“This little dimly lit, quiet spot is a gem. While the food is fantastic, the service is even better. We were so impressed. The menu is also really unique and something I don’t really see in Columbia. For example, we had an appetizer of beef femur bone marrow on waffles with jam. So good! Also, the cocktails are great. Try the Oaxacan Old Fashioned!“

“What a wonderful find. I stumbled on this bar in the lower level of The Tiger hotel. It has an upscale speakeasy feel, but with no password or invitation required. The cocktails were great and the bartenders were up to the challenge of making unique drinks. Can not wait to visit again.“

“Chanced to eat here as a pleasant day and they had outside seating. Their caldo pollo (chicken soup) was excellent. Caldo Pollo is a sentinel dish. If a place has good caldo pollo, carnitas, and tamale it's pretty certain everything else will be good. Also had a very good torta cubano. The extra spicy salsa (you have to request) was superb. Love the staff.“

On nice days they open the whole front of the place and it's got a great atmosphere and vibe. Even better when there's live music. Great spot if you want some beer.“

What’s not to love. Also-they don’t serve food so we can bring in our el rancho from across the street or Jimmy John’s from next door.“

“My husband and I brought our 4 kids here to Love Sushi for the 1st time tonight. We had to wait just a little bit, but not long maybe 5-10 minutes.
(No loud music or k-pop that most reviewers co.plaimed about. I hear people talking nothing else 😆)
Then we were seated and received our drinks right after ordering them. (I mentioned this because I saw a review complaint they had to wait a long time for their drinks.
I ordered the hot babe roll but had them add cream cheese. It was so delicious. My husband ordered the bolgolgi, which he loved, but I was not as much a big fan. I loved my sushi more. He did wish he had a larger plate to put everything together.
Our younger son (11) ordered the chicken nugget kids meal with fries. He said they were the best chicken nuggets hes ever had. (They were very good, and the fries seemed homemade, which is great!) Our oldest daughter (8) ordered the Mexican roll and the eel roll. She loved both and especially loved the eel roll. Our oldest son (12) ordered yaki noodles plus he shared some of his sisters sushi and my husband's meal. He loved everything. He was raving about this is 10/10 food it's the best place he's ever eaten at. Our youngest (5) shared with her oldest brother.
Thank you for an amazing experience. 🥰 we will be back.“
