciate is when their rolls have a sauce, the sauce is mainly smeared on the platter or in a dish, instead of drenching the roll, allowing you to choose how saucy you want your bite to be.

Sushi in the Raw delivers masterfully crafted dishes with excellent service. Every dish is unique and finds a way to mix a broad range of tastes perfectly. The presentation and quality are unmatched by any other sushi restaurant in the area. Be prepared to throw down if you want the full experience, and make sure to book your reservation ahead of time. Ensure you set aside about 2 hours for dinner service.
