My wife, and I walked in ,and was met by some guy wearing a light blue button down shirt. He looked at us, smirked, grabbed menu's, and walked toward outside seating never once looking at us or saying a word, we followed... He walked toward one table, then another where he literally threw the menu's onto the table, and walked away. At that point t my wife said to me; "We should leave." We talked about it, and I convinced her we should stay, try the food, and find out who this rude guy is ... The food was as bad as the rude guy who walked us to a table... As we were leaving I asked one of the cleanup guys about the guy with the blue shirt, and permed hair, the cleanup person told us his name is "Chris"... Chris is one of the reasons we will never stepfoot into Tucson's Sushi garden.. BTW, the waitess Caroline was a very helpful person who treated us with a mutual respect. Maybe Caroline should take "Chris's" job, and Chris should find a job that makes him happy...

If I could give a zero stars I would. My friend and I just left here after having probably the worst dinner of our lives. I didn't get her name and honestly didn't care to ask for it but she has razer shark shark teeth. So rude, did judge us from far away with stares, rude manner, and standing right next to us with the check for five minutes almost like she was eager for us to leave. DO NOT GO HERE. Sushi is warm and not good.

Okay spot, used to be better in my opinion. Came specifically to sit outside and enjoy the heat with some misters(crazy I know), but the misters don't work and the server said they haven't worked for months. Sad because it's the middle of summer! Instead they sat us inside with a different server. Service was okay, could tell the server was new by a few mistakes with our order, but nothing major. Sushi came out almost immediately which is nice(but I also wonder). Overall, will most likely come back if somebody else wants to go.

This place has lost it luster and in my opinion it's not even close to the quality of other sushi houses in Tucson. For some reason they are still busy on a regular basis. For the price and quality I would suggest expanding your sushi tastebuds to some smaller family owned spots like Sushi O.

I'm sorry to say I was not impressed with the sushi here. They seated us in the bar - weird when we arrived at 12 when they opened but ok I guess, even though the table had a thick sticky type of top on it. The bartender was nice enough though, and brought us our spicy tuna roll fast and my miso soup fast. The soup was ok, but the quality of the sushi I had an issue with. It was like a paste inside and overall kind of a big loose roll. When I let her know, she insisted that's how all spicy tuna rolls were. I let her know I used to be a waitress in a sushi place (probably before she was born since it was 30 years ago but I didn't say that) and I'd never had spicy tuna like that. She kept telling me in LA that's how it was. Eye roll here, as I was rollerblading up and down the boardwalk in Santa Monica in 1992 and I know what fresh fish is and this ain't it hon, but whatever!! I know it's lunch and let's move on - we replaced it with yellowtail, supposedly cut from the fish and not in a paste-like consistency. I'll show a pic. To me it looked exactly like the spicy tuna:not appetizing. I brought it home for my boyfriend, who grew up in LA. He said it was diced fish and not good. It had a fishy taste which means it's old. His words: it's like it's all ground up in a food processor. On a better note, the shrimp tempura in the bento box was light and crispy, and the salad and noodles were flavorful. However, the point of going to a sushi place is to get good sushi. I will not be returning.

I'd like to give 3.5 but they aren't quite at a 4 so I'll stick with 3. My go to order is fried tofu (GREAT!) the garden roll (no carrot, FANTASTIC, and the jalenpeno sauce is very good) and some other veggie roll (never a miss). My friend typically gets the crab puffs and a fried roll. Others have ordered various hot dishes. All that to say the food is always tasty and reasonably priced. However, the cons are the presentation and consistency. Sometimes the rolls are sloppy and don't hold together, the contents of the sushi rolls can be skimpy or very full, sometimes the rice to filling ratio is way off, and it will never be pretty on the plate. I'm happy cause the taste is always consistent. You'll just never know what it'll look like this time you order. :)It's right next to my yoga studio so I'll always have Sushi Garden as my go to spot.

The food was great but not the service. We came here on Wednesday after my kids graduation and there was an issue with our order. They gave me two starches instead of a salad that came with the meal and when I pointed it out if it comes like this, the server said no and then proceeded to yank my plate away from me!She never asked if she could take my plate or informed me that she will get this sorted but just swipes it away and disappears with it. Comes back with the same plate a few minutes later minus the yakisoba noodles and never apologizes. I found it really off putting and rude. Oh and when the other server drops off the sushi, they practically let the plate drop so it clatters loudly. Honestly with that experience, I would be embarrassed to recommend this place in case it ever happened to them too.We just wanted a nice sushi treat for the kiddos but it has forever colored my experience with this establishment. I'm not entirely sure we'd ever return because food is one thing but if the service is lacking, it's a deal breaker for us.

We just doordash and it was so good and fast. Good quality tuna and massago! Definitely recommend

Sashimi was amazing. Very large servings. Rolls were also great. Server took the order and within 10 minutes we had drinks and our first set of rolls. We will return.

The food was amazing! Lots of options for those who don't want fish, or have allergies. The staff was friendly and answered all questions we had and there's always a game on. On the slower nights, it has a very lovely ambience, but if you're looking for a more exciting night busy nights are for you!I highly suggest going here if you're looking for good sushi!
Wife and I decided to try this place as we both love sushi we went here for lunch so it was not too busy. The sushi was all right. Nothing special. They do have lots of options and a pretty vast menu but to me it seems like this place is more about serving as many people and not necessarily quality. the service was OK if somebody else chose this place to go to and invited me I would go and enjoy myself, but it wouldn't be my choice. There are better options out there that I enjoy more.

We usually like this restaurant but we’re turned away from their empty outdoor patio because we had our very well-behaved puppy with us. We will not be back as there are lots of other great sushi places in town that are dog friendly.

I had a bowl of Pork Ramen Soup ($10.90). Unfortunately, it was almost inedibly salty.

The vegetarian roll with sweet jalapeño-avocado sauce was bomb - loved it.Very nice presentation of the specialty rolls.It's in a cute building next to Natural Grocers. The interior is eclectic and varied in taste. Prices are moderate, service is attentive.

Some of the best sushi in town. Great atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating. Great service with very friendly staff. Love the sushi here and will keep coming back.
