Hands down one of my favorite spots! I love 'I love sushi" and was beyond thrilled with having an express in the area! I get the veggie rice and spring roll and I am pleased every single time!

Salmon, ahi tuna, avocado, cucumber,  edamame, garlic vinegar & siracha aioli.

I'm so glad this location exists! I've been wanting to try a good, quality sushi burrito for a long time. They're not very common in this area and those that I've saw haven't appealed to me. I saw a local blogger rave about their build your own sushi burrito a couple weeks ago and I knew I had to try it. I was able to place my order online with breeze, and picked up in store with no issues. Let me just say that this burrito was solid and very filling. It had the perfect ratio of rice, protein and add-ons. It held together really well and didn't crumble apart immediately. The texture was better than I imagined and it tasted absolutely amazing! It was a bit pricey because of the double protein ($11 for each protein). I spent $20+ for this particular combination, but it did not disappoint. I look forward to returning to try their teriyaki and build your own poke bowls.

Hawaiian PoKe Bowl
Hector G.

Overall: Easy to reach location near Trash Panda Stadium. Great food, friendly service, process on par with others sushi places, poke bowls and teriyaki bowls Should you go: Absolutely Review: We got there for dinner and I was pleasantly surprised. It was nice in the inside with lots of seating and friendly service. Is a fast casual place where you pick your food first, they make it and then you pay at the end of the counter. We had the Hawaiian Classic and Yuzi Salmon PoKe bowls and they were both delicious. We went all out and had sushi also and the Miso to try it all. It was all delicious. Everything was fresh and portions were good. Pro: - Great food - Miso machine (automatically dispensers) Con: - None Fat Boy thumbs up here!

California Roll with ginger and Wasabi
Ken R.

Well I'm updating my review. The food this time wasn't bad even though I got white rice even though I ordered fried rice. Not amazing, but it had a nice flavor. I had one of the bowls with beef and California Roll. The bowl was pretty good. The Wasabi and ginger were good on the California Roll. The roll itself was a bit soggy. It had been premade so that was to be expected. I try them again right before closing and see if they have improved.

Build Your Own Sushi Burrito- Ahi tuna was delicious and fresh 1st visit.

I have to give ILSE more love because I went back, well, friend ordered & agreed to pay so I took a chance. I have to say ILSE is absolutely winning the Poké war right now. Bowl compared to Oshi (very rude people) & Aki (throw up action) is very on point, more fresh, closer to Poké in Hawaii & the city where bowls are loaded... ILSE may not have as many toppings but it's working in their favor because they're maintaining it well. Other good points ILSE: 1.They do not argue with customers 2. Bowls are full 4. Customization/ Build your own is substantial & typically fresh 5. I haven't seen any up charges for extra veggies or toppings and we do check our receipts 6. They deliver for about $.99 from the Hub. OSHI CHARGES $6.99 for delivery no matter what= Math Done! And they act like they want a street fight if you ask for extra anything. We vote ILSE for good Poké

Build Your Own Sushi Burrito

I love stopping by I Love Sushi Express in Town Madison for a quick meal. I love that you can build your own sushirrito, poke bowl, poke salad, or Donburi bowl. The ingredients are always fresh and always delicious. They also have grab and go sushi rolls. Great food and service every time!

Pink Pleasure Roll
Kelly D.

Sushi tastes exactly like the sit down restaurant version. I really enjoy stopping by here for lunch or on my way home from work. Grab-n-go sushi is always stocked and nothing has ever tasted old or like it had been sitting out for a long time. I just wish the prices weren't so high for a counter service place - I'll keep doing back though.

Dragon Roll and Taro Bubble Tea

Quick and friendly service, the sushi was fresh and amazing, the restaurant was clean and very welcoming! Will definitely be going back!

The I Love Sushi Express off Zierdt is by far one of the best sushi restaurants in the Huntsville area. Fantastic food, awesome staff and fun, clean environment. Gluten-free options available. Highly recommend the sushi burritos. Will be frequenting this location

Funny thing about Huntsville's food scene is that it's really hard to find local spots that 1. Last…read moreand 2. Are worth mentioning. But... Where they exist they're embraced. People started mentioning Miso Happy to me a solid year and a half before I finally went. Then it was a... Tsunami. I've always brought no less than 4 people and thrice now there's been groups of teens on tatami mats and gallons of boba. I think what makes Miso Happy is it's ability to be approachable but also fairly authentic in its offerings. This building was... something else. This restaurant used to be called Edo, like the old world Japanese capital and a ton of American Japanese steakhouse across the nation. It looks like a traditional sukiya-zukuri which really has a casual but refined "vibe"... Great for friends and family alike. If you have a group, there's tatami and seiza setting --be advised: drop your shoes and your butt closer to the floor. There's also an embrace of this anime wave as Totoro motif that somehow fits. The staff is inviting and works to accommodate changes as they come up. Now I haven't tried every sushi roll in the place yet but it's reliably fresh and tasty. There's no euphoric or transcendent experience to be had as far as I've experienced BUT... They don't miss, either. There's also donburi and hibachi, bento boxes and lots of "comfortable" dishes to make everybody feel at home. And then there's the ramen. It's among the best in Huntsville... and that's considering even some favorite ramenya in town like Kamado and new comers like Kyuramen. The broths are distinguishable, deeply flavored and has something for just about everyone: shoyu, tonkatsu, beef and veggje/miso options in deep tetsu bowls with a really nice aesthetic. I tried the big wave poke bowl last time and they're also satisfying... Further pushing the idea that Miso Happy is a great Japanese generalist in town. Food: 4.5/5.00 - near tops in the genre locally Atmosphere: 4.25/5.00 - a melding of worlds done well Service: 4.25 - never had a bad visit X-Factor: 4.5 - such a vibe regardless of what you're expecting Overall: 4.375/5.00 Ps: There's a little garden to the left of the entrance that's worth just stopping to admire, especially in good weather.

I'm in town for work and love trying new restaurants. I saw good reviews for this restaurant and…read morethat it was Studio Ghibli inspired and knew I had to try it out. The exterior alone is adorable! A traditional Japanese building with little figurines and even a large Totoro in the garden. It felt whimsical and nostalgic. I was seated right away and the staff were incredibly kind and attentive, checking in without being intrusive. The owner even stopped by each table to make sure everything was perfect but didn't linger too long. I started with the takoyaki, and it was one of the best I've ever had. Crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside, and the octopus was tender. The sauce and bonito flakes were just the right amount. For my entree, I ordered the curry chicken katsu lunch special, which comes with a soup or salad. I chose the miso soup since it was cold out and it was absolutely the right choice. The katsu was perfectly crispy and paired beautifully with the rich Japanese curry. I especially loved the big pieces of mushrooms and onions in the curry. Before heading out, I ordered a lychee green tea with boba and lychee jelly to go. The boba was perfect and didn't get tough sitting in the cold drink like some places. 10/10 would go back and would recommend to anyone who is looking for an authentic and fun Japanese restaurant.

Now, I like sushi, but I'm also kinda not rich. Sushi runs up the check before I run out of hunger. So teriyaki and a lot of water. My wife, her daughter and son-in-law, and I needed to birthday in honor of aforementioned wife. Aki got good reviews on Yelp. None of us had previously tried it, and to end the where-should-we-go round-and-round, I declared for Aki and started the car. We could go back. It was very good. Mm. I can't remember exactly what we all had, dang it. My receipt doesn't say. But son-in-law and I both had shrimp and noodles. Get that. Very tasty brown sauce, plenty of pretty good shrimp (c'mon - this is northern Alabama, not the coast), excellent udon? noodles, perfect onions, sweet sweet carrot. Steamed rice perfectly sticky for picking up with chopsticks. Very savory, just right saltwise. And a salad with tasty dressing, even though it's almost the same dressing at almost every Japanese restaurant. Son-in-law, a strapping sort, ate it all there. I, old, had a whole lunch of leftovers, which were delicious. My wife got beef noodles, I think, but they were different, and didn't come with a salad. The sauce was a little lighter and the beef was robust, a perfect combination. Get that, if you can figure out what it is. (sorry) Daughter got a tuna and avocado roll with pink soybean paper wrapper. It was surprisingly big for the price, and she loved it. The store was clean, though everything was pretty worn - even the menus. Guessing it's because of the heavy traffic of happy people coming to eat here over the last five, I think, years it's been open. Even a couple of tables of seemingly Japanese customers, including one with four cheerful and entertaining kids. Bring the fam, I guess! Service was excellent. The store was very clean and comfortably lit. It was easy to find and get to. Didn't try the bathrooms. Parking was shopping center parking. It all works. Full check for four, water to drink, no appetizer but a tip reflecting the service: $84. Thought that was reasonable. Go there!

If the prices were lower, I would be more forgiving. Value 2/5 Service was great, again. And that does make up for some of the poor value. But the prices were outrageous for what we got. $50 for fish sticks. Not kidding. Atmosphere 2/5 Comfortable enough but the song "unholy" by sam smith played.

TLDR Take the great staff and put them somewhere with better and more reasonably priced food with less depraved music and... I'M THERE!

It's been a while ya'll. Abby was our sweet server and walked us through the menu, explaining their specials and giving suggestions on what she recommended entrée wise. It's prom season and so many handsome couples were enjoying their pre prom dinners it was really fun to see the yutes all dressed up! Because their 3-course meal deal, starting at $15.90 was such a great deal, we went with that and decided to share our choices. I got the bourbon chicken and tempura shrimp, and Sister got the chimichurri mahi-mahi. Both dishes came with our choice of Caesar salad or house salad and an individual brownie with your choice of sauces. We got all the sauces on the side. The Caesar was good despite "dying" quickly since I should have asked for the dressing on the side. The chicken was okay, the mahi-mahi was okay, too. They were cooked just fine, just not a lot of interesting flavors. The shrimp tempura were plain fried shrimp. Again, okay, without a lot of flavor. Both entrees came with white rice and steamed broccoli. Since we were given ample meals and it was under $50.00, including their complimentary bread with olive oil sauce, we were pleased with the price point. Their wine was extra cold and delicious! The staff, including the host and hostess were all friendly, and stayed busy even thought the restaurant was not on a wait. Do consider Bonefish, as other options for the 3-course meal deal include bang bang shrimp tacos, shrimp cavatappi pasta, half pound burger, kung pao shrimp bowl and the mahi-mahi and chicken we ordered.
