Rah Rah For Mediocre Sushi
Not sure how I didn't see Victoria Pesce Elliott's review of RA Sushi earlier (I swear it wasn't on the Herald's site), but I just couldn't let it slide by after reading the first paragraph:
The name is RA, as in rah, rah, sis, boom, bah -- not R.A., as I made the mistake of saying to a server who quietly corrected me: ``They get really upset if you say that. It's supposed to be like raw, you know, like raw fish.''Sorry, but you forfeit all rights to getting "really upset" at customer's mispronunciations when you give your restaurant a ridiculous name. Both the R and the A are capitalized, so why would someone automatically think to pronounce it "rah?"
Anyway, the sushi is OK; Victoria Pesce Elliott gives it two stars, and her reaction is lukewarm to most of what's on the menu. But hey, the happy hour is a good deal.

Saying the sushi is "OK" is giving it too much credit. I bet this place will be a HUGE hit in South Miami though.
