Always good, I thought I had reviewed it already but apparently never did. Have been here many times if you get seated before 6pm you are set for happy hour which gets you some deals. The service is always on point, quick with your orders and drinks. Friendly and fast so usually the wait for a table or seat at the sushi bar is quick even with a line up. They have interesting rolls that you don't see everywhere else some Thai mash ups in there. The vibe there is always fun and friendly. Smaller space and makes it cozy and inviting. read more

My new favorite sushi place! The sushi was extremely delicious. First words that came out were mmmm that's good. Also had the chicken teriyaki and that too was great. It was full on a Friday night but service was quick for a pickup order. Small place but nice ambiance. Will definitely be coming back. read more

I Luv Sushi - Baked scallops - Sushi Bars Near Me - Lakewood, California

I also love sushi! Now I love I Luv Sushi. What a beautiful pairing. I had a craving for sushi and I was nearby. Whip out the handy dandy yelp and this place had popped up. I am so happy I visited this sushi spot. The service, flawless. Impeccable. They were soooooo nice and friendly. And they were ON IT when it came to keeping our table clear. Any plate we finished or even the little paper from the straws they picked it up right away. I ordered the: Ashley Roll Caterpillar Roll Crunch Roll Tuna crispy rice For starters, I giggled seeing a roll with my name on it. I don't know the backstory, but I wish I did, honestly. The description says that it has mango, and it was throwing me off bad because I do not think of fruit in my sushi. I was convinced to get it so I did and wow. No bias because it has my name, but I really enjoyed this roll the most out of the 3. It was fresh, you do not taste any mango. The jalapeno added a nice subtle kick to it. I really enjoyed it. The caterpillar roll was nothing I was like "omg reorder please." She sufficed. Not mouth-watering or bad, a solid 3/5. The crunch roll was pretty solid. I've been on a solid roll (haha) of getting the crunch roll at every sushi place I visit. I give it a 4/5. The tuna crispy rice had some spice to it alright! I thought it was yummy. The spicy tuna felt a little "mushier" than other places but I was still able to tolerate it. It was def crispy! it was golden and had that nice crunch to it. read more

We stopped by for lunch and tried the lunch special that included 3 hand rolls, miso soup, and a side salad. The hand rolls are so nicely filled with a good amount of fresh fish, avocado, cucumbers, and rice. I tried the Tuna, Yellowtail, and Salmon. All three were delicious and fresh. The miso soup was a bit watered down and the salad was decent with a delicious dressing. We also tried the Lobster Dynamite and the American Dragon roll. The Lobster Dynamite is hearty and so yummy along with the American Dragon. Great service and tasty food. read more

I Luv Sushi really makes you love sushi! They have a big selection of sushi rolls, hand rolls & soups. Our favorites are the dragon roll, crunchy roll, sun rise on 2nd and in n out roll. We start off with spicy garlic edamame & a side of calamari as appetizers. The service is fairly quick! We usually don't wait too long to be seated, during happy hour it does get busier due to their great prices but aside from that the wait is not too long. We love the vibe, we have visited for birthdays and it such a fun experience! We always look forward to visiting I luv sushi when we're in the mood for yummy sushi! read more

I Luv Sushi - Sunrise On 2nd Street - Sushi Bars Near Me - Lakewood, California

The name says it all: I Luv Sushi and I really, really do. Sushi spots nowadays can be difficult because there's one on every block it feels like. And eating sushi spots through Yelp is even more difficult because imo what people think is good sushi is subjective lol. I am pretty darn picky, I want the fish fresh period, and the size of the bites correct. This experience was for my bday and I had 3 teenagers with me so we opted for rolls because this isn't AYCE and I didn't feel like dropping $500 on nigiri! Rolls are a bit more cost effective especially when my son and I are eating. The rolls we got: PS Roll, Candy Cane, Caterpillar, Tsunami, Lynn (didn't try this one: as tempura and cream cheese just isn't really my thing), Incredible Roll, Cali roll (this was for my daughter, who isn't into sushi. She got this and ramen-forgot to snap a pic). Everything was delicious! Wait staff is extremely friendly, helpful and very efficient! This place is usually poppin, and most of the times I did have to wait for a table (but this is a GOOD sign in a sushi spot!) Empty restaurants scare me a bit, but especially a sushi spot! On other occasions, I have had there nigiri, sashimi plates... and I have never been disappointed! Def a go to spot if you're in the area! read more

Finally found a non AYCE place and it was great. We only had to wait a few minutes for a table. Plenty of parking and service was quick. My favorites were the 2 hand rolls we got which were spicy tuna and scallop. They were stuffed with fish and the seawood was nice and crispy. Also loved the nigiri we got which was yellowtail belly (I don't usually see this on menus, I usually see toro) and blue fin tuna since they were out of toro. Everything melted in your mouth and was delicious. read more

TAKEOUT WARNING: second time they have either given me the wrong order or this time gave my order away and left me standing there for over a half an hour. When I checked in, they said oh we're waiting on one item 35 minutes later I had to ask what the status was to learn that they gave it away to someone else and then to make it better. They offered to give someone else's food to me....wtf? Their response was will get you your food in 10 to 20 minutes after standing in a crowded lobby for over half an hour. That was unacceptable. No offer of a drink no place to sit nothing then when asking for a refund acted like it was drama. This is my local sushi place. Nothing special just on the corner and convenient in theory.. if you're going here for convenience your times probably spent better going somewhere else. read more

We were in the area, and decided to come by to get some lunch as we were hungry. Parking lot was a little small, but we were able to find a spot. We were seated promptly and our server was friendly. We ordered 2 of the lunch combos. Good was decent, and nothing was too special in terms of food. However, when I was about to eat my California roll. I found a hair inside the roll. I gave my server a sign and she came to our table. We showed her the hair. She apologized on the hair, and offered us with another order. We did not take the offer as we did not want another order. When I get the check, she kindly took off the order on the bill. Appreciate that. Three stars for good services. read more

The food is consistently good, the staff is great, and the ambiance is lively...all in all a great go to place for some quality food. However, if there is anyone with allergies just make sure to double check before you take a bite...I've ordered takeout specifically noting an allergy removing the shrimp tempura completely but when my best friend checked her roll there was still shrimp in it. I was able to enjoy the roll but it could have been bad if the bestie didn't have a habit of double checking her food. I love coming here but my best friend is hesitant. read more

I Luv Sushi - green machine rolls and shirley temple - Sushi Bars Near Me - Lakewood, California

Stopped by & signed in on a Saturday afternoon around 5:30. We were seated by 6:15 and they honored happy hour which ended at 6! It was my second time so I got the rainbow roll which was as delicious as the first time . We tried the gyoza's which were also so good and crunchy. The California roll which you can't go wrong with! I also got the tai tea which was perfectly balanced and not too sweet! Our friend got the furikake fries which I didn't get a photo of but they were like burger joint fries and weren't anything special. My boyfriend got the monkey roll which has banana and shrimp tempura, personally I wouldn't get it, it was really sweet! There is a lot of parking as it is in a little shopping center. The service is really fast considering how busy they are! Overall 4.5/5 if I could give it. Definitely check it out. read more

In the past, this spot had fresh sushi and everything was delicious. Unfortunately, my recent experience was disappointing. The sashimi platter was NOT fresh and the brown rice that I ordered was dry/reheated. It was akin to visiting an all-you-can-eat sushi buffet. If I were paying buffet prices, NP. But it cost $35. Definitely won't be returning. read more

At 3000 reviews and an average of 4.5 stars, I luv sushi is a locals favorite for sushi rolls. I've been here many times for happy tummy hour after work between 3p-6p. On paper, it's a solid deal; however, I feel that quality has slipped over the years. I have to say that my last few experiences have been lackluster. For "happy tummy hour", I was able to get three items for $31. I got a baked green mussels, spicy tuna over crispy rice, and their tsunami roll. Their Tsunami roll has spicy tuna, scallop and shrimp on the inside and albacore and red onion on top. You could also get a beer for $5 during these hours. My problem is that the flavors and textures were not good. Fish was oxidized. The spicy tuna was chopped/minced too finely, which made it taste like sriracha-fish puree. Roll sizes were actually too big, which can be problematic because it could be hard to get a balanced bite of your roll or tuna with crispy rice. I'd have to equate the quality to a buffet. I was debating on a one-star review; however, service was friendly/nice and value for happy hour is decent. My problem is solely with flavors, which have not been great for me as of late. Feel free to disagree with me, because this place still averages 4.5 stars. Of restaurants on yelp, I find that opinions on Sushi restaurants tend to vary the highest. For the most precise recommendations on sushi, I recommend that you follow reviewers with tastes that are similar to your own. As of late, when I want sushi, I find that fish quality and texture matters. I may come back again someday, and I hope that I enjoy it; however, I don't think it will be anytime soon. read more

just moved to the neighborhood a couple months ago and thought i'd check out this spot within walking distance. definitely come for happy hour between 3-6pm if it's near you! tons of sushi rolls for reasonable pricing. sit at the bar for a better experience if you're alone or with only 1 other person. we chatted with a sushi chef, brian, who made our experience even better. it was a friday night so the place filled up pretty quickly, but as long as you're on the waitlist by 5:45pm, they are fairly understanding and honor the happy hour menu pricing. read more

We had a great foodie experience! I took my son for his first-ever sushi outing, and he loved it. The food was delicious and definitely outweighed the not-so-great service. They kept clearing away our chopsticks and bowls of wasabi after each roll, which was a bit strange, and they were also short on napkins. We'll likely give it one more try in hopes the service improves. Here are the rolls we ordered: * Caterpillar Roll * Dragon Roll * Dynamite Roll * Zuki to Me * Gobo San Roll * Yellowtail Yoyo * Rainbow Roll read more

This is our favorite sushi place! Our latest visit was Sunday, and it was great, as usual. We had the Ashley and the Sexy Girl, both delicious, and oysters on the half shell, but not the usual plain oysters. We got the special oysters, with a really excellent sauce, and what seemed to be 3 oysters in each shell. Normally I like my oysters plain, but these were outstanding! I will absolutely get them again. Service was great, friendly and prompt. The experience was everything that keeps us coming back regularly. read more

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Good sushi value with friendly service. I used to go to this place quite often when I worked in the area, but it had been years since my last visit. I found myself in need of a quick dinner on my way to an event and decided to stop in. I'm so glad I did; I was in time for Happy Hour, excuse me, Yummy Hour, and got the following: - Salmon sushi - Yellowtail sushi - Eel sushi - Spicy scallop handroll - Baked green mussels The fish quality was good, and they don't skimp on the portions! Everything was delicious and the service was friendly and great. Speaking of service, they do the whole turn off all the lights and bring out a dessert for bday celebrants, which I thought was fun. Things move fast here; you're not going to get a stately traditional Japanese meal here, but this place has its own charms. I've gone back with a friend recently, who was also impressed by their Yummy Hour specials. If I need a quick and reasonable sushi fix, this is one of the places at the top of my list! read more

I've come here multiple times... just me and my boyfriend, with my family, with my boyfriend's family, with our friends... you get the picture. It's never let me down! In flavor, in serving sizes, in price, in value... it's always a win! I'd say the best time to go is during happy hour because you get the most bang for your buck. But sometimes the wait can be really long, so have a snack before you go so you're not hangry. The ambiance is real casual, so don't worry about showing up in your Sunday best. Our go-to's on the happy hour menu: * Chicken karaage- crispy and not overly oily or breaded. popcorn chicken-esque goodness * Lynn roll- lightly deep fried roll with shrimp tempura, imitation crab, avo, jalapeno, and cream cheese with eel sauce. So decadent! * Fantastic roll- lightly deep fried with spicy tuna, avo, whitefish, spicy mayo and eel sauce * Sunrise on 2nd St- spicy shrimp, imitation crab, avo, tuna, with eel sauce, sesame dressing and chili oil * Tsunami roll- spicy tuna, scallop, shrimp, albacore with ponzu sauce If they keep it up with good quality food and with good value, I'll continue coming back! read more

I Luv Sushi - Happy hour feast - Sushi Bars Near Me - Lakewood, California

Really great and yummy sushi! Good service. Have come several times and will come again.

It was my first time here and came with a friend that came here once before. It was pretty busy, but fortunately we were seated right away. It took about 5 mins to go over the menu to see what we wanted to eat. And there's a lot to choose from! My friend ordered a couple of different sushi rolls and I got a bento box because I like the "complete" meal that came with a salad, miso soup, a side (mixed tempura) and the main course. The food was delicious! I highly recommend this place! You'll be glad you ate here! read more

I Luv Sushi has been our favorite sushi restaurant in the area. I really like their Volcano sushi, wife likes the Lynn Roll and daughter likes the crunchy roll. We love their "Tummy Hour" deals! Also the kids enjoy when their birthday comes around because they dim the lights and play a song. Their service is always top notch, all of the servers are amazing and accommodating. We are really excited to see them grow to more locations. read more

I used to love this place but lately it's been off... I don't know what happened, but the quality of the sushi appears to have gone down. Dine in: I brought my mom to dine in for her birthday because she wanted sushi, but was disappointed in their spicy salmon roll, which we ordered as part of the lunch special set. It had a terrible gooey texture and the tres amigos was okay... Their best roll was the baked scallop roll and the spicy tuna hand roll I had that day. The salmon nigiri was fire, but unfortunately that was only 1 piece. The service was even lacking that day, my sister found herself correcting our server on what applied to the lunch special and what didn't... Takeout: I used to love the 9-1-1, Atlantic, and Sunrise rolls, but was absolutely disappointed in the quality the last time I ordered from them takeout. My boyfriend and I usually order sushi from here or dine in, getting these exact rolls. They hit different, in a not-so-great way. The ambiance has changed because I think the staffing did too... Either that, or I haven't come at the right time, but the service appears to have declined since I was last there. I'll try again in a few months before making my final decision read more
