Charming
Neighbourhood gem
Healthy

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.

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
