Very cute kitschy old school vibe to the interior. Oldie dance music, disco & 80's, plays in the background. I stopped in for a late lunch, Tanya was my sweet & friendly server today. I ordered two hand rolls, the Love Special & the Happy Roll. Both of which were tasty, fresh & huge! They were served on a fun plate that looked like a pool of water with a shark in it! One detail of note that I think is important is they have reusable chopsticks. One use chopsticks are a huge contributor to landfills, tons of them are thrown away a year, so I'm impressed that they have the reusable chopsticks here. This place reminds me of what Sushi bars were like back in the 1980's. So full of personality. I'm definitely coming back when it's busier to check out the energy of this unique sushi bar. I think it will be great fun. Definitely come check out Live Sushi! read more

We don't come here often but, every time we do we are happy with the food and service. The staff we've had are friendly, the chefs are fun. It's not a huge place and it's showing its age. It's due for some decor updates. If you want an east going low key sushi spot- try them out. read more

Took my nephew for his first time. We were the only ones for a little while, about 3:00 in the afternoon. Our server was patient with us. Once we ordered food was quick and delicious. read more

We use to frequent this location but it's been about a year since we came in. Unfortunately it has really gone down hill. It use to be this bright vibrant spot that was full and known for good sushi at good prices. The sushi itself is fair, definitely not the quality it used to be-but more importantly the atmosphere is a bit of a dump. From broken door jams, to dirty items on the walls, to holes in the bathroom from items falling off (soap dispenser, maybe paper towel dispenser too). It's dark and just not the vibrant place it used to be. We were a party of 6 and the table size was so tiny we could barely fit in the booth. Service was quick but definitely would choose a little nicer spot in the future. read more

I would give this place a one star but I have to admit the waitress was very friendly and detailed. I love Love Sushi at the marketplace and on Mt. Vernon but this location is terrible. After my boyfriend and I had a long day of daily duties on our day off we decided to have dinner here and this place is just not the business. The indoor vibe is different, too many lights not vibe for having for having sushi for dinner. Second there was no complimentary edamame but their water was clean tasting. Third there was no tofu in the miso soup. Fourth the soup and rolls came out at the same time. I was so confused by the look and taste of the rolls but we were starving. This is were the waitress comes in she said even though they are a franchise the owners make rolls definitely and I did investigate and she was correct, either way it is just not it. The rice is hard, felt like it was old rice/day before rice. The avocado wasn't there on the dragon roll and there was barely any crunch. The taste was a little weird as like it was fishy but like I said we were starving. My bf also ordered seared tuna, I didn't get a picture but it looked like jerky on hard rice. The complimentary candy at the end made my bf yuck so I wasn't about to taste it. Maybe we got the leftovers or maybe food is different during lunch but I was expecting what google shows 9 yrs ago. To finalize this review I will not be having sushi here again. read more

Manager/ sushi chef has a DOG behind the sushi bar and sitting in booths, Sushi chef is incredibly rude to servers, the place is a dump with random pictures and magazine cut outs on the wall, food is disgusting and overpriced. Tips mainly go to managers not servers! Other reviews say theyve been made sick from this place, went downhill after new manager started, she is so rude and disrespectful and unsanitary. Will never be eating here again, this place needs to be shut down. read more

Hate to add this negative review because this place used to be my favorite sushi spot and we used to frequent this place. I haven't been here in years but was craving their white love roll and sesame chicken. I paid $17 for a glorified California roll. I barely, barely had any avocado and to top it off, they made it wrong by topping the sushi with a mango sauce. The mango sauce didn't pair well at all and my appetite was ruined. I didn't want to take it back because who wants to drive back to the restaurant when you're starving? And the sesame chicken? It was okay. It was way too sweet because it was drenched in teriyaki sauce. $31 wasted. read more

One of our stable restaurants that we love to go to especially for sushi. This location of love sushi has always been a restaurant in a common area that we like to go to. We have noticed that it is not always packed, which is great cause we get to sit down immediately get our service and within an hour able to leave it is underrated as far as people are coming and I hope Mohr find this restaurant so it does not close down. The people at the restaurant are always loving and friendly and I really appreciate them. read more

Wonderful family. Sushi is always fresh. Not the trendy over priced sushi joint. Ignore the reviews that are negative.

I forgot to take pictures on this visit but we got there right before 5pm and it was dead. Since we were the only one in the restaurant it was pretty quiet. We were greeted right away and sat where we wanted. We ordered the rainbow sushi roll, gyoza, tempura shrimp and vegetables and the shrimp tempura crunch roll on soy paper. My husband wanted his rainbow roll spicy and boy was it spicy. He couldn't eat it. I ordered the shrimp tempura crunch roll and it was good. I felt like it was missing something. The gyoza and shrimp tempura and vegetables were really good too. On a side note if you want something spicy 1st ask what they put to make it spicy. If it's sriracha or some kind of oil. If they use the oil and you can handle the heat then go for it. If not then just stay with the sriracha. Overall our visit was great. Our waitress was really friendly and helpful. read more

Server was rude, acted like she did not want to be there I was wondering why it was empty on a Sunday afternoon and now I know why Brought takeout for the family, everyone was vomiting or having to use the restroom. My father in law was so sick, we had to take him to the hospital for IVs for dehydration from vomiting all night. Never buying from here again. Needs a -7 star! read more

Food is okay, nothing to be proud of. Service was good, (it's like a family restaurant) Ambience was good too. I maybe be reconsidering recommending this restaurant to everyone. read more

The wife had been wanting to try this place for a while and we happened to be in the area, so why not. I tried the Snow Coco Roll and it was ok. It was fresh and made to order but there was just something missing. Our server was new and was oblivious to gluten and gluten free offerings. Even after we discussed it with her she proceeded to let us order a dish that contained gluten but didn't show the gluten ingredient in the menu for that particular item. They were very nice once we brought it to their attention and removed it from our tab since we could not eat it. read more

Food is 10/10! All rolls fresh, tempura and baked are delicious. The service here is elite , always friendly. The ambiance is balanced.

On November 27, 2024, I placed an order through Uber Eats. I arrived at the location to pick up my order and the staff was confused because they did not know about the order. I showed them my phone and told them I bought a lunch special and a salmon roll. One of the older women found the receipt and said they couldn't fulfill the order because it was not lunch time. I was a little annoyed because there were no times indicating was classified as dinner and what was lunch, but no big deal. I told them I would cancel through uber eats and placed an order in store. I paid them in store and went on my way. Checking my email, I see that I was ALSO charged through uber eats because the reason was "Love Sushi (Coffee Rd) had already started your order, so you were charged for the food." This was a lie. Love Sushi not only was paid for an order that I paid them in store for but ALSO paid through Uber Eats. I was unable to dispute the charge because it was past Uber's 48 hour policy on cancelled orders because they had already paid their merchants. Should have I been monitoring my emails more closely, maybe. BUT why would I think there would be an issue when I was told they couldn't fulfil the order AND they didn't even know about it until I showed up??? So not only did Love Sushi receive money from me in store, but also through Uber Eats. This is a super shady business tactic and I will never be returning after this experience. Do not order from them because they are double dipping from their customers pockets. read more

Came to Love Sushi today for the first time and I'm so glad that I finally tried it. The Bulgogi bento box is deliscious! Oh and the customer service has been lovely. Definitely coming back but next time I'll bring my momma. read more

Did we come in 40 minutes before closing. Yes. But that's doesn't excuse messing up the order & not giving you all that your meal offers. & there maybe a pregnant mama who's excited for a specific thing. 1. We ordered a specific bento box. Not only did they give us the incorrect one, but also left out the tempera which was what i was looking forward for most. 2. Ordered a roll that was so small & so sad. Coming in so late I didn't even want to mention the mess up. I do believe that shouldn't mess up the quality & efficiency of service *side note we did tell them & they were kind enough to send us home with the correct meat. read more

The worst customer service I've had in a long time and I promise I'll never go back. My husband ordered two rolls and a side order of spicy garlic edamame. I went inside, told the waitress I was there to pick up and order and gave her my husbands name. She brought out the food and I paid for it. As we are driving home (approximately10 minutes after picking up our food) we get a call from the waitress at love sushi telling me that I had to go back because I "got the wrong food". I mentioned to her that I got the food she gave me and I confirmed my husbands name for the order with her. The waitress started arguing with me and telling me that I told her the wrong name and blamed me for taking the food. She raised her voice, was very unprofessional, and didn't even apologize for the inconvenience. Upon arriving there with the food that they requested, I realized that they also overcharged me by $5, but when I confronted them about the errors, they only gave me $1.08. I was not going to be petty and argue over $4, but I was extremely disappointed in their service, lack of professionalism and there was no effort to compensate for their errors and for the inconvenience they caused me. There was no accountability. On top of that, once I got home, I realized that my order was also inaccurate!! Ugh!! Never again will I go to this place. After reading some of the other reviews, it seems like other people have had similar experiences. No wonder the place is always dead. Maybe they need to train their people to have better customer service or at least not to blame customers for their mistakes and take accountability. read more

My husband and I love coming here. The food is delicious, and when you come in they'll give you a sample of something they're making and a small plate of edamame. The waitresses are kind and friendly, and the ambiance is nice. We've never had a bad experience here. I definitely recommend coming for a date night. read more

The sushi pizza had a little bit of a kick but not too bad and was so good. The BSCR Roll is great for anyone who likes scallops luckily I do. The staff were very friendly and attentive. It wasn't very busy in there lots of open space. Everything was easy to understand would definitely go back. The bathrooms could use a little bit of maintenance but other than that it's a great place. read more

Ordered pick-up. 4 rolls and 2 were completely wrong. The menu I ordered from was not correct and things I didn't want in the roll were put in for unknown reason. Taste of the rolls I did have, was okay, nothing like other sushi places in Bako. Gyoza weren't very flavorful either. Overall NOT impressed. read more

Decent sushi. Although, the wait is pretty long even when they're not busy. The taste is a 3/5, there are definitely better places to try. read more

This place has went down hill. The service was excellent however the food was not! My husband and I use to drive from the east side of Bakersfield just to eat here and sad to say now I wouldn't walk across the street. The quality of the food is poor. We ordered a Fantasy roll which doesn't have anything spicy.... When the server brought it out it had sriracha on it. We told her that it was wrong. She took it back up, the owners daughter said the picture has "RED" on top and refused to fix it also refused to take it off the check. The owners daughter came to the table and said I should've ordered something with no "RED" in the picture as she pointed to a shrimp roll. read more

This place has always been mediocre, but not bad enough for me to write a review. But tonight was a different story. Our party of 4 adults and 3 kids walked in to an EMPTY restaurant, wanting to enjoy each other's company and have a few rolls, but was greeted by one of the rudest waitresses we've ever come across. She initially sat us down and I wanted to put in an order of the hamachi collar right away as I know it takes some time to cook, but she rudely tells me before I can even finish my sentence "we don't have any!". Oookay... strike one. So we just order some sake and Sapporo. She comes back and asked if two glasses were enough, knowing very well there were FOUR adults so she walks away with an attitude to grab the additional glasses. Strike two. We were contemplating leaving because customer service is everything. She was ruining our time with her attitude, but decided to stick it out. We finished our complimentary edamame and the kids wanted more so we asked for another serving. That's when we heard the loudest, most "you're inconveniencing me" sigh and eye roll come out of her. Strike three. And that's when we decided that we would not be dining there and left. She may have been having a bad day. Maybe something was going on in her personal life that put her in that mood, but we did nothing to her and did not deserve the awful service we got. We were so disappointed and hope that she's not always like that, but we will not be returning. read more

It was a fun night! They were okay with us being a little late, and they were just spoiling us with different types of fish and sauce. Not only were they really kind, but they were also making sure that we were okay and comfortable. I will come back as soon as I can! read more

Will never come back. I usually love all the love sushi restaurants but this one I've been to multiple times never had a problem get the same thing everytime and the sushi is always fresh and good portions. I ordered take out and my portion was literally cut more than half and the spicy tuna was almost brown. Very disappointing won't be going back read more

This place is usually delicious! I love the 911 roll and the Las Vegas. Both of which I recommend trying. I've been coming here for years and have finally started to try the sushi itself (not the roll). It is delicious! I love the salmon. I usually get Sesame Chicken for my fiancée as she doesn't really enjoy seafood. It is normally good! This time, however, it was not. Where it is normally saucy and covered in a glaze, it arrived to us this time looking like hash browns covered in ketchup. We were hoping her saving gracing could be the order of Gyoza which we ordered on the side, and when it arrived it looked crunchy and delicious. Again, sadly, they were not. They were soft, with no crunch at all, which baffled me when looking at them. They were utterly disappointing. Don't get me wrong, I have been coming here for over 8 years, but they seem to be going a bit downhill. read more

My first time there, walked in without nobody to greet me. Finally someone came told me that I can sit at any table, so I chose one. Then I was told, "Not that table." I ordered the tiger roll tempra in which was not cooked, so I preferred something else and asked which sushi roll was good, and they gave me an option of one. It had no flavor, the workers are very condescending, and when asked for my refund back I was told, "No" as if that isn't my money. Only one of the cooks was very nice and understanding. read more
