Sushi Lovers

Tie between Sushi Lovers and Sticks N’ Sushi for me in terms of the best sushi in CPH. I love going here for lunch, my favorites are the dragon rolls. The guys who make the sushi are super friendly and helpful when catering orders to specific requests. Sometimes there is a long wait, but overall love this, located in the glass market.

The pickled wasabi is out of this world. The chef traveled to Japan to seek out the most unique rolls and flavors. Check it out.

This was by far the best sushi I had so far. I have never had this much fish in my rolls :-) Even though there was no table service we could order our food with the waitress. We had a seat at the counter overlooking the cooks. The chef preparing the sushi in front of us was very busy all night but still found time to refresh our drinks. The vegetarian sushi menu was also a nice surprise for my boyfriend including rolls with strawberries and mango. It didn’t come cheap but it was definitely worth the money!

A go-​to spot in downtown Copenhagen if you want exquisite, delicious sushi! Taste was spot on, service was world class, everything just clicked.
For this review I had:
Sushilovers roll
Scallop Delight nigiri
Pankko Breaded Scallop nigiri
Kirin Ichiban Beer
The sushilovers roll was the most expensive roll on the menu, demanding 135 (20 $) for 10 pieces. However, it contained everything I needed to taste on the menu, in the short time I had. Crispy shrimp & avocado topped with flame-​grilled
tuna, salmon and avocado seasoned pyntet with chilimayo, teriyaki
sauce ands spring onions. Delicious and worth it!
I had the Scallop Delight as a bonus piece because the Chef made my sushilovers roll too short (only 8 pieces instead of 10). I got the Scallop Delight and the pankko breaded scallop as substitute for the 2 pieces of sushilovers roll that was lacking. I had the nigiri freshly prepared and presented by the chef. The scenario reminded med of the movie «Jiro Dreams of Sushi». Very High Class and execution. Great way to make up for the error. The service and treatment was excellent!

Visited here twice. I had sushilover roll and two salmon nigiri, tasting plater and red dragon roll for the second time.
I’ll say it is average i guess? it is not like they are nasty, they are neat and eatable, yet they weren’t special enough to be a five star.
First of all, normally, if it’s seared salmon/​tuna, when you taste it, they should be hot. However, it does not taste hot at all. Yet I’ve seen this problem in most places in Copenhagen, so I guess that is normal?
Red hot dragon roll, being their top seller as they claimed, I think the chili part was kind of too overwhelmed. I could barely taste the fish part.
Sushilover roll, I think this is good, but it would be better if the seared fish on top is hot, and it would be even better if they have more mayo. They can improve.
Salmon nigiri, I think they are probably the best around here?
Tasting plater, this is a plate of four special nigiri. I thought this one was pretty cool. Like they made combinations of nigiri as I have never seen them before… by far, I think they are the best product of this place, yet they are a bit expensive. You can taste a mouth of oil when you had their seared salmon. LOVE IT! this is the kind of seared salmon nigiri I want, expect the fact that it isn’t warm…
I would agree this is probably the better sushi bar I’ve visited in Copenhagen. but for its price, I think the quality can do better, they still have a way to improve. Looking for more places to beat this place up.

Wow. I will forever remember my trip to Sushi Lovers because of the experience I had here.
I started ordering out a sushi lover small — great sushi, prepared well, perfect afternoon snack. I also loved the ambience in torvehallerne. Great light coming in, very intimate and cozy.
Then the exec chef from Studio sits down and begins talking to the chef behind the counter. They are sharing amazing stories and I am a foodie/​chef geek so I love hearing the conversation. The chef ends up talking about a new preparation he’s worked on for lobster — freshly killed and served immediately — and then begins to prepare it for him. I am just in AWE!!! So of course I HAVE to ask how I can get one of those, too!!! I ask, he gives me the price, and my friend and I without a doubt ordered it.
It was amazing. A danish blue lobster (seemed to be like the free-​range version of lobster — they are more active so the meat has a firmer texture). We got to watch him (warning: graphic!) rip the head-​off and then proceed to detach the tail meat with a spoon while the lobster was still twitching. it doesn’t get fresher than that! He cut up the meat and served in in the tail shell, prepared a special ponzu/​plum wine sauce and added fresh micro greens. I was in heaven!
The chef then also offered to make a fresh miso soup with the rest of the lobster shell/​head and serve us the claw meat sashimi style! LOVED IT! The claws were ginormous and the soup was delicious.
Fresh lobster sashimi in a special preparation not on the menu, head to tail eating. A. MAZING.

Sushi Lovers is a amongst the better sushi joints in Copenhagen. They do traditional sushi but also more creative menus — try out their Gourmet menus, they are fantastic and my favourites! They are also serving Cava by the glass — a perfect supplement for the sushi. Be aware that Sushi Lovers is located in Torvehallerne so its more a Sushi bar than a Sushi restaurant and difficult for larger groups.

With my girlfriend being an avid fan of sushis, we had to try this one.
The atmosphere was quite cool because the place is located in torvehallerne, where everything seems to be leaned towards food. After ordering, we couldn’t wait to taste as everything they brought to their clients was VERY good-​looking.
It did not disappoint. The sushis were the best my gf had tasted here in town, and for me, the main course was perfect. I had the teriyaki pork and it was just melting in the perfect way, grilled on top but tender on the inside.
The price was on the high-​end but we felt that we had quality for it!

Is the place that changed my opinion about sushi. I had tried before several times, and I was never impressed.
We were a group of five, so I tasted 6 different inside-​outs.
My advice is to go for the special rolls. For me the «Red Hot Dragon» was beyond this world.
We sat on the bar, right in front of ths chefs and the service was super fast (time helped, when we left the place was packed).

I went here for lunch with a friend, and we each ordered the small sushi lover menu, some miso soup and edamame beans.
I have to say I’m not the edamame fan, but the beans here were some if the best I’ve had! They tasted absolutely amazing. On the other hand, the miso soup was probably one of the most dull and forgettable miso’s I’ve had so the two kind of balance each other out.
Then it’s down to the sushi: It was good, mostly nigiri and inside-​outs, and the quality was good — but it was really nothing out if the ordinary. For 115kr it’s a good buy, but with so many great lunch options in Torvehallerne I doubt I’ll return soon in the near future.
I have a sneaking suspecion that the delux versions are much more exicting and an entirely different experience, so it might be worthwhile to try this out.
Note: Just for the record, this is located in the ‘meat’ section of Torvehallerne (Food Markets), across from one my go to tapas joints.

This place serves amazingly tasty and fresh sushi! They serve different and amazing flavor combinations.

Some of the best sushi I’ve ever had. They are inventive in the ingredients they put together and are super yummy. The fish is fresh and the all the ingredients mesh perfectly in your mouth for an explosion of flavor.
Service: ³⁄₅
The space is pretty small and they are extremely popular. Which means that there is a long wait to order and a potential for things to go wrong. They actually lost one of the rolls we ordered and after waiting for 30 mins, I asked about it and they were completely in shock over it. I had to ask if I could get another one and how long it would take. (I guess they don’t ever lose orders?)
Atmosphere: ⁵⁄₅
It is located in Torvehallerne which has a very foody vibe. Everywhere you are surrounded by delicious food and people enjoying it.
Apparently, you can make reservations via phone call. I recommend this if you plan to eat here after 6pm. Alternatively, you can do take-​away.
Value: ⁴⁄₅
We had the Gourmet Lovers for 2 menu for around 400 kr and had to order another roll to feel full. But that is sort of typical for sushi…
This is quality sushi at a reasonable price.

The best sushi I have had in Europe, possibly ever. Sushi Lovers was asked to participate in the World Sushi Cup in Tokyo in 2013. What more is there to say? Not everyone gets invited to participate in the World Sushi Cup.
Yum. Yum. Yum.
Head to the market, eat some sushi, then have a glass of wine, then share a sandwich at Ma Poule, then drink some more wine, then share a pasta dish at the pasta booth, then eat dessert at one of the many dessert booths. Two hours well spent, if you ask my taste buds.

This place is truly a wonderful Sushi find.
As an avid sushi eater, I had to try the only sushi restaurant in Copenhagen’s most famous market, Torvehallerne. I found the fish extremely fresh, and overall the roll I got (Sushilovers roll) was extremely good.
I was able to ask the waitress, who was extremely nice to me, what type of rolls were best for what kind of a thing I wanted. Her suggestion was great.
I’m very happy with my meal.

Sushilovers befindet sich in den Markthallen Torvehaller. Hiergibt es vermutlich die besten Sushi der Stadt.
