Charming
Neighbourhood gem

At Raisu, the focus is on providing the freshest fish and excellent costumer service. Our fish flown in from Japan twice a week. On a level comparable to other high end sushi restaurants, yet for an affordable price. Traditional nigiri (served with freshly grated wasabi) comes with signature toppings. Reserve ahead of time for Omakase, which is available in limited quality.

Food and ambiance were wonderful. Tempura combo was one of the best we’ve had. Unfortunately, our waitress was not very friendly, and given that it was our first time there, and we ordered the Omakase, it detracted a bit from our overall experience. We will be back though!

The fish was very good and fresh but there was very little rice in the nigiri. For a party of 4 we all got our food at different time, the last guest being served 45’ after the first one at the table. Our waitresses was barely polite
