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!

Great location, just steps away from Times Square. The interior is stylish, and the red tones give the restaurant a really cool, vibrant atmosphere. The food was delicious and definitely worth trying — I would absolutely come back.
My only suggestion is about the music. The day I visited, there was a DJ playing, and while the music itself was good, I was expecting something a bit more in line with Japanese vibes — softer and more relaxing. The volume was also a bit too loud for my taste.
Overall, a great experience and a place I would definitely recommend.

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!

Superior atmosphere pairing with a perfect date night, girls night or business casual vibe. The music choice was great because of the live DJ. Our bartender Tiara had great menu recommendations. The GM Chris was walking around each table giving an even more personable experience to all of us. 10/10 can’t wait to come again.

There’s a reason why this place is empty during lunch…the food is mid to below. The sushi itself is great and fresh. The actual food such as miso soup and chicken hibachi burrito don’t have much flavor. It’s deft a place that prays on tourists. The fried sushi rolls are so deeply enriched in oil that all you taste is fried not even the fish. The server was nice and super attentive. He’s really personable and passionate. It’s one of those places where you think cause it’s a franchise that has upscale pricing you’re getting amazing quality so you believe the food is gonna be great and you try to convince yourself the food is great when in reality it’s mediocre.

This establishment run by GM Chris is welcoming, professional and delicious! They have wonderful happy hour specials from 3-6 & 9pm till closing. What caught my attention the most is how welcoming the GM is. He saw to it that all of our needs are met. If you are a fan of Benihana then think of as a twin sister but with more variety of fresh sushi. Open late and conveniently located in Times Square.

RA Sushi was a great experience from start to finish. The staff and manager were extremely attentive and genuinely kind. Annie went above and beyond to take care of our table and made sure everything was perfect. The restaurant was clean, the ambiance was fun and inviting, and the food and drinks were excellent. Definitely a spot I’d recommend and would visit again.

Lovely place for either a sushi date or a sushi night out on your own in the city. I am visiting the city for a few days only and the service at this place has been the best of all times. By far, all the stars there is to Marcus for his kindness and for providing recommendations on the menu. Loved it and will definitely come back!

Was planning to see a show and knew my stomach would be growling if I didn’t get somethin in me before. Found this spot and had a wonderful dining experience before goin to the show with my theater tickets! The fish was incredibly fresh and high quality, you could really taste the difference right away. Cassidy was absolutely phenomenal, easily one of the best servers I’ve had anywhere. She was so so knowledgeable about the menu, gave thoughtful recommendations based on what we liked, checked in at the perfect times without ever hovering, and had such a warm like upbeat kind of energy that made the whole experience better and brought a little bit of sunshine to this rainy day. You can tell she really cares about her guests having a great time. Yasss I’ll definitely be coming back to eat and to see Cassidy again!
