    From one of our other visits.
    Sheila K.

    One of our occasional date spots. I'm not gonna lie, the first time I tried this place years ago-- I did not like it. But, since being with my bf... he said he liked it, so I gave it another chance and it hasn't disappointed since... other than raising their prices (ugh, inflation). The restaurant is nice... but not super fancy nice. I don't feel pressure to dress a certain way coming here so I like that. They keep it clean, plenty of available seating on both sides of the restaurant, as well as the sushi bar, and the outside patio. Host/Hostesses are always quick to greet you and get you seated as soon as possible. I've never waited too long, but I don't usually stick around if they (any restaurant) tell me it's an hour or more wait (if I'm starving). The longest I've waited here was probably 40mins... but we kept ourselves entertained. As for service at the table? I've never had an issue with any of our waiters/waitresses. Good job. When it's the two of us, we usually stick to the same type of rolls. He always goes for anything with Tuna, I go for Salmon (raw). I've switched between the K-Roll (name has changed from Kaylee or something) and the Psycho roll. They are basically the same thing honestly... just one has crab, one doesn't. He did Mura Mura this time, usually he does Marilyn Monroe. Again, there's no difference. All of their rolls are pretty similar with the slightest difference between each. I've tried a few others when I dined with my siblings but I can't remember what they were... all similar I'm sure, but all good. Oh, anything with thin lemon slices are good too. For appetizers, my favorite is the Stuffy Mushrooms. I prefer it without the fish flakes though. & I wish there was actually more of the pepper in there... it's just one tiny little piece. Edamame is always a good snack and they have different flavor options. The Mussels are okay here... not the best so it's not a must for me. Can't recall anything else at the moment. Anyway, we like I Love Sushi.

    Super sunomono salad
    Jenna g.

    We came at 6pm on a Saturday. It was bustling but we didn't have to wait for a table which was great. There are rules posted all over the walls around the waiting area which is a little off-putting but I get it, people can be wild. The dining room and bathroom were clean and comfortable. Our servers were friendly and prompt. We ordered the super sunomono for starters. Very yummy! For rolls we got the wrecked, sushi mafia, and the nutty. All of them were great. I like that you can eat each slice in one bite and all were very flavorful. Can't wait to come back.

    Always good service and fresh Sushi... Never disappointed!!

    Great food and service. I love going here for sushi. Place is always busy, but wait times are rare.

    I love I love sushi!! The super jack black roll is my FAVORITE. So yummm. But besides that, every time I've went, we have been seated fairly quick! The workers are nice and welcoming as well. When ordering, you scan the QR code for the menu and the server takes your order! Don't really like the set up of the menu but it is what it is, could be neater and easier to navigate. All the sushi I've had here has been good. Haven't had a bad experience yet :)

    Tuna seaweed salad , tuna steak animal style

    Love coming here, their sushi is always good. Service is quick and friendly. One of the reasons why I love coming here is because of their sauce! I love spicy and they come through with the spicy sauce, I believe it's called 911 sauce and the 1822 sauce. It's a blended mixture of green chilis and the spiciest one is topped off with a capsicum hot sauce. So bomb, need to have it at every sushi spot.

    Seaweed tuna salad. Supposed to be spicy, it wasn't.
    Mary T.

    This is one of our go to sushi spots. They have a variety of sushi rolls and I like that they separate them by groups. For example, raw, cooked, salmon, tuna, torched etc.. easier to find what you want. Can b a lil overwhelming when u cant decide tho but for sure you'll find something. Love their 911 spicy sauce! I always get a spicy sushi roll. Usually with a side of spicy tuna/seaweed salad. This time we ordered the fried shrimp stuffed crab bomb things and total rip off. It's like two shrimp cut n spread apart stuff with imitation crab and got like mayo on it. Got the price it was not worth it! Never getting that again. Also ordered nigiri combo that came with miso soup and salad. The service for take out is good. They gave me a call when it was ready.

    Spicy Scallop Roll
    Taryn K.

    Our waitress balanced attentiveness and space very well. She was friendly and efficient. Restaurant is nice, though the first bench I sat on sloped downwards, the second did not. We sat on the table side away from the counter and noise level was typical for any restaurant. If you like tempura they had a ton of options on the menu. I tried to order rolls that would hopefully be mostly gluten free. If you like spicy the cinco de mayo was good. Spicy scallops were excellent to me, husband said it was only okay. Tofu roll was my favorite of everything. Salmon skin was also really good. I would not order the Gaga roll again. I did not like the miso soup, but I did like the salad.

    The front

    Yes its called I love sushi but this place makes me never want to eat sushi again. I ordered the cali fried roll with spicy mayo and they put teriyaki sauce on top and the spicy mayo on the side but it wasn't in the description that they add the teriyaki sauce. The "spicy mayo" did not look like it had any mayonnaise and it was not spicy at all. The fried part of the sushi was very flavorless and oily, I couldn't taste what was in the sushi because of the fried part being so bland. I asked the waiter if I can just order the regular California roll instead and they said there is nothing they can do and proceeded to charge me. Very disappointing that they could not fulfill my accommodations or requests or even suggest something to make me feel better about paying for something I didn't like. The environment itself was decent but was not authentic. As soon as I left I felt sick and got food poisoning. 1/10 would not recommend and will never go again.

    Valentines Day 2025 Went in for lunch but lunch combos not available since today is a holiday. Really? Ordered & enjoyed anyway. Our server was mediocre.

    Spicy salmon salad
    Jason S.

    Came here this week for lunch with a co worker and really enjoyed it! Service was outstanding and everyone here is super friendly and would have me coming back just for the service. Inside not your typical sushi ambiance but loved the great music and upbeat attitudes working here. Food was really good I had the spicy poke salad and thought this was a 5 out of 5. I would for sure come back and wasn't expecting to find a unique sushi spot like this in Fresno but sure glad I did. I would for sure be back.

    I really wanted to give this place five stars and I would give it 4 1/2 if I could, but a four star review will have to suffice for the moment. I love sushi has been a really neat place in the valley for sushi. I like the decor and the layout of the restaurant I find it to be a really neat little experience. I think the sushi is usually very very good, so there isn't much to complain about there. I will say I recently went and ordered a couple rolls, some nigiri, as well as a hand roll. The nigiri and sushi rolls were very tasty, but the hand roll was mediocre. I also find the appetizers to be quite delicious and would highly recommend the mixed tempura. My wife and I did order the spicy edamame, which had good flavoring, but the edamame was definitely undercooked. The staff is also pretty solid. I found the wait time for our sushi and food to be fast. I would definitely recommend I love sushi and I will continue to be a patron of this restaurant. I'd like to go a few more times in the next couple months and possibly update my yelp review, with the hopes of giving it that five stars.

    Pineapple Sake
    Amanda P.

    The pineapple sake was cold and refreshing. I was expecting the alcohol flavor to be strong but it was sweet and easy to drink. Both sushi rolls were so good and had alot of toppings. We also ordered the chicken teriyaki supreme. This was our least favorite. It did not have enough sauce and was dry. I'd stick to their sushi rolls. The service was good, waitress was friendly. We sat by the bathrooms and there was a noticeable musty water smell.

    We decided to celebrate my mom's birthday at this teppanyaki restaurant and made the drive out to…read moreFresno. It was our first time visiting, and overall we had a wonderful experience. One word of advice: if you're planning to join the waitlist, I recommend calling ahead for a more accurate wait time. The website initially showed no one ahead of us, but after joining the waitlist it indicated several parties were waiting. When we arrived, we were told the wait would be about 45 minutes, which wasn't ideal with a couple of hungry kids. Thankfully, we were seated within about 10 minutes. Our server, Patrick, was fantastic! He provided excellent customer service, took the time to explain the sushi rolls, helped us navigate the kids' menu, and was attentive throughout our meal. Patrick, thank you for helping make my mom's birthday dinner so memorable. Khasey was our chef, and the food was absolutely delicious. He made sure we had every sauce we asked for. The teppanyaki experience for the children was engaging and fun. To top it off, the staff brought out a cute birthday dessert and sang a birthday tune for my mom, which made the celebration even more special. The location is another huge plus. It's situated in a great area near Fresno State with plenty to do before or after dinner, including ice cream shops, boba spots, VR gaming, and movie theaters. Overall, we had a great experience and can't wait to come back!

Everything came out of the kitchen and bar promptly and our chef for the evening was a DELIGHT!! There were two special events at our table so they got sparklers as a part of the show which was so fun! Not only did the chef have all the tricks of a fun teppenyaki up his sleeve but the food was immaculate! Moist flavorful rice, crisp veggies and meat done to everyone's preference. I was here one other time where we just got sushi and that was fun too! Overall I very nice experience and good food.

    A lot comes to mind when you hear the name Fresno. Raisins, Agriculture, Bridge to nowhere, but…read moreSushi is not one of them. So when my son asked us to meet him, his lovely wife and our 3 granddaughters for dinner on a recent visit I didn't have my hopes up. Namikaze is a nice quiet restaurant that from its decor could easily be an Italian, French or American restaurant. Just change the paintings on the wall. The Menu is pretty expansive. A full menu of Sushi, noodles, gyoza and rolls made it difficult to choose but eventually we narrowed it down. I always try the Unagi (eel) at any sushi restaurant. It is my barometer for how good everything else will probably be. It was good. I also ordered the Kimono Roll while my wife had Shogun roll. We also tried the Chicken Gyoza. Everything was terrific. Excellent taste and fresh. Next time someone asks me about Fresno I'll say "Fresno! They have good sushi there". Definitely Recommended.

I was immediate greeted by the two Sushi chefs behind the counter as I walked in. Not long after, the host greeted me and handed me a menu for me to select my order to go. I considered a poke bowl, however, their sauces were pretty standard. So instead I opted for their seaweed salad that came with a number of protein including tuna, edamame, shrimp, avocado, and masago. It was $19, so it wasn't necessarily inexpensive, however I figured a poke bowl with a couple proteins would run me right about there as well. The sushi chef got right away to work preparing my meal and I was in and out within 5 minutes. When I got home, I opened up my box and was a little underwhelmed with the presentation. The protein is cut up into small pieces and mixed in with the seaweed salad. In addition it is not pure seaweed as it is also mixed in with a bunch of other greens such as sprouts. So while the presentation was not what I was expecting, I was pleasantly surprised that I really enjoyed the flavors and textures. I will definitely order this again.

Whether you're craving sushi, teriyaki, or ramen, they really have something for everyone. The sushi and sashimi are incredibly fresh -- honestly some of the freshest fish we've had at any sushi restaurant. It tastes like the chef went out and caught it that morning. The 14-piece sashimi platter with a couple of rolls was more than enough for two people, and everything was excellent quality. The ramen is also fantastic, but fair warning: the bowls are HUGE, so definitely come hungry. Their garlic edamame is absolutely addictive, and we really enjoyed the poke in the seaweed poke salad, though the dish does lean very heavily on the seaweed, so just keep that in mind before ordering. Cassidy is new to the restaurant and waited on us. an Shewas wonderful -- super friendly, attentive, patient, and just genuinely great service all around. The only downside was the new menu design.
