Although I now know there are better Japanese restaurants in Seattle, Bush Garden is still pretty good. In fact, many times it is excellent. The problem is that it is not consistent. There are several sushi chefs that take different shifts, and some do a better job than others, and some are better at certain types of sushi.

The Red Snapper Sushi has always been my favorite variety here, but it is not usually available. For other types of sushi such as tuna, salmon, etc., it is clearly better to go to some of the other sushi restaurants in town.

Although my favorite dish throughout the years has been the Teriyaki Salmon, it is disappointing that they use Atlantic salmon (it is very fresh, though, and the teriyaki sauce is excellent).

Probably the best thing about Bush Garden is that it is like a neighborhood restaurant and bar, except that it has better food than most neighborhood restaurants. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful (I have heard that this is not the case at some other sushi restaurants).
