Raw Raw Girls

Ra Sushi Opens

Ra. Ra. Siss. Boom. Ba.
Give it up for sushi joint Ra.

Hey. Hey.
What do you say?
The rolls are wild.
And it opens today.

Gimme a twist! (On traditional Japanese favorites, like apple teriyaki salmon and yuzu halibut.)

Gimme a roll! (The yellow monkey roll has roasted red peppers, marinated artichoke, and cream cheese, topped with mango and cashew nuts.)

Gimme a separate, full cocktail bar with Asian-tinged spirits! (Saketinis, Pamatinis, and Banzai Martinis.)

Sorry for the pep (you haven’t had your coffee), but Ra’s energetic environment, upbeat music, Japanese design touches, and deep red lights are exotic enough to shake your pom-poms. And extra ingredients like red beet tempura flakes, jalapeno, and Asian pesto sauce give the sushi an added kick.

Let’s get fired up!

Ra Sushi, 5829 Southwest 73rd Street, South Miami (305-341-0092 or rasushi.com).
