An inexpensive gem in an otherwise expensive mine.

The menu is beyond intimidating, as their are nearly 100 plus rolls for you to choose from. I sat staring bleakly and relegated my dinner order to throwing darts, hoping that in the end my buyer's remorse wouldn't kick in. The plain spicy tuna was "so-so"; the Washington role was packed full of fresh, melt-in-your-mouth salmon and the Sun Devil role nearly made me change my underwear. Personally, one of the most delicious rolls I've had anywhere.

Service is very quick and non obtrusive. Seating was immediate on a Sunday evening and the restaurant was clean. The most obvious thing I noticed was the sheer volume of sushi chefs (nearly 10) pumping out quick, quality plates at a moment's notice. Overall, a pretty outstanding place. Price was decent (about $40 for 3 rolls) and there were no specials.

I dig the name of the restaurant, because I myself L-O-V-E sushi literally.

The service is terrific here. Every time I come here, they always greet customers as you enter. Staff is friendly, fast, and efficient. And I've always sat at the sushi bar - I like to be up close and personal with the sushi chef and see what they're doing.

The sushi is great. They offer a variety of special roll's. However, I ordered screaming orgasm and wooow... the seared tuna was fresh with there tasty sauce, and not chewy.  

To top it off, an order of Nigori sake makes it all worth while. It compliments the sushi and seared tuna all together.

love this place... best little sushi restaurant in LV... prices are good, chefs are great. they give you edamame, and a cucumber appetizer free which is always a plus. i hate penny pinching restaurants!

despite that this place is korean owned and mostly korean chefs, I DONT DISCRIMINATE GOOD ASS SUSHI!!!! fun environment... my fav chef is edwin... he will make special rolls depending on your taste or preference.

when you get to the menu its a little overwhelming. there is like 100 rolls on their sushi menu!

first off...
THE UNI IS FRESHHHHHHHH! yellow, fluffy and sweet.

my bf really likes the "i love my ass roll". it is super white tuna and spicy tuna,soft shell crab with a special brown sauce... i think it is sesame w/ a hint of mustard seed.

super good... i also get the rolley rice bowl with uni and scallop.
this is a masago rice bowl mixed with scallop and topped off with some fresh uni. its like a very fancy chirashi bowl.

i also really like the kanpai roll. it is a yellowtail roll, w/ shrimp tempura, avocado and a ponzu sauce. its raw and yummy.

i love this place. i frequent here at least once a week. highly recommended to others!

One thing I come to realize as I spend more time in Vegas, the people there have little taste and are lacking in knowledge when it comes to good food. Sure, the strip boasts some amazing restaurants, but that's for all the tourists who visit and won't settle for sub-par Vegas dining. That being said, I love Sushi is about as meh as it gets. Sure the fish isn't terrible, but it's not super fresh, and not the best cuts. Service is good, but average sushi does not earn more than two stars.

I Love Sushi is OK.  Not bad, but really just ok.  I've had so many people tell me its so good and...eh.  I was totally underwhelmed when I went.  It's definitely a cute place, and their menu is huge.  But the menu items aren't that different from each other.  I found myself flipping the menu over a bunch to see what the difference between a couple rolls were.

I think it would be good if you are going with a large group and you're more concerned with having fun than eating awesome sushi.

I've been here several times over the past year and they never let me down.  This is some of the best sushi I've had and I've been told by locals that this is the best in town.  Service is excellent. They have a few TVs with the games on them.  The grilled shishito peppers make nice accompaniment.  Definitely some of the best tuna poke I've ever had (get it spicy!!).  Great job!!

***Korean-owned*** (you wouldn't get mexican food made by chinese people would you?) I came here because my roommate used to live in Henderson and recommended it...The food wasn't bad, not the best sushi rolls I've ever had. I had the Screaming Orgasm, Tastes like my ex-girlfriend, and several other rolls which weren't as memorable. The shishito peppers were a total ripoff, i've had way better and fresher ones made at other Japanese restaurants.

The service was terrible. Our sushi-chef Ray (i think that was his name), was very accommodating, but the servers were all very impolite and sometimes rude. It took my girlfriend three times to get an order of the shishito peppers and when the waitress forgot she gave us a disgusted look. The waitress also knocked over our chopsticks onto the sushi bar on multiple occasions and didn't even bother giving us a new set, she just put them back on our plates.

Pricewise the place is decent. For the three of us (two guys, one girl), the check was approximately $70 including tip and we left decently stuffed. Would I come back? Probably not unless a friend suggested it.

It's a party in your mouth.

I LOVELOVELOVELOVE THIS PLACE!!!!!!!! This is the best sushi I've ever had in my life. Everything about I Love Sushi is amazing, the sushi, miso soup, the restaurant, the menu, the sexual/hilarious names they think up for the sushi rolls (Tastes Like My Ex-Girlfriend, Screaming Orgasm, I Love My Ass, etc..), the waitresses, the chefs, the bar, the booths, the tables, the service, the prices, everything! I dream about their sushi and plum saki everyday. The softness of the rice, the way they pack in the many versatile ingredients that go into each roll, how at first bite you just sit back and realize that you've been missing out on a big chunk of life in food world. Mmm.. I can still taste it in my mouth.

The restaurant is lit just right to be romantic and bright enough to see what you're eating, who you're talking to, and occasionally check out the hot chef with the Japanese flag as a bandana behind the sushi bar (i love you, super sexy chef). The service is phenomenal, everyone working there is Japanese, even the waitresses, and I had to keep from laughing when our graceful, polite waitress who looks like she's never said a cuss word in her life repeated our order to us, "2 Screaming Orgasms, One roll of Tastes Like My Ex Girlfriend, one Ricky Roll and one roll of I Love My Ass with plum saki". It still makes me laugh just thinking about it.

I once drove from L.A. to Henderson, Nevada just to eat here. My absolute favorite roll is the Ricky Roll. I give this restaurant a bajillion stars, this place will definitely get you some, and I'm gonna dream about their sashimi tonight.

I LOVE SUSHI SAYS IT ALL!!!
I currently live in DC, but used to reside in Las Vegas, and fell in love with I Love Sushi.
Screaming Orgasm is to die for! and "I hate my ex boyfriend" (or it might be girlfriend) is great as well.
I love all the creative sushi's and names they are given.
This joint is always on my mind, and I miss it soo much!
I wish there was a "happy-go-lucky" sushi spot in DC like I Love Sushi.

Definitely tasty, but not worth 5 stars in my opinion. They have a LOT of sushi roll items (about 100+) but in my opinion, that's WAY too many. It always takes me forever to go through the menu and after awhile, all the rolls sound the same.

Service is good and the sushi chefs are nice, but the menu is a bit overwhelming.

A very nice place.  

Sushi rolls almost as good as Osaka Bistro (right across the street).  Tempura ice cream not as good as Osaka Bistros.

Nicer ambiance than Osaka though.  

Overall, I rate this establishment four stars.  

This place is very good and will not disappoint.  I will be back again.

I love I Love Sushi! Their prices are very reasonable and their service is outstanding. They are attentive without being pushy, and your glass never comes close to being empty. I had a dinner special with beef rib eye teriyaki and tonkatsu. The rib eye was perfectly cooked and tender, the tonkatsu was breaded and fried so it wasn't overly crisy, and the pork was juicy. The salad, miso soup, and gyoza that was included was excellent as well. The coolest thing about their dinner special was their tempura rice. I have never seen anything like it and i was pleasantly surprised when i bit into it. The rolls my GF ordered were tightly rolled and filled with delicious raw cuts of fish and the sashimi she ordered was nicely cut and very fresh.

It doesn't get any better that I Love Sushi for your sushi fix in vegas. The only thing that could possibly make this place better is an "all you can eat" option.

Tempting to take a star off due to gratuitious amounts of the dreaded KRAB which they call crab, but the service was incredible so it really makes me want to round up.

Went here with a meetup group. There were 12 of us, all on separate checks, separate orders.. everything.. They nailed it! All our checks were perfectly split, all sushi came out perfectly and super fast, and even special requests were handled without a hitch. I know people complain about prices, but my fiance and I got super full plus had beers for $50. I don't think $25 each is that unreasonable for sushi and beer, but I guess it depends on what you're used to!

In general (with only a few exceptions) rolls were perfectly sized in my opinion and able to be eaten in one bite! Fish was all fresh and tasy, and 12 hours later I'm still feeling good.. definitely a good sign.

I must say, this place is surprisingly good!  I definitely would go back!  I can always tell a decent sushi restaurant by their uni, and their uni was DELICIOUS and FRESH.  yum yum yum.  I also had their yellowtail sushi, salmon sushi, hamachi kama, shrimp lover roll, and a sex on the beach.  All of the above were DELISH.  The salmon was whatever, but the yellowtail was really good.  The sex on the beach roll was awesome as well.  They have a wide array of rolls that can suit anyone's cravings.

The service was good, the environment/ambience was good, and I had a really good time there.  Definitely worth trying out people!

This is the Best  in Henderson.  My Mom does not like all kinds of sushi but she loves the Mexican Roll, and the  Spicy Salmon.
Also has lots of cooked options  for thoes of you who do not like any type of sushi...It is in a small shopping mall but  is large inside.  
Try it ....  Only problem with Sushi is no left overs for me.

The past 2-3 times we have been to I Love Sushi, we feel as if it's gone downhill.  The service has been terrible.  The food & rolls were not as fresh as usual and just plain blah.  I am very disappointed...

A fairly non-descript place located in a outdoor shopping area just outisde of Las Vegas but once you are inside, it's quite large and festive. Lots of sushi options as well as cooked options too. Service was very attentive and we had plenty of food.  When it came time for the bill, we were actually surprised at how reasonable the prices were overall.  Would certainly go back when we are in Vegas again.

I could eat at I love Sushi every day of the week.  Seriously.  Everything I've tried has been fresh and so delicious.  My faves are the Double D roll, yellowtail/scallion roll, and the grilled salmon collar.  The sashimi salad and tuna tataki salad are also really good (and huge!).

The place is in a random shopping center with a dry cleaners and a Taco Bell, but don't let that throw you off.  This is one really great sushi restaurant!

My friend took me here while I visited her.  I saw a lot of raves for this place but in my experience, I thought it was ok. The service wasn't great and the food was overpriced for what we were getting.

I think I got used to sushi-mon in vegas which has great quality sushi for a great price as well!!

Maybe I came on an off night!!!  Who knows, maybe I'll come back and try it again.

Americanized sushi doesn't always translate well. For the sake of clarity, I've translated my review of I Love Sushi into Japanese then back into English using an online translator.

Here it is in Japanenglish:

"I went to I love sushi where 2 friends have been attached, but we received just one menu. As for me I that because I am the food central, yelpers service and atmosphere of the restaurant, and so on remainder when it adjusts the focus, must say that the fact that you make be irritated is found: As for bad service it was and others, but was to let stand and the food left, if you blow, me everything is directly forgotten. As for me the weight less failure which gives three menus to us with such reason so presumes that you make be irritated -- The fish of I love sushi the good quality, but what approximately obtains your panty of the bundle, is.

"In addition as for me when the place of the sushi the wind change giving name in the roll, that like the characteristic roll of the destruction of duplication Doggstyle rather than being lovely, the margin which is rubbed the fact that you are troubled is found. But because I at all do not think the possession some kind of fish and the raw materials form the DDBS roll, but for failing the trial of the restaurant which gives the impact which is not, enjoys. And these retardedly of the menu it seems like 200 of the roll which is shown, therefore I order to speaking to my friend exactly, description finish the fact that book-reading of 30 parts is used in the change which is obtained. When you think plus, that we would like to inspect the characteristic position which has sexual intercourse don't I go exactly with Internet? You do not entreat the sushi pornography exactly.

"... Way me it elapses in grasping in detail from the food itself concerning restaurant problem, domesticated fowl and animals raw...You see. How am every [wa] am I? This examination does not have to be read! I inhale!

"And the food is good exactly. Star of two 1/2. Go somewhere."

And here it is in regular-old English:

"I went to I Love Sushi with two friends, but the waitress only gave us one menu. I have to say I find it irritating when yelpers focus too much on a restaurant's service, ambience, etc, because I'm food-centric: bad service is frustrating, but all is soon forgotten if the food blows me away. I guess that's why the waitress' failure to give us 3 menus was so vexing -- the fish at  I Love Sushi is of an ok-quality, but nothing to get your panties in a bunch about.

"I also find it annoying rather than cute when Sushi places give their rolls wacky names, like Double Doggstyle Breakup Sex Roll. But not because of the restaurant's failed attempts to shock and amuse, but because I have no fucking idea what kind of fish and ingredients make up a DDBS Roll. And there's like 200 of these retardedly-named rolls on the menu, so I end up spending a half-hour reading the descriptions instead of just ordering and getting back to talking to my friends. Plus, if I wanted to check out fucked-up sexual positions wouldn't I just go on the internet? Sushi-porn just ain't appealing.

"...Oh shit...looks like I've lapsed into griping more about the restaurant than the food itself. What a shit I am! Don't read this review! I suck!

"And the food is just ok. 2 1/2 stars. Go somewhere else."

Why can't Japanese food be more...JAPANESE????

This place was alright.  They have a decent amount of stuff on their menu's but the only thing I would have liked to see is maybe some kind of description under their custom named sushi.  While it was funny to read the different names they put down some of the names make you wonder what they put in it to associate it with the name.  As far as the food went...the salad dressing on the salad was just a tad bit too strong and the miso was just so so.  The dinners are a good size and they taste alright but nothing spectacular.  We ordered raspberry sake which really turned out to be soju but no biggie.  The service was good and our waitress kept coming back to make sure everything was good.  All in all when visiting Vegas again I don't think I would go out of the way to eat at this place.

I've been on a weird sushi kick and I've been craving it everyday.  I Love Sushi is located near my home.  So every night this week, I've called in my order... I wish they had a drive thru.

Anyhow, I normally don't eat rolls, but I couldn't resist looking at their extensive list of over 80 rolls.  So I gave it a try... Each night, I picked a different one and was not disappointed.  They have some crazy names and mix of a lot of types of fish.  One of my favorites was Eddie's special that had both spicy tuna and spicy scallops on top of a crunch roll.  It was soooo good.  I also tried their amaebi and uni... on Monday, the pieces were small but by Friday the pieces were bigger and meatier.  

Thank you I Love Sushi for supporting my sushi addiction.

Hmm....what can I say?

I LOVE SUSHI, but not at this place....

The quality of the sushi was great here, but the prices were just TOO much for what you get. I ordered the Lisa Hand Roll, my friend ordered the "I Love My Ass" roll, and Theresa B. ordered the Orgasm one. All tasted great, but it really wasn't enough food for the three of us...our bill came to about $70....

We got 6 pieces of the Lisa Hand Roll, about 6 pieces for the I LOVE MY ASS roll, and a big mess of seared tuna in a mustard sauce...as well as a waitress recommended Korean Black Raspberry wine bottle ($15)...which really tasted like red wine, and didn't fave well with my friends...so we took it home...(shhh!!!)...

The ambiance was pretty nice. It reminded me of a place I went to in Santa Monica called Sushimon...

(Of course this place is Korean owned! I seriously only know one Sushi place that is owned by Japanese...or I think it is...?!)

I love I love sushi! I've tried sashimi salad everywhere and I really like this one, could be the dressing which is all homemade. I can't stand when salads come with bottled dressings, it's obvious to me, the taste is different. Anyway we really have only had sashimi salad and a couple rolls which were excellent. There are always lots of people here every time I've ever gone. The sushi chef "Boom Boom" was hilarious and super friendly and nice. He made us a special roll and it was amazing!

The first thing I noticed about this restaurant when we drove into the lot was how big the sign was and then how big the restaurant was.  It's a big place and I highly recommend it for big groups!  They even have big booth like sections for parties of 6.

FOOD:
Kiss of Fire ($13): Spicy crab, tempura shrimp, cucumber, soft shell crab, albacore & jalapeno topped with extra spicy ponzu sauce.  I tasted more lemon than anything else in this roll.  Maybe it should've said "extra lemony ponzu sauce" on the menu instead.

I Love Sushi Special ($11.50): Spicy tuna & cucumber topped with tuna & spicy special sauce.  This was probably my favorite roll of the night! They were very generous with the tuna.  It's got a kick but it's bearable.

Crazy Horse Roll ($8): Smoked salmon, cream cheese, avocado, green onion & deep fried with eel sauce.  This is an excellent choice for those who don't like raw fish.  It's creamy and sweet!

Fat Ass Special ($13): Tuna, salmon, yellowtail, white tuna, crab meat, avocado, deep fried panko, spicy mayo, hot sauce & eel sauce.  My friends & I giggled when they repeated our order and when they brought it out: "Here is the fat ass".  HAHAHA!  This is a wide roll so you can't actually get all the fish in one bite.  Without dipping your roll in the surrounding sauce, it wouldn't be too spicy but if you drench it, you'll feel a good kick.

Green Tempura Ice Cream: They swirled the bottom of the bowl with chocolate syrup.  The tempura was more cake like than crispy but that's up to the restaurant's choice really.  The green tea ice cream was actually a little bland.

RECOMMENDED FOR: ROLL LOVERS!  Don't get all food critic-like on this place because this ain't the time.  Enjoy a long list of out-of-the-box rolls, crazy names & lots of sauce!

I have been here twice and I think it is great. I Love Sushi has a wide assortment of rolls and fish. The quality is good and the menu is creative.

The truly great aspect of this restaurant is the attentive sushi bar staff and their relationship with customers. They are fast and like to chat with the patrons and suggest new things based on the types of sushi you like. We were sat at the sushi bar surrounded by regulars who knew the sushi chefs by name.

A satisfying meal of only rolls, sashimi, and nigiri was about $50 for 2 people. I was expecting it to be more in the $65 range considering the quality of the meal. I Love Sushi is a solid value for sushi enthusiasts.

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME place!! I just can't say enough.

A buddy of mine who lives out here showed me one of two spots where the locals come for some incredible sushi without the outrageous price on the strip.

The interior is amazing.  I felt like I was transported back in time to a Japanese Tea House. I didn't realize how big it was.

I tried the Kiss of Fire (they warned me several times of how hot it was).  Incredible and very flavorful (Having a taste of the exotic and spicy), I didn't flinch.  My buddy had a couple rolls that I tried and I have to say it was damn good.  I can't say enough about this place.  Staff, Service, ambience.  Great place for a date.

Get out of the main casino strip and try the local spots if you can.  You'll save change and try some amazing rolls and Sashimi that's hard to beat.

My Favorite Local Sushi Place on the East side. I Love Sushi is always on the tongue of my friends when we are craving some raw goodness.
You can always get fresh sushi here, and they have a really extensive menu of fun rolls and dishes. I love the screaming orgasm, yes, this is what its called, I know.  Its yummy ahi tuna with a nice sauce over little cellophane noodles. The place is always pretty busy and I try to go at non peak hours...(read: super late lunch as I always do) so the service is quick.
This is not a super discount sushi place nor is it crazy expensive. I like this in the middle feeling.

Where do you go for some off strip sushi to die for? "I Love Sushi" of course. I didnt know what to expect especially from a place called I Love Sushi, let alone it being located in a strip mall. Boy we're we surprised. This place was huge and had about 20 sushi chefs working behind the counter. The place was packed on a Tuesday night. I think the place seats about 200 easily. Wow. The food was awesome. AWESOME. The rolls were about $12-15 each but boy were they worth it. I guess one of the gimmicks of this place is the names of the rolls. Screaming Orgasm, Taste Like My Ex Girlfriend, Fat A$$ Special, and so forth. Regardless about the name, the flavor was top top notch. This is definitely one of my favorite places to eat at. Even though the names and description mention "special chef sauce", they are all different sauces that are highly recommended by the sushi chefs. I read somewhere there was a total of 81 chefs that are employed there. Here's a list of rolls we had:

(Check out the pictures I added to the I Love Sushi page. Warning: May cause a craving for some Sushi!)

Jackpot Roll - I dont remember the exact description but its a fried tempura roll with spicy mayo sauce.
Spider Roll - Soft Shell Crab
Screaming Orgasm - Seared Tuna in chef special sauce
Fat Ass Roll - Tuna, salmon, yellowtail, white tuna, crab meat, avocado, deep fried panko, spicy mayo, hot sauce & eel sauce.
I Love Sushi Special - Spicy tuna & cucumber topped with tuna & spicy special sauce
Double D roll - Raw Salmon and tuna on a roll and then into the yummy sauce
Dragon Roll - Lotsa lotsa Unagi.
Baked Scallop Mushroom

I came here from out of town when I visited my friend. This place is delicious! Even though Vegas is nowhere near large bodies of water, the fish seemed really fresh.

Their service was good and friendly, and I liked that my cup of tea never went empty. Prices were reasonable as well, especially given the quality. You can't beat the names of their rolls. The specialty rolls are HUGE. My friend and I were stuffed sharing two specialty rolls and a maki roll.

If you're in Las Vegas and in the mood for Japanese food, make your way to I Love Sushi if you can!

This place was not as delicious as I remember it being. This time my friend and I sat away from the sushi bar, so it was not as entertaining--with the flying fish fillets and sake shots--as last time. We also sat by the door, which made the dining environment chillier than I'd like. Overall the food was good. I had the noodle soup and my friend ordered some elaborate sushi roll and dinner meal. Service was speedy and attentive.

I came here for the first time about a week ago for lunch and liked it so much that I got carryout for dinner the same day!  The prices here are higher than I normally pay for nigiri sushi, but the pieces of fish are possibly half again the size that you get at Sushi Mon or Yummy Grill Sushi, so you get more for the money.  The ikura is GREAT- fresh and huge!  I tried their inari and liked that as well- not overly sweet , overly wet or overly dry, and the soy "pockets" have a nice texture- I'm picky about my inari and theirs is my favorite so far.  

I had lunch there on a weekday around noon and the place filled up pretty rapidly. But service was slow before it filled up- I think the waitress forgot we were there or assumed we'd need more time to decide.  

The names of their sushi are ridiculous- one even has the word "a$$" in it!  The names don't seem to correspond to the food at all (what do you put in a sushi roll called "Whose Your Pimp?" anyway?), and the silly names don't jibe with the formal decor and politeness of the waiters either.  I would have been embarrassed to ask one of those nice ladies for that "a$$" roll!  :-D

Is this place good for kids?  Well, the food's great.  Just hide that menu from them!

Service used to be incredibly slooooooow...we stopped going since we cant afford two hours dinners. But improved since. My  favorite neighborhood sushi restaurant, its my daughter & I's special place where we get to spend some quality time over food we both enjoy most! She's ten, her favorite is California Roll, Deep Fried Gyoza, Edamame and mine are Salmon Skin Roll, Agedashi Tofu, Cucumber Salad and we both love the Spider Roll (soft shell crab). And she also loves the Japanese Sprite which was introduced to her since Osaka Restaurant's days. For a good sushi in henderson, this is Z place...

Great food and good atmosphere.  Owned by a Korean sushi chef, so the whole staff is Korean.  Still, they do very good job and are better than most Japanese-owned place.  Roppongi roll with ponzu sauce is the best roll in town.  All nigiri sushi are prepared very well and delicious.  The only downside are the snooty, slow waitresses.
