Service was a bit slow with one girl running the whole restaurant, getting orders and serving. Food was good. Baked mussels is yummy but it's not a whole mussel, it's more like imitation crab mixed with minced mussels. The ratio is less on the mussel portion. Th rolls are decent. I don't eat raw but my hubby does and states it's really good quality fish! So give it a try if you like quality fish!

Last night was our first time at this establishment and we were extremely impressed by the…read moreselection of rolls, the decent price point and the amazing service by the staff. We were celebrating my wife's 40th birthday and I had brought a cake in earlier in the day for them to bring out after dinner as a surprise. Kristi was our server and she made sure our overall experience was top notch. The sushi was better than average and I won't say the it's the best I've ever had just because we recently moved for the Bay Area and have become spoiled but it was really good sushi. While we couldn't make reservations because our party was too small, they offer plenty of tables and we were seated right away. They even had some specialty rolls we had not seen before so we'll definitely be back in the near future. Wonderful experience and thank you for making our celebration even better!

This place has changed several times over the years I have been going here. Most recently they have…read morechanged the decorations to a lot more relaxed with banners and screenings along with Japanese music and dinner lights. The sushi did have a downswing after their main chef left, but has become much better this year after a bit of a slump, going back to being fresh with good ingredients. Kristi is an excellent waitress and is always friendly when she is there as well. If you go during g lunchtime, it can be rather unpredictable if there's going to be a crowd or almost deserted, although it does tend to become busier after 1 PM. I particularly enjoy their Ika Karage when I go as a snack, and the food comes out pretty quickly as long as you don't hit the lunch crowd.

Our experience started out when we ordered $80 worth of take out sushi. Got home and found 2…read moremeasley small packets of wasabi and soy sauce. Furious, I called the restaurant. The owners wife Jeanette answered and talked to her husband (Francisco) the owner. They offered a ANY appetizer comped on the next order. I requested it to be a sushi dish instead but she specified that since they were offering any appetizer of our choosing it was fair. I agreed and gave them my info. A month later we placed a to go order and mentioned the appetizer and she confirmed that was correct. I go to pick it up and the owner comes out and says he will not honor that because the price of the appetizer was too high and pick something else. #1. That wasnt what they offered and we agreed to. #2. If you're not going to honor it why not call me and let me know so I don't drive there and waste my time again? He has my number. Edit: regarding the response below. If the intentions were to offer items up to a certain price then that should've been made clear. The problem was they clearly specified ANY APPETIZER of your choosing numerous times. And obviously they have a responsibility to address this when I placed the order/after instead of waiting for me to drive there.

Nice kick with the pepper. 5 stars Overall, love their sushi here and gotta explore other items on the menu. Staff is also very attentive. 5 stars

It's been literally 4 years since I've been to Umi (check my last review). With so many Japanese…read morerestaurants around, there are plenty to choose from. Decided to go back here since many of my staff love Umi Sushi. As for myself, my last bad experience (during COVID) I was content to not come back. But I'm always about giving places a second chance and decided to come here for lunch since I was treating for lunch. So first thing I learned was their 50% off sushi from Monday to Thursday during lunch hours. It definitely seems a big attraction since when we got here at noon, there was a lot of people eating. Menu of sushi can be overwhelming with 3 pages of sushi with photos. It was hard to know what to get just because it can take awhile to read the description for each sushi. So started first with spicy garlic edamame- 5 stars Basically edamame with a sriracha mayo sauce with sesame oil. Can be messy if you use your fingers. As for me, I usually use the chopsticks to grab the edamame and eat it there. It's pretty good. Nice kick. Would get it again I couldn't decide so went safe and got the super California roll which basically has unagi on top of the Cali roll center. Rice was soft but held the sushi well and overall, was satisfactory. Super Cali- 5 stars Tried the titanic roll- similar to the super Cali but was deep fried rolls so came later than all the others and was temperature hot. 4 stars The other rolls were Jayjay roll- had cream cheese so not something I would order The Miss Kim roll looked good and again similar to Mine but was topped with tuna. Overall, had a good meal. Staff was okay. They didn't check on us for refills and only came to give our check while some people are still eating Service - 3.5 stars Anyways, felt like an updated review was in order and have lifted my ban on eating at a place I said I wouldn't come back.

Ordered Hamachi/ Sashimi. Perfect slices, Not too thin or thick - like butter :) We were able to order off the 1/2 price menu ( Monday- Thursday) - score We ordered the Blue Ocean Roll - $8.85 It was good a bit too mild for our tastes. The J&H Roll - $8.95 Really Great - We Really Enjoyed this one . We had the Deluxe Spicy Tuna Roll -$13.95 So, Good ! Just the right Spice ! Our Son ordered the Orange Blossom Roll - $13.95 And the Orange Head Roll-$10.95 Which he really enjoyed. I liked the Ambiance of the restaurant- just a bit dim - for a relaxed vibe .

The place was packed. Interesting, when I arrived, the girl at the front told me "it's going to be a 20 minute wait" but there was a table, clean and no one sitting on it, so I told her "there's a table right there." slightly weird interaction but it's fine. My server was amazing. Super attentive and did an amazing job refilling my water. I got the dinner plate of the grilled salmon and tempura veggies. All tasted good, and for the price, I would say it's priced right. One odd thing was I given a to-go cup for my drink when everyone had glass drinks. Maybe they had ran out of glass drinks? Other than that, great experience lol

Been months since I came back to Sushi Garden but decided to give them a try since I was treating…read moremy cousin to lunch who was visiting me, and this place was close to my office. Came here on a Wednesday at 1 pm and there were tables available. It was 3 of us (wife joined for lunch), we all ordered the chicken teriyaki lunch plate. I have to tell you that it took way longer to get our meals than expected especially when it was not that busy. I only had an hour lunch (1-2pm) and it was close to 1:35 pm when we all got our order. I didn't look at when we placed our order but it was around 1 pm since we got there at 12:50 pm When I ate the chicken teriyaki it was literally cold. Not hot.. not even warm. It was likely sitting in the kitchen for minutes while waiting for some other item to be cooked (my guess was the tempura). I asked my wife and my cousin if their chicken was cold also and they confirmed it so. Also since I've being nitpicky, the 4 California roll that came with our lunch plate had avocado turning brown and very little of the crab meat on there. Pretty sad that the new owners have made the place go downhill since they took over. I shared this to my staff who were "loyal" sushi garden patrons when it was owned by the original owners, and they agree that it's not the same as before and have noticed the quality has declined. Not trying to hate but man, to wait for our lunch plates and having the main entree cold from sitting in the kitchen is a major turn off. No photos taken since I was in a rush to eat my meal and get to work before 2 pm.
