There was an empty booth and we asked to be seated in one but the male employee refused to accommodate us and was unfriendly. No staff came to our table at any time to greet us or offer us water or drinks. We were ignored by the staff like we were an inconvenience to them and left without ordering. I strongly recommend diners avoid Love Boat Sushi (unless they don't mind being treated like shit by the staff) because there's nothing at all to love about nonexistent customer service, unwelcoming atmosphere and lack of hospitality!

Had a really fantastic dinner here. We had:…read more the mixed tempura, which had a piece of broccoli which is my favorite. The sauce was great; a bit more vinegar really made it pop compared to the usual sweet one-note sauce you get at most places. The escolar nigiri. Very fresh and tasty! A yellowtail roll. Again, very clean taste. The nigiri sampler, which had shrimp, salmon, yellowtail, albacore, mackerel, tuna, and snapper. Again, tasty, fresh, well made Overall the nigiri were smaller than most places I've been to recently, but well made and well-priced. With a couple large sapporos the wife and I were very happy. It also looks like they have a solid happy hour Tues-Fri 2-5pm. The service was very pleasant. We were there early, so the sushi chef was also our server. He was very nice and we all enjoyed a bit of the World Cup on tv. The restaurant is small: 4 tables and 5 seats at the sushi bar; however, the decor is very cool. I especially liked the huge murals on the walls. Overall 10/10 experience and we will be back!

It can sometimes be busy but I come here on a weekday dinner and it's pretty open with no wait. When it comes to food, they got a lot of different varieties of sushi, udon, bowl, and more. All the food is pretty good and has a good ambiance with TV showing around, seeing the chef make sushi, and not too loud. I usually get their sushi and udon there along with other appetizers and they are really good. They also do well with takeout or as leftovers so you could always order as much as you want. Overall, a good place to eat at if you want some good sushi and want to have some good vibes!

I'm so glad we decided to give it a try. We have several anime fans in our household, so it was exciting to recognize all the characters displayed throughout the restaurant. The kids loved them too! We were greeted immediately when we walked in, and every staff member was incredibly kind and attentive. After ordering at the counter, we took our number and found a slightly wonky--but charming and sturdy--solid-wood table. Different movies were playing on the TVs, which kept the kids entertained while we waited for our food. We ordered sushi and ramen, and my ramen was exquisite. I believe it was called the Dark Knight, and it was absolutely delicious. I was also pleasantly surprised to see Orion beer on draft. Having lived in Okinawa, where the brewery is based, it was wonderfully nostalgic and added another layer of authenticity to the experience. Everything about our visit was wonderful, and we'll definitely be dining here again. They also advertise special events inside the restaurant. I don't remember the details, but I'll be sure to check them out during our next visit!

We also ordered the Kyoto Mule, but the ice was already watered down and the drink came without a straw. Ginger, wasabi, and soy sauce had to be requested, which felt odd for a sushi restaurant. The saba wasn't for me personally, although it did seem properly prepared. The cut rolls were also sliced into such massive pieces that they were genuinely difficult to eat in one bite. I do want to give credit to our server, Liam. He was nice and I appreciated him, but I do think he could have been a little more involved in guiding the experience, especially with a menu like this where some of the items may need a bit more explanation. On top of everything, the restaurant was extremely warm and the air conditioning seemed basically nonexistent. There are some good ideas here, but the overall experience lacked attention to detail. For the price point, I expected much better. They could definitely do better.

It's hard to put my finger on it, but something about the sushi here (especially when paired with a little bit of soy sauce) just had an excellent taste that I'm not sure I've had anywhere else. I really liked the "Ninja & Samurai" roll which is pretty simple, but another family member liked the Aloha roll (which is fried). That being said there are a LOT of options, and the basic California Rolls are quite inexpensive.

My first visit I tried their Sky Sushi, and for today's visit I went with their Red Dragon Roll. My favorite is the appetizer soup that comes with your orders. Never been big on tofu, but however they make that soup really pleases my taste buds. Truly wish they had a chefs kiss emoji, because thats how good this place is. I'm all about quality and freshness and Sky Sushi delivers that. To finish off both visits of course I had to get dessert. I've tried both their matcha and coffee macaron ice cream mini sandwich thing. Dude, if I had a whole box I'd be going to town. I've had the pleasure of seeing the owner there, working hard and having a smile on her face. You can tell she truly loves her space and the food she provides. You can even see her in the video here coming around the corner with a smile. The other employees there are also very friendly, polite and quick with their service. The decor there is also super cute, I find myself looking at different subtle pieces, and (totally random) the wall colors are easy on the eyes. It almost feels relaxing in there. Highly recommend Sky Sushi!!

This restaurant seriously needs to take better food handing of their fish. I used to come here often a few years back but I will not be returning in fear of getting food poisoning

The unassuming exterior and simple but elegant interior greeted us with low lighting and quiet atmosphere. We sat at a table of 6 and immediately knew we were in for a treat. We all had the 10 course meal and although I can't do justice to describing each item- let's just say every bite is a treat for the tastebuds. You could do substitutions and add ons. I added wagyu for additional 55$ but I'm sure the duck would of been just as good. The pork too surprised me as my family raised pigs as a kid and I don't usually eat but the pork dish- with pigs that were raised with special diet and spa-like treatment/ well... the stories added to the dish. Things like pine were unexpected delights. The drinks were all amazing and we tried mixed drinks, sake, and something I rarely see and is worth noting- great mocktails. The service was outstanding and everyone was friendly, polite, knew their job, and quietly was there between each course with fresh silverware. All was completed with a sense of effortlessness. My daughter mentioned to her dad she was waiting on a drink and the manager heard and without hesitation said it was on the way/ and on the house. We chuckled as the bill of course was more than we had ever spent on a single meal, but enjoyed every minute. What struck me about ambiance is we felt as if we were the only ones there although I saw several tables on other side of restaurant. In addition although 6 of us in a circle - we were able to converse with each other with ease. Come with an open mind and be prepared for the best meal you may ever have. Pricey but worth it if you want to create a memory sure to please.

3.5 stars We came here because they're closing at the end of…read morethe month. So, Yes it was a bit pricy but i wanted to try it before it closed. Made reservations online for the tasting menu $225. The place is in the middle of nowhere, from the outside you'd never guess it was fine dining. We started off with a trio of little bites, a tile fish gungakn roll, fried mochi threads, and an acorn cracker filled with camembert cheese. The raw tile fish gunkan was ok, the mochi threads were nice and crunchy, the camembert cheese was too pungent for me. Hamachi/Raspberry - slices of Yellow tail and raspberry in a ponzu sauce. The ponzu stood out most and gave it a salty profile i couldn't really distinguish between the hamachi and the raspberry as the textures were similar. Artichoke Kohlrabi gyoza with a bri sauce. This dish was very good though i thought it was more like ravioli than gyoza. It even looked like ravioli. I think they just called it gyoza to make it fit the Japanese theme. Shrimp tempura was delicious! it was lightly battered and fried and put in a shallow bowl of shrimp broth. They said it came with dynamite sauce but i think it was just kewpie mayo. Very good and one of my favorites of the evening. Chicken wing stuffed with scallop, part of the wing was deboned and stuffed with a Hokkaido scallop. It was very tasty, the scallop was very sweet and tender. I wish the skin of the chicken wing was crispier. It was quite charred but did not crack when bitten into it and a little rubbery. Tile fish had a very crispy skin and came with a beautiful sauce of i think apples and apricots and a walnut butter. I really liked the sauce that was spooned on the plate. another one of my favorites of the evening. Duck done 2 ways; roasted and a fried tsukune meatball. They both came in a light carrot sauce. The fat on the roasted piece was nicely rendered and the duck meat very tender. The tsukune was nicely fried and crispy and still rare inside. The palate cleanser was a pine ice cream with Aloe Jelly, The pine ice cream was quite refreshing and smooth i thought the aloe jelly was a bit strong tasting. I think flavor came from the geranium but something had a strong taste to it. The dessert was also one of my favorites White chocolate with hokkaido milk powder on top of miso ice cream and slices of tangerine. It was supposed to be reminiscent of a creamsicle. The Hokkaido milk power was magic on the shards of white chocolate, the miso ice cream was very smooth and dense and when eaten together with the pieces of manderin orange did remind me of a creamsicle. They gave us a trio of finishing dishes a trio of bites; Castella cake, Kokuto jelly and raspberry mochi. The castella cake didn't really stand out, it wasn't the sweet dense cake that im used to. The kokuto jelly had that deep brown sugar taste but was too stiff in my opinion. The raspberry mochi had a strong raspberry flavor which i loved and had a good chew to it. Service was exceptional, water was filled many times almost every time the water glass went down 1/4 it was filled to the top. Each course was preceded with the proper utensiles and were cleared after each dish. i must have had at least 4 forks and 4 spoons. Definilty 5 star (Michilin style) service. Food was very good maybe 4 stars. Value was ok maybe 3 stars. If you divided the courses by the price it came to $25 per course. If you looked at the ala cart menu, many of the items were there and could be had for less than $25, of course not all the dishes on the tasting menu were available ala cart. But i feel if you sat at the bar and ordered a cocktail and maybe 5-6 dishes you't still pay a hefty price but it would be much less than $225. I feel like thats the way to go instead of the tasting menu. Come here if you want exceptional service.
