Raw Sushi Bistro

By far one of the best sushi places in Stockton! David & Dante are the most welcoming and fun sushi chefs I have ever met. They made our experience so awesome. I recommend everyone to stop by if you are in the area. The customer service is prime!

Came here with a large group. Ordered several rolls and they were all AMAZING!!! Best sushi hands down and I’ve had very expensive sushi in SF and vegas… This is the most fresh and tastiest place for folk who enjoy food of the sea!!!

Best sushi in the valley, hands down! Food is always fresh, and service is great! They also have a full bar with lots of drink options. We come for dinner once a week — love it!

First time for lunch with friends. Calm and pleasant dining atmosphere. Pleasing art décor. Clean. Menu has something for everyone. I started with saki, and enjoyed the delicious Tempura Roll. Finishing lunch with a Disarrono on the rocks.
Friendly, attentive and accurate service. I look forward to visiting Raw again.

Love this place, when it isn’t too busy! Garlic Edamame is excellent! The service is fast and attentive. I try to come here for dinner with my fiancé at least twice a month.

I’ve been going here since they opened years ago. Goodie has always been one of my favorite sushi chefs since Sho Mi’s. so I knew this place was always going to be delicious.
Almost everything I have had there has been great. I’ve never really been unsatisfied with any order. Only place I will order chicken teriyaki b/​c it’s delicious :) It’s cooked like a stir fry so it’s different that others.
The ambiance is hip, but can get really really loud to where it’s hard to have an solid conversation. Most servers there are always really nice. Our most recent one was really awesome so we gave her a really good tip.
I’ve tried lots of stuff on the menu but my favs are the beef carpaccio, agadashi tofu, ablacore vinegar, salmon skin roll, goodie roll, road kill, chirashi bowl and the nigiri special.
Pricing is $$ to $$$ but it’s well worth it :)

FANTASTIC SUSHI. I’m not lying when I say this is the best sushi I have ever had… and I have had a lot of sushi. I believe it is better than mikunis. It is about the same price of mikunis, except you receive better quality and presentation.
Their garlic spicy edamame is delicious. They also have a Dantes inferno appetizer that is very similar to the Dantes inferno roll & it is very good, if you like spice.
As for the rolls I HIGHLY recommend the Dantes inferno (spicey) & the SCS (spicey crunchy scallop, however I do not find it to be spicey at all). The Dantes inferno will come with deep fried strips of jalapeño & depending on the peppers can be pretty spicy so beware!
The restaurant itself is pretty small & quaint and I have never been in when it is not busy! Be prepared to wait a few for a table and while doing so you can buy a drink at the bar!
Excellent food, I drive all the way from Natomas to get it!

This place ruins sushi for us because this is the best sushi restaurant in the region, period. the food is always amazing and always consistent. the only complaint is if you don’t get there by 530 – 6 you might have a wait but that’s because the food is that good. so i cant fault that and nobody else should either. i would worry if it wasn’t busy all the time. cocktail to try is the moonstone coconut pearl martini, the garlic spicy edamame and the dantes inferno roll. oh and everything else too.

Way too slow seating, serving and getting the bill to people. Unorganized; enough staff, but they are not efficient. On top of the extreme slowness, the food is not worth the wait. Rolls are put together sloppily. Not worth the time or aggravation to get mediocre food.

Never have had a bad time here… Always have wonderful sushi… It’s almost hard to choose which roll to get because they are all amazing! My all time favorite is the «BTS»!!! The staff is always super friendly and welcoming… I have called in my order many times here too and it’s always ready and just as good as eating it there! Their cocktails are really good too! Great place!

I love this place! They serve the knocked up roll that’s safe for pregnant mommies to be that love sushi but can’t eat the raw fish. It’s so yummy and satisfying for those sushi cravings. It’s not on the menu but if you ask for it the person serving you just knows what it is!
THANKS RAW FOR SHOWING LOVE TO YOUR MAMAS TO BE

Just a tip, if you have to wait to be seated for more than 20 minutes, don’t go to Target a few stores away. I missed the call and ended up going to Panera’s. We were just too hungry to wait again

My husband and I came here for the 1^st time together today. We have both enjoyed the sushi here in the past. Despite the fact that we were the first ones there, the service today was VERY disappointing.
We ordered the Udon, Tempura Udon and the Rainbow Roll. The Rainbow Roll was delicious: the fresh fish and the perfectly prepared rice were yummy!
The problem was that though we had our order in first for sushi, we were waiting and waiting for it. Then I noticed that other orders were being made on the sushi bar. So I got my ass up to ask the sushi chef where our Rainbow Roll was. He turned around and it was sitting on the counter. The waitress comes over as she just noticed it. (Mind you, there were 4 other servers doing nothing but standing around.) She finally brings it to us, so we devour it.
It was our MISTAKE ordering the Udon. It came out TOO HOT. Even my husband who likes everything HOT complained it was too hot. The noodles were all slimy and difficult to eat — all the noodles splashed out and splattered all over and the broth was NOT tasty. For $ 13.95 a bowl, I expected something much tastier. Super overpriced.
Finally, for $ 2.50 for a glass of ice tea, it’s lame when you don’t even come around to check to see if we need refills.
Big disappointment today. We would come back for sushi but would leave if the service was crappy again.

Setting: Small & Dark, tables a little close for comfort, bars on either side.
Ambiance: It can get loud in the small space, especially when they are full of people with the TV’s on.
Décor: Simple, standard.
Service: It has been my experience the service depends on the number of people in the restaurant. I like that the staff never hovers, but sometimes a few more refills is nice.
Food: Acceptable. Standard presentation; nothing special. We find most of the rolls to be bland (For example, don’t be intimidated by Dante’s Inferno, I don’t like spice and it was moderate at best.)
Prices: Too high for what you get. Stay away from the rolls with no prices!

The best sushi anywhere! Dante and Tita will hook you up. Skip the menu, sit at the sushi bar, and just ask for somerhing delicious. You will not be disappointed, I never have been.

On my way back from Sac i stopped in for a quick bite here. Had the spicy ahi salad w a delicious light dressing. It had plenty of ahi w sesame seeds and some heat topped w noodles It was absolutely fabulous. So glad i ordered this. I also had a small bowl of udon.
The waitress was super helpful and great quick service. I will drop by each time im in the area. The place is a hidden gem in the middle of all these franchise places.

My favorite place for sushi! Never have I had a bad experience here. Their raspberry lemon drop is delicious too!

I’ve had nothing but great experiences all the times I’ve been here. The waitresses/​bartenders are extremely nice.
The food is great! I especially love the snow crab rainbow roll and Dante’s inferno (it has a little kick to it). The fish tastes fresh and the rolls are delicious!

First time ever here. Started off with their crisp sake. Amazing!!! Soft shell appetizer soooo good!!! I ended up with three rolls! The chicken katsu, which they made specially for me upon request, the asparagus roll, and the seared salmon roll! We had a wonderful waitress and a wonderful time!
Clean atmosphere, clean bathrooms!!! I will defiantly return!!!

I’v never been to Japan but I have eaten at Raw many times now, I guess you can say this is the best Sushi in Stockton and they have got me hooked.
The first time at this place I was pleasantly surprised as the services and food quality far exceeded my expectations. Definitely not a place you would typically find around Stockton. My favorite is the Spicy Crunchy Scallop Roll and the appetizers are to die for. The services is great. The hostesses are always upbeat and cheery, very hospitable. The waiter and waitress are knowledgeable about their menu and are able to provide a lot of insight. I would also recommended it to be a good place to grab drinks as well. The bar is fully stocked so you may expect to find most type of drinks. The décor is upscale and chic, and the bathrooms are very well kept clean too.
This is my first choice for Sushi and Randell at the bar makes a great drink!
