“Delicious! Server was so sweet and the restaurant is adorable. This place is definitely what the reviews claim it to be!“

“Arilang has some of the freshest fish in the area served up some gorgeous plating. The atmosphere is relaxed and quiet, the staff are super friendly and attentive. I cannot recommend this place more. Also this was one of the few spots that served up hand rolls! We will surely be returning.“

“Great food and atmosphere! I would recommend coming here for the Sushi and Hibachi!“

“Our family went here for the first time for dinner on Christmas and it was incredible! We ordered hibachi and sushi - the flavors and quality were outstanding. The staff was incredibly kind to both us and our kids, as well as every customer that walked in or called in an order while we ate. The restaurant was clean and welcoming. We can’t wait to eat here again and order take out too! :) Thank you, thank you!“

“We absolutely love Tokyo Sushi. The food is amazing and the owners are so welcoming and kind.“

“There’s rust on the buffets, the food was room temperature and the bathrooms look like they haven’t been cleaned in years. There is so much build up on the faucets and there is dried human waste smeared in the stalls. I left an entire plate of food sitting there because there was no way I was eating food prepared there after I saw the conditions presented to the public. I don’t even want to think about what the kitchen looks like.“

“Absolutely wonderful. This is the first sushi restaurant that I've been to that has a dedicated section on their menu and plentiful selection for vegetarian friendly rolls. It really helped with taking out a significant amount of guess work, and back and forth questions with the wait staff. I'm so used to only having two or *maybe* three options at other places, and when I saw there were over 10 types of rolls for me to choose from, I was over the moon. The vegetable dragon roll was so good that I also decided to take one to-go.
Their tofu teriyaki was also delicious.
The portion is at least enough for 2 meals, and for the price, it's unbeatable. The environment is welcoming, our waitress was amazing, and their food was the highlight of my day.
I'm so happy my partner and I found this place. It's become our favorite sushi restaurant after just one visit. ❤️“

“I enjoyed the show by Chef Leo and the staff was courteous and professional and most of all the food was awesome“

“Maui was our chef and he was cracking us up the whole time. His sense of humor was only rivaled by the deliciousness of his food. This is the best hibachi I have ever had. The food was amazing.“

“My regular sushi place is closed on Mondays, so I took a chance & ordered from "Not Just Sushi" in the same shopping center as Food Lion, kind of near the new Target on Staples Mill Road, across from the big Kroger, etc... kind of near where the Pizza Hut is in that shopping center.
It was SO GOOD!! I really loved it! I got some kind of roll that was a specialty roll, had shrimp, cream cheese, etc., and a crab salad, and the dumpling things I call pot stickers, everything was absolutely delicious, and what I really liked was that the man was SO incredibly grateful & appreciative for the business, he was so nice and wanted to please, for sure, and that's so nice to find these days!
Y'all go give "Not Just Sushi" a try! You won't regret it!“

“The server was excellent, and extremely kind and patient with our daughter. They allowed my husband to order a specialty off menu. Food was all fresh and expertly made. The gyoza were just right, crispy thin dough. It was quiet and calm inside the restaurant.

Kid-friendliness: Interactions with our daughter were friendly, patient and kind. The server made our daughter laugh, offered her ‘easier’ chopsticks- and gave praise when she said she could handle the big ones.“

“Wok N Roll is a Restaurant I always love visiting. The Staff are always so kind and polite. The food is prepared fresh and hot and always on time. I would recommend anyone in Richmond or the surrounding areas to give them a try. They definitely deserve 5 🌟⭐⭐⭐⭐ !!!!😊“

“We came here on an ad in Reach magazine, and I'm so glad we did. We've been twice, two different days of the week, different times of the day. The service is stellar, the staff is so nice. The rolls are exactly the right size. But what really sells this restaurant is the environment. The music is low but present, the seating is comfortable, and the overall "vibe" feels inviting.

The food, without a doubt, is fantastic. While we haven't done hibachi, if it's as good as the sushi, I will have to try it soon.

Kid-friendliness: Small kids menu but very standard“

“Great place to eat! So many choices and something for everyone.“
