We just returned from Japan a few weeks ago and visited the “dear sushi” concept at love, makoto to celebrate Valentine’s Day and I must say I was blown away with everything from start to finish. First upon entering through the hallway seeing the red columns immediately made me think of Fushimi inari. Our server, Alexis, took it from there, she was absolutely fantastic.

Love Mokato Is an amazing restaurant with the best sushi I’ve ever had . The service was outstanding our waiter was attentive the entire time and make sure we were taken care of. Abu gave us incredible service; she was so kind, freindly, and truly make our experience special. Hands down the best service and an unforgettable meal. Highly recomended.

The food was really good, fresh, and great quality.
But they forgot the sauces, which are a big part of the flavor. It was my first time there, so I didn’t know they were supposed to come with the dish, and they only realized at the end after we were done eating.
They also added the tip automatically, which I didn’t like.
Overall, good food, but the experience could’ve been better with more attention to detail.
