In the past few months, Shiki’s fish has gotten even better. The last time I went for lunch, on a Wednesday, I got the sushi deluxe. WOW. The fish was unbelievably fresh. The yellowtail was incredible. I love Shiki. Can’t wait to try Sushi Love.

I’ve had the red curry, and it’s totally forgettable, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t venture off the sushi menu once in a while!

I’m a big fan of sushi love, while they have a smaller selection of fancy rolls, their location (closer to duke park) and atmosphere (way better than the sushi-themed nightclub atmosphere of shiki) make sushi love way better than Shiki is now. I recognize several of the sushi chefs from years of going to Shiki (I ate at Shiki when they opened 7 years ago).

I like Sushi love better than Mt. Fuji, or Cafe Zen as both of those places tended to produce Nigiri that tasted slightly of refrigerators, which Shiki/Sushi Love has not.

I wish they would vary the music more, I really can’t take any more DMB.

One of these days I’ll try their non-sushi menu.

I’ll have to try Sushi Love. I’m an Akashi regular, and IIRC their head sushi chef used to work at Shiki Sushi.

I went to Sushi Love on Erwin last night and it was excellent. The sushi is similar to Shiki in quality and taste. I will definitely be going back for more. I’m so excited I don’t have to drive all the way to SW Durham for decent sushi anymore!
