On a Roll

Ra Sushi Opens

Last night’s date should have been like Maki sushi: all the ideal components rolled up into one perfect package.

But it wasn’t.

Forget date number two and head to Plano’s new Ra Sushi, opening today.

The dramatic, contemporary decor and party-casual soundtracks make it loungey, but it’s the food that takes center stage: a wide variety of sushi (with a focus on inventive rolls) and Asian-fusion entrees.

Feeling sweet? Try the Tootsy Maki, crab mix with shrimp and cucumber in seaweed and rice with tempura crunchies. Spicy? The Viva Las Vegas roll tops a kani kama tempura and cream-cheese roll with spicy tuna, sliced lotus root, and more. Or if your chopstick skills are lacking, go for the fork-friendly halibut in creamy yuzu broth.

With a menu like that, you won’t just forget that deadbeat date of yours.

You’ll discover a brand new love.

Ra Sushi, The Shops at Legacy, 7501 Lone Star Drive, Plano (469-467-7400 or rasushi.com).
