Sushi Garden

We had a fried salmon roll (not tempura) and a spicy salmon roll. Both came very quick and tasted like the real stuff, although they were smaller than what I'm used to (I guess they stil need to grow up :P). Then there's the vegetable tempura which I found to be delicious. Service was very good and prices were okay (I did not expect such small rolls for that price).

u have a phone number for them?

You can expect it to change a few more times. They're listening to people's opinions and change according to that.
