We came to Jefferson City to look at some vehicles and I scoped out some restaurants in the area on yelp and came across this gem. The restaurant was literally half a mile from a dealership we were at and I was starving so it was meant to me. We went inside and it was a small, cozy environment. The exterior looked like an old fast food drive thru restaurant because they had a drive thru window on the side of the building... but of course being the foodie I am, I never judge the book by its cover cus some of the best restaurants look a bit worn down. Now for the service, the asian woman who was serving was- maybe she was the owner- was very attentive and always made sure our water glasses were full and made sure we didn't need anything. When we ordered, it didn't take long for our food to trickle in and man did I not regret choosing this location to eat at! We ordered a shrimp tempura roll, Sexy Guy roll, and the chicken bento box and were so full we could barely even finish our rolls. The food was delicious and mind you, I am extremely picky about my sushi. We will definitely be back for more! This was the best sushi I've had since we've been in Missouri and that's saying a lot considering the fact that I drive to Springfield every week and have tried many restaurants there. read more

I visited Love Sushi while in Jefferson City for work on the recommendation of a local. The restaurant is charmingly small and cozy with K-pop on TV. There are also Korean dishes on the menu like bibimbap and sweet potato noodles (our local colleague's favorite). I wanted a little bit of everything so I got a bento box. I got a couple nigiri for my sushi fix, but the teriyaki salmon was nicely cooked too. Others at the table enjoyed their meals but the one who got the lobster roll said there was little lobster in it. The people were nice and it was a nice change from the chains. read more

Love Sushi - Salmon teriyaki bento box - Sushi Bars Near Me - Jefferson City, Missouri

came in on father day 6-21-26 horrible experience. not only was the waiter rude and impolite with the way she told us to order didn't even stay one minute to wait for us to order our drinks, she went to attend a family that just barely walked in the door and gave them hugs & acknowledged them as if me and my wife didn't exist. I will never come here again, I will perfer to go to fuji at the Capital Mall due to their hospitality and service. The bathroom at love sushi is horrendous and nasty, completely out dated and has a small stench to it. if it wasn't for two other ppl staring me down that work there i would say its bc they don't have enough help but if they had time to stare me and my wife down then they deff have enough employees to help out the only waiter who was obviously stressed ( mind you it's like a 50 yr old lady attending ppl) I hate it here now and I used to come here all the time. Their service and quality has gone downhill do not eat here if you plan on tipping well bc they do not derserve it.. feel like this place is bias being that we were the only Spanish/latinos there and the rest were English speaking customers. 10/10 would not recommend this place to any of my family or friends. read more

It's gone downhill over the years. Our last visit was borderline inedible. Slightly dirty. Service was not too great to top it off. Columbia has some great spots. I wish Jeff City could obtain some of those also. read more

Love Sushi - Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Jefferson City, Missouri

I was in town for a work trip and decided to go out for sushi. This place did not disappoint! The sushi was seriously SO GOOD!!! And I'm a very picky sushi eater. When I first walked in, there was really nowhere to stand and not look awkward while waiting to be seated. Also, there is no sign that tells you if you should seat yourself or wait to be seated. As info, you wait to be seated. It's a small restaurant with a regular flow of customers. I went around 6pm and had no problem getting a table. The waitress was very nice and helpful. My rolls and salad came out super fast! The price for the rolls was good too considering I ordered two specialty rolls. Highly recommend!! read more

Love Sushi - Roll on the left is the Oops Roll and roll on the right is the Hawaiian roll. Both were absolutely delicious!! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Jefferson City, Missouri

The food was bland and tasteless. Inside it's sticky and is dirty. The bathroom is horrendous, would not recommend this place. The service was alright. read more

Sushi was delicious, service could be a little friendlier. We had a party of 6 and ordered 10 different rolls and asked for a few minutes to get our order correct, the lady that took our order seemed like we were wasting her time read more

Food is wonderful. The waitress is always aloof and glad to be rid of you. I've never been asked if I want anything else or refills of water. Just a check & removes the plate when she decides. read more

Japchae noodles were perfect except a very very small amount in the normal size take out container California roll also perfect then bulgogi chicken also just great bit little amounts because of the very very small take out rip off we are giving a low review read more

This place is just all around always amazing!! Best sushi place I have ever been too and i always like to try new places but they just never compare to the service and quality!! read more

The sushi is the best in town! We go there frequently & we've never had a bad meal! The ambiance is a bit silly with plastic plants, but the chefs are very knowledgeable & friendly! read more

They've gone downhill a bit since opening, but they still have some of the best sushi in town. The real great thing here is their bento dinners though. There's always a birthday when I go though, and their birthday thing is super annoying. read more

We really enjoy coming here. Very nice atmosphere with good sushi. The last time we went we didn't realize both rolls we were getting were almost identical. That was our fault. We'll be back. read more

Not busy. Great sushi for mid Missouri! Plenty of items on the menu from which to choose.

Fresh sushi but the smallest slices of fish I have ever seen in my life. Each slice is a 1/3 of the normal length and 1/3 of width but same prices as other places. read more

A converted KFC shell has become by the premiere sushi restaurant in Jefferson City for a decade. Overall, it is excellent especially for the price. Highly recommend the bento box for lunch read more

Portions are miniscule. We ordered a second entree and stiill left hungry. $60 and we had to hit McD's to feel like we had a meal. The place dark, cramped with loud music blaring. read more

This place is a local institution for excellent sushi. Super nice service and restaurant. I love the Be Bim Bop.

First time I have visited Love Sushi. The Oh My! Came out in flames... literally. Presentation was fabulous. We got 2 rolls and shared them. Both were very tasty and I wanted more as the flavor was so good. Luckily I stopped so I wasn't miserable. The place seems busy all the time and is fairly small inside. I would recommend giving them a whirl! read more

Great sushi, fantastic service!! We came in at 830pm on a Tuesday night after bowling. My daughter and myself were having a mommy/daughter mini vacay and staying in holts summit. She had a sushi craving so I took to Yelp to find a solution! I am so glad we came here. We will be back next time we visit from STL. read more

I ordered the New Zealand green tip muscles, they were good, a bit heavy on the mayo, but overall pretty good. And would order this again. I also ordered 4 types of sushi - white tuna, octopus, scallop and eel. 2 pcs each. This is the smallest portion of fish and rice that I have ever had at a sushi restaurant. Again the taste was good, but they are ultra conservative on cuts of fish and rice and the price is on the higher side for each order. Not something I will do again. I will likely stick to their rolls next time. read more

Been her twice... 5 months ago and tonight. Being from sf ca, I was leery to get sushi in a landlocked state tbh. The first time I went with a friend that had worked in a sushi restaurant so he went in and vouches for them lol. Really fresh and super fast. Love that the chefs greet you when you open the door! Will def stop here when I'm in Jeff city again (Edit) 10/2019 - wanted to update as I've been here at least a dozen more times since I moved to Missouri last year. ALWAYS delicious, fresh, good service!!! Very consistent!! Domo arigato!!! read more

Love Sushi - a variety of different types of sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Jefferson City, Missouri

I live in St. Louis, but I will still drive to Jeff City for sushi after becoming hooked on this spot in college. The photo-covered walls really show what a community-centric spot this is and the music videos are great entertainment while dining. But you really haven't dined at Love Sushi until you've witnessed a birthday celebration. read more

We went there on a Saturday night in the middle of July. There was a concert in town, so there weren't that many people as usual during the dinner rush. We were seated right after we entered and given menus. The place was about half full. We looked at our menu and around the restaurant. It was rather cramped quarters as the restaurant is housed in a very small old KFC. We sat there over 10 minutes and saw a man and woman serving people and bringing the checks etc. We had questions about the menu and were waiting to put in the drink orders. As the servers passed, they didn't even look at us, and we were seated in the front row of tables. After being passed three more times, we got up and left. I don't think they saw us leave. I won't go there again. We went to Paddy Malone's instead and had a table and drinks in less than 2 mins. read more

Always great food!! But they fill up fast, try the dragon roll or their combination box

Best sushi in town Best service Cheerful atmosphere. Great staff read more

The top sushi place in Jefferson City! The staff is always welcoming and friendly. We've ordered dine in and takeout and the food is always delicious - we prefer the Heart Attack, Oops and Tiger rolls but all of them are phenomenal (haven't found a bad one yet). Lots of other options (Bibimbap or Hot Stone bowls) for the sushi adverse friend or family member, too. read more

Food was acceptable one piece of shrimp was undercooked but the heart attack sushi was really good plus the service was just nonexistent we were the only ones in the restaurant but yet we didn't get checked up on or given any refills while we were there plus are waitress and someone else sat right next to us and ate there own food. read more

Definitely recommend this place if you're around the area or looking for local sushi! Great prices and better food. 10% discount if paying cash. read more

Not necessarily a bad review because over the years I've absolutely had nothing but good experiences having the variety of options off of their menu. Been going there so long I even have my own set of chopsticks, which implies I enjoy and return satisfied. I went in yesterday and got an old familiar favorite along with four pieces of sushi and when the food came out everything was drowning in the sweet and savory dressing with onions, sadly I could not taste the white tuna or salmon sushi fish or the fresh roll as everything is overwhelmed with the sauce, is that the new common place as it's been about a year since I have been and I don't remember having such a poor experience for $30... I suppose next time I'll request in advance they leave it naked... from visiting other sushi restaurants throughout the US I know less is more and the sequence of eating light to dark on the fish is extinguished as the pallet cannot tell the difference when thousand Island dressing is the dominant flavor read more

Long time customers. Food and service are great! Very fresh sushi. The place doesn't smell fishy...which is a good thing.

Best sushi for me a person who doesn't like normal sushi but more then fried tempura rolls. Dragon roll is amazing. So many good options never had a bad dish. Servers and everyone is always so nice and friendly. read more

The food here is phenomenal and priced very fairly. The service is very good as well. My boyfriend and I were very impressed with our entire experience. We drove an hour because we have no sushi restaurants closer and I'd definitely drive an hour for this sushi again. read more

Much impressed, bravo! I'll be coming back soon!!! The sushi was on point! I was skeptical at first, but after I got my food, it was presented nicely and taste was amazing. Amazing service, and clean atmosphere. Would recommend it to anyone who is trying to get sushi in the area, maybe even sushi fans in the state even. I'm glad I gave it a shot, and I will be coming back for more. Thank you so much! read more

My favorite sushi spot in mid-mo! My family has all agreed this is their favorite as well! Sexy lady roll is my favorite.

Way over priced Love Sushi charges too much for such small portions. You can go to Fuji during the lunch hours and get more for half the price! $11 for a Philadelphia roll is horrible! read more

Fantastic service, amazing food, beautiful atmosphere... Perfect set up for a good time.
