Went this past week back to sushi garden and sushi mataki (in rechavia )
And have total opposite reviews of what it was like two months ago!!
Suhi garden was very good now in all areas- a major improvement in service and the food itself! +1

Sushi mataki on other hand went way down IMO,
The good took long to come out, waiter was spaced (didn't give us sauces, even after asking twice, and gave us wrong roll, and after telling us would be on the house, he wanted to charge us for it and give us another roll instead) and was not as impressed with the food in general (as I was last time)..

I know I have said the opposite earlier,  but guess that's how these things work here in Israel...
Just my opinion...
