I Love Sushi on Lake Union
Since 1992, I Love Sushi on Lake Union has been serving the greater Seattle area as I Love Sushi’s second branch.
On sunny days, enjoy the sunshine, fresh air and the water view on our lakeside patio. At night, stay warm inside, or try dining outside under heat lamps, accompanied by hot sake! The starry sky and spectacular view of the illuminated Space Needle make us glad to be here in Washington.
Upon entering, you'll be greeted by our friendly staff. Whether you're a first time sushi eater or a connoisseur, we'd be glad to help you navigate our menu, and steer you to something you will enjoy.
Great atmosphere, superb food, and fine drinks!

"8:00 on a Saturday night and every sushi place in the area seemed to have a 20+ minute wait! 'I Love Sushi' let us right in when I made last minute reservations, and we weren't elbow-to-elbow with the other patrons. I love a quiet dinner, and on a weekend, that's hard to find with how picky I am when it comes to sushi! Although it's a little pricey for the quality/presentation, the specials were pretty reasonable, and we left completely stuffed. The major pros would be: the real, yes REAL crab in their rolls, clever cocktails, and ambiance. The only con that really comes to mind is the nigiri; it was very good, but less memorable than the price."

"This is a great place to get sushi that does not disappoint. Yet do have many "Americanized" rolls, with either cream cheese or mayo (ewww), but they have good, classic sushi as well. I was seated with a party of 4 very quickly, ordered in the first 5 minutes, and had my sushi shortly after. The view of the water is great and the prices were very average for Seattle sushi."

"I Love Sushi is consistently one of the best sushi restaurants in the greater Seattle area. The food is fresh. The presentation is excellent. The service is always very good. This is one of my favorite "go-to" lunch spots. A very nice location too - on Lake Union. It is on a marina so boat-watching (and gawking) is great."

"Had a great meal, as always, at I Love Sushi. My dinner companion wasn't fond of raw fish (so why go to a sushi restaurant? you ask) but found plenty of cooked entrees to satisfy. I, too, decided to go for a cooke entree and had a wonderful piece of Chilean sea bass -- succulent and melted in my mouth. I couldn't resist a few pieces of sushi which were tasty and very fresh as expected. All in all, a great dining experience."
