Ra Sushi is a good spot for drinking and hanging out during their popular happy hours. However, their sushi is highly Americanized and they have on-going problems with fish quality. On at least two occasions, I've had tuna there as chewy as gum. Their prices are also very high, even for basic items like miso soup (I think they have the priciest--and most watered down--miso soup in the IE). Servers tend to have an attitude. I live right around the corner so even though we don't like it, we periodically cave in and eat there or get take out. Eighty percent of the time we get take out, they forget to put ginger and wasabi in with the sushi, which drives me crazy. The little extra effort to get to Zip Fusion around the corner is definitely worth it. I also recommend Sushi Kawa and Sushi Momo--both much less of a scene, but far better sushi.
Pros: Lively happy hour
Cons: Service with an attitude, poor sushi quality, inauthentic menu
