I used to love Sushi Garden when it was located at Foothills Mall, just outside the food court. It was one of my favorite places to have dinner for many years. The food was always fresh, delicious, and consistent. After they moved to their current location when the mall was torn down, I gave them a try. The first visit was disappointing because the food tasted completely different. I thought maybe it was just an off day, so I went back about a year later to give them another chance. Unfortunately, it was even worse. I ordered the yakisoba with udon noodles, a tempura California roll, and tempura vegetables. Everything was so disappointing. The sushi was mushy, and the noodles were also soft and mushy. The quality was nothing like I remembered. I'm really sad because this used to be one of my favorite sushi restaurants. I don't plan on going back. I'm curious if they changed owners or hired a new chef after they moved, because the food seems completely different from what it used to be. read more

Delicious! Attentive service. I loved the ambiance, background music, and the interior design. The ear tone dining area had comfy green cushions (sit in between them). read more

Sushi Garden used to be my go-to sushi spot so I was excited to see they moved and I actually really enjoyed the interior of the new location. The service was good. I ordered the crab puffs, jalapeno poppers, a Philly roll, Vegas roll, and a baked California roll. Everything tasted good but for some reason it didn't quite live up to how I remembered it. I also wish they still offered the all-you-can-eat deal. I'm not sure I can call it my favorite spot anymore but it's still good and I'd come back. read more

My son and I have been saying for a while we got to check this Sushi place out. We ordered takeout. First time here and I was not disappointed, very impressed, excellent service and friendly, great sushi and very fresh. The atmosphere was excellent, I told my son next time we say for dinner here. We'll be back!!! read more

I wanted to like this place more, I really did. Our server Maki was very sweet, and attentive without being a helicopter. But I have a couple gripes: We asked to be seated on the patio, and we were, but the material of the seats on the patio is something that felt like it could burn you through pants in March. I can't imagine sitting outside, misters or fans not withstanding, in a Tucson summer. When we moved ourselves to seating that was shaded, the hostess decided to come and snark at us for doing so. Something really off-putting and brings this to a three instead of a four is the mildly NSFW manga content in the bathroom. I thought the concept and wallpapering was a pretty cool interior decorating idea I hadn't seen before. However, this intrigue was my downfall. I saw a couple series I recognized, and within the minute I was using the restroom, saw aforementioned NSFW panels. How many pairs of eyes did that go through before it was decided to be put in BOTH bathrooms? As far as food is concerned, I ordered the salted edamame (not pictured), salmon sashimi, rainbow roll, baja jalapeño roll, and mountain roll. I am of the belief you can't mess up edamame or a rainbow roll, which proved to be true for Sushi Garden as well. The sashimi was very buttery, and I really enjoyed the portion size. If you are a person who likes to mix fruit and raw fish, the mountain roll is a good choice, but the baja jalapeño roll tastes like a jalapeño popper had an unfortunate union with a California roll. Not for me, but that isn't something I would have taken in to account for my review. read more

Everything was wonderful! I was a little nervous about the reviews but we decided to go anyway and glad we did. Super modern and clean and im pretty sure this is at a slightly different location from what I remember years ago? There is alot of construction here so its possible they are in a new building. Our waiter was quick and very friendly. I would come back for happy hour or date night. The sushi was so yummy! We got a few different rolls and they were all pretty tasty read more

Great food, service and the ambiance is super cute and clean! They have such a great variety of rolls to pick from.

Bombzeeeee! Always the best. Best service. Best food. Best place to be. I always love coming to this location and restaurant. The servers and boss check up on you to make sure you're good which I appreciate. Food doesn't take too long to come out. I love the way they designed the restaurant too. The open bar is cool too. I came here to take some notes and sat at the bar. Was really nice. Food was great. Got crab cucumber salad, spicy mayo and lemons. Then a Philly roll. Perfect lunch read more

Sushi Garden - Crab Cucumber Salad - Japanese Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

We were seated right away without having to wait. They have a great selection of different menu items including sushi, noodles, tempura, soups, sashimi, etc. This place can get busy and it did seem like they might need to number the tables for orders on the weekend since the servers bringing out the food did not always know what table items went to. We never ended up getting our edamame order, but the seared red ahi tuna with avocado and salmon sashimi were both good. They give you fairly large portions of sashimi which is nice. The cucumber salad was just okay. My spouse enjoyed the poke bowl as well. read more

Food was tasty, but cold when served, veggies way under cooked. Waitress was very busy, so didn't tell her. This is very much like a cafeteria, so if you're looking for peaceful ambiance, this isn't it. read more

I went there and had 3 rolls that were bomb Really loved it me and my family ate everybody enjoyed again

They've got some amazing salads on the menu that set them apart from the other Sushi restaurants in town.

Sushi garden at spectrum was a total disappointment!! While being half empty, we asked for a table for 10 and were told there was a 30 minute wait! We could clearly see the empty tables, we were told it would be to crammed, we told them we would be ok, then it became a fire hazard? In the end they didn't show any desire to make our visit welcomed nor acknowledged. Wouldn't recommend to anyone! read more

It's the battle of sushi restaurants in Oro Valley. I ate at both in just two weeks. Feel free to read my Sushi Valley one on Yelp. At SG, we ordered the garden roll, veggie tempura, and the shrimp with stir-fried veggies meal. From an ambiance standpoint, SG dominates over SV. A point to SG. Service wise, I'm going slightly to SG. Another point. The garden roll consists of avocado, pickled mountain carrots, wrapped in seaweed, and rice. It comes with a Jalapeno Honey Sauce and some other sauce they do not mention on the menu. It also comes with ginger and Wasabi. I liked the rolls, but a dip in the sauce is a must. I couldn't tell you what the red dollops were because I couldn't figure out the flavor. The green was a winner, a bit of this will take it to a higher level of intense, and with a tiny bit of Wasabi a total ping. HUGE WIN. I didn't try any roll at SV. The Veggie tempura at SG was a fail. I found it more greasy than SV, and the veggies were a mix. The usual fare sans eggplant. The sauce will be a huge miss. It was nothing more than soy sauce. Why? SV had some type plum sauce that worked. SV wins a point. The main meal. Again, the dipping sauce was soy sauce with scallions. Why? Has anyone at SG dipped shrimp into it? Fail. The shrimp were small, nicely seasoned, and plenty for one. The stir fry veggies were disgusting. First, they are under the shrimp. Secondly, it looked like wilted cabbage, a couple of sliced/julienne carrots, and one other item I already forgot. No sauce, no flavor, and seriously, they should be embarrassed by serving that. I initially had fried rice with it, which costs about 2 bucks more, but when it showed up, it has corn in it, and with my allergy to corn, no go. They were nice to switch it out to plain white rice. Total cost for the meal with ice tea and Diet Coke wad about $52 with tax. read more

I was not pleased by any means with the sushi I was presented with at Sushi Garden. I ordered the Shrimp Tempura Roll and the Volcano Roll for my dinner and was excited to say the least until the food arrived to my table. The Shrimp Tempura Roll should just be called Tempura Roll because 2/6 pieces on my plate were just Tempura batter and no shrimp, WHAT A RIP OFF. Not to mention the shrimp was cold, every other place I have been to has served their Tempura Shrimp warm. The Volcano roll was tolerable but far from excellent. The miso soup was the best part of my experience because it was actually delicious. The service was good and the manager who greeted us at the door was very welcoming and friendly. I just have a problem with paying for poor quality food. I will not be returning to this establishment. read more

Sushi Garden - 46$ for 4 huge rolls and crab puff appetizer is quite a deal. Also got eel and jalapeño bomb. - Japanese Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Went to Sushi Garden today and it was a complete disaster. Waited forever for our order, which arrived wrong anyway. Our server, Stephanie, was difficult to communicate with throughout. My wife ordered an expensive special roll, and we specifically asked if it was too spicy since we can't handle much heat. Stephanie assured us none of the rolls are really that spicy--it was a lie. The roll was so fiery it made my eyes water and my tongue burn badly. When I spoke to the manager about it, he was rude, dismissive, and offered no apology or resolution. No one cared or did anything to fix it. Skip this spot; there are better sushi options out there. read more

I don't know how busy this place gets, but we were seated right away when we got in. We're lucky to have a very good server. I kinda doubt the authenticity of their food cause I don't see any Japanese chef, at the sushi bar. But the maki/roll is pretty good. I had the Pork ramen, and it was okay. But if you are looking for a fine dining experience, this is not the place for you. read more

My rating is strictly for the new location and my salad. I thought the new restaurant is beautiful inside and out. The patio was perfect tonight since it was warm outside today. Service was somewhat slow. I'm not a big fan of their sushi but I was with a friend who loves the Baja roll, so I got the teriyaki chicken salad. I didn't use the teriyaki sauce but I did use the ginger dressing and it was light and delicious. My salad had some black/bad lettuce but otherwise I really enjoyed it. There were no carrots like the menu mentions. read more

Being a Tucson native, I might be a little biased, but I love sushi Garden. I'm also digging the new location by the foothills mall. The decor is modern and hip. I enjoy all the rolls, but my favorite is the Baja roll. If you're looking for something different this is it. read more

I am really happy with this place. I guess it is a chain, but I didn't know it by the quality of the food. I have found almost too many delicious options, it was very difficult to choose! I've eaten here several times at this point, and all I can say is that their special rolls are the bomb. Everyone I go with with shares, so honestly I can't remember what I got, and what everyone else did, but we were all very happy. I also want to say that we TOOK OVER this place with about 15 people and no notice on a Friday night, and the staff were absolutely wonderful about it. No complaints from them, incredible attentiveness, very patient with our unfamiliarity with their menu. I can't say that you can do the same at this point, it has become really popular, but I can say you will find good quality fish here (hard to find in Tucson), wonderful staff and a warm atmosphere. read more

Hard to be chipper/work the Monday after a long holiday but the people were quick to serve us! Ordered - kids yakisoba bento box (rice, orange slices, yakisoba, and edamame) - rainbow roll - mixed tempura - lollipop roll All the fish was tasty and fresh. Lollipop roll needed a different sauce like maybe creamy/spicy BUT tons of fish in a nearly two inch diameter roll. Tempura was slightly slightly more greasy than I'd like but a lot more came out than expected and the veggie pieces were huge. The yakisoba bento box was plenty of food for a kid's meal. read more

My friend and I were in last night had such a wonderful experience. I wish I could remember our server's name because he was incredible!Top notch service. He was very attentive and went above and beyond. We felt very well taken care of! The server's assistants were amazing as well taking care that our table was tidy at all times. The bartender even stopped by while out on the floor. We were commenting we had not had service like this in a long time! I had a Poke bowl and my friend had a couple of Sushi rolls. Both were beautifully presented, fresh and delicious! Atmosphere was bright, cheery and clean. Thank you all for a delightful evening. We will definitely be back! read more

Absolutely love the decor of the restaurant. Kudos to the designer! Spacious with a nice terrace seating. Service was nice too. Quick to be seated, server came right away, food was quick also. As for the food, I would say this is a good "Americanized Japanese" restaurant. They have good selection of sushi rolls. I didn't order any bc that's not really what I go for. If you like sushi rolls, you will probably like this place. We ordered sashimi plate, tempura, monkey brain and tonkatsu. They were all ok. read more

Just had lunch and the service was lacking. Food sat on the counter while our server was just chatting with other servers. When she did deliver the food, she slammed the plates down. Sushi was mid. Not likely to return. read more

Met a friend for lunch and I only had an hour. The place was totally empty so that sort of made me nervous. We were told to sit anywhere and quickly loaded the menus on our phones. We each ordered the nigiri with a roll lunch item. I got spicy tuna and my friend got the tempura roll. Her roll came out within minutes. It was a really long time before my roll or the rest of the food came out. Like 20 minutes after the first. The food itself was decent. Nothing out of the ordinary but good. I had to wave the waitress down for our check as I had to be back at work. I'll probably go back again but only if I have more time. read more

So when your server says , " i think its best fried rice in tow" You must try the rice , Ill tell you what it got in my top 3 combination fried rice Im a big fried rice fan and it was very good , the steak was really good in flavor as well as the chicken , most of all i in the past years stopped liking so much shrimp ive become picky with it , and let me tell you this shrimp was FIREEEE !!! I honestly almost bought another entree , Give it up to Brandon for actually saying MARIA is in the kitchen & she cooks the best in town , i said okay okay lets see what she has and man she reminds me of a westside story cause that rice was killer !!! The sushi was very good super fresh and good size portions Id go back again for sure and soon , The beers were in baby pitchers for 10$ not bad , Bartender was a hit he knew just how to pour them We sat outside with the misters on and sun shades down it was pretty damn nice outside for being in tucsons hot season . Overall 5 star place i love it here now read more

It had been a while since we had been to sushi Garden, and the new location and ambience was absolutely perfect. The only thing I wish they still had was all you can eat, but we were still able to find some amazing things on the menu. I had the spicy salmon rice bowl and it was delicious. It needed a bit more sauce, which I asked for, and they gladly provided that for me. Our server was very accommodating and got us everything we needed. We will be going back. read more

Once more the squid salad is just so and going downhill. To go orders are served in a medium size container. The salad used to be half full and now is barely a quarter full. The latest additions of some kind of slimy green stuff really takes away from the way it used to be some months ago. Very disappointin. read more

Delicious!!! I was so hungry I didn't think of taking a picture until it was all gone.

My boyfriend and I went on a Saturday night and the parking lot was pretty full. However, there were plenty of available tables and we didn't wait to be sat. The restaurant looks clean and newer with modern decor. We ordered the spicy edamame and salmon nigiri to start which were both good. We also tried the Homare Strawberry Nigori which is my boyfriend's new favorite sake. For dinner we ordered the Spanish Roll (okay, too much lemon), Firecracker Roll (good, a lot of bang for your buck), Fatboy Roll (my favorite), and the Arizona Roll (yummy). We have few rolls we can't wait to try next time! read more

Everytime I go to the location at Foothills Mall, I leave wishing I never did. The people are not friendly. Our takeout order is always messed up, and they don't care. They are constantly hiring all new staff and it doesn't seem to be a very nice environment any more. We used to go multiple times a week but now haven't gone in about a year. Won't be back. read more

Can confidently say I will never eat from here again. The front hostess was incredibly nice, but the food quality and taste is lacking A LOT. I ordered takeout and when I got home realized my "monkey brain" the avocado was rotten, it wasn't just one piece of the avocado rotten, it was the entire thing. And the soup was bland, like no flavor whatsoever. read more

New to town and have been a dine in guest two times now. First time was okay. Server was great. Second time the food was great. Found some great menu items. Very happy the second visit. Our server was so nice. This weekend we ordered take out. Order a few items, take out is never as good as done in. But we were pleasantly surprised. I arrived early to retrieve our order and they were very gracious and offer me a seat while I wait. They offered me a beverage and when my order was ready it was brought right out to me. The staff and what I believed to be the owner were very gracious and friendly. Nice to see a crowded restaurant on a Friday evening. We will continue to support this local restaurant. Keep up the great work!! read more
