I Love Sushi

Nice location, free parking if you scan the free 30 min parking garage app then they have another QR code when you get inside. Edamame was too salty, pork ramen was yummy, rolls were delicious. Waitress was good but took too long to bring the check when we were ready to go.

We had a fabulous dining experience here. Our server Maye, was fantastic. We like to mix plum wine & same as a favorite cocktail with our sushi. Maye & the bartender were great at making that happen. The ginger salad was crisp & fresh & the edamame was great. We order a few rolls that were delicious. Loved the Smashville Roll. We highly recommend this place & look forward to coming back when in town.

I love sushi is one of my favorite restaurants in Nashville. I love the shaggy dog, crunchy shrimp and ginger salad. I think this place is underrated, 10/10 recommend.

I've dined in and out of this place numerous times. I was so disappointed with this take out order. Just wanted a quick bite but wasn't too hungry. Ordered one of their signature rolls, thinking it would be enough since signature rolls are a pretty good size. This was so small and the size of a normal rolll. I understand the cost of food has gone up, but this is ridiculous. I don't think I'll be ordering takeout from there again.

I love the food, service was above and beyond. Am definitely going back and would highly recommend! 10 out of 10 for sure.

The service was amazing! We had an appetizer that was hot and the salad was phenomenal! The sushi was great. Our favorite was the “o” roll. The drinks were also strong and brought out quickly. The atmosphere is fun! We watched the SEC championship game and had great conversation! We will definitely be back!

I had an amazing dining experience at this restaurant today. First, the food was absolutely delicious. The seafood was especially fresh and flavorful. The rolls were great, but the sashimi was outstanding. The staff was super friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed from start to finish. The atmosphere was also fantastic. It was young, lively, and comfortable, which made the dining experience even better. Parking was convenient, and the free parking time was generous. I will definitely be coming back here. I highly recommend it to my friends and family. It's one of the best sushi places in Nashville.

Everything was fresh with generous portioning. Fast service as well and we love the place. I highly recommend this resto and its located in a not so busy spot.

If you're a sushi enthusiast, I Love Sushi should be at the top of your list! This restaurant has everything I look for in a sushi spot: incredibly fresh ingredients, a wide variety of options, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. It's clear from the first bite that I Love Sushi takes pride in the quality and presentation of their dishes. Every piece is thoughtfully prepared, beautifully plated, and bursting with flavor. The freshness here is unmatched. The fish is tender and flavorful, with that perfect, delicate texture that only truly fresh sushi has. Their sashimi is particularly impressive--each slice is generous and practically melts in your mouth. The rice is consistently well-seasoned and expertly cooked, making every roll and nigiri a satisfying experience. They also offer an array of specialty rolls, combining unique flavors that work harmoniously together without overshadowing the star of the show--the fish itself. Beyond the food, the staff at I Love Sushi add so much to the experience. They're attentive, friendly, and always happy to make recommendations if you're unsure about what to try. Whether you're dining in or ordering takeout, they ensure that every detail is taken care of. The service is quick without sacrificing quality, and you can tell that customer satisfaction is a priority. The restaurant itself has a clean, modern ambiance that's perfect for any occasion--whether it's a casual lunch, a night out with friends, or a special date. The menu offers something for everyone, from traditional options to creative rolls, making it a place that both sushi purists and adventurous eaters can enjoy. Prices are reasonable given the high quality, and there are plenty of options for various budgets. In short, I Love Sushi is a must-visit for anyone who loves sushi. The combination of fresh, flavorful dishes and wonderful service makes it one of the best sushi experiences around. I can't wait to return and try even more of their offerings!

Had the mariachi roll and salmon roll and it was fine... I would go back They offered chicken soup as an appetizer

We ordered to go after a nearby sporting event - the online process was easy and I was quoted 15 minutes after I ordered. There is plenty of street parking near the brightly lit restaurant. We arrived before the 15 minute quoted time and our order was already packaged up and ready to go! We ordered the spring rolls (4 in the order), pork gyoza, kids shrimp hibachi, California roll, and spicy crab roll for a total of $43. The bag included several pairs of chopsticks, soy sauce, and napkins! The food was good - we really enjoyed the sushi that was packed with filling and flavor. The gyoza was cold but it's wintertime here. Would definitely recommend this for a quick and yummy meal.

Very good quality sushi for a good price. My server was very quick and a great attitude and smile! Wide open spaces for a large group of people if needed. Highly recommended!

Sooooooo good! I ordered out food was ready when I got there. Turned a typical evening into a really enjoyable experience

I decided to get sushi one day after work. I went around 6pm on a Tuesday night and the crowd was light. I didn't make a reservation and was able to get seated right away. Our waiter was nice, but bless his heart he didn't know anything about the menu. He tried, but he was so wrong lol. We had to get the manager, who was able to tell us more about the menu and gf options. I decided to go with the experience, and which came with 3 different types of rolls. Each roll was good. The experience allowed me to have a variety. I know, I'm greedy lol. The experience also came with miso soup and a salad. This meal was plentiful and I had leftovers for the next day.

Was at Blackstone and the beertender suggested I Love Sushi as a place that had great sushi for a decent price. Lucked out and got the last spot in front and popped in to grab a bit. To be honest, the prices are not that decent. I might feel differently if the sushi was off the chart (try Takashi in Salt Lake City or Shibuya in Calabasas, CA). This is fairly average sushi and a bit pricier than some other average sushi joints in the Nashville area. We started with a calamari appetizer, which was probably the highlight. They served it whole rather than in rings (see picture). Maybe a bit overdone, but it was still in that soft stage between chewy (undercooked) and hard (overcoooked). The sauce was nice and added to the dish. I ordered a sushi combination and she ordered a roll (wish I remembered the name and too lazy to Google now). Both were good. I did like that the fish matched the rice ball size and the rice was not overbearing (another review of a place in Rome). Fish was fresh, but I have had tastier rice and fish at some other bars around the country. Overall, if the price was a bit lower, I might tack on another star. My understanding is they have great lunch and happy hour specials, so I would aim for this if you are seeking sushi.

Walked here from Centennial Park, great location and ambiance (****) Service was mediocre especially considering we came on weekend for lunch and was pretty slow (***) Food quality was poor, especially the quality of the Tuna. Very pale and tasteless. All in all not the best experience (**) If you're just looking for the closest thing to a sushi place and quality isn't a big deal then I recommend; if your more discerning I suggest keep looking for a more authentic experience

Great options for someone who doesn't typically like sushi! This place has a ton of sushi options for veteran sushi-lovers, but as someone who typically doesn't enjoy sushi or raw fish, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the options here! Instead of defaulting to a safe bet of teriyaki chicken, I decided to try the Love Wheel Roll (bottom of the photo) and it was delicious. The top roll was the Salmon Lover Roll and my partner equally enjoyed that as well.

Fantastic fresh sushi. Arrived on a weekday night and although a little crowded we,party of 5 mind you, were seated in less than 5min. Waitress was prompt with service and quickly took the drink order. Food order was taken as drinks arrived. Now bout this sushi...The Spider, Dragon, and the Shaggy....absolutely some of the best sushi I've eaten in quite some time. Very fresh ingredients...nice bite. If you happen to be around I strongly suggest this for a good sushi option. Very lovely restaurant...fresh modern vibe!!

I fell in love with the "I Love Sushi" brand down in Huntsville, AL. I don't know if they are connected but looks like the same font and logo. Menu is huge but everything seems expensive...they probably have a high $ rent to keep up with there and cost of food these days. Everything was delicious and on point with other similar Japanese or sushi places. Nothing makes this stand out from others though. Parking sucks here if you can get in the deck but ask for their 30' comp QR code when you get in.

Was here for large group event and the employees were very accommodating! Ordered a salmon lover roll and spicy salmon roll. Not the best sushi I've had in Nashville, but it was filling! Parking may be difficult as well.

We have walked by this place so many times, but finally tried it last Friday. I am sorry we waited. It was so good! The space is a lot bigger than expected. The service was spot-on and the sushi was terrific. Pricing was very reasonable, too. We will be back!

I love sushi has delicious food! Our table ordered so much food and we'e starving and I missed quite a few pictures haha. We of course started with edamame (it's a classic) and then the shrimp appetizer. The shrink was good a little too rich for my flavor pallet. Then we ordered yellow tail that was delicious! Highly recommend the yellowtail! For my main course I ordered ramen (it was a colder day) and split a Nash Vegas with my husband. Both were delicious and soo much food! I highly recommend ordering an extra egg in the ramen, it is so tasty! Also our waitress was really attentive and even helped my family make some modifications to rolls based on their preferences.

Amazing sushi spot near Vanderbilt University. It's run by a super talented and sweet couple. I am very picky about sushi and was pleasantly surprised to find such a high quality place in Nashville. The service was top notch as well! I will definitely come back to try more from their menu when I'm in Nashville.

Still fire. I enjoy this place every time I go. Lychee martini: still great, not too sweet but just sweet enough. Very solid cocktail. Pork gyoza: perfectly crisp, nice and juicy. (Oh and these come with 6, but I ate 2 before I remembered to take a picture lol) Got the steamed pork buns this time as well. 3.5/5. Pork belly was delicious as always and the bun was nice and soft. I believe there was apple or something on it which added a nice, fresh sweetness. I think it could use more sauce because it was a bit too dry but still tasty. Everyone is very nice! Great service, water was refilled regularly. Cool decor. Definitely a nice spot to bring friends.

I think sushi here was phenomenal. I haven't had this good quality of sushi in a long time, in fact, never in the Nashville area. The restaurant was very spacious, the waitress made sure we had everything we needed, and again, the food quality was over the top. I recommend this place as a date night!!!

I rarely write reviews--it's just not my style. After 14 years in kitchens, I've seen my share of bad habits and corner-cutting, but what I'm witnessing now is a new low in culinary malpractice. I'm sitting at the sushi bar, watching a chef--clearly the one in charge--sneeze violently into a trash can. Not a hand-wash, not a pause for dignity. Before I can process the horror, he grabs what looks like snapper, leans it against the rim of the same trash can, and starts scaling it with the kind of nonchalance you'd expect from someone peeling a potato. I feel like I'm in the middle of a bad fever dream, only this one ends with me praying I don't end up sick--or worse--on my flight home. This isn't just unprofessional. It's an insult to anyone who has ever cared about food, or their customers. Some kitchens are temples. This one's a crime scene.

Great food and great staff. Went on a Sunday afternoon and they had lunch specials available but I opted for the special rolls which weren't included. 10 out of 10 would recommend by yourself or with a large group

Sushi was so good and fresh! It made my stay at a hotel perfect. I ordered there 4 nights in row!

We were in the Nashville area for the CMA fest. We stopped in for an early dinner. The food was very good. Service was quick and the staff was super nice. The interior is well kept and clean. We will definitely come back.

I'd recommend I Love Sushi for a quick and straightforward experience with 4-star sushi. You'll find traditional Japanese options as well as fusion options on the menu. I would happily go back. A group of 4 friends and I visited I Love Sushi for a late lunch one Sunday afternoon with the goal of a quick, tasty, chill meal on the outskirts of Nashville. We got exactly what we needed! Two of us got just sushi, a third got the lunch deal with included specific sushi roll options+soup+salad and the fourth got a bento box with fried cutlet+soup+salad+one sushi roll. I heard no complaints and enjoyed my simple sushi rolls just fine. We did have some snickers around the "love"-themed menu item names, but didn't dwell on it too much. Our food came so quickly! Our waitress was great. Friendly and helpful and quick. The kitchen was *really* quick, actually, definitely due to us being some of the last customers of the day (the restaurant closes in the early afternoon on Sundays). There were very few other customers while we were there. LOGISTICS: * Single stall bathrooms are available to the right of the bar, men's and women's * Paid street parking available, free on Sundays!Single-stall * Two levels of seating are available, an upstairs and a downstairs

In town for a conference so, decided before my flight to grab lunch nearby the Loews. Walked a half a mile and saw this place. Nice place with TVs to watch games and a nice patio. Service seemed a bit slow with servers not sure who was covering my table. I ordered edamame and a spicy tuna hand roll. They served me a regular spicy tuna roll, no big deal. It was a good roll not, best I've had. Then I ordered the seared ahi tuna salad. This was very good and the dressing was the reason. Some sort of spicy ginger dressing. Salad was mixed greens with avocado. No reason not to hear back next time in town.

Went for lunch and did the all you can eat. Good quality food, lots of options, good portions. I have a shellfish allergy so I tried to sub the shrimp out and they wouldn't on the set menu which was a bummer so it really limited the rolls I could try that I wanted to. Other than that, the food was good.

Cute little sushi spot with affordable pricing. Wasn't a fan of the miso soup or the salad. Fish was good but was not expecting octopus And calamari to be mixed in my sashimi platter. Service was fine, but we lost our server at the end. We paid our bill with another server and when we were getting up to leave she finally came back to gives us our paid bill again due to her inattentive service.

Upon walking in, there were more people in for a Monday than expected. The cleanliness in the space and bathroom could use a bit of work (minor). There's a stinch and a few gnats (small bugs) in the air. The R&B remakes / covers playing in the background was welcoming though and the bartender was super attentive and helpful. She kept her space clean and was amazing! The food was quick to come out and was fresh! I started with miso soup which never fails! The yellowtail jalapeno apwas a great price for what you get and it was tasty! I wrapped up with the out of control roll which was recommended by the bartender. Fire. A mouthful but so yummy!

My friends and I saw a sushi chef that was cutting up fish in the visible open kitchen eat two pieces of meat and continue working!! Need I say more? There is more if you're still reading and not disgusted. Our server was extremely apathetic and seemed to not like her job. My friend got the shaggy dog roll and it was rolled incorrectly with cucumber pieces falling out when the roll was picked up. The broccoli that came with the chicken teriyaki was painfully watery and bland, and the chicken was dry (white without much sauce as seen in the attached picture). The food also took 30 mins to come out at least, and we were there at a not-busy time. At least the restaurant is modern and has an updated, classy interior. Overall: will never come here again or recommend it- chefs are eating the food while preparing food for guests, the rolls were rolled incorrectly, and the other dishes were dry and bland + poor service and slow service. Not worth the money. Head somewhere else for sushi.

Found my rice in Nashville. I couldn't wait to eat here. Everything tasted delicious and with good company we weren't disappointed! Pork ramen was my favorite.

The sushi here is amazing. The Jalapeño Bomb is especially good. I highly recommend you give it a try!

Sam was very accommodating! She was very nice and attentive. I had the Yellowtail Jalapeño and the Shaggy dog. Both were delicious and fresh. To drink I had the Hokkaido martini and it was okay.. a little sweet for my liking but still palatable. Parking was okay as the had some street parking out front. Atmosphere is cozy and inviting. I'll be back!

I'm not a sushi fan but I really enjoyed the chicken udon meal, but I didn't enjoy the chicken soba that I ordered for takeout. Not sure if it was the in-person vs takeout or noodle difference, but it won't deter me from not trying again. Had a cocktail with a friend and we both got really rosy & didn't feel great after it (only one, we're normal drinkers) so thinking we got bad vodka. Probably wouldn't order a cocktail again. This place is always busy, especially when it's nice out. Good amount of patio seating (dog friendly too). Lots of indoor seating, bigger than you think from the outside. The service was good for the times - we had a really nice waitstaff.

Found this little sushi place while staying at the Loews hotel. We wanted a break from heavy, fried food and based on the reviews, gave it a shot. Was definitely a great spot for lunch. The lunch specials cannot be beat. Two rolls Plus miso soup and a salad for only $14, stellar deal. We also had the jalapeno popper app and that was great. Not spicy at all as the seeds were hollowed out. Service was excellent. Was it the best sushi I've ever had, no, but was it solid, absolutely. Would I recommend it for someone who's in the area and wants to grab a great priced lunch, you bet!!!

Honestly, this was one of the better sushi spots in Nashville. I enjoyed it so much I went twice in one week. The staff was great, and always timely with our orders. RECOMMEND

Another gem in Nashville! We went for a quick bite and I was very impressed with how fresh and flavorful everything was. The pork bao appetizer was decent but I wish the temperature was better. I had the spicy tuna and cucumber avocado rolls and enjoyed every single bite. Since I have a shellfish allergy I couldn't try the other two rolls, but my friends thoroughly enjoyed them! Prices were decent, service was fast and reliable. Definitely recommend this spot!

Clean. Good food, good service. The sushi was fresh and prepared like artwork. Definitely a 5 star, will be returning. Visiting from California.

I went on a Friday night and street parked in the back of the building. The restaurant is big with plenty of seating so we were seated immediately for a table of 3. I ordered the spicy tuna roll, salmon belly nigiri, and the shaggy dog roll. All were very enjoyable and tasted good! Quality sushi and reasonably priced.

I had surprisingly great fish in Nashville. Great food. Great people. Bartender Anna was friendly and made me feel at home. Highly recommend this place.

Food was delicious. Very clean and healthy meal. Quick service. Great aesthetic. Fantastic service.

This place stays busy and I can see why. The college scene really likes this place. The restaurant is large. They have upstairs, indoor and outdoor seating. The quality of sushi here is so good. Sometimes it's hard to find good sushi.

Unfortunately the lunch plate was HORRIBLE. I chose the yellowtail with scallion roll and the tuna roll. BOTH were flavorless...miso soup and ginger dressing salad included. Soup tasted like dirty water and although I love ginger dressing, the salad was soaked in it. All in all...WORST, Don't waste your money or time. Waitress was nice so I gave her a 40% tip...I hope she finds a new job.

BEST FOOD IVE HAD IN TOWN ITS SOOOO GOOD (better than Hattie b's). xoxoxoxoxooxoxoxo Love ya more than sushii

We enjoyed a light early Thursday evening dinner with three different specialty rolls: Out of Control, Shaggy Dog and Zombie. Wanted to try something different than the normal as you might guess from the names. All 3 were very good; couldn't decide whether shaggy dog or OOC was my favorite! Staff was very friendly and service quick (though evening rush was just starting)

I've been passing by for a bit and I'm glad I finally ate here! It's a nice vibe in there, the decor is cute and the service was great. I ordered the Viagra roll, takoyaki and pork ramen. The food came out quick and oh my goodness the takoyaki and ramen were so yummy; the sushi did its job lol. I've always wanted to try takoyaki but haven't been to a restaurant with and they did NOT disappoint! I'll definitely be back

The sushi restaurant near my home closed so I have been DESPERATE to find a new one. Thank goodness for I Love Sushi! Their sushi is delicious. Their location is awesome. The presentation is gorgeous. I placed a large order and was pleasantly surprised to see how they made two lovely platters for me. The name didn't grab me... and I wasn't sure if this would be a "serious" sushi spot. But it is and more! The service is friendly and welcoming. Parking in the attached garage. Or there are a few spots right out front if you get lucky.

When you're from California. I Love Sushi. Was extremely affordable!!! The price for the amount and quality was unmatched!!!!

I Love Sushi is one of my go-to places for sushi in Nashville that I know will be consistently good every time. Although it's a little more expensive than the average place, their fish is fresh, service is great, and they have options for everyone (not just a bunch of shrimp tempura/spicy tuna rolls... not that there's anything wrong with that, just not my thing). Sushi is my favorite food, and I've tried A TON of places, so I'm a bit picky. I recommend the salmon lovers roll and rainbow Naruto roll!

Starting with the hostess, continuing with Sam, my wonderful server, every second of tonight has been "on". Draft Kirin. Ginger salad (what value) to start, not complicated, good flavor. Five fried oysters perfectly prepared with the right sauce. Unagi, bam! (Haha, never wrote that before) And a special tuna roll w jalepeños rounded out the savory. Red bean and vanilla mochi to finish. I'm sated. All for under $50. Sat outside surrounded by the Vandy crews. Lovely evening.

Great atmosphere and great sushi! The experience was AMAZING! The "O" roll and Pink Pleasure Roll are to die for! The Viagra roll was great, but we are not the biggest fans of cream cheese on a sushi roll. Outside of that, the viagra roll was actually delicious. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the service.

10/10 the sushi was fresh the service was great our server Allie was exceptional can't wait to be back
