    This has to be my favorite sushi spot. It's nothing extravagant, but we always have great service, great food and a great time. My son and I were having a Labor Day date and decided to come in for lunch. The restaurant was fairly empty, which I'm not gonna lie, I absolutely love! We ordered the sushi combo #2 which consists of spicy tuna roll, 4 piece sushi (chef pick), miso soup and house salad. This combo is only 24 bucks and we never finish it! We also ordered a couple of Melon Ramune and they always provide a small bowl of salted edamame as a starter. Love sushi is the only restaurant that I've been to in town that offers you a complimentary sample sushi. I never know what type it is, but of course I don't complain! Also the peanut butter and apple dessert at the end is a beautiful way to end the meal. We love coming here!

    This was one of the firs Sushi Restaurants in Bakersfield. I have been eating here since Yelp existed. I happened to be in the neighborhood today and we decided to drop in for old time sake. Nothing changed, in a good way. It is cozy, small, with a super sweet Japanese lady as the only server. She was so nice, keeping on bringing us free things to try. We were in a mood to pig out. We did sushi a la carte with fatty tuna, salmon, grilled eel, fresh shrimp, tuna, and albacore. Every thing was prepared to perfection and presented beautifully. The dynamite roll was creamy, chewy, layered with texture, nothing short of dynamite. I have had so many great meals and great memories here. Highly recommended for you to try it!

    I will no longer be spending my money at love sushi I come here very often for my dumplings, and as you can see in the photos, it comes with dipping sauce, which I do always ask for an extra one today I asked for an extra one and they wanted to charge me .50 cents. I asked the owner when they start charging for the dumpling sauce. I know they charge for the other sauces, but not this one and he told me they've been charging since last year okay cool but there's no way you want me to pay an extra 50 Cent to get another empty container like the ones in the photo crazy work

    Sweet Honey Roll

    Not a big place!! But it feels very private and spacious. We got our 4 rolls pretty fast, super flavorful and the rice was cooked to perfection. The rolls are a pretty big size. Our waitress made sure to check on us often but not too often where we got uncomfortable. They also gave us a free dessert kind of thing with like an apple and it was a cute way to end the dinner.

    Came here on New Years Day for dinner, as it is one of the few restaurants open (and open late). Ordered a couple of rolls, hamachi collar, and a seafood udon. Everything was delicious! The rolls portion size was pretty big which was a plus. We got complimentary edamame for an appetizer and slice of apples for dessert. Service was relatively quick and waitress was attentive. Casual Japanese restaurant that I recommend if you're craving sushi in the area for a great price.

    Had the best lunch date at Love Sushi in Bakersfield. Finding good sushi in Bakersfield had not been on my bingo card for the day but I was so pleasantly surprised with this meal that I had to come on here to tell you all about it! Love sushi was close to one of my friend's houses so we decided to stop in for lunch. Really the reason we chose this spot was because it wasn't far and it was one of the only sushi restaurants that opened at 11am vs 11:30am. We found this spot easily, clear signage and there was plenty of parking which was great. We walked inside and were immediately welcomed and offered a nice booth in the back. This restaurant is pretty small. Only about 5 booths, a small sushi bar, and a couple tables so on the weekends I would say come earlier. On a weekday this place didn't get too busy but lots of take out orders were coming through. Service & staff here were 5 stars and honestly the best part of this experience. Our waitress/server was darling and super sweet. Very attentive and she knew the menu well which was impressive as they have a large menu. She was helpful and checked up on us often always clearing empty plates and refilling our glasses. The sushi chef was also the kindest guy oh my gosh! He sent complimentary hand rolls over to our table. Who does that? It was so sweet and much appreciated, it set for good vibes right off that bat. That was a really generous free starter. Our meal was definitely very delicious and we both left super stuffed but happy. I'd say their sushi overall was 4 stars but actually their cooked meals and bento box were an unexpected 5 stars for me. Their Bulgogi was some of the best I've had, especially at a sushi restaurant. Almost as good as some Korean bbq spots I've been. The bulgogi had a great sauce and the sauce got hot enough during cooking it gave good little crispy edges to the meat. Super tasty and the bento boxes are Hooked up here! Came with rice, salad, miso soup, California roll, and two fried dumplings. Seriously what a deal?! The sushi was middle of the road to me, I liked some things better than others - my roll was tasty but needed a stronger sauce to give it a little more flavor. I liked the salmon hand rolls though. All in all we had a super fabulous lunch experience here. The restaurant was clean, cute, and cozy - my favorite c's. Haha. Service was impressive and the owner/chef couldn't have been any more generous. He also gave us a tiny apple dessert at the end, so sweet. Food was very good and for the large amount of food we ordered the price was about average. For a good meal though we are happy to pay. Definitely a new spot to come back to next time I'm in town, worth a try if you haven't been here yet. Good people, they deserve your business.

    We have a lot of sushi choices in town. This was my first trip to Love's. Good portions and lots of edamame.

    Tuna Albacore Roll

    No to the fish katsu but yes to the ahi and oysters. Miso soup was too salty and salad was alright nothing special. Couldn't taste the dressing.

    This spot was in a busy shopping center. When we went inside we were greeted and seated right away. The servers were both nice and friendly. The food was really good and would come back again! Thanks

    I ordered the a simple spicy tuna roll added the crab stick inside. This is how they delivered it me. Why would they just throw a crab stick in top like this?! Need a better chef or owner. Used to come here all the time but won't be ordering from them again.

    Apple and peanut butter, and a melon ice bar. Was delicious.
    Javier S.

    Great food, good and friendly service. Beef ramen was delicious. My wife got a california tempura roll she really liked it.

    Sesame Chicken is an amazing appetizer but make sure you have at least a party of 4 because the portion is huge!

    Jin sushi.. your food and waited service, has absolutely hit it out of the box. BUT please read…read morethe whole review.. We shared the garlic edamame which was my absolute favorite and the best edamame I had ever tasted whatever seasonings with the generous amount of garlic was just heavenly. If you like edamame you should love this one you won't be disappointed. I could literally have a bowl of this and a couple of Stella Artois for dinner and have the best night ever. We also shared the bulgogi bento box as well as two rolls,one being the lobster roll the other one being a spicy flaming roll which of course I forgot the name of but either way the ingredients were very fresh the roles were both full of ingredients and everything in the Bento Box, the fried rice the salad & the Bulgogi was tender, all were all tasty and reminiscent of a another restaurant in Bakersfield that is usually my Bento Box go-to. JIn Sushi could absolutely be my most favorite sushi place in Bakersfield if they fix a couple of little things It's only two problems I had with this place one was the seating issue, that they created when we first walked in I had a reservation and waited 25 minutes to be seated I only knew it was an issue because I talked to the lady behind me who had a appointment 15 minutes after mine with three friends and was seated before me, the whole process seemed unorganized and the young lady running it seem to be stressed trying to get it right. The next issue was me reading the health score violations during my extra 25 minute wait and trying to avoid any of the foods that were listed. Something I probably wouldn't have seen if I didn't have to wait 25 mins. after my reservation well researching any complaints about wait times. If management gets the seating issue corrected,and place up front who will stay up front and take command of the seating, keeping track of who comes in with reservations I think this would have been a overall better experience. However we will definitely try again.

However, during my last visit, I noticed something that didn't sit right with me, and I just wanted to make others aware. The restaurant automatically adds an 18% gratuity for parties of five or more, including small children in the party count. While I understand restaurants have policies, what bothered me was that it wasn't verbally mentioned or clearly pointed out during our visit, which makes it very easy to overlook. If you pay by card, the receipt they bring you already includes the gratuity in the total. However, the signature slip still suggests additional tip amounts at the bottom, which can easily lead people to accidentally double tip without realizing it. I'm sharing this simply so people can pay attention before signing. In today's economy, every extra dollar matters for families dining out. And while some people may say, "If you can't afford to tip, don't eat out," the reality is that restaurants rely on customers to stay in business too. Transparency goes a long way, and I think customers should be clearly informed when gratuity has already been included.

Instead, I'm paying premium prices to sit under fluorescent lights and question my life choices. The "Combo" Math that Isn't Mathing Then there's the pricing logic--or lack thereof. Why does a chicken and steak combo cost 20% more than the steak plate alone? * Standard Logic: A combo price should land somewhere between the cost of the chicken and the steak. * Kyoto Logic: "Since you want both, we're going to tax your indecisiveness." Either they have zero respect for their customers, or they're catastrophically bad at math. I'm betting on the latter. Honestly, I could buy a Blackstone grill for the cost of three or four visits to this place. The "Service" (If You Can Call It That) To top it off, the customer service is abysmal. The staff acts personally offended by your very existence. Even the older gentleman--who I assume is the owner--is the worst of the bunch. He radiates a vibe that says, "I hope you choke on that brown rice." Final Verdict: This is the last time they get a dime from me. I'm taking my business to my backyard.
