Ariake Grille & Sushi Bar

Clean, pleasant, date-night vibes, hospitable host, tasty and satisfying food. Can't go wrong with this unassuming spot. Loved everything me and my family ordered. Highly recommended the Nabeyaki Udon. Maybe we'll try the boat next time.

Wanted some sushi & Japanese food so found this place by the mall after doing some shopping at the mall. I liked the vibes. The decor was nice & they had traditional style seating areas for larger groups. All & all food was food! I had the bento box so I was able to try a little bit of everything. Price wasn't too bad since it lunch prices. Good place all around!

Pros:
Good location with easy parking
Spacious dining area
Varied menu options
Friendly service
Fish in sushi was fresh
Udon came out bubbling and hot

Cons:
Udon lacked flavor and was a tiny portion for price
I was the only patron in the entire restaurant, but it took a while to get served since the the waitress was busy fielding phone orders
Prices seemed high compared to similar restaurants

Pro tip:
Takeout may be the fastest

Such a quant hidden place for a Japanese Restaurant.
Located in a shopping center.

The ambiance was very quiet.
The service was very poor because the staff was arguing with us on the issue with our dish. The staff thought it was good to serve paper.

I ordered Beef strips with noodles and rice. It came with soup and salad.

The food was ok not great. The beef strips had minimal flavors. The salad was delicious. The could have been seasoned better.

We also ordered the shrimp tempura and it was served with paper. The server thought it was ok to serve paper with the shrimp tempura.

I would not recommend the dishes we ordered but we would be willing to try again.

I had a very bad experience with Kori and it followed up with a bad experience today when I called to voice my concern. My waitress on Saturday did not tend to me and my party. She didn't listen to us, was rude, and inattentive. Together we spent over $150 and our waitress barely attended to us and seemed to be just trying to get away from us. When I called today to speak to a manager I was hung up on. This really disappoints me. I have been here many times and have always had good service until now. But being hung up on and bring mistreated by the staff really makes me sad.

*This review is for Ariake Grille & Sushi in Bellbrook (which is not listed in Yelp). This is my first time visiting this restaurant, which I found because of Flavor Saver coupon. I found the waitperson, very nice and friendly. The food was great! I had a shrimp tempura roll, added avocado and eel sauce and a California roll with tobiko added. It was fresh and delicious. Overall a very good experience, the only thing I found mediocre was the ambiance, not bad, not great.

I am a regular here. My favorite restaurant ever. Best ramen and sushi I've ever had. It's hard to enjoy ramen anywhere else after eating here. Always clean, superb quality, great service, consistently great. I only bring people I love here. I just wish it was closer to where I live. You must have them bring the chili oil with your meal.

Friendly service with a nice ambiance for a casual meal. Ordered two appetizers and both were fresh and tasty with shoyu ramen, which was also the right flavor, although the egg was overdone and the meat was tough and chewy.

Overall, would return but this was a tad pricey for the whole experience.

Had a great experience dining here. Aside from the amazing food, the customer service was top notch. They were short staffed tonight, and the lone employee serving the floor did a great job of making sure everyone was taken care of. I can't wait to come back to this place and would highly recommend it!

Food and service was excellent. The sushi was fresh and tasty. Love the miso soup and green tea.
