Sushi on the State/Rush restaurant strip
Restaurant, Bar
Ra is a sushi place plus bar in the State/Rush restaurant zone in the Gold Coast. It also serves a other Japanese-style entrees. The decor is on the trendy/hip inspiration end of things, and it gets loud and full quickly. Outdoor seating is available during the summer. The bar is open to 2:00 a.m. nightly.
A couple of veg-friendly options are on the menu, including the standard vegetable tempura. Very little to none of the sushi is veg-friendly. When in doubt, ask.

This place is so close to where I stay in Chicago that I really wanted to like it. Unfortunately the attitude of the staff was about as mediocre as the food (very limited veggie options)...won't return soon.

Ra Sushi has very little for vegans except the most basic kind of avocado or cucumber sushi rolls (or, as I like to say, the Japanese equivalent of iceberg lettuce salads at steakhouses). The bar area is pretty nice, though, and I like the decor. Be warned that their mixed drinks are pretty strong and not particularly well-mixed, in my opinion. The service was friendly.
If you happen to be in the area, this might be a good place for a late-night drink, as all the other bars in the neighborhood seem to be wood-paneled Irish pubs.
