The food was decent enough but the atmosphere was zero. The waiter was more concerned with dealing with delivery orders rather than the diners, so it was difficult to get their attention, even though the restaurant wasn’t that busy. Couldn’t have the bellini cocktail I wanted and was bluntly told there were no peaches. Of about seven items on the dessert menu, only one was available. And the music was atrocious!

The food is really some of the very best you’ll find. Well cooked, fresh etc but our experience tonight wasn’t great. We booked our table for 1:45 mins. Orders were taken and lovely food eaten (£230 ish for 3) then we tried to order some more food ( an hour into our meal) - sushi, gyoza and yakatori and was told that because a table of 10 was due ( but not yet arrived) we had to wait 40 mins. It was all a bit bizarre and we were left feeling they just wanted rid of us. Maybe trying to turn the table as all were now booked/busy.been here loads before and never found it like this,

The sushi menu is creative with lots of interesting options. We had spicy tuna rolls and Tiger rolls (salmon, crab and avocado with crispy shallots) along with some excellent nigiri, miso soup and vegetable tempura. All of which was beautifully presented and very tasty. Excellent chocolate mousse for dessert too. Attentive and friendly staff. The music would not be my choice for this establishment but that’s a matter of preference!

This place has been sliding for a while, used to be run by a lovely Italian man that was always so hospitable. Now the staff are dismissive ungrateful and can make the sit in experience pretty awful if you make the mistake of going there for the atmosphere. Expect the new manager to be abrasive and dismissive. Also they are not above arguing with suppliers on the phone within ear shot when you sit in for a meal. Or making you wait while they have a long chat on the phone when you pop in for lunch. This particular time I ordered a takeaway collection expecting the usual -10% off for being bothered to save them on delivery costs and pick it up. (Also because delivery can take so long usually) Apparently if you use the app you can collect points, but they no longer do this offer for collection so two ramen will set you back £28 which is a little steep in comparison to other local takeaways in the surrounding area. Obviously he could have given a curtesy discount to returning custom to encourage custom, but decided as usual to say in his usual dismissive style we don’t do that any more. Then I get home with one of their flyers in the bag saying have -10% off your first order via our app. So obviously I’m the fool for ringing in the order, but this wasn’t mentioned during my exchange. I usually order direct rather then using a third party delivery app that take huge % of the cost for the business. But you’d think they’d try and encourage people to order directly and feel valued. Honestly I think he hates his job! The food is decent but not incredible, you’d at least think they would be more accommodating for repeated customers when your resturant is empty. But honestly that is just how the new staff roll, I might check back another time if they have found a more suitable job for their front of house or got a new one. Been one two many disappointing meals of recent.

We had a lovely family meal, myself and 2 children aged 8 and 10, who loved the children’s tempura fish fingers and chicken katsu. The salmon nigiri and tempura prawns were delicious, as were the deserts. Very good and friendly service, and welcoming atmosphere on an early Saturday evening

Got a takeaway from sushi garden and the food was absolutely delicious. It was ready in 25 mins and the food was still warm when we got home. We ordered a variety of different sides including vegetable sushi, gyozas, and tempura vegetables which are all lovely. They also gave us loads of different sauces. My main was the vegetable Katsu curry which was so tasty with a great portion size. I would highly recommend sushi garden for vegetarians!

Problem with take away delivery, it was my fault as I gave wrong phone number. However the man I spoke to was very lacking in basic manners. We won’t be ordering from here again. Shame as the food is good.

We had a very nice meal in Sushi Garden for a birthday. The food was excellent as was the service. We felt comfortable al evening, there was no pressure at any point, and we were able to try many sections of the menu - all of which were very nice. The price was also very reasonable. The service was attentive without being pushy. The dishes were very well presented and this is an excellent addition to Forest Hill. We will certainly go back, and I would happily recommend it.

The restaurant appears to be family friendly, with a kids menu, colouring pencils etc. However, I would avoid like the plague if you have young children. The staff were extremely hostile and made it clear they did not want us and our children there. When I asked if there was any problem, the owner was unbelievably rude, complaining about our children talking, using the toilet, not wearing ‘normal’ clothes (my 4 year old had a fairy dress on) and basically just existing. He was so rude that other customers and the delivery driver who was picking up at the time commented on how completely out of order he was. We eat in various cafes/restaurants locally with our kids and have never encountered anything like this before. It/he was horrible and I wouldn’t want other families/kids to have to experience this.

Rude staff , bad service. Our drinks which were ordered first came after we finished our main course. Food also was average though it looked good. I have tried sushi samba in Dubai and it’s amazing as compared to London. In all bad experience.

A big thank you to Sushi Garden for providing birthday desserts for my daughter's Japanese themed birthday. The Yuzu Cheesecake and Lemon Dorayaki Pancakes were so nice and fresh, and the attention to detail with the floral decorations was beautiful. Thank you again for making her birthday, special

We have waited too long to write a review for our most favorite place in London. And no, we are not in the so called new age "food critics" category, whatever that meand. If you're expecting high end service and a katana wielding lesson, this is not the place for you. We are also not "authentic Japanese food experts", as some gleefully label themselves, we just like the restaurant, top to bottom, authentic or not. Service can be slow at times, as it can be experienced IN ANY OTHER RESTAURANT ON THE PLANET, but if you're not going there after a starvation diet or during peak times, it should be fine. Consider that it is a family business and three, four people are usually doing everything, from cooking to serving and cleaning. We often take our own empty plates back or we even clear our own table, as to give them a hand (now the restaurant aficionados are going to have a mild stroke upon hearing this) but that, for us, is part of the charm of the place. Food wise, we have never been disappointed, I mean NEVER, and the price per quality and quantity can't be beaten in London. We are two average people and we never seem to pass over the 25 pounds bill, for both of us. That's literally the cheapest dinners we ever had in London. Since we've been going there for one year and a half we've got to know the staff and they've gotten to know us and we've always been understanding of the serving times or possible mishaps. So, my advice is to go there with an open mind and decent appetite and if you're planning to visit the restaurant at peak times, be ready to wait a bit for your food. And stop whining about everything. 2024 UPDATE: Sapporo has lost nothing of its charm, despite others trying to squeeze it out of Catford (yes, Taro, I am looking at you!). We moved to East London a few months ago but Sapporo still remains our go-to sushi spot in London, and always worth the long trip!

It was amazing to see such an extensive vegan and vegetarian menu. The food was wonderful, and was very reasonably priced. My only criticism is that delivery drivers were constantly walking in and out collecting orders, and it took us a while to get the bill despite being the only ones eating in.
