Ra Sushi- Tustin

Upon entering Ra Sushi, located in The District at Tustin Legacy, the atmosphere instantly strikes the customer as a unique Japanese dining experience. The whole ambiance of the establishment gives off the vibe of a very fun and upscale restaurant. For Happy Hour, they offer everything from $1 hot sake to half off appetizers, sushi and $5 well drinks.
Everyone at my table decided to give the $1 hot sake a try. However, none of us had ever had sake before and upon taking our first cup...did not especially like this drink. But, if you yourself do enjoy hot sake, then the amount that you receive for $1 is a great value. $2 bottles of Sapporo Japanese beer were what everyone at my table decided to try on the rest of the happy hour drinks menu. This is a very smooth tasting beer and is well worth the price.
The appetizers and sushi rolls are also a great deal here. The salmon and shrimp nigri were a top choice among those at my table. And received high marks from everyone, (note: there is wasabi in both of these). The shrimp tempura is priced at $4.50 and gives about ten shrimp per plate and has a quality taste to it. The Crispy Soft Shell Crab appetizer and Lobster spring rolls are also reasonably priced during happy hour and are filling and great as well.
Overall, this is more a happy hour for Japanese food then for drinks if you like sushi and other cultural food from this region. If this sounds like you then it is well worth the time to take to try the happy hour at Ra Sushi.
