I got sushi and my friend got hibachi. My friend's hibachi was very dry and chewy. The rice came out with too much soy sauce on it. My sushi was weirdly sweet. I love eel sauce but this tasted off. The size of the sushi was generous but just ok overall. read more

The food is absolutely amazing. The Moua Roll is my favorite but anything you order is quite tasty. The service is great. The Moua family are very friendly and attentive. They make a point to get to know you. The decor is very simple and it is a very relaxing place just to chill. read more

My adult daughter and son and I had a spectacular lunch at I (heart) sushi in Oak Ridge, TN....it was nothing short of amazing! I had the hibachi beef combo that came with fantastic mushroom soup. Our other entrees were the rainbow sushi that came in huge boat bowls. We also had the Thai Tea...omg, it was so good. Our server was so friendly and pleasant. It was a totally great experience. On a scale of 1-5, it's a 10!!!! We will be back for sure. read more

Best sushi in the Knoxville and surrounding areas. We've gone to some of the more "sought after" or "well known" sushi restaurants and have gotten smelly rolls from two different locations, leaving us with upset stomachs. This seafood at iHeart Sushi is ALWAYS fresh, the portions are fantastic and the flavors are to-die-for. It's always worth our 30min drive to have this quality of sushi. The service is always kind and attentive, as a family run business we really love and respect the atmosphere they have created. Some of our favorites: Rainbow Roll, Moua Roll and of course, Chef's Choice roll. With the last one mentioned, you make a few requests like "spice level" and "raw or cooked" and the chef creates something unique and not on the menu, just for you! We will never cease in our loyalty to this family's business and hope they are blessed to continue growing and someday expanding! read more

Great sushi and huge rolls!!! Don't order 2 unless you have a huge appetite! They were also great quality and wonderful service.

Wonderful food and service as always!! The selection is amazing! The Moua Roll is addictive, and a family favorite!!!

I have now tried I Heart Sushi twice. They are located over by Hobby Lobby and currently (Dec. 2021) only doing to-go, curbside pickup. The ordering is easy and communication great. They ask what car you will be driving so they can pop outside and bring you your grub. The first time, we ordered Dragon roll, California roll, crunchy crab roll and shrimp hibachi. The dragon was definitely the best roll of the three, with the most textures and flavors. All of the sushi was well-made and fresh. I clearly forgot that the hibachi was disappointing, because I ordered it again on visit #2. Doh! The most recent visit, I ordered the crunchy shrimp roll and chicken hibachi dinner. The sushi was well-made again, but it was simply fried shrimp in rice topped with what seemed like their shrimp sauce perhaps mixed with mayo? It really could have used avocado or cucumber, even roe to add a different texture. It still served its purpose. The hibachi contained chicken, rice in the shape of a heart, and mixed veggies (zucchini, peppers, and onions galore). Both the shrimp during trip 1 and the chicken during visit 2 were abundant. Since these dinners are pricey, it is nice that there is so much protein. This time, the fried rice-which is the kind that is white rice with a bit of soy sauce mixed in- was hard and not many veggies. So bummed. I appreciate that there is a side salad or soup offered with the hibachi dinners. I really, REALLY wish I loved this place...especially since it is so close to home. Next time, I will avoid the hibachi but would still order from the small sushi menu here if I really needed a fix. read more

The "rangoon stix" were filled with absolutely nothing but imitation crab. No sauce or cream cheese, nothing. I was disappointed with my hand roll as it had nothing but salmon and rice. Other than problems with the food, the bill was absurd. For 1 hand roll and 1 regular roll with the crab stix our total was 31.85. If you add 8 plus 10 plus 8 plus tax that gives you just over 28 dollars. We already thought the prices were a little steep as they were increased from the online menu. They added 3 extra dollars to the hand roll on the bill with no explanation. We just paid it and as we were paying there was also a credit card charge. We left paying 40 dollars for the small, small amount of food we got. So disappointed and honestly angry. Would not recommend. read more

Good service, decent ambience. Food was good. Huge portions. Would've only got 1 roll and split with my girlfriend had I known how big the rolls were. Mouau roll and vegetable tempura was so good. Super creamy and good salad dressing. Will definitely be back read more

Very fresh and fun rolls. The mushroom soup is excellent. This is a little pricey but you do get larger rolls. I'd like to see possibly smaller rolls for less just so you can try the flavors without committing to such a huge roll. We will be back! read more

Having company at my home four weekends in a row and this store is closed every single time no fail. I used to go to this sushi spot so often and it seems it is almost never open anymore on the weekends. read more

One of our all time favorite sushi places: family-owned, always fresh, never too long of a wait! My family is obsessed with the Moua roll, a sweet and lightly spicy crab roll that is crave-worthy! The prices for the traditional rolls feel a liiiittle high to me, but the special rolls are priced for the quality ingredients AND huge portion sizes. (For reference, my husband and I split the Moua roll and each get a mushroom soup and are STUFFED by the end.) The staff is very friendly, and the restaurant is always clean and orderly. Definitely stop in if you are a sushi lover, or just for the perfect cozy-weather meal in their mushroom soup. read more

I Heart Sushi - Moua Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Oak Ridge, Tennessee

BEST SUSHI IN TOWN! If you are up for the drive to Oak Ridge, which you definitely should be, you will be very happy you did with the deliciously large fresh sushi rolls, that is extremely affordable. Most people say Nama is the best, but I have to disagree. If you think Nama is the best sushi place in this town then you have not been to I Heart Sushi. The guy who owns this place worked at Sushi Spot in Powell, and had a very large following there. He has now opened his own spot, in a small shopping center right next to Hobby Lobby, which has now been open for a year. His family also has the popular Knoxville restaurant called Sticky Rice Cafe, so that should also tell you the quality is 100% there. The pot stickers (& the sauce with the pot stickers was delish), and the sushi rolls we tried were excellent - the 4J's roll, and the Moua Roll (Sushi Spot has this roll called the Jake Roll, because so many people ordered that, he had to rename it at his place). They only have beer, but I bet if you wanted to bring a bottle of wine they would allow that too. They also close pretty early because Oak Ridge itself shuts down pretty early. So get there before 9 on most nights and you should be good to go. I hope you enjoy this sushi place as much as I do! Cheers & Enjoy! read more

The food was excellent with full of flavor! I was shocked kingly surprised by the courteous nature of the employees and cooks. I definitely will be revisiting this place again! read more

I'm not a fan of sushi but their hibachi entrees are delicious. Generous portions, good soups and always terrific service. A nice place, not too loud and comfortable. read more

Love their sushi. It's the best. I've tried other restaurants because I'm a sushi lover but haven't found anyone that meets I sushi tastes

I will never go there again. The food was okay but the service was slow. When the waitress finally brought the bill and we paid...she came back and said she gave us the lunch price and it was the dinner hour and asked for the difference with no apology. We will not be returning bad business. read more

Seating was fast and plentiful. Restaurant was clean and the service was prompt and pleasant. Started with the mushroom soup. Very good beef broth with plenty of mushrooms. Soup is very hot. Had a 4J roll. It was great. Plenty of fish and NOT mostly rice. Prices are reasonable for good quality sushi. Will definitely be back........soon. read more

The waiter was and staffs were nice but the spicy tuna roll wasn't spicy what so ever and the tuna felt off when I had 3 rolls and after that I felt sick to my stomach after eating the spicy tuna rolls and the waiter took every long to give us our bill and the when I told the waiter about the spicy roll didn't taste good or felt off she didn't care to take it off the bill. I don't recommend coming here for sushi read more

Absolutely wonderful! Excellent sushi and fantastic service. The moua roll is the best!

Honestly, big sushi lover here and I feel like I have a decent idea of "good" quality sushi. Expectations were low from the start just simply based on location. I ordered simple hand rolls (take out because that's all they're doing currently) nothing too crazy. Spicy tuna, and multiple salmon rolls and some nigiri. I hate even complaining about restaurants and even called to mention the problem and it was mentioned that "the chef would be talked to" but this was just bad. I know sushi has a "fish" smell....duh it's fish... but the texture, smell, and even the color was just all wrong. I know their meat cannot possibly be caught and served the same day but this was multiple, multiple, MULTIPLE days old and did not look NOR taste appetizing. Definitely not worth the price and quality of the food was subpar at best. I do not recommend unless you have A SERIOUSLY LOOK AT YOUR FOOD BEFORE PAYING. USE ALL THE SENSES or maybe just get sushi from Kroger instead, I'd rust it more to be honest. 2 stars just because the workers were decently friendly but that's all I'm giving. read more

Amazing sushi. Wow! Gotta try the tia roll. A little pricey but definitely worth it! I was full after half a roll! read more

I Heart Sushi - Tia roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Oak Ridge, Tennessee

The sushi here is really great, BUT for some reason they cannot cook meat for hibachi. I've been here many times and the chicken or beef is ALWAYS overdone and chewy. Secondly, and perhaps even more frustrating is you never know when they are going to be open. I tried to get sushi there tonight 12/27. Called, no message saying they were closed. Drove by there and no sign or anything on the door even though according to Google they were supposed to be open. read more

We heard about I Sushi when we came into town the last time, but we were unable to try it. That was a big mistake, this place is great! We got the Moua Roll, Spicy Shrimp roll, and the Philadelphia roll; they were so geesh and so good! We saw the many pictures and comments on how great the Moua roll was, boy were they right! This is definitely a place I will be going to each time I am in town! If you have not tried this place, it is definitely worth taking the time out to give this local restaurant (aka gem) a try. read more

I am a foody I moved here from NJ and have eaten in the best restaurants up there so when I say the sushi here is amazing it really is. You can tell they use the freshest ingredients and the chef is an artist. I've never had sushi so detailed in flavor and color. I came here with my family and my son who doesn't eat sushi tried it and is now a sushi lover. The service was very attentive and great atmosphere. I will be coming here for all my sushi needs! Wish them all the best with this new opening . read more

This place is soooooo good. I'd drive to Oak Ridge just to eat here. All of the specialty rolls are huge. Easily enough for 2 people to split one for lunch. The staff are really friendly. Just a few tables and a sushi bar. If you are near by you should eat here. read more

Always amazing! been going there for 4+ years and they haven't switched up anything. always amazing quality!

Great place. Pick-up only since C19 but very high quality sushi made in traditional styles. Highly recommended.

Without a doubt this is the the best sushi restaurant within a 15 hour drive... maybe further! The biggest portions, most flavorful and visually appealing rolls anywhere! Jake has been making fantastic rolls for many years and with the help of family he has opened a great restaurant in Oak Ridge. Quality, fresh ingredients in everything they serve, combined with creative presentation make everything they have outstanding! Priced well under the portion value(don't tell them)... try out "I Heart Sushi" soon it will immediately become a favorite! read more

I am a massive Sushi connoisseur (SNOB) from California. I am a health nut and LOVE sushi - This place ROCKS. I was crazy surprised to find this place in the middle of nowhere Tennessee while I was there for work. Family owned, super welcoming and great service. The Chief will make you ANYTHING you want, just give him some guidance on what you like/don't like and the rolls will start flying out to your liking. I went here two days in a row it was so good. Tried every roll on the menu and even got some house special rolls that rocked out socks off. They are working on their full liquor license (no Sake - I know...It's not their fault, and they know too) but they have a good selection of traditional and standard beers. Fish was super fresh/quality and portions were right on point. Go on, get cha' some. read more

I absolutely love eating here. The Moua Rolls are brilliant! They social distance and follow COVID guidelines from what I can tell. Although I like eating in, but they only have curbside pickup. But I understand. They're always super nice I didn't rate them 5 stars for two reasons. The only thing I have a problem with is the pickled ginger that comes with the sushi. It's not always the best. And I really want to eat in. read more

I don't know what Mrs. C is talking about. I have been twice and the food is amazing. All some people want to do is down a business. The sushi that comes to your table is monstrous and very tasty. The Moua roll along with the Vlack roll is great! Service is very good. Yeah the fried rice doesn't have any veggies or eggs in it but the rice is very tasty. You get good value for your money and leave very satisfied. So give this place a try. read more
