Ho Yummy

Jenkins and I always like to go to Sushi Garden when we are in the area, but the timing always has to be right. We always go at non-peak times because otherwise, you can be guaranteed of a long wait…which we hate. It is located at 4635 Kingsway, across from Metrotown mall.

We were both quite hungry this day so we picked the medium sushi combo, which is meant for 2-3 people. It came with a selection of nigiri sushi and rolls. Our food came pretty quickly. First was the selection of nigiri sushi. We had ebi, surf clams, salmon, tuna, and tobiko. The pieces of salmon and tuna were very large and tasted very fresh.

Next came the BC and Dynamite rolls. I am not a huge fan of BC rolls but this time, it was not so bad. The salmon skin was not too overwhelming and it also had some crab meat, which was different from what I was accustomed to. The dynamite roll was also very tasty.

The last tray of rolls was chopped scallop and California rolls. The chopped scallop roll was very tasty and stuffed with scallops and crunchy tobiko. I liked that there was not too much mayo here. The California roll was also very tasty and was what you would expect from California rolls.

For the most part, Sushi Garden is not really innovative in their food but you can always expect large portions and very fresh sushi. One thing they are not known for is their service. They normally only have two servers for a relatively large and busy dining space and your best bet is to wave down the server whenever you can. It’s definitely the food, and not the service, that keeps me coming back.
