Salmon platter
Alex V.

This is an outstanding restaurant. I met some friends after work and I was the one that recommended this place since I've been here several times. They provide a nice atmosphere, it's a great location for lunch or dinner with plenty of nearby stores. The food quality is excellent and fresh. The menu is absolutely huge. Love the appetizers, I ordered the salmon platter and it was delicious! The price is about right for the portion-sizes. Japanese food is a good source of protein and can be part of a healthy diet that includes; fresh vegetables and salmon. Thank you for the hospitality, I look forward to my next visit.

Appetizer platter and two (50) piece assorted sushi platter.

Great service for ordering and catering! They catered one of our most recent events. They called me to ensure they offered new upgraded menu items! I love the pictures of all the rolls on their website. Simple fast online ordering. Catering is real hard in Watsonville too especially nice bite size food platers and they were perfect and fast! They even accommodated my timing getting my order done before they opened! Very nice over the phone as well. It's nice to have something other than sandwiches and tacos in this small town.

I visited Sushi Garden for dinner two nights in a row during a business trip with my team leader, and we were both truly impressed. Everything we had--from grilled fish and sushi to sashimi--was exceptionally fresh and flavorful. The chef even prepared a special dish for us, which was absolutely delicious. Whether you're in town for business, with family, or celebrating with friends, this place is sure to satisfy. Highly recommended!

Sooooo...delicious! You gotta drive here if you're not close by! I was giving my elderly mother some food choices as we drove through Watsonville. I went to charge my Tesla near the Target store and found Sushi Garden! Se Jin was our server! He was super, polite, professional, and quick. The food was delicious! There are 3 Sushi Garden restaurants in the area. I had a great lunch in Watsonville! I'll be back!!!

The two dinners and the suxpshi we ordered.

I ordered two dinners online to go but when I got them home, there was only the tempura and soup, no rice or salad. When I called I finally hung up after waiting on the phone for 15 minutes.

The. Largest. Portion. Ever. In any restaurant and especially in a Japanese restaurant. We were in Watsonville and were looking for a place for dinner. Their grilled yellowtail jaw was amazing (again really big!) Delicious seafood salad with squid. Very fresh. The salmon dish was huge and juicy. Agedashi tofu was really nice, crispy and not smothered in sauce (Sauce is on the side). The seared tuna was wonderful. Fast and friendly service, though the waiter misled us a bit. We asked him about the size of the appetizers and he told us they were small. In reality the appetizers were entree sized. Gigantic. We ordered too much food. Luckily our hotel room had a fridge and microwave.

Love the decorations here

Tempura Meal

Shout out to Sushi Garden in Watsonville. Went today for the 2nd time with my toddler daughter and mom w Alz. It was chaos tbh- us, not the restaurant. Kiddo is tossing her (empty) miso soup bowl, mom is asking for ketchup with her tempura, tea was spilled, mess was made. They were so nice about everything. (Don't worry we tipped extra well) The food was really good. Mom had the shrimp tempura plate and I had a combo w Kal Bi and Tempura Combination. They gave us edamame when we sat down as well. Everything we ate was cooked so can't comment on the raw fish. The place was busy but not crowded. Solid service. Will definitely return!

galaxy roll

Arrived here the last hour of their lunch and the service was great. The food was fresh and delicious. I got my go to roll, which is the galaxy roll. The teriyaki beef is also delicious because it was very tender. I like the atmosphere.

OohLaLa Roll, must try!

Came in for dinner Saturday night to find the restaurant half full. We drive 30 minutes to this location as we aren't fond of sushi restaurants near home. My 6 and 4 year olds enjoy the teriyaki beef here along with the green salad, miso soup and complimentary edamame. It took the waitress about 15 minutes to acknowledge us and take our order. We ordered the two item bento for my oldest boy, a three item bento for my husband, myself and youngest to share and two rolls for us adults. We had to request the edamame as it wasn't brought to us initially. Once the food arrived we found ourselves having to remind our waitress of items missing and were surprised to find that ginger and wasabi are not plated with the sushi. Our waitress seemed to be ignoring her tables a lot and we overheard many disgruntled customers who felt the service was horrible with the same waitress. While we agreed, we kept getting the attention of the other available waitress who quickly responded and attended anyone she could with a smile. Due to this one super helpful waitress and the tasty and awesome portions we rated last nights experience with a 3 star. It's unfortunate because we really enjoy this place but we hope it was just an off night.

After raving reviews we thought to try out this place. place itself is vibrant, live music and…read moredecor gives you a vibe. We were 2 adults 2 kids. they give complementary chips and salsa. mind you the salsa bowl was so small we had to ask for 3-4 refills during our dinner, which was kind of let down since you had to wait until someone either checks on you or you somehow manage to get their attention Food was good nothing extraordinary based on what we order. veggie tacos and from kids menu bean and cheese burrito and Enchiladas (somehow order got mixed up and we got cheese qusedilla instead) Drinks were good.

This is one of my hubby's favorite spots here in Watsonville and he had to bring us!…read more Parking is limited, so be prepared. There is a tiny lot in the back, and spots on the street. The atmosphere is nice. Clean, not too loud, friendly staff greeting you, and a beautiful bar as the focal point. We were sat inside near a beautiful fireplace... we were by the open door that led to the patio so it was a bit chilly and would have been nice if the fireplace were on lol. Our server was very polite and didn't rush us when deciding on what we wanted to order. There were a few questions, and he answered them all without hesitation. I ordered a carne asada chimichanga and I wish one of my questions would have been if it came wet or not. Just in case you're wondering, it comes wet. It's my fault for assuming and not asking. If I would have known, I would have ordered it dry. Honestly it was like a regular wet burrito and not a chimichanga. Because of the sauce, it took all of the crispness away. The sauce on top had very good flavor, and the meat was tender and delicious. My daughter ordered shredded beef tacos and shredded chicken tacos came out instead. She wasn't going to say anything but the server who delivered our food noticed her face and asked if there was something wrong. I told him she ordered beef and got chicken. He was so sweet and apologetic and within minutes fresh hot beef tacos were in front of her, and she loved them! I'm mentioning this not because of the mixup, but because of how quickly it was resolved and how nice both servers were. My hubs always gets the fajita trio. Beef, chicken, and shrimp. He has told me in the past how much he loves this dish and tonight I got to see this affection firsthand haha.... within minutes his plate was clean!!! I managed to snag a shrimp without losing a finger and now I know why he loves it so much! The flavor was really good and the shrimp was plump and perfectly cooked. The food came out after a good amount of time after we ordered and we never felt rushed. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. This is a place that we will frequent from now on whenever we come to visit.
