Food was not bad but not memorable. Service was very slow (they were busy). I'd probably not return and eat some place else near by

Sushi is not good. I’m a connoisseur who has lived in Japan and the fish is sliced thinly and tastes odd (tastes kind of dry? maybe it’s been sitting out?). Rice is creamy in a bad way, it’s not supposed to be creamy. Also they got my order wrong - they forgot to leave out the tempura flakes. Service was fast but I can’t recommend… I have no clue why other people would think the sushi is good like LOOK AT THE AMOUNT OF FISH HERE…

I enjoyed an early dinner this visit; there was no wait for seating and everything ordered arrived at the table with good pacing. They have a wide variety of options on their menu and I look forward to trying something else next time.

I always rave to everyone I know that Sushi Love is my favorite sushi restaurant in Durham. The sushi is awesome, the prices are honest, the drinks and saki selections a great, and the variety and I trigue of their offers in the sushi menu are above par--they have everything from traditional style, delectable sushi to fun and intriguing and fun new styles to try + a wholeeee menu of awesome Asian appetizers and dishes that fit every guest dietary preference/need/desire. Though we normally go there for the sushi ? I also love many of their non-sushi dishes and apps as well. The place is always packed and busy, a good sign and testament of killer yummy food. I have non-jokingly asked the staff and manager many times to please please please open a new location in North Durham so I can come eat more often ?☺️.I worked in restaurants my whole life until I graduated college, it is very hard work to work in and/or run a restaurant, to wait tables, to be a food runner and busser, dishwasher, and to be a bartender, which is what I did from age 21-32. I loved the work, even though I know and remember it is very hard work. It is often underappreciated--the labor itself but also the skills you acquire and master in this industry. Our waitress on our recent visit was great--super attentive, friendly, personable, and helpful. Overall we experienced (and always do here) great** service. She was awesome and when we mentioned how kind the manager was to us during our dining she said 'yes she is such an amazing boss and person, I love working here!' and I have to say, I worked in restaurants up and down the East Coast as well as in Italy..... and I can only say I had that feeling at only two restaurants I ever worked at....out of like 15 places at least over the years. I had two restaurant jobs where I knew my boss and/or the owner was a good person who cared about the work and the guests and who cared for the employees. It is a rarity in our world: having a restaurant with great food, great staff, *andddd* an amazingly good person running/owning the restaurant. A super rare thing. I really really respect that ?? and am grateful we met Jane during our recent visit and to find out that the owner and manager of one of our favorite spots that we have been patrons of for a couple years now is like that: a good person, who *cares*, it really makes the food and drinks taste that much better, sincerely .We will continue to be patrons and keep hoping ? that one day more Sushi Love locations nearer to North Durham will open up, but either way we will keep loving Sushi Love ? ??
Great sushi, love the BOGO deal! That's what keeps me coming back.

Toooooo much vinegar in rise. We ordered two times, first one was ok. Today is second and last one. Would not recommend to order from here. Food quality is absolutely

I bought sushi to take away and inside it there was a hair, I no longer had the confidence to continue eating, it was a waste of money. I hope they take better hygiene measures when preparing food and what happened to me doesn't happen to more people.

I built all the curved walls and soffits at this restaurant, first time I went back to see it after completing. 15 ,,+ years
I wish I was being dramatic but the eel taste like cleaning supplies and my tongue is still tingling after spitting it out.

We love this place, they have great sushi (rolls are 2 for the price of one), excellent entrees (tilapia in spicy brown sauce is a must) and they even make excellent Pad Thai (my daughter's favorite dish).

Nothing special. Salmon on the nigiri is paper thin with way too much rice. Most things have too much rice. I'd rather have proper fish to rice ratio that buy one get one nonsense. Won't return but was a perfectly acceptable meal.
