    Bento box ($19)
    Annie T.

    OVERALL 3.5 STARS ==Service: 4 stars== Someone greeted us when we walked in; we were able to order quickly; we received our food in a timely manner; and workers were very friendly. ==Food: 4 stars== My salmon was small but it tasted good. The deluxe roll was tasty and a decent size. The "basic" roll was small. The miso soup hit the spot on the cold night. My green tea was hot, but I was surprised to see the charge on my check. ==Venue/ambiance: 3 stars== Cute casual place with outdoor seating but it is very small with no bathrooms. ==Location: 4 stars== Easy parking; easy to find; lots of shops nearby ==Cleanliness: 2.5 stars== There were menu "placemats" on the tables though they didn't look clean (ie, there was a scallion or something green on one), so we moved them. We noticed customers at other tables moved theirs too. Also, the disorganization made the place feel unkempt (ie, piece of wood and iPad mini over the door with electric cables haphazardly spilling over looked unsightly and unsafe). Overall I think Wasabi Sushi is worth giving a try if you're in the area or a local. The people who work here are nice and the food is tasty! For me, it will be a great takeout place, and I will be back!

    Great service and food. Finally a sushi spot priced right. Last minute decision to eat here and didn't regret it. Will definitely be back.

    This is the Lion King roll and it's so amazingly delicious.  Gotta try it.

    New owners, not the same quality. Better off going to sushi garden for awesome sushi.

    I tried it multiple times and every time it was amazing! I got bento box for lunch and portion is huge! Generous amount of filling in sushi. It's also very fresh and tasty. One of the best sushi around!

    Very cute little place in a strip mall by the Capitola Mall. You can order to go or eat at the tables inside and out. Sushi tasted fresh and had the right amount of garnish. The server was very nice and helpful.

    Honeymoon roll
    Terry R.

    Rolls are large in size and packed with flavor. I especially appreciated the veggie tempura roll which was perfectly battered and had the most satisfying crunch! The special veggie, honeymoon, Spider Tempura Roll, salmon sushi and baked salmon roll were also a hit. The Miso soup was nice and hot with well balanced flavors. The poke bowl was not my husbands favorite with the seaweed causing the rice to go soggy . Restaurant is small with indoor and outdoor seating, clean with a casual ambiance. Service was friendly and fast and we look forward to returning the next time we are in the Santa Cruz area!

    Hello new favorite asian restauraunt in all of santa cruz county / norcal coast?? Sushi Garden has…read moreextremely fresh and clean cuts of fish and has a super cute garden with a koi pond and an inviting outdoor patio seating!! Inside, natural light floods in through giant windows overlooking the garden. Time to try sushi: - Chirashi - Sushi Garden Special (sashimi + nigiri combo) The fish is incredibly fresh and clean! For either of these, you get thick cuts of buttery melt-in-your-mouth fresh salmon, toro (tuna belly), hamachi. There were other cuts of fish but these truly stood out. For such premium cuts, it's a pretty good deal! Their tamago/egg was tasty and sweet - delicious. The rice itself could use a bit more flavor, but the rolls, on the other hand, were so deliciously flavorful! Overall, the sauces on all the rolls delivered excellent flavor. Not too heavy, salty, or spicy. Great balance and ratio of fish : rice : sauce. the ROLLS we got: - Magic Dragon - This is like a spicier dragon. Great combo of spicy and sweet. Yum! - Trio (from the special menu) - A lighter, all-protein option with no rice. Again, quality buttery salmon right here. - Dr. Woo's - yellowtail inside with albacore outside, great combo with spicy mayo - Volcano roll - spicy tuna topped with seared salmon - like when salmon gets slightly seared, it absolutely is the best! All the rolls were great, but the Magic Dragon and Volcano Roll were my favorites because their flavor profiles were chefs kiss. The staff was incredibly nice and generous. This local establishment has been a staple here for years! Their menu is massive, and while the names of the rolls could be more straightforward, their website has pictures, which helps! They truly have options for everyone, from classic to fusion. Btw free parking! Huge lot.

    Fun ambiance. Staff is always friendly. Sushi, udon, delish. Today I got the seafood udon noodle…read moresoup. Salad comes with it. Edamame is complimentary.

I honestly haven't stopped thinking about it. The chow mein was also piping hot and extremely fragrant of garlic as the plate was set in front of me. I haven't stopped thinking of that succulent steam facial, either. I also had a root beer. Life should always be perfect tempura and your favorite soda. The service was great as well. They replied with a genuine "enjoy" to each of my "thank-you's", and also spoke very kindly and gave great service to the considerably under-spoken guy at the booth next to mine. Con: The place is old as dirt and needs to be gutted. I don't think it was 'sticky' tablecloth dirty, but I was pleasantly surprised that the bathroom was very clean and tidied. The smell when I entered the restaurant quickly let me know that something was wrong with the sewer lines, or something. Like, I almost left before anyone saw me stroll into the empty place, ok? There was a gal who was walking in to scope the place out for she and her friends as I was leaving. She didn't stay. I was waiting for an Uber as she hightailed it back to her car declaring "Well, I guess I haven't been there in a while..." into her phone. Overall, I'm glad I stayed to give an old place a new try for the first time in... 15 years? Not surprised that all of the orders were being picked up by DoorDash, etc, but also not surprised at how many orders were being pickup up, one after another. I need tempura and rooty beer this week. Not sure if I'd ever be brave enough to give their sushi menu a try, though.

    **Overall: 4.2 stars**…read more Think local, surfer beach aloha vibe. You order at the counter or on the one kiosk. When I went, no one was in line, so the friendly staffer greeted us and told us she could take our order. When I was debating between 2 dishes, she described the salmon and that sealed my decision - haha. Order, ready! The portions were HUUUGE! The dishes were delicious! I can't get over how tender and flavorful my salmon was, yet the skin was crispy! (I don't usually eat the skin, but I did! That tells you how well they cooked it!) The chicken katsu had TWO layers of chicken! And each lunch plate had two scoops of rice and one scoop of Mac salad. They tasted like traditional Hawaiian cuisine. We sat outside on the main patio so we could be in the sun and watch the cars and passerby's from the beach. It was so nice to be a couple blocks from the ocean. The only negatives -- though small ones -- were parking is street parking because they only have two onsite spots, and they are super casual dining (like it's common to see customers in bathing suits and flip flops here), so it may not be a place to go if you're on a date or wanting to take out of towners or clients. It's a place to get great local Hawaiian food! Aloha Island Grille may just be my new favorite Hawaiian spot.
