Really loved this place! The sushi tasted really fresh and flavorful, with no fishy smell or aftertaste. You can tell the ingredients are good quality and prepared well. Prices are really affordable, especially for the quality. It’s honestly a great value for the taste and freshness you get. The staff were warm and welcoming. I felt totally comfortable and enjoyed some great buddy time. The view is amazing too. It’s right on Lake Union, so you get to enjoy your meal with the lake in front of you, boats passing by, and even a bit of the city skyline in the background. Perfect spot for a nice lunch or dinner and also for the picture time . No complaints at all! I really loved it and would 100% recommend it. Definitely one of my favorite sushi places now.

I LOVE this place. Came over for a quick lunch from work and they have an easy to pick lunch combo option. Came with 2 rolls and miso soup. Edamame was sooo good as well, tasted so fresh and delightful. Everything was quite refreshing and tasty. Service was excellent. Makes my days in office much more pleasant.

We came to try the Seattle restaurant week menu, and ordered the special mini chirashi set plus a couple other a la carte items.
Chirashi set was a bit of a hit and miss – salmon, scallop, uni/ikura all tasted great. The uni was from the east coast and was surprisingly fresh. But other pieces didn’t really stand out. And what was a bit disappointing for me was the rice – sushi rice should have some stickiness, but the rice for this chirashi wasn’t, and it fell apart when you tried to scoop it from the bowl. Also, maybe because we didn’t rush to finish the entire set, but the rice started getting hard as we finished the set.
Another dish we ordered was the grilled miso black cod (gindara), which was also highly recommended by the wait staff. This is a simple but classic Japanese home style dish, and as long as the fish is fresh, it’s a hard dish to mess up. But the black cod today had a fishy after taste which was really disappointing
Overall a bit of a hit and miss. The location is pretty good though and I think the view would be really nice during warmer days. Not a bad place to try if you’re in the area, but not worth going out of your way to visit.

Saw the restaurant week menu on social media last week and was instantly intrigued.
Tried to book a spot, only to find they don’t take solo reservations. What a pity. Came by today as a walk-in and luckily got seated.
When the nine-compartment tray arrived, I realized it’s definitely not meant for one person to finish.
Every item was beautifully prepared and fresh. Taste-wise, this is easily among the best Japanese spots I’ve tried in Seattle (reference points: Shiro’s, Umi, Momiji, Sushi Kashiba, Gyo Gyo En, Sushi Katsu-ya, Japonessa, Maneki, and Sushi Ave).
They even serve miso soup with chopsticks instead of a spoon, authentically Japanese. Also, it’s not one of those “mostly maki roll” Japanese places that’s often seen in the U.S.

Hands down one of my FAVORITE spots to get sushi in Seattle! They’ve got the best uni (sourced from Japan) and geoduck. They are super popular so a lot of things can run out from their special menu, but even more reason to get your hands on everything. Staff are extremely knowledgeable and the place is very clean. They even have outdoor seating and you can see all the boats on the dock.

I went there for lunch and had the Omakase (お任せ) sashimi. It was not only delicious, but a work of art. The green tea mochi dessert was fantastic.

At first, I did not have high expectations because restaurants near institutes don’t usually have the best quality because you get business even if you don’t try. However, I was blown away st how fresh their sashimi was. I got the chirashi bowl and I wish they told me all the types of fish they had in it that day. One was particularly delicious. It came on a well seasoned warm bed of rice – I think a little too much rice. And a nice shiso leaf which I don’t see much in other places. I come from Vancouver Canada and their fish impressed me.

I’ve been a regular at I Love Sushi for years, but the last two visits were so unpleasant that I won’t be returning.
About 2 to 3 months ago, we ordered omakase and were served multiple incorrect dishes. The staff didn’t acknowledge the mistakes or offer an apology. One dish, a tofu dish in sauce, was served with the spoon still in it. It felt like it came straight from the kitchen prep table without any care. We also had to ask for water refills three to five times before anyone finally responded. The experience felt lazy and unprofessional.
Today’s visit was even worse. We walked in and were completely ignored. No greeting, no acknowledgment. When I calmly said that the service felt rude, Jay, the manager, came out and told us we were not welcome at the restaurant.
Being spoken to like that after years of being a loyal customer is absolutely unacceptable. This place has declined in both food quality and hospitality. No customer should be treated this way.

A great spot for fresh sushi and a relaxing atmosphere by Lake Union.
The sushi was incredibly fresh and flavorful, each bite was a delight. The setting by the lake made for a peaceful and enjoyable dining experience. Perfect for a casual lunch or a special dinner. I’ll definitely be coming back!

We ordered a variety of dishes for a team lunch, and everything was decent. The quality is good for the price. While there are better sushi options in Seattle, you’ll definitely pay a lot more for them.
