About I Love Sushi

I Love Sushi on Lake Bellevue

Bellevue, WA

The first restaurant specialized in sushi opened in Bellevue back in 1986. It was groundbreaking. It was new. It was also welcomed with open arms.

Today, the same premise of fresh fish rooted in Japanese technique, results in delicious, premium sushi. Over the years, we’ve expanded from sushi to include what we call “WA,” which is Japanese culture translated through food. While we offer the best fish from local and Japanese fish markets, we also offer a wide array of other Japanese foods, including Sukiyaki, Sashimi and Tempura.
