They have some decent vegan options. The teriyaki tofu (with cucumber salad), avocado cucumber roll, and slug roll (seaweed and mushroom) are all really good.
Nice outdoor seating area. Enclosed, with lights, radiant heaters, and screens that can be raised or lowered on request.

I say this with some hesitation, as my son worked at Sushi Garden in Capitola while going to school. In thankful for that. However, having since moved to Aptos I started frequenting Imura Japanese Restaurant in Watsonville. Unfortunately, this evening I stopped by Sushi Garden in Aptos Village. The comparison in cost is amazing. I order the exact same things each time I eat sushi, I know that's not necessarily adventurous but I know what I like. Point being that it levels the playing field when doing a comparison. My Bill at Sushi Garden is almost double the cost as that same meal at Imura Japanese Restaurant in watsonville and the service is different. Imura Japanese restaurant is managed and ran by adults, in fact the owner or adult manager are there every night and they actually really care about your dining experience. Two things beyond just Service and personal experience, again at Sushi Garden my Bill for the exact same items was almost double and when I received the bill with the suggested tips 18%, 20% and 22% it's calculated the tip not on the sub total but the total including the TAX. SO your tipping on state tax. It's like your getting the opportunity to thank the state of California each time you eat at Sushi Garden.
So to sum it up please keep frequenting all the Sushi Garden locations, pay twice to an operation that's operated hands off by High School students, pay twice what you should and then get shamed into tipping including tax just to boots your Bill!

Sushi was good along with service. No complaints with the establishment. Unfortunately last Saturday night before the end of dinner a "Karen" showed up. The staff & other guests encouraged her to go. Good job
