    I absolutely love this place. The energy is so fun! There was a tv show in the 80's called Cheers where "everybody knows your name," and that's the vibe at I Luv Sushi. Food is top notch as well. Sad I don't live closer or I would certainly be a regular!

    Spectacular taste of jalapeño , spicy tuna, white rice, seaweed, and mango

    This new sushi place has an amazing variety selection that includes all the flavors of fresh sushi rolls. The chef's are on point and just exclusive taste of ingredients that make me want to keep trying new sushi rolls and appetizers. The service is very spectacular i just felt very satisfied and welcomed with the service of the waitress !

    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.

    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.

    One of my favorite places for sushi. Moved out of the area and now back in town it was the first place I hit. Pay roll, no rice wrapped in cucumber very refreshing. Chicken Satay was just as I imagined spices perfect, Carpaccio wasn't for me but my niece devoured it and the Lobster Dynamite was the best. I'll keep coming back as the food and the service is just over & above

    Visited 10-17-25 Amazing quality! The sushi chef Christian made excellent recommendation and prepared everything beautifully. I had the yellowtail yo-yo sushi, the supreme salmon sushi, a tuna hand roll, and unagi, and bluefin tuna sushi. I highly recommend everything I got.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    Seated right away, cold drinks on the table in just a few short minutes and our first order of sushi hit the table seemingly less than six or seven minutes after placing the order. We had a nice time here for lunch.

    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.

    Is this an AYCE sushi and if so how much per person?

    I don't recall any AYCE options on the menu.

    Is there likely to be a wait for a large party of 10 on a random Sunday at 5pm?

    Yes! It's a small location and for a party that large there will likely be a longer wait

    Do they take reservations?

    They don't, but I've never had to wait long at all.

    HTH offered on weekends?

    Hi Lauren! Yes, the HTH is also offered on weekends. 7 days a week 3pm-7pm, dine in only. Cheers!

    How do I incorporate Happy Hour pricing if I order via Grub-hub or Doordash? Or will it only work if I physically call in the order?

    Hi Dom! Short answer, yes. You need to call in to order the Happy Hour. DoorDash, UberEats and other delivery platforms take certain percentage from our end for their delivery services. Our Happy Hour is already at a reduced pricing. We appreciate… 

    Can we order off of the Happy Tummy Hour menu even if there is no dine-on option?

    Hello Marlenni. Yes, you sure can! Still the same, everyday from 3pm to 7pm. Please call the restaurant to place order. 562-421-8917. Thank you. Paul.

    Have you opened for Dine In services yet? If you are, are reservations preferred/recommended?

    Yes, you can dine in. They do not take reservations :(

    Do they still have Happy Hour? If so, what time?

    I think they still have, was there earlier this year and they still have the happy hour. Its from 3pm-7pm.

    Does happy hour only apply to dine in or can it be applied to takeout also?

    Only dine-in. I WISH it were applicable to takeout.

    Is this place all you can eat?

    No but they have really good happy hour deals 😊 a must try place!

    Does anyone know their new number?

    Hi Brenda! The number still the same 562-421-8917. We had a little technical issues with the service provider. The line is back on now. Thank you for your understanding.

    What time and days are Happy Hour?

    Hello Kyle! Our happy tummy hours are everyday from 3pm-7pm. Thank you for your interest in dining…

    I've been wanted to try this place again and when I found out they had 12 dollar rolls to go if you…read morecall them directly I basically RAN there! 12 dollar rolls are a very good deal considering most place have them for 17+ typically speaking. The staff was very very friendly the short time I was there and answered some questions I had. I inquired about what the difference between their regular AYCE and their Premium version... if you like sashimi that would be perfect for you since it's included for the premium... if you mainly just like rolls the regular would suit you just fine. The decoration inside the restaurant is cute especially since it's literally on the BLVD... you almost feel like you are somewhere else than south street . Now for the rolls I got... I got the summer roll and seared salmon roll from the fresh roll category. I got one NO RICE roll which I love to end on a lighter note than the ones with rice that one is called south st roll and it was very flavorful as were the other ones. Everything felt extremely fresh and I will be back for this special and on days I feel I'm starving enjoy the AYCE aspect of the restaurant. All in all AMAZING STUFF UMI! Thanks!

    I'd rate this place a solid 3.8/4. Pros:…read more * The food came out relatively quickly. * The fish tasted fresh, and the ingredients matched the menu photos. * I really appreciate that they clearly label which rolls contain spicy mayo or are considered spicy. As someone who can't handle spice at all, that made ordering so much easier. * Biggest pro: They give you FREE matcha ice cream at the end, and it was delicious! Cons: * This is not the place for a nice date night. It was incredibly loud with kids screaming and running around the restaurant. * Even though it wasn't very busy, the service was lacking. I'd recommend ordering everything you might need (extra sauce, lemons, napkins, etc.) as soon as you sit down because once your food is dropped off, it's difficult to get anyone's attention. We were never checked on or asked if we needed anything else. * This has nothing to do with the food, but bring a jacket! The A/C was blasting--it honestly felt like it was set to 62°. As for the sushi itself, I thought it was decent, but the rolls were a little lacking in flavor. The sauces really carried most of them, though that's just my personal preference. Overall, I'd definitely come back, especially if the waitlists at other AYCE sushi spots are hours long. If you're looking for good, all-you-can-eat sushi without a crazy wait, this place gets the job done. It may not be the most memorable sushi you'll ever have, but it's a great local spot that delivers on the essentials. paid $84 for two AYCE so $$$

The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and I believe the owners were there that evening, they were incredibly kind and even toasted with me a few times, which made the experience feel extra special.

There's plenty of parking which is shared by Target and other smaller stores in the same lot.
