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.

Sushi Garden is my absolute favourite in all the lower mainland for sushi… good thing I live close by it
My fave roll is the Alaska roll — they do it differently than anywhere else I’ve seen and it’s to die for. Instead of the salmon being on the inside of the roll, it’s on the outside, on top of the roll, and the inside of the roll is lots of avocado goodness, but the best is that it’s topped off with a great onion tangy sauce! yummm…
Hi enitsug,
I have never tried the Alaska roll at Sushi Garden b/c I always just assumed it was the same as the other places. But now you have piqued my interest…I will have to try it out the next time I am there!
WORST SERVICE !!!!!
What you pay will be what you get —
Food is ok and inexpensive but you will get the worst service.
Trust me, the service in this restaurant is the worst one in town, the waitresses will treat you like dogs and totally out of respect.
Don’t ever try go there unless you believe you have the best temper on earth or in the best mood of your life that day, otherwise, you will be driven crazy by those ladies.
@Honest – Compared to some other places (hehe…Po King), I did not find the service at Sushi Garden to be very terrible. It is brisk and of course is not comparable to the fancier establishments around, but you are right in that you get what you pay for and I think the service I get at Sushi Garden is fair. That being said, I hope you are able to find another sushi restaurant that better suits your tastes and expectations.
