This shrine to Japanese cuisine offers much more than sushi and sashimi. At Kyoto Garden Sushi fresh seafood is the specialty, with no net unturned in sourcing top-quality, unusual ingredients from around the world, from farmed abalone to Mozambican conch, eel, sea urchin, and even Alaskan king crab, deep-sea scallops and wild salmon.

Exquisite combinations – imagine sake-steamed clams – capture the subtle tastes and textures of Japanese cuisine. Enjoy superb sushi from the bar. Try the signature clear broth called ‘the sea or crayfish miso soup, and the feather-light tempura scallops, vegetables, prawns and oysters.

The combinations are innovative, the flavours fresh and delicate. The fare reflects the savoury essence of umami in stocks and dressings infused with mirin, dashi, ponzu, ginger and soy. Vegetarians are spoiled for choice with fresh seaweed salad with shitake mushrooms, vegetable tempura and exotic mushroom dishes.

Leave space for delicious desserts of green-tea crepes or toasted tofu with ginger and cherry blossom ice cream.

    Simply out of this world. Amazing food, I think this is honestly the best meal I have ever had, coupled with the friendly and attentive service from Brian and his team made this an unforgettable experience. Seafood par excellence, best sushi ever you must have the signature Kyoto Garden Roll. From start to finish it’s difficult to choose a favourite dish, it was simply that mind-glowingly brilliant. Will be back shortly!!!
