Sushi Lover - Belmont

Not a place you would think to look for a restaurant, let alone a sushi place... Sandwiched between a chiropractor's office and a dry cleaning store, Sushi Lover has been serving fresh, high quality sushi since 2010.

The menu is a combination of staples like steamed edamame, sushi rolls, sashimi, etc. They also have some uniquely named rolls that are intriguing. No matter what you order, the fish is always really fresh and high quality, making it a really good, satisfying meal.

Some of our favorites are the refreshing Sunomono Salad - a cucumber and seaweed salad with seafood, the Salmon Skin Handroll, and the Salmon Backbone.

Contrary to what the salmon backbone dish sounds like, they don't actually get all the meat off the bone when they filet a fish. The remnants are really good for a fish broth, or as Chef KC does, grilled, served with a light Teriyaki glaze. The result is a tender flaky treat!

Perhaps these dishes are available at most sushi places, but this was the first place I had ever tried them, and they are all stellar.
