Love this place. Staff is friendly and food is fresh and delicious. 100% worth your money

Simply the best Sushi restaurant experience I've had in recent memory. Been here once, and plan on returning. Everything from the green tea to the sushi rolls (the Crunchy Roll is phenomenal) we're top notch. Loved the sashimi as well. (I actually was a sushi chef many years ago and I love this place.) Service was great too. We came to find that they recently had and ownership change and you can tell the new owner knows how to run the place! If you want a light & friendly atmosphere, great sushi and generous portions, look no further.

I got the lunch special and I loved the beautiful presentation! The fish was very good.

Living in Temecula for all my life, I've been going here for over 10 years. The service is incredible. My family is good friends with the staff. The food is the most deliceous sushi I have ever eaten. You need to order the sunset roll! So in conclusion, staff, food, service and atmosphere all perfect. 10/10 would absolutely recomend for if you are in Temecula and are capable of spending a little money.

This place is so close to my house so we go here a lot for sushi! The employees are always so nice! The food! The sushi we get are always so fresh! Get the Toro! You won't be disappointed!

Great service & the foods are phenomenal. Ask for Su Ci! Very friendly host and she will help you with the menu you desire. I love raw fish & seafoods. Real Sushi! This is the place I will go back!

We have been coming here for years. This is our official sushi spot and we will drive past many sushi places just for their rolls. Portions are bigger than other places and always fresh. Their service is always friendly and they have a comfortable setting. Prices are comparable to other sushi places, but as mentioned before, portions are slightly larger. If you are in the area or visiting, I would highly recommend Sushi Love Boat Kaisen, the one on Temecula Pkwy (there are a few sushi love boats in town). It is relaxing, great and we have always had a positive experience. They have a wide variety of food and rolls for all different tastes. The sunset roll is one that we find very unique/tasty with the combo of scallops and eel. They can also accommodate larger parties.

Got serviced fast, would recommend. Was hesitant since I'm not from the area but would eat there again if in the area.

Delicious fresh blue fin tuna. Very nice staff.nice location. The blue fin was cut prefect and tasted so good.

Delicious and large rolls, super fresh! Cooks so nice they even made some crab hamd rolls just for us! Great service, easy parking, great happy hour!

Love this place! Staff is friendly and always happy to see us. This is our favorite sushi place in the valley and we eat there nearly every week. If you want a different type of role full of flavor, try PS role. Also, try the spicy seafood salad which is full of sashimi and may I suggest dressing on the side. My personal favorite is salmon belly sashimi with fresh wasabi.

Best sushi in Temecula. Eric and Amy are awesome owners, take great care to their customers. Love Sueshe and Wondi.

Very tasty and large portions, the spicy garlic edamame is the best ever!

I thought it was a really cute place. The rolls are huge and the prices are reasonable. The service was excellent and very friendly. I'd definitely go there again.

This place will always have my heart. Its a gem! The service is excellent and impeccable! The quality is fantastic and fresh. This easy going and relaxed setting makes you feel comfortable and just a place you can grab a glass of wine, your favorite sushi and just enjoy yourself! This is a place you can definitely go to once or twice a week and really feel at home. The owner and workers will always make you feel like family! Don't miss out on this place! This is the one place you have to go to for sushi!

The sushi here is absolutely delicious and the staff is very friendly too! There’s never a wait and the quality is consistently great! The Alaskan roll was amazing and they even included a complimentary handroll, it wasn’t the tastiest, but I still really appreciated that little bonus!

Love Boat Sushi Kaisen is an absolute gem for sushi lovers seeking an unforgettable experience. From the moment you step into the restaurant, you’re enveloped by a warm, welcoming atmosphere that instantly puts you at ease. The ambiance is sleek yet cozy, with the soft glow of lighting highlighting the open sushi bar where the action truly takes place. Freshness of the Fish: The standout feature of Love Boat Sushi Kaisen is undeniably the freshness of their fish. Each piece of sushi is prepared with absolute precision, and the quality of the seafood speaks for itself. The tuna is vibrantly red, melting in your mouth with every bite, while the salmon is buttery and rich, effortlessly gliding across your palate. The shrimp, scallops, and yellowtail are impeccably fresh, with a clean, oceanic taste that truly transports you to the heart of the sea. The chef’s attention to sourcing the highest quality fish is evident in every dish that arrives. Hospitality: As soon as you walk in, the hospitality is exceptional. The staff greets you with a friendly smile, offering you a seat right at the sushi bar where you can watch the chef work his magic. The servers are attentive without being overbearing, making sure you're comfortable and satisfied throughout the entire meal. They go the extra mile to ensure that you feel like part of the family. The ambiance is relaxed, and yet there’s a sense of genuine care in everything they do — from explaining the menu to sharing insight into the fish you're about to enjoy. The Chef’s Special Off-Menu Roll: One of the highlights of the evening was when the chef asked if I’d like him to make me something off the menu. Intrigued, I eagerly agreed, and what he presented was nothing short of extraordinary. The roll he crafted was a perfect balance of flavors and textures — hot, spicy, and savory all at once. The fish was beautifully seared, creating a rich, smoky flavor, and topped with a fiery sauce that had just the right amount of heat to awaken your taste buds without overwhelming them. The contrast between the warm, slightly charred exterior and the delicate, tender fish inside was absolutely incredible. It was a dish made with so much care and attention that it felt like a personal gift from the chef. Incredible Hospitality: As if the food wasn’t enough, the hospitality truly set the tone for the entire meal. The chef took the time to explain the inspiration behind each dish, checking in regularly to ensure I was enjoying every bite. He made me feel like a valued guest, offering personalized recommendations based on my preferences and showing a true passion for the food he was creating. It’s rare to find a place where the chef and staff genuinely care about your experience as much as the quality of the food, and Love Boat Sushi Kaisen nails this balance perfectly. Conclusion: Love Boat Sushi Kaisen isn’t just a place to eat; it’s an experience. The freshness of the fish, the artful preparation of each dish, the special off-menu creations, and the outstanding hospitality make it a standout sushi destination. Whether you’re a sushi connoisseur or a newcomer, this restaurant will leave you with memories of an unforgettable meal. The chef's dedication to craft and the warmth of the staff make it clear that Love Boat Sushi Kaisen is a true labor of love.

Love this place! Try to stop by every time coming to Temecula! Best sushi and fresh fish all the time. Absolutely love lunch and dinner combo with miso and boat

My first time here and I can guarantee you that I’m coming back as a regular. I had my toddler with me and they were so kind and friendly towards him even checking in on him to see if he’s enjoying his meal. We ordered the Large Kaisen boat that came with rice, miso soup, tempura, beef and chicken teriyaki. My husband got their premium bento box which came with a small serving of sashimi & sushi rolls and other extra things for $29 🤩 Then, we got the Yaki Udon with chicken and it had so much flavor. Bonus points: They have fresh wasabi and it was sooooo good.

What an amazing find. On our way back from San Diego and fortunate to stop by this gem. Friendly staff and legit sushi . Was able to celebrate a birthday with family. We'll be back next time we go to wine country. This is definitely worth a try

This place was great! We used to go to another spot closer to our home but the food quality went down and the prices doubled. This place had amazing quality of fish and even give you the choice of cut. The Uni was outstanding and did not cost an arm amd a leg. Can't wait to go back!

Wowie!! This place is a hidden gem. Service was great and food was even greater!! I don't know how the price is so reasonable for the quality you get. We got here before opening on Saturday and there was a line. Apparently you can make reservation too. Get the love boat sushi. So delicious

Matthew Eveland

My wife and I stopped here after a super long work week. We are absolutely beat. The service is great here. While we ordered the chef brought us out a free appetizer. All the food was well made and fresh. The kitchen is fast and the servers are very attentive. Our server even asked if we wanted our picture. I will be back here every time I’m back in Temecula❤️

Florinda Smith

Excellent sushi, fresh, try chief special, scallops crunch roll, bake scallops roll.

Jeffrey Simmons

Have to say, this restaurant offers the best combination of delicious sushi (nigiri included generous cuts of salmon) and a family-friendly atmosphere in Temecula. The dishes look as artistic as they are delicious. The lunch boxes are huge, tasty and cover a wide-range of choices. Service was quick even though it was quite busy at the time. We'll be returning soon!

2nd visit. Pleasant and attentive service. I get sashimi only. Toro and salmon belly to die for. My wife got the Poké and it was gorgeous and delicious.

I regularly go here with my boyfriend and I treated my family by going here the last last time they came into CA. The service is always really nice and they check on you without interrupting you on your meal. The fish and oysters are so fresh everytime, I wonder where they get them. I really can not wait to come back with my family, they loved it!

Sashimi is always fresh and they know I love to include Saba. Very generous and reasonable price for thick sashimi. I also love Sesame Tuna steak bento box with extra ponzu and fresh wasabi. My favorite sushi place in Temecula.

Went here yesterday with work colleagues and had the best service. I didn’t get her name but she was so sweet and knowledgeable! The atmosphere is clean but nothing fancy. But the sushi and sashimi was remarkably fresh! They have a lot of different rolls which I like. Often a lot of sushi restaurants have pretty typical rolls you could get anywhere, but this one had those plus some interesting and very good sounding options. Will be back!!

Great experience. They were able to make cucumbers suchi rolls, since I cant eat rice. My family and I enjoyed it.

Very welcoming and friendly. I enjoy spicy foods and the sea food salad had my mouth on fire. 😁 Enjoyed it tremendously. Now the question is will it be like that every time. The sushi we had was also delicious. Everyone enjoyed their meal. We went on a birthday girls bday. The restaurant was kind and light up the place with different colored lights with a birthday song playing as they brought her ice cream with a candle.

Following our weekly Thursday afternoon social get-together at a local winery, six of us stopped in to Sushi Love Boat for dinner. Located in the Ralphs/CVS shopping center at the corner of Butterfield Stage and Temecula Parkway, Sushi Love Boat is in a great location with lots of parking and just minutes from wineries! We were greeted warmly and seated right away - they weren't very busy at that point. After ordering drinks and a bunch of sushi rolls to share, we were pleasantly surprised to have our server bring out complimentary hand rolls while we waited. They were delicious and whet our appetite for what was to come! Our server was wonderful and food came out as it was ready. Presentation was beautiful and most importantly, everything was so incredibly fresh and so flavorful! It's hard for me to pick a favorite, but if pushed, it might be the golden tiger roll. So while service and food were excellent, the only thing that could be improved here was the décor which could use some refreshing. As someone who loves color and the psychology of color, I felt there was too much red everywhere - red paint on all the walls, as well as the seats. There's a reason that many fast food restaurants incorporate red in their décor and branding. Aside from being eye-catching, the color red increases pulse, heart rate and appetite...but it also makes you want to eat quickly and leave which is useful for turning over tables in fast food restaurants (think McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy's, In-N-Out). Sushi is such a wonderful meal to share with a group of friends and a place with food as great as Sushi Love Boat calls for an atmosphere that says, "sit, relax and enjoy!" We're so happy to have found such a great sushi place so close to our home, and plan to be back again very soon!

Dine in- Staff was friendly, atmosphere wasnt bad. Its what youd expect from a hole im the wall. Sushi was mid. My partner ended up not eating her rolls after the second bite. She said the fish tasted old. I tried it and the fish was lukewarm as well as not tasting fresh. Wouldnt go to this place again. Stomach is churning\will see how it goes.

Last time when I had my food there, I was not happy at all. The quality was disappointing. The blue fin tuna roll, the most expensive one, was covered with tuna chunks, that were hard to chew, definitely not what I expected. Other rolls were just normal.

A cup of cold tea, cold miso soup, and an entree for two came out to $70. Outrageous. Service was extremely slow for being the only party in the building. The back wall with the mess of pictures is an eye sore. Every sushi roll is ridiculously loaded with crab. Too many sad things about this place, for an insane amount of money.
