I Love Sushi in Midtown Nashville was a great experience from start to finish. The yellowtail belly was incredibly fresh, buttery, and melted in your mouth--easily a standout. The Sunshine Roll was beautifully balanced, flavorful, and perfectly executed. On top of that, the service was attentive and timely without ever feeling rushed. Solid quality sushi paired with great service makes this an easy place to return to. Highly recommend if you're in Midtown and craving sushi! read more

I Love Sushi - Yellowtail Belly and Sunshine Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Been coming here for 5 years and it still is great. It's not fancy at all, but it's just a good, reliable sushi spot in midtown. Perfect for a regular date night or dinner with coworkers or friends. The lunch special is unbeatable though for the price. The chirashi is good, but you really can't go wrong with any of the rolls either. The Out of Control roll is my favorite. If you saved room for dessert, the fried ice cream is SO good. It's not for everyone but if you like fried ice cream, just know this is a good one! read more

The food is very filling. The service was really nice and not overbearing. It's a great place to relax with a group of girlfriends. read more

I Love sushi is a handsome and spacious restaurant with high ceilings. We didn't come to Nashville for Sushi but after all of the great BBQ, we needed to get back to our favorite food. We were very pleasantly surprised by the craftsmanship and freshness of the sushi. One of my wife's favorite sushi is Salmon Skin Roll. She said this was the best she ever had in 40 years. The salmon skin was perfectly cooked and the sauce was exquisite. The skimpy, bland shumai appetizer was the only disappointment. Our other appetizer of fried tofu was tasty, delicate and light. The Dragon Roll was expertly prepared and the seared tuna roll was very flavorful. Clearly, they have a very skilled sushi chef. My wife surprised me on my birthday by secretly ordering green tea ice cream but they exceeded our expectations with a bowl of several scoops of green tea ice cream, surrounded by an array of mochi - all on the house! Our server was very friendly and professional. I Love Sushi will be added to our short list of fine restaurants to visit when we return to is quite a sound Nashville. read more

I didn't have any crazy expectation for I Love Sushi but it was so good! They offer happy hour deals as well. Service was quick and everyone was kind. They were pretty busy for a Tuesday night. We were seated right away. I originally requested to sit outside, but when we walked out I realized it was going to be really loud due to the traffic. The hostess was very kind and immediately sat us inside. read more

We went to the all you can eat lunch for $25 overall the food and appetizers were fairly high-quality, but as we progressed the quality went downhill fast. There is also a fee if you do not eat all the food which was kind of annoying I would not recommend getting the vegetable tempura and stuff I can fill you up overall it was a fine experience read more

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. read more

This is a review solely for delivery!!! The sushi was very very good! The tropical tuna roll with mango was so tasty would definitely get that again. The spring roll didn't survive no crunch at all but that's probably due to the drive over. Didn't get to see the place. They accepted my order very quickly and had it ready fast! I would definitely return for dine in. read more

After having a terrible travel day and finally getting to my hotel, I just wanted an easy meal as I haven't eaten all day. I noticed this was a 3 minute walk and said screw it cheap sushi sounds easy. Wow was I underrating it! I was so impressed with the variety of the menu as well as what I ordered coming out quickly and tasting so amazing. This is one of those meals you dream about having again. Everything was so fresh!! I honestly considered ordering more when I finished because I wanted to explore the menu more. The tuna cups were so innovative and fun, much less messy than attempting some insanely packed sushi roll with chopsticks! My bartender Sage was very attentive and made sure everything was perfect for me! I appreciated his attention to detail and ability to check on everyone at the bar frequently. He made everyone feel like royalty! read more

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. read more

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 read more

Great service. Some of the better sushi experiences I've had in Tennessee. Impressed with the flavors and combinations available and I didn't go, but it seems they have a lunch all you can eat option that looked really well priced. It's a go-to if you're looking for a reasonably priced sushi experience in the West End. read more

Good sushi. Great, attentive and professional customer service. The Rainbow Roll was very fresh and light. Salmon was especially nice. So good, we ordered another. We also had the Shaggy Dog and the Spider Roll. Both very tasty. read more

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. read more

Came in for a beer and some dinner tonight and sat at the bar. It was slow and quiet inside but the bar tender and host were both friendly. Parking was cheap so that was nice. They didn't have Kirin light, only Kirin, but they did have other light beers which was fine. I had the spicy garlic edamame which was exceptional and the sashimi plate which was mostly good. I didn't love the seasoning/crust they added to one fish on the plate and the ahi wasn't as fresh as I've experienced other places. I'd come here again and maybe try the ramen. My water and beer both were never empty, although the bartender did bring the check without clarifying and cleaned up for the night as if she were ready to leave. read more

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. read more

Avoid if looking for a great meal! The sushi was mediocre at best definitely lacked flavor even with the addition of the sauces. We ordered shrimp shumai that came out cold. The service was just as horrible. Ordered an ice tea that when I went to take a drink noticed the glass was cracked took it to the bar after waiting five minutes and exchanged it for a Diet Coke. The restaurant was your typical ambiance of that for a place right off campus. Noise level was moderate but hey classes start in a few days and felt like the students were enjoying time with their friends and families enjoying drinks before the start of the week. The best part of this experience was the view of the Vanderbilt Quad lights at night. read more

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. read more

Food was good, nothing super amazing but a good throw down place when you need to grab some protein. Everything was fresh and they have a tuna sashimi plate that I can't remember what it's called, but it was really good. Service wasn't bad. I ate here like 3 times and only one time it took like 30-40 min to get my food out. I think they were short staffed that day. I'll definitely be back. read more

Everything was wonderful and they will give you fresh wasabi which is a real 'kicker'! Pricing was great and service even better! I highly recommend. I got the sashimi deluxe, a Philly roll and salmon skin hand roll. read more

I Love Sushi - Hand rolled salmon skin - Sushi Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Service was great. Unfortunately the salad that comes with the lunch special was drowning in the sauce. I had to request one with dressing on the side but that was drowning in water so it was inedible either way. I ordered a toro sushi, which cost $4 more than our lunch special meal. But it came with chopped up pieces of fish that was seared and sauced. I was expecting a nice piece of solid fish for that price. read more

The sushi was delicious! As you can see from the pictures, they were so pretty as well. Favorite roll was the Sweet Heart Roll, which actually was in a heart shape (so cute)! Came with a large group to celebrate a friend's birthday and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. Took a star off because we did have to wait around 20-30 min for a table even though we made a reservation and the entrees other than the sushi were just okay. However, they gave a free slice of fried cheesecake, which tasted pretty good! read more

I just picked up sushi and ginger salad to go. The lady told me on the phone, it will take 15 minutes. I arrived at the restaurant about 20 minutes after and food was not ready for another 15 minutes. I ordered 2 ginger salads, cucumber rolls, and summer naruto. One of salads came with only one slice of cucumber and wilted and brown lettuce, looks disgusting. I won't order from this place ever again! read more

we both got lunch specials. i got the two rolls and husband got the meal. his chicken and steak looked and tasted boiled. bland. no seasoning and extremely chewy. it was coated all over the plate soaking in a teriyaki sauce thick and sweet as syrup. my tempura roll was okay. can tell its premade. ginger salad and miso was standard. if it was anymore money it would have been a plate that got sent back. read more

Food is so good, fast service. I'm in the area during lunch and OMG the lunch special soup and 2 rolls is awesome tasting and very reasonable $ for very fresh sushi. They validate the buildings parking for 3hrs! Awesome to walk around Northern Vandy area/West End. My current fav is the crunchy shrimp roll. The only mediocre thing I had was the hot saki. It's just the same ho hum that's typically served. Good for the cool breezy days and does go with the miso soup. A new truck I discovered was the vinaigrette that's left in the bottom of the salad bowl is actually really good for dipping sushi after I little a wasabi in there. It really is a nice home made vinaigrette that turns into a different sauce so I just eat whatever salad I want scoop out extra-greens/tomato and add some wasabi. Super nice and unique-You're welcome! read more

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. read more

Service used to be great. Super sweet and attentive! Sure wasn't this visit! Party of 5 on a Saturday night. And no, they weren't really busy. We could never find our server. She was slow and confused when she was around. Half the table got their food, 15-20 min later the rest was still waiting to eat. I saw their sushi just sitting on top of sushi bar! I got up and found another server and asked her to bring out food to us so the rest of the diners could finally eat too. I had to get up and ask sushi chefs for more wasabi, then for more soy sauce because again, our server had ghosted us. I told my friends how great this place was and was embarrassed by the lack of attention. read more

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.

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!! read more

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. read more
