I've lost count of how many times I've been here, and they never miss. The service is top-tier, attentive, and genuinely kind every single time. I went for the Spicy Chicken Bento lunch special today. Holy portion sizes! It is basically two meals in one for under $20. You get the spicy chicken, sushi, rice, salad, and gyoza, plus miso soup on the side. My friend stuck with her absolute favorite, the Teriyaki Chicken appetizer (she literally raves about it). Pro Tip: It was her birthday and they brought out a massive bowl of ice cream with a candle. Such a thoughtful, cute touch! read more

This has to be my favorite sushi spot. It's nothing extravagant, but we always have great service, great food and a great time. My son and I were having a Labor Day date and decided to come in for lunch. The restaurant was fairly empty, which I'm not gonna lie, I absolutely love! We ordered the sushi combo #2 which consists of spicy tuna roll, 4 piece sushi (chef pick), miso soup and house salad. This combo is only 24 bucks and we never finish it! We also ordered a couple of Melon Ramune and they always provide a small bowl of salted edamame as a starter. Love sushi is the only restaurant that I've been to in town that offers you a complimentary sample sushi. I never know what type it is, but of course I don't complain! Also the peanut butter and apple dessert at the end is a beautiful way to end the meal. We love coming here! read more

This was one of the firs Sushi Restaurants in Bakersfield. I have been eating here since Yelp existed. I happened to be in the neighborhood today and we decided to drop in for old time sake. Nothing changed, in a good way. It is cozy, small, with a super sweet Japanese lady as the only server. She was so nice, keeping on bringing us free things to try. We were in a mood to pig out. We did sushi a la carte with fatty tuna, salmon, grilled eel, fresh shrimp, tuna, and albacore. Every thing was prepared to perfection and presented beautifully. The dynamite roll was creamy, chewy, layered with texture, nothing short of dynamite. I have had so many great meals and great memories here. Highly recommended for you to try it! read more

I will no longer be spending my money at love sushi I come here very often for my dumplings, and as you can see in the photos, it comes with dipping sauce, which I do always ask for an extra one today I asked for an extra one and they wanted to charge me .50 cents. I asked the owner when they start charging for the dumpling sauce. I know they charge for the other sauces, but not this one and he told me they've been charging since last year okay cool but there's no way you want me to pay an extra 50 Cent to get another empty container like the ones in the photo crazy work read more

This location is off of California and Stockdale. I've been to this one a few times and it's not my favorite location. There's always a good amount of homeless people hanging outside. It just doesn't make you feel good to go out of the way to come when you're craving sushi. Sushi was good and if I was in the area I would definitely go back, I just wished this area wasnt like this. I used to live around the corner and this area is turning into a not so nice area. Staff is nice, the place looked clean inside. It's a small eating area, but from what I can see they get a lot of DoorDash orders because you can hear the beeping thing go off often. Parking is not an issue, the times I've visited it was never busy so I don't think there's a long wait time. read more

Not a big place!! But it feels very private and spacious. We got our 4 rolls pretty fast, super flavorful and the rice was cooked to perfection. The rolls are a pretty big size. Our waitress made sure to check on us often but not too often where we got uncomfortable. They also gave us a free dessert kind of thing with like an apple and it was a cute way to end the dinner. read more

Came here on New Years Day for dinner, as it is one of the few restaurants open (and open late). Ordered a couple of rolls, hamachi collar, and a seafood udon. Everything was delicious! The rolls portion size was pretty big which was a plus. We got complimentary edamame for an appetizer and slice of apples for dessert. Service was relatively quick and waitress was attentive. Casual Japanese restaurant that I recommend if you're craving sushi in the area for a great price. read more

Had the best lunch date at Love Sushi in Bakersfield. Finding good sushi in Bakersfield had not been on my bingo card for the day but I was so pleasantly surprised with this meal that I had to come on here to tell you all about it! Love sushi was close to one of my friend's houses so we decided to stop in for lunch. Really the reason we chose this spot was because it wasn't far and it was one of the only sushi restaurants that opened at 11am vs 11:30am. We found this spot easily, clear signage and there was plenty of parking which was great. We walked inside and were immediately welcomed and offered a nice booth in the back. This restaurant is pretty small. Only about 5 booths, a small sushi bar, and a couple tables so on the weekends I would say come earlier. On a weekday this place didn't get too busy but lots of take out orders were coming through. Service & staff here were 5 stars and honestly the best part of this experience. Our waitress/server was darling and super sweet. Very attentive and she knew the menu well which was impressive as they have a large menu. She was helpful and checked up on us often always clearing empty plates and refilling our glasses. The sushi chef was also the kindest guy oh my gosh! He sent complimentary hand rolls over to our table. Who does that? It was so sweet and much appreciated, it set for good vibes right off that bat. That was a really generous free starter. Our meal was definitely very delicious and we both left super stuffed but happy. I'd say their sushi overall was 4 stars but actually their cooked meals and bento box were an unexpected 5 stars for me. Their Bulgogi was some of the best I've had, especially at a sushi restaurant. Almost as good as some Korean bbq spots I've been. The bulgogi had a great sauce and the sauce got hot enough during cooking it gave good little crispy edges to the meat. Super tasty and the bento boxes are Hooked up here! Came with rice, salad, miso soup, California roll, and two fried dumplings. Seriously what a deal?! The sushi was middle of the road to me, I liked some things better than others - my roll was tasty but needed a stronger sauce to give it a little more flavor. I liked the salmon hand rolls though. All in all we had a super fabulous lunch experience here. The restaurant was clean, cute, and cozy - my favorite c's. Haha. Service was impressive and the owner/chef couldn't have been any more generous. He also gave us a tiny apple dessert at the end, so sweet. Food was very good and for the large amount of food we ordered the price was about average. For a good meal though we are happy to pay. Definitely a new spot to come back to next time I'm in town, worth a try if you haven't been here yet. Good people, they deserve your business. read more

Been going here for years! Always had great service until today. The waiter Mari didn't not welcome me and my family in and immediately gave our group attitude. Walked right out. The place has amazing food but you can't enjoy food while having bad service. Unfortunately mine and my family's last time going there. read more

I want to start off by saying that the staff at this restaurant is the absolute best. No matter how busy they are they always take care of their guess to the best of their ability. My wife and I have been coming to this place for over three years now and they are always consistent and the food always taste great but most of all the staff always makes us feel like family. My go to roll is always either the rainbow roll or the spicy rainbow roll which is three types of fresh fish. The flavor is always spot on the fish is always fresh and top quality and I always leave this place with a full stomach. Just a quick note this place is not very big it's only about five or six booths and they do get busy on Friday and Saturday evenings so make sure you plan accordingly. read more

Love Sushi - American Roll Spicy Rainbow Roll Hawaiian Roll - Japanese Near Me - Bakersfield, California

I am a regular here. My autistic son is obsessed with eel sauce, everyone that works here always caters to my son. Well I just left and Madi the manager that I have never seen before refused to give me extra eel sauce. I said I would pay and she said nope and asked me to leave. Never in my life have I been so disrespected after spending so much money here. This will be the last time we come to this location and I will be personally speaking to the owners tomorrow and I will update my review based off the outcome. Madi do better you are in the wrong business because customer service is not your best quality. I hope you get treated this way one day. read more

Today was my first time at love sushi. For a Sunday evening at 4-5pm it was very slow but my server ms. Lee was so accommodating and attentive! I had the donburi, miso soup, and deep fried scalloped yellow tail? (I believe) the fish was very fresh!! The donburi is assorted fish (raw) over rice and greens. It was a great meal for 1. I'm planing on coming back with my partner because of the service and freshness of the fish. Next time I will take pictures if my little one isn't too fussy Thank you ms Lee and shout out to the chef for making my donburi bowl look so pretty! read more

All I could say is that I was enjoying my dinner with my girlfriend, I am a regular customer that knows the staff well except the new chef. The waiter gave excellent service but the chef I believe named Ken was such a disrespectful, rude, ill behaved worker. He was practically yelling at the server for no reason with other customers including ourselves inside. It was disturbing and I felt bad for the waiter. I believe I also seen her cry over/ around the counter. Something needs to be done about the chefs behavior and I believe that was not the first time he was disrespecting the waiters! read more

Great service and great food. Arely was a great waitress and the melon ice cream was delicious.

Great customer service by young lady Arlynn. Food was great , and server was very attentive and great attitude

Tried this place out and was mainly horrible. The baked oysters were good and basically that was it. We ordered this through uber eats and believe they were rushing our order because of how horribly cooked the food was. The shrimp fried rice tasted like i was eating straight salt. It was horrible. I could say the worse fried rice in history and that's not exaggerated! The bulgogi plate was ok. The gyoza was burnt, dry and cold inside. The gyoza was basically like a rock, the worse gyoza ever made! Spent about $65 for throw away food! I usually retry restaurants but I will pass on this place! If i could honestly rate this place I would give them a zero and microwaveable food would get a 10. It's called "Love Sushi" I should've just ordered that! read more
