One of the many great things about Vancouver’s expansive food scene is that ridiculously good sushi doesn’t have to come at a ridiculously high price. Case in point: Sushi Garden, which, fine, is technically located in Burnaby, but if we’re counting its more recent Brentwood location, it’s not a long trek from the outskirts of East Vancouver. We could wax poetic about the joint’s silky-smooth salmon sashimi and scrumptious specialty rolls (check out the Ikamite roll, featuring cuttle fish tempura topped with fresh greens, tobiko, and Japanese mayo, or the house roll, which is described aptly on the menu as “lots of stuff”), but let’s talk about what will likely be the best Alaska roll you have ever tasted. Sushi Garden doesn’t skimp on the avocado and covers each delightfully creamy piece with salmon and a generous drizzling of a sweet-tangy Japanese dressing that we’ve yet to see replicated anywhere else. Combine that with the substantial portions and the fact that not a single item on the menu is more than eight bucks (unless you’re opting for a combo or party platter), and you’ve got one of the most consistent sushi spots in town.
