"Great customer service always delightful to serve you with amazing food. I was very skeptical about having sushi from a food truck since trying them 4 years ago, but has amazed me on how fresh and delicious everything was when I ordered every time. Must give them a try, you won't regret it."

"The best sushi in CDA, hands down!!! I have been eating at Raw Dead Fish for a few years now. They are absolutely so consistent in quality and service. The sushi is always fresh and the pieces are large and satisfying. The flavor is fresh and light and the fish is in large, firm pieces. The value is incomparable."

"Been going here for several years. Tried all the local sushi places and in a lot of locations outside of Idaho. I can't say enough about this place and the folks at Raw Dead Fish. It seems all reviews of a business have one or two negative reviews. In this case, they are undeserved."

"Drove out from Montana when we herd the best sushi rolls literally roll around in a truck, in north Idaho of all places, but it was worth it! Rawdeadfish rocks!"

"Hubby got a hankering for sushi but, we wanted to keep costs down. Rawdeadfish came up with great ratings. Raw fish and food truck don't sound like they'd go together but, they do. The truck is somewhat off the beaten path but, it worth the trip. We got our order to go as it was a bit chilly outside. Perfect meal."

"Love love love Raw Dead Fish! We have been coming to them for years. I am gluten intolerant and get really sick if I eat just a spec. Raw Dead Fish does a great job of providing sushi that hasn't been cross contaminated and even their soy sauce is g/f. The best deal is one of their family assortment boxes."

"I honestly believe this is the best and most affordable sushi in the area. Don't let the fact that this is a food truck scare you away. Fish tasted fresh, the portions were very generous and the people working here are great. If you have not eaten here yet, GO!! It's well worth the trip."

"The fish is unlike anything you get around Kootenia period. Big flaky chunks of lightly tempura fish. The fry’s were crispy with a salty bite. The sauces were fresh and zesty. My 86 year old Mom asked if we have the number to order next Friday. Travis the owner is doing it right!"

"Run, don’t walk, to Raw Dead Fish in CDA for their new fish & chips! The sushi has always been a hit here, but I was especially impressed with a couple of their newer menu additions. The fish & chips were outstanding—great fresh-tasting cod with a light, crispy batter that wasn’t greasy at all."

"I've eaten sushi from coast to coast, and I never thought a food truck could impress me, but wow, this guy’s got it dialed! His setup is stunning, and the sushi is top-notch. He even snips fresh herbs from a garden right in front of his truck."

"Delicious & worth every Penny!! The Bruce Lee delivered a knockout punch. The North Idaho roll is delish while the California roll hits the spot for the less adventurous sushi eater. Highly recommended! Plus, the staff was accommodating & delightful for our unique situation."

"Being a big sushi fan and moving to the area and not having quite the same assortment of venues. Finding this truck was a Godsend. Phenomenal flavor and pricing and the owner was super kind in explaining the chef surprise/special. Worth every penny. Will be coming back here and recommending this place to everyone."
