Sushi Garden Aptos

"They have some decent vegan options. The teriyaki tofu (with cucumber salad), avocado cucumber roll, and slug roll (seaweed and mushroom) are all really good. Nice outdoor seating area. Enclosed, with lights, radiant heaters, and screens that can be raised or lowered on request."

"The food is good. Having a busy evening affected the level of service, overall good value for the money, food is fresh, generous portions -"

"Why is this location better than the Watsonville one? Different cooks? Not sure why, but lunch was delicious on Saturday. Had the 3 choice Bento box lunch special with chicken teriyaki, tonkatsu and Veggie tempura."

"I keep going back for lunch and dinner and I'm very picky. Consistent high quality Japanese food every time. Super nice waitstaff as well. The bento boxes are overflowing with tasty items at reasonable prices. We always get a table or place too. Parking is excellent. Nice views of the forest beyond and your car if you want to keep an eye on your bike rack or something in the truck bed. Windows all around and high a ceiling for good airflow tvs too with sports..Easy, convenient, and enjoyable. Only pic is of the soft shelled crab my friend had sorry..I was to busy chowing my bento. Check it out. Thank you"

"I was very suspicious of this place. The location in a strip mall and because of the multiple locations. (is it a chain?) I also prefer Japanese owned sushi restaurants but I'm Soooo happy we decided to eat here. Pros: Great atmosphere, high ceilings, big TVs with sports on, comfortable seating, great view of the sushi chefs, clean bathrooms, excellent sushi/sashimi, nice staff, $20 off your bill on your birthday (super generous), ice cold beer in frozen glasses, big salad with creamy goma dressing (this sesame dressing is as good as my wife's!) complimentary edamame, good tempura. Cons: The tempura dipping sauce is completely wrong, ruins the tempura. They use the same sauce for their Age Dashi Tofu and it's also completely wrong. Also the tofu pieces should be larger and softer, the contrast of the soft tofu and the crunchy coasting with the slightly sweet umami sauce makes Age Dashi Tofu one of my favorites. Their teriyaki sauce is mostly corn starch. (I lived and cooked in Japan for years and the sauces are so important and not hard to master so I know you can do it.) The bowls for their Chirashi Don are too heavy and clunky and they should give a little more sushi rice. Having said all this the Chirashi Don is still excellent. This is a great sushi place in a convenient location if you are in Aptos. We will be coming back."
