Raleigh Raw has a terrific selection of cold pressed juices, smoothies, and teas. They have a juice cleanse program for those who are interested.
A poké bowl at Raleigh Raw captures even more goodness than a poké ball, partially because everybody knows you have to use great or ultra-balls to capture legendary Pokémon. Heck, not even legendary Pokémon. I've had 320 CP Rattatas break out of my poké balls. What's the deal with that?
For your poke bowl, start with a base of sticky rice, mixed spinach/lettuce, or a combination of the two. Add the "setup" consisting of fruit and premium greens. Finally, finish with your choice of protein. Beets are available as a choice for our vegan friends. I picked a mixture of sticky rice and greens, "the hustle" setup, and tuna as my protein. At $12.75 with the tax included, I'm feeling mild pain.
Each bowl comes with a sesame sauce and some other thing that my overworked brain can't possibly identify at the moment. Throw that sauce in your bowl, shake it up, and enjoy pure deliciousness. The ingredients are high quality and fresh. The portion may appear small, but it was able to satisfy my appetite.
Like other diners I wish Raleigh Raw were slightly cheaper and/or I made significantly more money. I initially wanted to ding this place for that, but you know what? I loved it. I truly did. I loved my meal and can't wait to return. The healthy and delicious lunch from Raleigh Raw energized me to finish my...
Read moreI typically only write a review if it’s good, but I feel compelled to share my honest experience here. I ordered the Faroe Monch sushirrito, the mangonada smoothie, and the truffles. I love poke bowls, but was curious to try a sushirrito. Y’all, this was one of the blandest dishes I have ever tried. I was extremely disappointed. Pacific Islander here – do NOT order any sort of poke dish from here if you are expecting poke flavors. It was completely unseasoned and the ingredients unnecessarily complicated with no payoff. Do yourself a favor and buy some sushi-grade tuna from Toyo Shokuhin and make delicious poke at home; it’s very easy and much much cheaper.
I had ordered the mangonada smoothie before and it had tasted good, but this time it tasted like something had gone sour/bad. The taste was funky, unpleasant, and sour as opposed to tangy, creamy, and sweet.
The truffles were the only item that tasted good.
Overall, I’ve always got a strange feeling about this place and I would recommend avoiding it. The worst part of it all is the price – there are many other delicious authentic food joints and small businesses worth saving...
