    Stick with the sushi if possible. Got the Nabe udon and it literally tasted like hot water with overcooked noodles and some condiments in there.

    Love the Golf Pro Hand Roll. $9.95. I haven't found any other sushi bar that makes us made with soy paper tuna, crab, avocado, spicy mayo oh my goodness you're all set with a glass of wine. Just felt being rushed. I guess right before Christmas

    Teriyaki Salmon with a nice salad and tempura.

    A cute little restaurant with tables and a small sushi bar. The servers are very patient with our questions, as I'm gluten sensitive. They make wonderful recommendations. What we ordered: I got the Cucumber salad, spicy edamame and the Sushi/Sashimi Combo (6 pieces of each). My friends both ordered the Combos. One got Teriyaki beef, Mixed tempura with 3 shrimp and various veggies. It came with Miso soup and rice and sushi(4) and sashimi. My other friend ordered the Box A Combo. It included Salmon Teriyaki with Shrimp and veggie tempura, rice, salad , sushi and sashimi. All of our dishes had a lot of food and were fresh and delicious.

    Pick two lunch.

    Came in for lunch since I had jury duty down the street. Server was friendly. Ordered an lunch "pick two." I got tempura shrimp and chicken teriyaki. The chicken was meh, room temperature and too much sauce for my taste. The tempura was really well done in terms of the batter, frying, and flavor. However, the sauce was very bland and lacked any real flavor. It got really crowded by the time I left, so people probably love this place. Maybe I'll give it another shot.

    Amazing! We ordered various rolls, along with nigiri. The fish was very fresh and delicious. One of the best nigiri I've ever had for a very good price. The rolls has generous amounts of sashimi and were packed with flavor. The service was good. Employees were very kind, and got our order and food to us swiftly. Even on a very busy day, they were quick and made conversation. The interior was great, very clean, and nice design. With plenty of space for customers. Even with so many tables they were filled up quickly and a line formed. That just shows how good the food is.

    I love sushi and I love this restaurant! The fish is always fresh, the sushi chefs are on point, and service is a+ Could take a wait sometimes, but I am always satisfied after eating here. They keep the place clean and are very good of getting rid of any unnecessary trash on your table. I love their yellowtail and spicy albacore sushi! Their rolls are pretty good, too! I love the blue fin roll. So refreshing.

    The food quality is great! Everything is so fresh and delicious. Service is good as well they were super nice. I came here for lunch and it was busy. The place is a little bit cramped but I definitely recommend for a quick bite or with friends!

    This is by far one of me and my sister's favorite go-to place to get some quality sushi. Even take out orders are superb. We go there about 15 mins after opening and it was pretty empty at first and more people started to trickle in towards the end of our meal. Between my sister, my bf, and I shared 1 sashimi appetizer, 4 rolls, and 2 large hot sakes. All delicious (honestly could have added another roll or two but thats just because we were hungry). For the most part we get the same typical 3 rolls: Salmon Lover, King Kong, and Golden Member BUT we tried to do some things different this time. What we got: - Spicy Tuna Sashimi : Literally always fresh tasting and flavorful for such a simple slice of tuna - Salmon Lover Roll (my fav): If you love salmon on your sushi...you can't go wrong with this - King Kong Roll: The lemon is a nice citrus addition - Green Dragon Roll: Basic but packed with all the right flavors - T. F. D. Roll (limited edition): Honestly, this was really good and the Halibut had an amazing texture to it. Overall, I highly recommend coming here if you're looking for good sushi in the Ventura Area. Great Sushi and Happy Customer!

    sunset roll
    Jaimelene S.

    I usually frequent the same sushi spot and I decided on a whim to try I Love Sushi for a solo date. I got the garlic albacore roll (i love albacore) and asked the waiter to surprise me with her favorite roll. She chose the sunset roll with her special sauce on the side (not sure what it was but i'm not picky) So good. The service was quick and everyone was kind (I went on a Saturday at 6:30ish pm) The food was so fresh and tasty. I spent about $35 for two rolls and a water and it was totally worth it. I will definitely be back! Thank you!

It's a clean, contemporary space, though there isn't much else to say about the décor; it does its job without drawing too much attention to itself. The real surprise was the food. The noodles were excellent, far better than I had expected. It was flavorful and satisfying, the tofu was cooked perfectly, and the broth struck a nice balance without being overly spicy. Everything came together really well, making for a genuinely pleasant dining experience. Overall, it was an enjoyable evening, and I'd happily return.

    Great find in Ventura! Asian food has certainly come a looooong way since I was a kid!…read more Was needing a quick bite before swim finals. First, the gal who took our order was super friendly and helpful. The food was really good. Reminded me of We had the original chicken wings, japchae, kimbap, bulgogi bowl and the yuzu and grape ades. All of the dishes were wonderful. Chicken was nice and crispy --good flavor throughout and not greasy at all! The japchae had a great balance of flavors and the shiitake mushrooms, in particular, had really great flavor--must have been marinated for a long time to soak up all the juices! The kimbap was delicious! It was fresh and the pickle in it (Japanese call it takuan, idk what its name in Korean is) was super mild. It didn't overpower the other ingredients. The bulgogi was a solid dish. It had also the glass noodles on one side and plenty of meat and veggies. A good, well-rounded dish. We will come back for bing soo after the kid finishes finals, if it isn't too late! A local regular enthusiastically suggested we try it, so we will be back. The drinks were really delicious as well. Not too sweet and refreshing taste--I think each one is handmade individually. Overall, I highly recommend this place. It has all of the taste of real Korean home cooking at a good price point. You can get quality dishes in a casual in-and-out setting. We will be back for sure!

No one was in the restaurant when we came in, just about an hour after opening, but as soon as we walked in we were welcomed and sat! We ordered the Garlic Edamame, Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice, Baked Salmon Roll, Foursome Roll, and the Garlic Albacore Roll. Everything tasted amazing and fresh-- the only roll I wouldn't order again is the Garlic albacore roll, but that's one of the many fish we have yet to try and it doesn't seem like it's for us! Totally fine. The foursome roll was AMAZING because you get a side of tuna poke and it was perfect to put it on top of the roll itself and the crispy rice! All in all it was a great experience and for everything (add a soda and a green tea in there) it was $100 with a tip for the two of us! We even had food left over! I wish I could've snagged a picture but we were too excited to eat! We will definitely be back :)

It was Happy Hour, so we ordered a few things from the Happy Hour menu. I ordered the salmon-baked roll and the Vegetable tempura roll. I love the taste of salmon, so I always order salmon rolls wherever I go. Sorry, but honestly, I didn't like the baked salmon roll here; there was too much sauce, and I couldn't really taste the salmon. Americans might like the taste. The vegetable tempura roll was ok. I think the rice was not tasty in either roll. The jasmine tea was my favorite type with blooming jasmine flowers. The service was excellent. There are also large tables, so it's good for families and groups. The parking lot is in front of the restaurant.

    I am basing my review on 1 visit, during lunch. There wasn't…read morea line so I was able to be seated immediately. Ambiance- seating inside is generally small tables close together and the dining area is on the smaller side. An open kitchen area is behind the counter, but they also have more kitchen space behind in the back. They layout really reminded me of Tokyo Ramen houses that are designed for solo single eaters (as a lot of Tokyo casual dining is). During my meal, the majority of us at tables were solo eaters, only 1 other table had 2 diners. So I imagine if you're a larger party it, it may be hard to get seating at busier times due to smaller number of tables. Ordered- Tokatsu ShuShu ramen. The noodles were springy and bouncy. The broth is creamy and tasty. I still think I really enjoy Silverlake Ramen's Tonkatsu broth (I don't know what their secret ingredient is that makes it unique) but URamen's is still satisfying. I had 4 pieces of Chashu, 1/2 of a seasoned soft boiled egg. The yolk is seasoned in a very sweet sauce- interesting taste. They add a wonton crisp which is unusual for Ramen bowl! I would've like nori crisp but that's ok. Service- One server was taking care of the lunch crowd. The owners are Thai, and I believe the server is also Thai. She was quite polite. Usually I think most Thai restaurants offer that super kind, and humble service to customers. (I say this as Korean Ame, it's noticeably different than immigrant run Korean or Chinese or Vietnamese restaurants) I do prefer the taste of Silverlake Ramen, BUT they have even more limited seating. The parking and access here is easier and quicker than going to the Collection Annex, so I think this is another solid Ramen place. Note- They are closed on Mondays, and closed between 3-5pm everyday. The first time I came, was during their closed time.

Feels very contemporary and not like a darker wood ambiance of more traditional Japanese sushi places. This place must generate most of their business from their super packed HH. Once 5pm hit, it got noticeably busier, and by 530pm- fully packed. Sumo is maybe one of the few places that allows takeout of their HH items because they know how crowded they get. That is generous of them. I think their prices are among the most affordable for HH sushi around this area and everything was fresh. I am not picky sushi rolls person, but I would guess their sushi quality is average, made for mass consumption and general public, not for people who really want Japan level top grade sushi/ sashimi. Service: it all depends. Most of the servers are college aged young women. So a lot of them huddle and talk during busy HH time while they constantly scan the busy entrance for new diners. It can take awhile for someone to actually come take your order; we were lucky our server was pretty sweet natured. But in general I don't get the vibe that most of the servers are very focused about their jobs. But with busy HH, warm and friendly service isn't a priority. We're here for the HH deals and fresh affordable sushi. For these points, Sumo delivers. The ambiance: modern and bright, not my first choice. I prefer more low key settings. I think if I came to eat solo, eating at the sushi bar would be a pleasant experience, if I came before 5pm rush.
