We’re a regular at the various Sushi Harden locations. Always fresh. Service is great.
The only reason I’m giving the atmosphere a 4 is that it always has a strong smell of disinfectant cleaner when you walk in. Could be worse. ?

I thought I go solo for sushi nd sat at the bar. Tons of staff, place was a 1/4 full. But I never got served. I finally stood up and asked one of the sushi chefs how I am suppose to order, and he seemed concerned and tried to get the staff. They just were not interested. They were more into their own conversation I think. I get it, they're all kids. I left and one of the staff members tried to apologize but I was over it. Maybe they didn't want to serve one person. Who knows.

A fantastic menu with much more than just sushi. It isn't surprising that this place is popular, and there is a wait list on busy nights. I ordered chicken udon and California rolls.

The decor outside transports you to your own little place in Japan. It’s serene; calm and quiet, they even have koi fish in the little pond.
Inside the restaurant it feels like a place you’d find in Tokyo. It’s clean, well organized and pretty inside. We had sashimi and nigiri along with some appetizers, soju and beer. The fish was very fresh, and at the right temperate for sushi. The nigiri rice was very well prepared, not mushy or undercooked, and it was subtlety flavored. The service was ok, not spectacular though. It took us about 5-10 minutes to get our servers attention sometimes. They seemed to be talking a lot amongst themselves instead of looking to see if the customers needed anything. It wasn’t such that it would stop me from going back though. I definitely recommend trying this place out for yourself.

The Sushi Garden in Capitols is a lovely little spot tucked in the courtyard of a small office building. I love coming here.

food is great and affordably priced, huge pieces of sashimi in my hwaedupbap (korean chirashi). great bartender who was iconically playing biggie. however i must side eye the ramen (i didnt order it)... them noodles instant... also i did a soju bomb and definitely scared some locals.

I took my 8 year old on a sushi date. They despiced the fire roll for her and brought an extra plate of cherries for her ice cream when she asked for one. She insisted on the 5:star rating!

I've been a regular here since moving from over the hill, and this is easily one of the best sushi spots in the area. The fish is always fresh, the plates are beautifully presented, and the dining experience is consistently excellent. While it’s part of a chain, each restaurant has its own unique charm. This particular location stands out for its great ambiance and speedy service. I highly recommend the Korean chirashi with extra seaweed salad and spicy sauce on the side—just ask them to hold the lettuce. The presentation is stunning, and the flavors are exceptional. We'll definitely keep coming here for our date nights!

Sushi Garden is the best! Really good service, waiter came right away, super nice. Rolls were incredible, scenery was great. The fried tempura ice cream was one of the best desserts ever, super creamy and tastey.

Vegetarian options: Midori Michi, California roll

Kid-friendliness: Kids menu, fish tank and great drinks.

The portions are large and can make you feel full, and they are of good quality and low price.

Saba Shioyaki with crispy skin, Himachi Kama, fresh Uni, and all the rolls... made myself hungry just writing this now.
Hit and miss. Sometimes the food is amazing, and then, like today, I ordered the Korean noodles with seafood...octopus was rubbery, shrimp, scallop, and mussels were way over-cooked. The broth was just okay...same as the noodles. I can't recommend it. My wife's combo tempura was crispy on the outside and perfect on the inside...so hit and a miss for me.
