Sushi Garden - London in Lewisham

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.

First class super fresh sushi, top quality from a lovely local business, the hot rolls are sublime. I have eaten in there and had several take aways, absolutely delicious every time.

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 ordered dinner for home and had a variety of food from noodles, sushi, dumplings and edamame to katsu. All pretty good. Prawn noodles was short of prawns and a dish was missing (refunded quickly enough). Will maybe try eating there too.

This place is wonderful. Eat and order from here way more than I should as just so good - Amazing dishes. wouldn’t be out of place if it popped up in soho. So lucky to have it locally.

Lunch on Sunday with Friends - delicious food; fabulous service and great Gluten free options - my friends were very impressed and we will be back soon - this is a great local business run by people who really understand good food and service.

my friend and i found a little sushi restaurant in forest hill @sushi garden and decided to try it for a sunday lunch. best decision ever! we were greeted with a lovely, warm welcome and we received excellent service. the lovely front of house staff, Chitra, was very friendly and attentive, she gave us great recommendations and 5 star service. the food was very fresh and tasty, the fried squid and california roll sushi was delicious. can't wait to go back and try some of the other mouth-watering items!

Sushi Garden London. Run by two passionate Italians. Good quality sushi. Fresh & great variety. Able to cater for gluten free without a problem. If you’re not sure what to try, we would recommend one of the sharing platters.

Great food, popped in to try it out now that the eat in is open. tuna poke bowl was delicious and good value. Great place in forest hill

Not only the best restaurant in Forest Hill but their sushi really does rival some of the top Japanese restaurants in London. We have dined here many times and it just gets better every time! Would 100 percent recommend.

I decided to order from this website based on a flyer which advertised free delivery and 10% off on takeaway orders placed on their website/app. I did not get free delivery, which I complained about, and as a result received a call from a dismissive...

Ordered via Uber eats where food finally arrived 90 minutes after the time it was due. Rang three times within 30 minutes that food had just left, which were lies. When food finally arrived it was cold.

Ordered way too much as the menu offered so much to tempt us. Great dumplings and sauces, excellent sashimi (especially the yellow tail), salt & pepper squid that actually had the right balance and 3 different types of sushi rolls each offering very different flavours....

I had high hopes about this restaurant from the reviews but I was absolutely knocked out with the quality of the food! I had the mixed fish poke bowl and it truly was the best I’ve ever had, so many perfectly balanced different ingredients and...

I've discovered this gem via deliveroo I am so happy I found it! I've ordered twice and every single item has been delicious and well presented! Really good quality, Once lockdown is finished I will def make sure to pay a visit

Wonderful staff, really excellent fresh and tasty food, reasonable prices. My favourite SE London lunch spot.

Haven’t visited in a long while and was as good if not better than I remembered. Picked up food and you get 10% discount for online deliveries. All fish was fresh and tasted great. Had salmon and tuna sashimi, eel nigiri, fresh crab meat roll...

My partner and I ordered some take away from the Sushi Garden, and we're amazed at the quality of the food. I love sushi and was thrilled to find a fantastic sushi restaurant local to us. My girlfriend doesn't like sushi but loved the non-sushi...

We went there to celebrate my brother-in-law's birthday and our experience was beyond amazing! The food is prepared fresh and it tastes amazing! The staff and the owners are super friendly and always ready to satisfy hour wishes! The restaurant is small but super cozy!...

Four of us came here late-ish on a Sunday evening. For starters we had a few round of gyoza dumplings (delicious) with a spicy dip, kimchi some fried squid and tofu. We also tried some cocktails with Japanese twists ('Kyoto Old Fashioned' etc) which were...

Had a good meal Valentine’s Day afternoon. Had seaweed salad and vag tempura followed by veg sushi selection. The whole meal was delicious. Far better than our visit to hibagon ( poor food and appalling service).

We ordered sushi take away on Deliveroo, one of those menu boxes. It was simply disgusting, the fish was dry and not at all fresh. The tuna looked especially bad. And moreover it was expensive for the extremely low quality delivered.

A spontaneous Monday date night turned into one of the best meals I’ve ever eaten! I’m a massive sushi fan and this meal was delicious, beautifully presented and served with a friendly smile. We’ll be back, I highly recommend

Ordered a variety of sushi and had salmon, stone bass and eel. All the fish was fresh and of good quality. Will be going back!

Been meaning to try this restaurant for a while. Delighted to discover we have a first class sushi restaurant in Forest Hill. Fish is bought in daily from billings gate and was beautifully presented. Generous servings of the fish. Also had the ramen which was...

Really delicious starter (potato balls with creamy hot sauce) and good edamame, but disappointed with the ramen. The broth lacked flavour and the dish lacked the depth we are used to with ramen. Too small portions for us also. The sushi looked good, so would...

gave this a go as we live nearby and love Japanese food, menu seemed ok but we found for the price paid that the meal lacked a few touches that we would expect - no radish with the tempura sauce, the sauce itself didn't seem...

Lovely sushi restaurant, sushi and sashimi were excellent as were the mochi. The kids loved it as much as we did. Really friendly service - looking forward to going back. And they do takeaway!

Great food, Great service, the lovely Andrea coped as more and more customers came though the door. Everything so tasty: I cant wait for my next visit!

Great tasting sushi but a bit overpriced, plus £2.50 service charge is added to the bill. We ended up paying more than we intended to.

Oh, food is so delicious and so tasty, full of flavour, Amazingly presented and with a staff to match. I cannot recommend enough! P. S. It’s really bargain for this quality, and whoever is reading my review- You must go there now!

I ate at Sushi Gardens with my bestie, Michelle on Saturday 25th May around 7:00pm. We were greeted in a warm and friendly manner by the owners, Roccio and her partner which made me feel very welcomed. The ambience was cosy and the jazz music...

We really loved our meal. The sushi was delicate and delicious, and there was definitely attention to detail. We loved the spicy tuna but everything was delicious including the vegetable gyozas. The restaurant isn’t big so it’s an intimate experience with good service and it’s...

We had a gorgeous dinner last week at the Sushi Garden and I can’t say enough how much we loved that place. Delicious sushi/ sashimi beautifully plated and freshly prepared. Cosi atmosphere and love the style as well. Brilliant service. I totally recommend Sushi Garden...

Was visiting the UK and my friends and I didn't want to miss our usual sushi Tuesday (that we usually have in the states), so we went Sushi Garden. The ambience was cool and hip, the music was just right, our wait staff was AWESOME...

We visit Sushi garden at Forest Hill Saturday the 18th May and must say stunning fresh fish dishes very well presented, excellent knowledge of the Japanese food and delicious Sake.
