Raw Sushi Bar brings the full spectrum of Japanese cuisine to Modesto, CA. Our restaurant is more than a sushi bar — it is a complete Japanese dining experience. Our chefs are trained in traditional Japanese culinary methods, bringing precision, care, and artistry to every dish that leaves our kitchen.
Our menu spans the breadth of Japanese cooking. Start with edamame, gyoza, or a crisp seaweed salad. Move on to fresh sashimi platters, hand-formed nigiri, or one of our many signature sushi rolls. For guests who prefer cooked dishes, we offer teriyaki chicken and salmon, crispy tempura, savory udon noodles, and hearty Japanese rice bowls.
Every ingredient is selected with intention. Our fish arrives fresh daily, our rice is seasoned with house-made vinegar, and our sauces are prepared in-house using authentic recipes. This commitment to quality is what sets Raw Sushi Bar apart as the premier Japanese restaurant in Modesto.

Japanese Entrees. Not in the mood for raw fish? Our kitchen serves flavorful teriyaki plates, golden tempura, and noodle dishes that highlight the savory, comforting side of Japanese cuisine.
Appetizers & Small Plates. Begin your meal with traditional Japanese starters like miso soup, sunomono, or agedashi tofu. Our small plates are perfect for sharing and set the stage for a memorable meal.
