Food was great and so was the service. We choose this spot because it was the only sushi spot that had outdoor seating -it worked out perfectly for us however there is only room for one table on the patio so that is limited. Love the plum wine! read more

This place has Japanese Curry that is almost a dead ringer for the stuff served at CoCo's Curry in Japan. Anyone who has been stationed overseas there knows how awesome a find like this is. Go give it a try! These people are fantastic as well. read more

I've quickly become a regular here. The spicy ramen is excellent and I can't recommend it more. I've had it several times in house and to go. The sushi and other more transnational American dishes are also worthy of trying although I can never muster the courage to deviate from the excellent ramen...not because I lack variety but instead because it's so delicious! If I had 10 last meal requests the ramen here would make the list at least once! read more

Vegas roll and sashimi poke salad we're on point! Perfect for a working lunch. The crab cake sandwich was also delicious, but be on the lookout for a wasabi surprise :-) There's nothing fancy about the place. It's a hole in the wall, but the food is delicious and nicely presented. read more

This is a textbook "Don't judge a book by it's cover" restaurant. I had seen the numerous 4+ star reviews and yet was still hesitant to visit because of the size of the restaurant (tiny), location (basically in Brandermill) and I couldn't understand how the sign correlated with the Asian dishes on the menu (it just reminded me of a traditional waterfront seafood restaurant). So, for many months, I stayed away. Jokes on me! This place is a hidden gem that left me full, happy and with expectations fully met. The restaurant is very small and it seemed to be a 2 person operation (1 server, 1 cook). The server was super friendly despite rushing around serving a full restaurant (probably 20-30 people). Honestly, she could not have been more pleasant especially under a time of stress. My husband and I started with a sushi roll as an appetizer..the "Red Bull" it was delicious & spicy. My husband ordered the soft-shell crab quesadilla and it was so so good...I'm lucky he let me steal a few bites. I ordered the Mabo Ramen which is a spicy Shoyu ramen with ground pork (I thought that would be strange but it wasn't!) and had leftovers for lunch the next day. We finished the meal with the Green Tea Cheesecake which was a small portion but SO freaking good. I'd never had that before and now it's all I can think about. We will definitely be back..there was so much more on the menu I want to try. read more

Nice change! Wanted to try something different in the area, so we trusted our fellow Yelpers and were not disappointed. You can call it a "hole in the wall" or intimate". Tucked away, right off of Hull Street, near Brandermill, Bluefish Grill is clean, comfortable and friendly. You know there is confidence in the chef when they preparing and cooking in clear view. Nice variety on the menu. Seems to be family owned and take a lot of pride in their restaurant. We gave my husband a hard time because he ordered a hamburger, so much for something different. It appeared incredibly lean and he said it was the best burger he had eaten in years! My son and I enjoyed some more traditional asian dishes and were impressed with the fresh ingredients and taste, so yummy! Appears to be popular take out location. Small outdoor seating area available. Highly suggest you give it a shot! read more

I ordered the soft shell Crab sushi!!! Best sushi and so fresh! My husband ordered the salmon and if was cooked perfectly. The atmosphere is very casual and there is limited seating. The service was wonderful!!! Friendly staff! read more

Best new restaurant in Midlothian which puts it in the running for best altogether. Not only do they have great ramen and sushi, but the fried fish is incredible. Must try. Do the green tea cheesecake. Worth the calories. Edit: Next time I go by there I'll grab a menu and post it. Specials are always changing. I'd give it $$ as far as prices. Everything is fairly priced bit as with everywhere it can get expensive when you order lots of sushi. read more

The food is good,but the service is not the best. I know it's only two people (the chef and the host) my complaint isn't because it's short staffed, rather the attitude of the waitress. I gave this place a few tries however I wasn't satisfied with the service. read more

This is my new go-to place when I am in the mood for a sandwich or ramen. The mabo ramen is a spicy pork ramen that is absolutely fantastic...and will definitely clear up any sinus issue you may have. The Pork Explosion sandwich with fries is amazing. I first picked this up as a to-go item and ate it in the car while listening to a work call. A savory pork with an Asian inspired slaw. It was ridiculously good. It is my new mid-day destination for good food. read more

good food good service i just need to try more on the menu but everything is fire don't eat too much! everybody have a blessed day and stay safe! ambiance is just like patience! read more

Small unassuming family owned restaurant that will take you by surprise! The sushi is handrolled to order and is the best I've had. The red dragon roll is my favorite! A must try is the yuzu sorbet! The staff is friendly prompt and the kitchen is spotless! They also have a small outdoor seating area! read more

The food here is insanely good. The couple that run the place are also extremely nice. The last time I came here the chef showed me the whole salmon he had ordered and how he had done research to find the best fish; it was indeed a beautiful fish. I've been twice so far and plan to always return when I'm in the area. Both times I got sashimi and it was the freshest and tastiest fish I've had in Richmond. The wasabi was also real wasabi and not the powdered kind, which I haven't seen anywhere else in Richmond. We also ordered the seaweed salad which was so good that we ordered more! If you don't live out in the 'burbs this place is well worth the trek. read more

I am so glad we discovered this little place. I've not had ramen since I visited family in NY and didn't know we have a place to get it here in the RVA area. It was so deliciously spicy! I wish it wasn't so far away from where I live. They also have sushi and sandwiches. Don't forget the strange and delicious Japanese ice cream blobs - there is a name for them, Mochi I think, but who cares! They were gone in a flash. FYI the fried ice cream is HUGE so plan accordingly. It's big enough to get an entire family all sugared up. We will definitely be going back and trying more on this menu, there were so many choices! read more

I've been living in the area for about 9 months and just now found this spot. I wasn't really sure what to expect but we decided to try it out instead of heading downtown to one of our usual spots. I had no idea that this spot had so much variety and AUTHENTIC Japanese cuisine. When we entered my wife and I were greeted promptly by a very polite server. I was impressed with how clean the place was and the great service. Even better was the food! The menu had several traditional Japanese dishes, along with sushi, asian-fusion, and american style items. They really have something for everyone. I got a seaweed salad for a starter and my wife got a lobster bisque. The seaweed salad was out of this world and was the best I have ever had. The presentation was incredible and was very refreshing. For our entrees my wife got 2 sushi rolls and I got the Ramen. I am a bit of a ramen connoisseur so I was a little hesitant at first. But once again I was blown away at the presentation and flavor. The sushi rolls were out of this world too. The presentation was beautiful and the portion was really big. After our meal the owner stopped by our table and asked us how we liked our food. He was able to tell us about how he prepares the food and the amount of time and effort it takes him to make the dishes and many of the ingredients. This place was definitely worth ever cent I paid. I will be going back for sure! I honestly can't wait to try all the different ramen noodle's soups as well as some of the sandwiches on the menu. Thank you Bluefish Grill for the great experience! Excellent food and service! read more

I had the soft shell crab sandwich. It was plenty to eat. Crispy and soft in the middle. Good tasting slaw and fresh bread. Can't really ask for more than that. Simple meal well executed. read more

was ok for ramen . nothing special. wanna try rolls and poke here but only dine in menu. just not too close from home. read more

Excellent, small, family-owned restaurant with a BIG menu! The sushi was AMAZING. Someone pointed out there is now no need to travel to the city for good sushi and they are correct! I love the location and it is a spot we will frequent more often. The decor is really cool, almost like a beach or lake house theme to go along with the feel of Brandermill. No complaints. Obviously sushi is a little more expensive as an entree, but that is to be expected. Give it a try and I doubt you'll be disappointed. read more

Hidden gem in Midlo! Best sushi I have ever eaten. My wife and I shared a Vegas Roll, a Rainbow Roll and a California Roll. All 3 were ridiculously good. Cute little place - not much in the way of ambiance, but with sushi this good, who cares? Our service was great. The prices were very reasonable. Gonna try the ramen when we go back. Lots of reviews on here raving about it. read more

I am so pleased that this new restaurant opened near my neighborhood in Brandermill ! It is in our little Market Square shopping area at the corner of Hull and Old Hundred near the PO. They are also adding sushi which I just tried and was great but if you like Asian cuisine that is not just copying all the other Asian restaurants , give this a try. I think a lot of people will think by the name people will think it is a deli but it is really an innovative Asian style restaurant. I had the Cha Shu Rice Bowl and loved it ! What I liked was the sauce - eel sauce - rather than salty soy sauce. Don't let the Deli in the name throw you. It is really an excellent fast food alternative with an Asian flavor ! read more

Went for lunch. Varied menu with lots of choices. Sushi, seafood, roast beef sandwich and pork belly all made fresh to order. We had a flounder sandwich and salad for $11.99 and a soft she'll crab sandwich with fries for $12.99. Both sandwiches had a sweet Cole slaw on a toasted ciobata roll. The meculun salad had a ranch Wasabi dressing that was wonderful. Definitely a well added resterant in the area. They do not have an ABC license yet. But we can expect a Japanese influence with Sake's and beers. I hope they try to serve so VA beverages and wines. It looks like the resterant is owned and run by the cook (husband) and wait (wide) staff. The wife was really nice and helpful. read more

Fortuitously found this place while dropping off a letter at the post office nearby. SO glad I did. In business for only a week, so the menu is pretty simple...but wow, great mix of sandwiches and Asian selections. It was very hard to resist trying a rice bowl or ramen, but decided to play it safe and go with a philly cheese steak. YUM. Just some onions, mushrooms, and surprise! A fried egg on top! Oh yeah and the steak was so tasty, moist, and just the right amount. An excellent take on an old standby. The couple who seemed to be the owners made a good team, and the owner/waitress was very nice and answered all my questions. She brought me a sample of new crab soup. It was so good I bought a take out bowl to have tomorrow. Place is simply situated in a strip mall kind of setting. Clean but sparse interior, only 5 tables or so, looks like they expect lots of take out business. Highly recommended place and should only get better and better. I heard something about a sushi tasting next week as they expand the menu. I'm planning on being there! read more

Ramen that's only 1 min commute for me! Friendly owners and delicious ramen. Already planning another visit. They have a crabcake sandwich for only $10.99 that is calling my name. I will be back for more! read more

John and MaryAnn are always creating the most delicious dishes! It's our neighborhood go-to and never disappoints. From sushi to salads, kids meals to light lunches, it's the best in Midlothian! read more

My husband simply loves the soup here. My rolls were delicious too. But, I don't think the food is good enough to justify the prices. It's a cute little place with good food but be prepared to spend a pretty penny if you like rolls and want to eat more than 1. read more

Stumbled upon this place because of the high reviews and let me tell you, they were right! This place is AWESOME! Family owned and small. So, it might be busy. Just be patient. It will be worth it! We had edamame (sprinkled with Old bay!), Vegas roll, Sunshine Roll, Coco Mango Roll and the teriyaki beef rice bowl. All of it was delicious! FYI, alcohol selection is limited to beer and wine. And kids menu is small; we will probably bring food for our youngest next time. read more

Everything delicious and beautiful to look at. The whole family loved it. I had the Pink Flamingo Sushi and it was so good. Hubby had the Curry and the kiddos had Soft shell crab sandwich and the Philly Cheese Steak. I highly recommend it. read more

My husband and I had dinner here and loved the food! Shrimp tempura was delicious. My husband had ramen and I had the crab cake sandwich with mochi ice cream for dessert. The owners were there and the woman was very sweet to talk to. The prices are very reasonable... Great bang for your buck! I hope they do well and stick around. We'll definitely be back. UPDATE: we eat here constantly. Can't be stopped. We love the sushi and the ramen and rice bowls especially. Love this place! read more

Really nice little restaurant. I wasn't sure what to expect but I was delighted with my experience.

The Bluefish Grill is a small place that's big on flavor and variety. From sushi to sandwiches and a little bit of everything in between, it's hard to pick a favorite. It's a small place, but the owners and employees are friendly and they work hard to make sure you're happy. We'll be back soon for more! read more

Kept passing this place and finally tried it, I will definitely be going back. The sushi is delicious! We had the Vegas roll and it was amazing! I had the Curry Chicken Bowl and it was delicious! They had bluefish as the fresh fish of the day, we had it grilled on a sandwich and it was amazing! I can't wait to go back and try more of their food! read more

An amazing hidden gem! Great food and service!

A wonderful gem in the heart of the Midlothian suburbs. The space is small (and sometimes hard to get into with more than 2-4 ppl in your party) but it sets up a pretty intimate environment for a fun date night with great food. Over the years we have tried several dishes and have always enjoyed everything. If you're looking for delicious Asian-fused food, this is definitely the place to go! read more

My husband and I just recently heard about this place. We're so glad we did! They have a huge menu to select from. I got the Spider Roll from the sushi menu and the Tuna Poke rice bowl from the main menu. My husband got the curry chicken. All were fantastic! The service was great too. The place is very small and you can see the kitchen from where you sit. They have TVs for watching the game, or in our case, the Olympics. We'll return for sure. read more

We were visiting family in town this weekend and as it was a Friday, we were looking for seafood. I was reared in New Orleans and have had the privilege of eating seafood at some of the finest restaurants there, and so in the United States. We looked for a place close by with at least some good reviews. Often we resign ourselves to chains so as not to be surprised. A C+ is better than a roll of the dice. I had the red snapper grilled which was the fresh fish, my wife had the cod with mango sauce. While not in atmosphere and price, this little spot would hold up well to the likes of Commander's Palace, Brennans, Galatoire's and Antoine's in service and the most important thing, the food. Wow, what a very happy surprise and definitely not a gamble. Do not bypass this little gem. I cannot give a better endorsement. Bon Appetit! read more

Found our new favorite place to eat and it's local! Amazing flavor combinations in their dishes and everything is SO fresh. They weren't just making the sushi from ingredients that were previously prepped, but i watched the chef literally cutting the fish once I placed my order. It is a small and intimate restaurant. We could watch as they prepared our meals while we waited. Everything is made once it is ordered. They have a large menu to choose from and it may take a little longer to get your food, but you are getting something that is freshly prepared. Love the owners, they are so passionate and friendly. We will definitely be frequenting their establishment. read more
