The blog this week is a review on a restaurant that is definitely my favorite in this food category:
Sushi Lover in Waterford.
Most of the time when I mention to our friends that my girlfriend and I are going to have sushi we get the “Did you fall and bump your head?” look. But then we other have friends that say, “Why didn’t you tell us you were going?”
Let me tell you my sushi story briefly. Approximately 5 to 6 years ago, my girlfriend said to me, “Have you ever had sushi?” I said, “No and I never planned to.” 15 minutes later I am sitting down at a table at Sushi Land which was the previous name of the restaurant before Sushi Lover.
Now I know you men out there are reading this and thinking that I need my Man Card taken away for caving in to go eat sushi, but let me tell you this was by far one of the best “surrender the white flag” moments to my girlfriend I have done.
Now on to the review. Let me first start by saying the restaurant is in an unassuming location towards the end of a plaza just north of Andersonville Rd and Dixie Highway on the west side of Dixie Highway. Please do not let the location fool you, it is by far the best sushi around.
Now I am no sushi chef but I can tell you that when it comes to sushi you, of course, want it to be fresh, and I guarantee you that Sushi Lover is the freshest sushi around.
I encourage you to try a couple of rolls that we order every time we go, while also trying some new things. The Asparagus Roll, Tuna Tempura Roll, California Roll and many others. Last but not least, you have to try some Tuna Nigiri, which is a piece of tuna over rice.
The majority of the time you will find the owner right in the trenches with the employees, making sure everything runs smoothly. Sushi Lover has an excellent wait staff that knows the menu, which is important when ordering sushi. Please do not hesitate to ask your server for recommendations. I would be remiss if I also did not mention that Sushi Lover has the best sushi chefs around.
If you live in the Clarkston, Waterford area this should definitely be your go to restaurant for sushi!
