Red Salt Chophouse And Sushi - Henrico

The ambiance was one that made you want to return, with jazz music playing in the background and delicious food.

10 of 10!!!!!!! No question-Go here! Great food, great servers and vibe!

UPDATE TO ORIGINAL REVIEW: Aside from being left on hold for 15 minutes when calling to adjust my reservation and the seared salmon being slightly overcooked and under seasoned, our experience was phenomenal! Blaise was the BEST server I’ve ever had going above and beyond to make our dinner perfect! Her timing, thoughtfulness, and consideration were impeccable. She was knowledgeable about the establishment and never hesitated to do her best to meet our needs, even coming through on serving us our favorite sushi roll which had been taken off the menu months ago. She recommended a drink after identifying my preference for sweet wines without me having to ask or explain. She offered to cut up strawberries to serve with my boyfriend’s complimentary birthday cheesecake. She made sure our food choices came out at the appropriate times — it’s like she thought of everything! She redeemed Red Salt in my eye because I was starting to resent them after a couple of meh experiences. Note: indoors is chilly! Always. Turn down AC Superb dining experience! The ambiance is great, was seated quickly, the entire staff is courteous, and the food is amazing. What more could you ask for? My boyfriend ordered the scallops with a side of Mac and cheese both were delicious and I had the lamb chops. We shared a Tanji roll, which was tasty. His meal arrived before my mine, but we learned directly from the manager, let's call him Mr. Redpants, that my dish had been dropped during delivery! He was genuinely apologetic and even encouraged me to accept a snack on him. I chose the fried oysters, which were good if you like spicy food. My water glass was never empty and our table was never crowded with empty plates. Definitely recommend this restaurant!

The beverage manager here is phenomenal!! He maintains an amazing collection of top shelf bourbons!! He hosts bourbon nights so be sure to check the events list on the website or just reach out and meet him. Parking was simple and easy. It was a busy night but there was ample parking and we were just a short walk to the front door. We started the evening and finished the evening with a tremendous pour of Rare Hare Heigold. It was a new one for our party but it didn’t disappoint. It drank much smoother and cooler than its 110 proof. For an appetizer, we just ordered one as we knew we had rolls in our future. We ordered the crispy oysters. They were tasty with a nice hoisin barbecue sauce. Next onto the rolls. The first three that we had were Mr Miyagi, Poinsettia, and the Baku roll. Consensus was that they were all fantastic but the lead horse was the Baku roll. We ordered 2 more. Again with the Poinsettia for the old faithful and the Red Salt signature roll. One in our party ordered the 14 oz strip Au Poivre style. Perfect finish to the meal. We only had room left for 2 oz of the Rare Hare. I am certain that the desserts here are phenomenal as is every thing else. I look forward to a return trip and saving some room for one. This place is a winner located in Short Pump. Parking: The restaurant is situated in a town square type setting with multiple parking lots.

It’s a very simple review actually. I hate writing these things, but I’m frustrated. I walked in, was seated by a table right at the front door by the bar. Sat for 15 minutes, no acknowledgment or service. The place is packed, and there were plenty of servers with a bunch of managers Who saw me sitting there, yet mostly standing around and flirting with the waitresses. I really hate bad service and no service even more. Being new to this area, I guess my choices are strip mall restaurants that are packed or find different kinds of places.
