Overall this is a mid level sushi place. Prices for the lunch special are good. The roll for the…read morelunch specials are a good size. However they were rolls a little looser than I prefer. The chicken teriyaki was good, but again, none of this was anything to write home about. Service was very prompt. Overall, not a bad place to stop in on the way to or from an outing with a friend, but I'd pick a classier joint for date night.

I hate leaving a negative review but the experience I had was terrible. To start off, I placed a…read morepickup order online and when I went to pick it up they told me they just put my order in because the printer broke. I thought okay whatever I'll just wait in my car. 20 minutes later I get my order. So after 45 minutes of waiting I finally have my two very basic sushi rolls. I am allergic to avocado and made sure to write on my order TWICE that I wanted no avocado on my California roll. This may be a strange request but that's why I made sure to write it twice, in all caps. I get back to my house and realize they in fact did put avocado on my roll. I threw away the California roll (because I can't eat it) and looked over to the next. As soon as I was about to pick up a piece, I realize there is a hair in the sushi... I tried eating a few pieces but was honestly just really disgusted and annoyed. The few pieces I did eat fell apart as soon as I picked them up and were rolled improperly. 2 disgusting rolls for $20 after waiting for 45 minutes = 2 stars. And that is me being generous. Save your money. Go to Publix!!!

Perry's at Short Pump was probably the first upscale place in our area. Another pleasant surprise is Ariland Sushi in the West End: more affordable, yet still a genuinely classy little sushi restaurant. The freshness of the food is beyond reproach, and everything is prepared right in front of you. Impeccable taste. Cleanliness? We were shown the back of Ariland Sushi -- impeccably clean, with an abundance of eco‑friendly cleaners and disinfectants. A Michelin‑star restaurant would be proud. The hostess, Sophia, who is also a skilled chef, will win your heart. I only hope they don't raise their prices after this review.

Our waitress was MIA for most of the time and was very rude when we made a mistake regarding ordering and was not willing to resolve the issue in a professional manner. It took a long time for our order to come despite we came pretty late after the lunch hour and sushi itself was pretty mid. Specialty rolls were uninspiring and the pieces were extremely small. I guess if you're here for the "all you can eat" experience you won't notice but if you're here for real, authentic sushi, this isn't the place for it. 2 stars for the ambiance bc it is a unique and interesting looking place with cool decor and seating areas and I would have loved to come back but probably will not.

First, I want to shoutout the incredibly sweet server I get here each time. I don't know her name, but this spot feels family owned and she is always beyond sweet and attentive. There is a lot of free parking out front and near this spot. It's in a sort of strip mall and can be a little confusing to get to, but if you follow your GPS it should be fine. Dining in or takeout are both great options here. You get your food quickly either way. I love their signature purple rice that comes with the sushi here. I also adore their nigiri choices. On my first visit years ago, I got a very yummy dragon roll. On my last few visits, I've enjoyed their avo salmon roll, white tuna nigiri, scallop nigiri, and miso soup. Their fish is fresh and delicious here. I highly recommend getting sushi here.

Sushi is legit! The…read moremenu offers many specialty rolls and traditional rolls such as sashimi, nigiri. We started off with some fried tofu (not pictured) and followed up with two specialty rolls. For two people, this was plenty to fill us up. The Monster roll is pretty filling with its size, tuna, and a piece of tempura. The roll on the left (forgot the name), was a nice balance to the heavier Monster roll. I thoroughly enjoyed the specialty rolls! Service was great! We were running behind our reservation time and I called to let them know. We still got our table when we arrived! They told us about the happy hour and we got some drinks and an appetizer. Water was always refilled. Ambiance is low key. Great for catching up with friends and families. Bathrooms had cool, neon lighting like you're at the club. Would definitely come back (which I did)!

Yume Roll and Jeff roll on bogo. They were actually a bit smaller than I expected. I ate all 4 rolls in one sitting. Some of the roll pieces were kind of thin but it was worth it with the bogo deal. Still pretty good flavor. I liked the Jeff roll with tuna, it seemed like a pretty thin topping and had a nice little kick from the jalapeño. The Yume roll had good flavor but it felt like the filling with the crunch was a lot of the filling which made it a little bland, nice crunch and simple flavors.

We all got ramen and the portions were huge. Broth was flavorful and delicious. Really loved the beef gyoza too. We ordered from the kiosk because we wanted to customize our sushi. Service was ... not super fast but not so slow that it would be a deal breaker for coming back. Staff was very friendly. Overall - we would make the drive here next trip to KD, even though it's about 20 minutes from the park. If we were local I could see eating here quite often! Edit: we liked it so much we came back our second night in Doswell. I had a poke bowl and it did not disappoint. So much protein - plenty of shrimp and the crab salad on top was delicious. Loved the yum yum sauce. I should have ordered the sauces on the side, though, as it was a bit too much for my taste. My husband ordered the fried chicken and the portion was giant! We also ordered many of the same apps from day one. We can't wait to try the one on Long Island near us. Affordable, delicious, and amazing portion sizes.
