Walked in nearly all of the tables were dirty, with plates on them. We had to request that our table was washed. Service was extremely slow and not friendly. The bill came and was SIGNIFICANTLY more expensive than the prices listed for the dinner all you can eat. The bill made no sense especially with 2 children eating. Will not be going back, don't recommend this restaurant. There's better sushi places in the area.

Beware: they list a price on the menu then charge you a higher price on your bill, and they’ll give you a hidden service charge. So prepare for your bill to be significantly higher than you thought.

My wife and I LOVE this place! Here's what you need to know (all info current as of 7/12/25):
The lunch buffet is from 11-3p Monday-Saturday. Sunday is Dinner menu/price all day. The lunch price is only $15.99 for all you can eat! Items included with lunch are shown in the photo of the paper menu. Dinner is $24.99 AYCE and includes everything shown in the photos of the color menu.
Select your seat and make yourself comfortable. Angela will most likely be your server. She is awesome and works hard - please tip her well! Menus will be given to you - just make your selection, and your food will be brought to you.
The crab rangoon are the best I've had anywhere! The dough is light and crispy, and the sweet and sour sauce is very flavorful and has good character (not like the plain red goo you get everywhere else). I also love their ginger salad and gyoza.
We've always been very pleased with the quality of the sushi here and think it's delish! I highly recommend the sweet potato rolls as well as the TNT or Dynamite rolls!

Well I happen to go here by mistake, I really wanted Japanese Fusion but after calling in my order for the Valcano Roll, once I got there all the way from South Bend near airport in 90 degree weather the young lady proceeded to tell me that I ordered something different, when I called in my order she knew me by name I ALWAYS ORDER THE VALCANO ROLL NOTHING ELSE. With that being said I was hot literally and annoyed, so I call this place once I got there I was a little concerned because of the very dirty Glass Door also dirty entrance, to my surprise the Valcano Roll I got here is probably the Best I've had yet. Just clean you doors windows and the entrance first appearance usually says alot

Went for lunch for the first time. I asked the Waitress if it was all you can eat and she said yes. I received my bill and it was almost $100. I would not have ordered so much if I knew it was a la carte. I do not plan on going back and have already told others about my experience.

My wife and I ate here today been here before a couple of years ago it it was excellent now it’s honestly trash. Services was terrible food was terrible honestly got sick. The sushi tasted like it was old. I also should have known better when they guy serving us was also the guy make the sushi. So needless to say it was a waste of money and we didn’t even eat our food. We asked for the check and got a little bit of an attitude and that was kinda shitty then you ask for a manager and there’s not one there… all in all we will never be back and that’s unfortunate

The food is good, only the sushi but they take a long time to serve and you can eat as much as you want for 24.95 but you have to finish everything you order because otherwise they will charge you for whatever you leave.
Vegetarian options: It's just Sushi.

The AYCE prices were so much cheaper than Chicago which I appreciated! Everything was overall delicious and I was glad there was AYCE! The portion per order in the all-you-can-eat options was perfect. My favorite roll was the Dynamite Roll.
I wish they had sashimi/ raw salmon and others without the rice. Regardless, I would definitely come back if I’m near the area.
Food is pretty good and the all-you-can-eat option is nice too. But the room's temperature is horrifying. Somehow it's too cold for summertime, let alone wintertime. It makes me wish we were still going through COVID so I could cover my face with a mask while waiting, and not breathe in the frigid air. Plus, sushi isn't a hot food, so the only brief respite is during appetizers, consuming a warm bowl of soup or some scalding harumaki.

Sushi Garden was easily my favorite sushi restaurant until now. The wait staff that was there when I first started going was wonderful. Nowadays you barely get any service, get a 4 dollar service fee tacked on for no reason, and are given an attitude when you ask about a fee that had never been there in previous visits. Their food’s fantastic, but it would be better to just order it to go.

First time getting sushi in south bend and overall wasnt a bad first visit. The hostess Angela provided excellent service and my to go order was prepared to expectation. The sashimi/nigiri is way over priced here and thats my main jam but otherwise the rolls were good and I enjoyed my meal
