What People Are Saying About I Love Sushi

In Short – Expect to find bustling, bright, high-energy sushi bars with exquisite, bargain-priced fish and a friendly, helpful staff. Fresh, bright options include intensely fresh maguro tuna and sweet, cool shrimp. Daring diners could try the sea urchin, though its yellowish, tongue-like appearance is difficult to overlook. Excellent hot dishes include flame-broiled fish cheeks, tempura and chawan mushi (a steamed custard that is the ultimate in Japanese comfort food).

What to Eat::
Feel free to indulge in fried treats; they use rice bran oil for all deep-frying.

Expensive, Mediocre Sushi

by chubbybunnyone at Citysearch

I LOVE sushi. I don't mind spending money on sushi, as long as the fish is fresh and high quality. I Love Sushi is just average to me. I usually get nigiri and sushi rolls, and have tried their udon a few times. The udon is terribly bland compared to what I've had at other restaurants. The nigiri is just average. The sushi rolls are actually pretty tasty though.

Warning! going down hill - poor quality

by Tommyseattle at Citysearch

Had lunch with a client there 6/16/09. I ordered Chirashi Special. I ended up with some serious food poisXXning with nausea, fever, chill, abdominal cramping, and diarXrhea.

This place used to be quality. NOw, it is runned by snobby Japanese Chefs that don't wash their hands. 2 people in my same table had diarrheaX. Service was slowed.

I am still suffering from cramping eating there. This place should be avoided. The reviews here are not up to date.

  • Cons: fever, nausea, vomitingx, abdominal cramping, and diarXrhea

One of the best sushi places in Seattle

by HendryP at Citysearch

This restaurant is one of the best sushi restaurants in Bellevue area. Both the rolls and entrees are excellent. I'd suggest SpiderRolls and ChickenKatsu; very crispy and tender. Get their green tea ice creams if you still have enough room in your stomach for desserts; it's super good. No problem finding a parking. The service was great and atmosphere inside was nice. In the summer when it's still bright at night, you can see a lake outside the restaurant even though it doesn't look too nice. The food was pricey.

Will go there again but only for special occasions.

Can't go wrong!

by uwhusky91 at Citysearch

Their food is always good, always fresh. Don't think I've had a bad experience there before. The menu is somewhat pricey, but the sushi's all worth it.

I Love Sushi- The best sushi in Bellevue or Seattle

by mariehart28 at Citysearch

I have been going to "I Love Sushi" from the first day they opened their doors. I can say they have been consistant each time I visit. It is the best. I am never disappointed, fish is always the freshest, tempura is perfect each time. Service is wonderful, luch is as good as dinner they understand the time people have for lunch but the food does not suffer from the pressure to get you back to the office. The only place that can out do "I Love Sushi" is a place in Honolulu. I would not even bother to experiment with another sushi place. Why bother when you have the best there is.

  • Pros: Great service, fresh fresh fresh fish, friendly
  • Cons: can't get enough
