I will NEVER go again. The service and food is horrible! The first time was not so bad. The sushi was okay, as long as you do not order the sashimi you will be fine. My second dining experience was not good at all. First off... (more)

I've eaten Japanese food at least twice a week all around the East Bay. I dare say, Sushi Ray is the worst service ever. Not even once I'm satisfy with the service. I agree the food is pretty fresh and the price is fair, but... (more)

The sushi here is fresh and great for the price. Sitting at the bar will get you the best service but the seating is close & cosy. Service depends upon the time you get there. The busier it is the slower the service will... (more)

Whenever my family craves sushi, Ray's is the place we go to. If you are a fan of nigiri sushi, Ray's gives you a lot of sashimi. One slice of sashimi at Ray's is the equivalent of 3 at most other sushi places in the area.... (more)
