I was recently invited to RA sushi to dine on their “new” seasonal summer menu. If you have not had the opportunity to visit RA sushi you are missing out! RA is located in the Park Place Shopping Area in Leawood, KS., next to the A. Loft hotel. The contemporary and chic feel provides the prefect venue for that after work happy hour meet-up, a catch to up with friends or perhaps meet some new ones, and of course a great date night.
Red Seabream Carpaccio – Sliced Red Seabream and lemon topped with spicy yuzu dressing, organic micro greens, truffle salt and lemon zest. The carpaccio is a fresh, yet delicate taste that is mild but flavorful. Normally, I do not order “raw” items at sushi restaurants, but this carpaccio will change your perspective.
Red Seabream Nigri – Red Seabream on rice, topped with spicy yuzu dressing and truffle salt. The Nigri was amazing!!! Again, this is an item I would not normally not order. The fish is so fresh, smooth, and delicate. The dressing provided just the right amount of spice. And the truffle salt… well, anything truffle is fabulous, right? But mixing fresh sushi and truffle salt is a match made in food heaven.
Tuna California Roll – The classic California Roll topped with a tuna mix of avocado, cucumber, bell pepper and cilantro, finished with togarashi, garlic chips and black pepper soy sauce.The California Roll is one of my favorite rolls, its simple flavors are delicious. The new Tuna California Roll takes an old favorite to a new level. The added complex flavor pairings of garlic chips and black pepper soy sauce elevates this classic roll to a must-try.
Langostino Strawberry Salad – Langostino, strawberries, cucumber and avocado over arugula; tossed in citrus vinaigrette and served with kiwi wasbasi sauce and truffle salt. A salad is something you would not normally order at a sushi restaurant. The flavor profile on this simple salad is off the charts. Who would have known that five base ingredients would provide such character to salad, one bite and you will be hooked. If you pair this salad with friends and a beautiful outdoor patio, well.. you will have the perfect summer day.

I love Ra Sushi! I ate there just a few weeks ago in Florida. There is one here in Atlanta so I’ll have to check out this new menu.
Ra Sushi is delicious!
That tuna California roll looks delicious! My husband and I love Sushi but rarely get to indulge. This looks like a great spot!
