Best sushi restaurant in NorCal! As a native of LA , my bar is set pretty high when it comes to sushi bars. We don't mess around here on Ventura Blvd But Sushi in the Raw really proved itself with their unique rolls, fresh sashimi plates and attentive service! My best friend who lives in Nevada city told me it took her 3 weeks to get a reservation here.... So you can tell this place is high in demand ..... and I understand why!

The best Sushi in town. Spicy miso soup is to die for. Fish has always been fresh. No other sushi around can match up.

Having been to the old Sushi in the Raw a gajillion times, I was apprehensive that nothing could live up to the place Susan and Ru had created. I do think no sushi restaurant can replace it, but the new Sushi in the Raw did pretty good. I was legitimately fearful after reading reviews: tiny portions, shmucky arrogant staff and a crappy decor. Well, thank goodness some Yelpers are wrong. A new bigger space with some personality welcomes you when you arrive. The portions are ample and we didn't even get sushi but left so full! We had a delightful hostess and an even friendlier waitress. The inside is thoughtfully decorated with random Japanese items and the huge windows give great light. It was packed when we left at 7pm-ish. The new owners will obviously never replace what Susan and Ru brought to Nevada City but they sure are killing it as a bigger and new local restaurant. Absolutely we will return.

The spoons are amazing, especially the spicy yellowtail. So satisfying. Anything with scallops and truffle salt is amazing too. And the grilled salmon head is pure perfection. All the dipping sauce are wonderful and compliment the dishes so well. All in all everything we had was great. Service is a bit slow but attentive. Don't miss it!!

Great sushi place; MUST RESERVE IN ADVANCE!!!!!! Great sushi place, the dishes are very fresh. The service is a bit slow to the point we had to cancel our last orders. Overall a great experience
