I Love Sushi Restaurant

The restaurant is terrible in service, ignoring you even if you wave your hand in front of the server.\r \r Food is also expensive with just so so quality. more

These guys always give me great sushi, and great service, thanks! more

There were a few problems that night, but our server apologized, explained, and made everything work. A bit understaffed, but it never affected quality. Service speed was still acceptable. The servers do a great job of working together. Great teamwork. The food was fantastic! The sushi chefs are all friendly guys, and funny too. The prices are great. Plates on the track are about average prices, compared to the other popular places nearby. The menu has many options, but dont let the price scare you away. You get the right amount of food, and they use real crab in the menu rolls, not the imitation stuff they use on the track, Pros: Cheap and filling, friendly and funny Cons: Need more wait staff more

This is not a review of the supposed food that is served by this establishment. This is a review of the way I was treated last Saturday night. I had a legitimate gift certificate, bought with airline miles, and decided to trek to the burbs with three of my friends to dine at I Love Sushi. Called on the way there, they said they had no wait. Asked if we could use our gift certificate, they said yes. When we showed up, the place was about half full. I have worked at enough restaurants at that price point to know that four adults should equal about a $100 check with a $20 tip. We were seated promptly, and immediately on the front page of the menu was a cheaply made paper insert that said ""sorry no coupons on Friday and Saturday nights"". Before we ordered, I asked again if our gift certificate would be valid. The server said ""no, sorry, no coupons"". So I clarified, it was not a coupon, we were not getting a discount, the establishment was not losing any money. They were still even guaranteed a full tip on top of the total price of the bill. I may have even been able to understand if there was a wait, but there was not. We ended up leaving, not because of the service, but because of the absence of it. To an establishment not willing to accommodate four adult patrons, shame on you, and shame on your business practices. It's too bad I will never go there again, and recommend that my friends do not go there, I heard your food was actually pretty good. Pros: Can buy gift certificates with airplane miles Cons: Not allowed to use them to dine more

The food is ok that is why I say it is mediocre. My family will only eat there if we have some kind of coupon. As a matter of fact be careful with this place they keep changing to rules on use of coupons, thus sometimes they do not honor them. Therefore, we now show them our coupon before ordering, one time we had to leave their restaurant because they would not honor the coupon on a Friday night (the coupon did not exclude Fri/Sat). The parking is terrible, especially on Fri/Sat nights. Lastly, every time we go in we wait awhile to be seated, then even longer to get served. Why do we still go once in awhile? Because of the large discounted coupons we have found, otherwise I would never again step in to this nightmare. Pros: Really to Pros Cons: Slow/poor service, mediocre food and terriable parking more

My girlfriend and I arrived 7:30pm on a Saturday night and were seated promptly. However, once we received our water it took 15 minutes just to place our order. I would understand if the place was packed, however it was only half full. After placing our order it took an additional 25 minutes to get our food. I found this unacceptable considering there were only 2 of us and we only ordered a few pieces of nigiri and 2 rolls. In addition, the tuna nigiri was somewhat fishy and very small. The combination of bad fish and terrible service was disappointing. Pros: Great place to kill time Cons: Long wait more

It's an ok place for BASIC sushi, I could be wrong but there is no Nihonjin's (real Japanese) folks in the entire chef or waiter crew. Just a tad under average and cheap as usual. They have no understanding of goysa (potstickers) rice or miso soup. My guess is that it is another fake copy of a real Japanese sushi bar by another Asian family. Yes Asians, we Americans can tell you apart by your terrible attemps at copying real Japanese food more

Living so close to I Love Sushi and driving by it often, it never occurred to my husband and I that a sushi place in Beaverton, located in a strip mall, with a hokey name for a restaurant would be worthwhile. So we would patronize other more popular sushi restaurants downtown and on ""trendy-third"" in Portland. But t his time we were being treated to dinner by friends and I Love Sushi was the restaurant they chose. My husband and I were so impressed by the food. The rolls I had were delicious and the nigiri my husband had was fresh and yummy. I am so excited that we now have a sushi destination in our own neighborhood! We'll be back! Pros: Great food, close by more

This place used to be the one place I would go for sushi in Beaverton; back when it had bare bulbs for lighting and neo-junkical decor. Hakatamon came along, and I was happy to bounce between the two places (especially for Hakatamon's soba noodle soup). Back then, at I.L.S., the twin brothers/owners held down the fort and the food was good. They have recently undergone a re-vamping that includes fresh paint, cohesive decor, new lighting, increased prices, and new cooks. Visually, the place looks much better, but the food has declined and the prices have increased. I ate there last night with my family, and unfortunately it will be our last time there :-''( . The nigiri fish portions are much smaller. The tako was sliced about 1mm thin, this is laughable given the price increase. The maguro and sake are also much smaller than before. The uni was fresh, so that was a plus. A large Sapporo is now $7.50 if I recall, which is ridiculous. The spicy seafood udon soup was not good. The soup base was very bland. It lacked any kimchi heat or flavor, and had no bonito/kombu flavor. The seafood consisted of poor quality, frozen baby octopi and scallop pieces, 3 small clams, and one piece of oyster meat. But the coup de grace of our final supper at I.L.S. were their new ""special rolls"". Here is an example of caveat emptor: The new ""Mr. Obama"" (which should actually be named the ""President Obama"" now) and the lobster (claw) roll, are priced at $15 & $18 apiece! (yes, I should have asked the price first). Not only are they WAY overpriced, but the quality of the lobster was hypo-sub-par. It was watery, tasteless, and mushy. We did not finish either of the not-so-special rolls. Unfortunately, I can no longer recommend I.L.S., which is a shame because they used to be good. Sadly, Hakatamon is now the only sushi restaurant I have to recommend in Beaverton. Pros: Updated decor. Cons: Overpriced, meager portions, poor quality. more

There are three different waitresses working night shift. You don't want to order any foods from an old blonde woman because she is the one who gets all the negative feedbacks here. There is this one short girl(don't know what her name is); who is the youngest ,cutiest, quickest, and most friendly waitress here. Make sure order from this girl to avoid dissatisfaction of service. Everything else was just fine for me except for the rudeness of old blonde lady. Pros: cute young watress Cons: old blonde woman more

Most horriable places I've ever been too. Very bad service with rude attitude. We had only 5 people and they put 20% tip on the bill automatically. Frankly speaking the service is not worth a penny of the tip. But we didn't bother questioning and just leave cash there like 1 dollar less than their bill. \r \r Guess what happened!!!! the waitress followed our car and hang over our window to ask for that 1 buck!!!! Please do not go to this place for your own sake. Pros: nothing Cons: bad service more

I am new to Portland, moved here from Colorado and was very excited about eating fresh sushi. This place had lots of rave reviews so we went there. I've had much better sushi in land-locked Denver. The sushi was very fishy, smell and taste. It was a cold night and they kept opening the side door and leaving it open, burr. I think the good reviews for this place are put in by the owner because there is no way people think it is that great! Cons: food, service, food again more

We live in Camas,WA and drive over to I love sushi. It has good service, good food and I highly recommend it. more

Really good place to have tasty and creative sushi. It's very informal and very friendly customer service more

We had lunch there today and it was one of the worst experiences I have ever had. We both ordered Bento boxes which comes with 3 pieces of nigiri, miso soup, cucumber salad, california roll and 4 pieces of spicy tuna roll. First of all, it took forever before our order was taken. Even though bento box came with miso soup, we decided to order two extra soups so we can have one while we wait and the other with the rest of the meal. But we were served with 4 bowls of miso all at once. Then it was another 25 minutes before bento boxes came out. Three nigiri pieces were 1 salmon, 1 tuna, 1 cooked shrimp. I've never seen cooked shrimp served as part of nigiri in bento boxes. We asked waitress to substitute my BF's shrimp for another nigiri because he was allergic to shrimp and she said no and suggested that we exchange his shrimp for something off my plate (never experienced that before -- server suggesting how to fix situation when the fix should be obvious -- they substitute the item). When we asked for the bill, she made sure to check his plate to see if he actually ate the shrimp and made a comment that it was gone (none of her business, but I ate it). After lunch both of us had horrible stomach ache (but we didn't complain about anything before the food came out so it must be the quality of food). I must say that salmon piece tasted good and miso soup was good. California roll was worse than you can buy in pre-made boxes in grocery store. So was spicy tuna. Both didn't have good flavor and fell apart. I would not go back there again and I wouldn't recommend it to others. Very slow service, strange service and the food quality is not there. The only good thing is salmon but if that is all you are going to eat, you might as well just get it in Uwajimaya. We used to enjoy a quick meal in Sushiland but their quality has degraded so we are looking for a new place. However, comparing Sushiland to this place, I would choose Sushiland anytime. more

I had a bad experience eating at this place... my girlfriend and I ordered the sushi Bento, it comes with 3 nigiri pieces, california roll and spicy tuna roll, cucumbers & Miso. One of the Nigiri piece is boiled shrimp!!! Can you imagine that!!!! Anyways, we ate it and after that, both of us had stomach problems, MAJOR STOMACH PROBLEMS. Will NEVER go BACK!!!!! Don't go there unless you want to spend the next 30 minutes in the bathroom!@!! Pros: NOTHING other than flushing out your system. Cons: wastes lots of toilet flushes & toilet paper more

I went here for my very first sushi experience. It was wonderful and my boyfriend and I have returned many times since! The prices are reasonable for the size portions you get and the fish always tasted fresh. The folks that run the restaraunt are very friendly, but not terribly quick with service, which never bothered us since we enjoy the charming atmosphere and are never in a hurry to leave.\r \r I highly reccomend this restaraunt to anyone who enjoys sushi and even those who don't as they have a pretty good selection of alternatives for those unsure of the sushi scene. Pros: Great value on food, especially sushi. Wide selection on the menu. Nice casual atmosphere. Cons: Service is a bit slow, but always friendly. Small restaraunt not romantic when loud children are present. more

They definetely need to work on their customer service. The waitress made a mistake in our bill and denied to change it even after we pointed out her mistake. Too bad my husband already paid the full wrong amount before we caught the mistake and came back to point it out. She didn't even apologize!! Cons: bad service, cold food more

I've been going to I Love Sushi for about two years now. It's never been my favorite sushi spot but it's really close to my house, affordable, friendly, etc. The O toro situation has gone completely south in the last 6 months though, to the point that I either won't go there anymore, or just will not order their o toro.\r \r I've ordered o toro 4 times recently, and each time it's been ice cold, tough, stringy, chewy and basically inedible. O toro should be the opposite of all of those! The first time it happened, we mentioned it to the chef who nicely comped us another order; unfortunately was as bad as the first. Because of my history with the place and my love of o toro, I kept giving it a shot, hoping it was just a fluke. After 4 times though, I think it's a trend. My theory: I suspect they are buying o toro and keeping it in the freezer for long periods, since they've always had o toro when I've been lately and it always is served near frozen.\r \r I'd much rather have fresher, unfrozen o toro available intermittently depending on the market than this frozen stuff. I understand fish is frozen as part of its processing, but it shouldn't be served this way.\r \r The other nigiri and maki items are tasty and reliable. I haven't tried the non-sushi menu items. Pros: Friendly, good variety Cons: Terrible o toro more

I tried I love sushi when I first moved to the neighborhood from California and I wanted to go back to Cali for good sushi!!\r It's fast food sushi...cheap but same quality as Mc Donald meat! I found so much unchewable fat in the tuna to be grossed out and we couldn't even finish it! Go to Masu or Portland city grill or isakaya in Hillsboro...expensive yes, but worth it! Pros: sushi,ambience Cons: parking more
