Food was good but waited almost an hour for our rolls after the tempura came. It wasn't exceptional busy inside but the to go orders took priority. The in person customers should come first. We had a little one who was getting antsy. read more

Delivery took nearly 2 hours. Whenever we order from here, it's seems to take forever for delivery.

This little hidden gem is worth going to visit. They do carry out and dine in with a sushi bar. They have great service and the food is amazing and very reasonably priced. Our first experience with them was in Valentine's Day. They were very busy and we ordered carry out. It took awhile (because of the day) but it was so well worth the wait. We have been back many times since. If you are in the area stop in. It's worth it! read more

We usually drive to Troy or Detroit for sushi but decided to try Sushi Lover out after passing it hundreds of times since moving to Clarkston. We ordered 8 rolls for carry out and were really pleased with the freshness and quality of the rolls. We will definitely be ordering again soon! We tried both raw and fully cooked and every roll was delicious, well rolled, with fresh tasty ingredients. The only criticism we had is we were given two small dip size containers with ginger and two small dollops of wasabi, next time I know to ask for extra. Really excited to have found a great sushi place closer to home, will be ordering again very soon! read more

Never been and was a little worried about a sushi place in a strip mall. Let me tell you, I was so impressed with the food, the service and the decor. This is now my favorite spot. Their faux crab is gluten free so I could eat so much more than a simple veggie roll. They have adult beverages, which is always a positive. Our server came over and brought us the bag with ingredients to make sure we were comfortable and felt safe eating there. That is above and beyond. Great spot!! read more

A few weeks ago I was able to finally try Sushi Lover in Clarkston, Michigan. I went at lunch time on a Friday so it was super fast service and not a lot of people were dining in yet. The food was very good. I ordered the Yum Yum sushi roll, which was absolutely amazing, and beef ramen that had a rich and tasty broth. Definitely both were winners. I'll be sure to visit again and try other things on their menu. @sushilover_clarkston #nofilter #metrodetroit #clarkstonmichigan #foodie #sushi #ramen read more

Had a carry out tray of various rolls at a friend's house for dinner, who lives nearby. Not sure what he paid but they put all the various rolls on one tray. Overall they were good, nothing was bad but nothing remarkable either. The size of the rolls though weren't huge, when looking at the diameter of them. If you are in the area and want some sushi, do give them a try. read more

Very expensive for what you get. Spent over $60 on the sushi menu (instead of the cheaper "combination" option) and it didn't come with soup and salad? Never seen that happen before. Pop tasted like it came out of a warm 2 liter. read more

I've been dining here since before the new owner. I am very pleased with the consistent quality in the food and the ambience. This has always a pleasurable experience when dining here. read more

Stopped here for Sushi and I'm so glad I did! Great selection, everything was very fresh and delicious. The host and staff were gracious and very kind. Great ambience as well! read more

Sushi (spicy California combo) was very good, but much smaller than expected. Service was prompt and the man working the counter was very kind and polite. The salad with ginger dressing was also very good. My only complaint would be the very small serving of miso soup. It had to have been about 1/4 cup in take out. Finished it literally in two sips. Also, only soy sauce and ginger were included in the take out. No wasabi! read more

Sushi Lover - Very small order of miso soup. - Japanese Near Me - Clarkston, Michigan

I am glad I ignored the negative reviews and tried Sushi Lover for myself. We loved it and will be going back, supporting our small, local, family owned businesses. Service was polite and speedy. The food and sushi was delicious and very fresh. I recommend ordering traditional/authentic sushi versus perhaps the cooked double fried American rolls. read more

I am glad we got to come here an try this place. I have passed it so many times over the years and always wondered if it was good. We came on a Monday night, and there were quite a few customers doing carry-out and dining in. I was happy to see a loyal following and a business doing well. They had a nice sized menu and offer more than just sushi. But since we were not all present from my household, I did not really order off the sushi menu. Not all of of us are fish lovers, but only sushi lovers were with me on this night. I tried their shrimp shumai. It was okay. I think I would try something else next time. It came with a honey mustard sauce. I am not sure that is traditional, the sauce seemed more like something for chicken nuggets. It was not bad, but I have had better. We ordered a lot of sushi. The tempura sushi was not as good as many other places, and for some reason they doused each roll in a lot of eel sauce instead of the typical drizzle. I was recommended a lobster roll. It was okay, but I think I would order something different next time. I am also having trouble with the sweet potato rolls lately, they are too al dente for me. I would rather have a soft potato. I also got a side of spicy mayo. It was very loose and watery, most restaurants make it fresh and it is thick. This seemed like the grocery store style sauce I buy myself. A bit disappointing. But the simple rolls tasted fresh and good. The scallop, spicy tuna and Phili rolls were great. I think if we come back, I would stick to basic rolls. I would also try some of the items from their dinner menu. So I am not opposed to coming back here and having dinner, it is a fun place, but there is a lot of competition out there for me to try as well. read more

My wife and I do take out every Friday Can't get enough of this place Leaves us wanting more everytime

Not impressed. I was told to wait 30+ minutes for my order to be ready. I would've been more understanding if the restaurant wasn't so slow. (The dining area was empty on a Tuesday night). I also didn't like how they squished the rolls together to fit into one box. Overall, Kroger has better tasting sushi and better presentation. read more

Sushi Lover - spicy roll combo. - Japanese Near Me - Clarkston, Michigan

This is the first time I visited since the name/ management change. It was okay but definitely not the same. The rice on the rolls was very sticky and seemed to fall apart rather quickly. The tempura vegetables seemed to be a bit crunch and overdone. But my kids didn't mind so I will come back if I am in the area. I can't wait to try dining in once again and will definitely update my review if and when necessary. read more

I've tried the ramen, sushi, udon and fried dumplings and everything turned out delicious! One of the best sushi restaurants in the area! I recommend the Oakland roll! read more

I used to come here with friends when it was Sushi Land, and the sushi was good, for strip mall sushi. Last night I visited and spent over $65 for meals for 2. We ordered 2 eel-cucumber rolls, an Oakland Roll, and the Sashimi Deluxe. The sashimi deluxe had 16 pieces of fish. 4 salmon, 4 tuna, 4 yellow tail, and 4 white fish. I was expecting more variety, but that's okay! The salmon, fell apart and I felt as though I could taste plastic. I typically love salmon. The tuna was a light pink, which, showed it's age a bit, to me. Working in a sushi restaurant previously, I could tell the tuna was very much not fresh. If it was, it is a bad batch. The white fish was the fishiest I've ever had. The yellow tail was good, I'll give props there. I didn't hear complaints about the Oakland Roll, but the eel-cucumber rolls were 100% cucumber. No eel. Is it, an "eel sauce-cucumber roll"? Presentation was mediocre, pick up time was accurate. Not worth the money. read more

New ownership and management is bad news, disappointed we lose the old sushi land :( Was told 15-20 minutes for takeout and took 45 minutes. Bathroom was filthy. Didn't have gluten free soy sauce any more. Told them of gluten allergy and need to replace imitation crab with shrimp and they put tempura (gluten) shrimp in the roll. read more

Typically, I never post on yelp, but I felt like this place needed to be advertised. We have been to sushi lover before and sat inside, and were so please with the service and the sushi! Tonight we went back for carry out and my boyfriend and I ordered the Volcano roll (which we get at every sushi place) and the Oakland roll. This establishment went above and beyond with their sushi and exponential service. If you're in between going to Sushi Lover and another place, pick this place. We will be back every time. read more

There is a dearth of good Sushi restaurants in this area, so we had to try Sushi Lover. It's a half hour from home, and it was definitely worth the drive. Everything about this place is 5 stars! The servers are all very attentive, and seem happy to see you when you enter. We ordered a bunch of different things, and they were all delicious. The food came out in a timely fashion, and there was nothing left to take home. This is our new Sushi place! read more

We were quite disappointed with this sushi restaurant. Inside was not clean, the service was slow, and the sushi was nothing special.

Fresh sushi and very friendly service. One day I need to dine in because I love how they decorated the restaurant.

Great place with great people. Food is good as well. I've been here multiple times even with the ownership change and like it. Never had an issue. read more

usually i go to sushi zen in brighton but i wanted to try something different. my fiancé and i got sat right away but no one came back to take our drink order or anything. we continued to sit there for another 20 minutes and still no one came so we got up and left. super disappointing service. also when we left no one even noticed because they were too busy doing something else. read more

I ordered take out while I was in this area. The place was kind of dirty but you could tell they were short staffed at the moment. Unfortunately, all of my rolls had overcooked rice. It was nothing but mush. When it comes to a sushi place you expect the rice to be up to par. The lobster roll still tasted good but just mush along with the other rolls I ordered. read more

Always excellent! Delicious, not overpriced, and they truly care about their customers.

Sushi land was one of my favorite Sushi place. I recently noticed that they changed name, so I decided to check what happened. I heard Sushi lover is under new management. I was thankful that they still have my all time favorite waterford roll and crunch burrito roll. Food was fresh and tasty, and service was great. I found they have some new additions to menu like Udon and Donkatsu. I haven't tried it yet, but will do soon. read more

They are so awesome. I have a soy allergy and they're so amazing and accommodating. Would recommend to anyone in the area.

I've been to Sushi Lover restaurant recently at Mid December that realized new owner just took over it. Really kind & professional management on board and noticed that previous owner was trying to help new owner for smooth transition. It's very impressive! I ordered big combo B with a couple of noodles which were very delicious and sushi combo provided with a various sushi rolls in a big wood boat, then served sliced fresh law fishes as well. One thing I was a little disappointed was as I am alcohol lover that this restaurant doesn't have a liquor license yet, but they are in the process of getting it at mid Jan. 2020. I will definitely visit again with my family and friend. read more

It is a hidden gem!! Wife and I got burrito roll awesome, jalapeno popper also awesome and unique, and tried and true Cali roll ...very fresh veggies and light on the pallet. I love finding the small mom and pop spots that serve the best foods!! Kazu's down in Florida would probably be the only other one that ranks well with me like place does. Hats off to the Chef! read more

Well the new restaurant isn't as good as the old one. I ordered a couple of rolls, a bulgogi fried rice, chicken karage and a shrimp tempura for take out. It was 15 mins late and I had to wait. My "fried rice" was mush and we didn't get the shrimp tempura. Found this all out when I got home. Looks like I am finding a new sushi place to go to. read more

Absolutely LOVE this place would give like a 10/5 stars if I could lol. It's always so nice to go to it's never busy(which makes me sad it's so good!) sushi is AMAZING, fried rice AMAZING, ramen AMAZING, staff AMAZING! I just love it the waiters are always so sweet to me when I go they always try to make my experience 100% so I definitely recommend this little hidden gem! (If you don't like raw that's ok! I don't eat raw but the cooked and fried rolls are AMAZING!!!!!) read more

We spent a such a great time in this place. Every food we ordered was so great. Service is friendly and fast in welcoming, clean environment. Also new owner is so kind. I love this place and we will be back shortly. read more

I used to always come to this location when I worked in Waterford, that is when it was Sushi Land. I'm not sure what happened, but this is for sure not under the same management. We had ordered online which said it would take 45 minutes. We then waited to leave and showed on time for our order pick up. My friend went in to pick up and pay while I stayed in the car. It had been a bit since she was back, but I figured there were a couple people in front of us, no biggy. As more time passed I started getting worried and was about to go into the restaurant. My friend had walked out after about an hour of waiting. She had said they were taking care of people after us that were just walk ins apparently. We were already irritated at that, but we went home to eat. When I opened the boxes I was even more disappointed. The sushi rolls were tiny for the price I payed. This was our faults, but apparently we didn't check that the spicy California roll in the California pack had hot sauce on it. Who puts hot sauce on sushi? I've seen it IN the sushi roll, but not just directly on top along with a slab of spicy mayo. The wasabi (also not real wasabi) and ginger were put in plastic containers that were in a ziplock baggy. These rolls were the equivalent of grocery store sushi, and I'm not knocking grocery store sushi at all. In fact, that's an insult to grocery store sushi. And in light of all of this, I now think I have food poisoning! (: read more

This is my new favorite sushi spot! My fave are the Dragon Roll and Snow Princess! They are always kind and fast getting food prepared.

The sushi rolls tasted good but were very small. Purchased a total of 6 rolls (4 specialty rolls)to-go thinking it would be enough for 3 people and I was wrong. Smallest rainbow roll I have ever had. I was impressed the chef could slice fish that thin. It was smaller than my spicy tuna roll. Mt. Osaka was a unique roll. Tasted great but was very hard to eat without falling apart. Dynamite was smaller than expected but tasted good. $58 worth of food and I was still hungry. read more

It was absolutely fantastic!! We love the new management. The owner is very nice and accommodating. Their Udon Noodle is a top notch and the Pork Cutlet was super delicious!!! You won't be disappointed! read more
