This is a nice sushi restaurant located in the harbor in Lake Union. The sushi and bento box lunch is excellent and well priced. The fish is extremely fish and everything was quite good. We ate there twice on our trip and the only complaint is the seating on the far side of the bar isn't so nice. Will definitely... More

We had high expectations being close to a mecca for fresh fish, in Seattle. Unfortunately, we were underwhelmed by the quality. Other than a few exceptions, the fish was not very tasty or fresh.. the hamachi actually had a fishy smell, which is a big no no for sushi places. The rolls we had looked very nice, but lacked any...

We decided to go to I Love Sushi because it was within walking distance of our hotel and we love sushi. We arrived as a group of three and were seated right away though it was quite a full house. Our waitress, whose name I didn't catch, was very nice and knowledgeable when we picked her brain on what we,... More

I was really impressed with the wonderful selection of local seafood available at I Love Sushi. The restaurant has a lovely view of Lake Union. Fish is totally fresh, much of it locally sourced. Sushi roll selections are quite creative. Try the Pacific Northwest Special, Ocean Alexander Roll, and the freshwater eel. Service is great. There's a good beer, wine,... More

My local friend Bruce brought us here because the sushi is solid. It's a large place (by sushi bar standards) that is obviously very popular. The dining room is pretty dark - unlike most sushi places I've been to - with a view of the boats on Lake Union. They have beautiful fish and I finally got to try a... More

I'll begin with location, which is not the best. The restaurant has a limited number of tables, some being near the window giving the open view of the lake and marina. And the best part is the food which is so delicious that you'll want to come again.

The happy hour is a great place to start out. They have unusual rolls and great specials daily. They have a great view of boats on Lake Union in the summer.

If you are very hungry and yearning for a hearty meal- this is not the place. If you love fresh sushi and want the atmosphere (other than the music which was mostly comprised of dead pop stars), then this is just the ticket. The drinks are expensive and limited, the menu is vast in sushiness- not much else. Unless you... More
