I LOVE SUSHI
100 Fairview Ave. N., (206) 625 9604
Both I Love Sushi locations, the one here in Seattle near Lake Union, and its two eastside cousins in Bellevue are great places to introduce someone to sushi – they’re big, family friendly and easygoing, but the quality is terrific, and has been consistent since the main Bellevue location opened in 1986. Many of the city’s sushi chefs got their start right here.
The combination plates are winners, and the more traditional Japanese selections like the sea urchin and abalone are great choices for the more experienced. Healthy techniques and organic ingredients are emphasized at I Love Sushi, and are a priority for founder Yoshi Yokoyama.
