Top Japanese Restaurant in Aptos
Sushi Garden Aptos
38 Rancho Del Mar, Aptos, CA 95003, United States
I say this with some hesitation, as my son worked at Sushi Garden in Capitola while going to school. In thankful for that. However, having since moved to Aptos I started frequenting Imura Japanese Restaurant in Watsonville. Unfortunately, this evening I stopped by Sushi Garden in Aptos Village. The comparison in cost is amazing. I order the exact same things each time I eat sushi, I know thats not necessarily adventurous but I know what I like. Point being that it levels the playing field when doing a comparison. My Bill at Sushi Garden is almost double the cost as that same meal at Imura Japanese Restaurant in watsonville and the service is different. Imura Japanese restaurant is managed and ran by adults, in fact the owner or adult manager are there every night and they actually really care about your dining experience. Two things beyond just Service and personal experience, again at Sushi Garden my Bill for the exact same items was almost double and when I received the bill with the suggested tips 18%, 20% and 22% its calculated the tip not on the sub total but the total including the TAX. SO your tipping on state tax. Its like your getting the opportunity to thank the state of California each time you eat at Sushi Garden.So to sum it up please keep frequenting all the Sushi Garden locations, pay twice to an operation thats operated hands off by High School students, pay twice what you should and then get shamed into tipping including tax just to boots your Bill!

Aptos Farmers Market at Cabrillo College
6500 Soquel Dr, Aptos, CA 95003, United States
I love all the farmers markets in Santa Cruz County, but this one is my favorite. I used to live in Aptos, and I studied at Cabrillo, so I have a soft spot for this one. So many great farmers. We come here every fall for a box of persimmons when they are in season. There are also wonderful vendors. I especially enjoy the Japanese artisans. Musubi - delicious! Also the Miso vendor has excellent varieties. See my photo of their salad dressing! Makes every salad yummy!Lastly, this years music with the Poor Carters & Friends is just a delight. You can never go wrong shopping here, rain or shine!
Akira Aptos
105 Post Office Dr STE D, Aptos, CA 95003, United States
Akira is a very good Japanese restaurant. Above average in every way. They can fill up fast so go early..wait times can get up there around 45 minutes, which says how much people like Akira. I had Hamachi Kama 10$ and Ninja Sticks 6$ and a Bento box with steak and combo tempura $25. Monday is happy hour all day and discounts are given on certain items like apps, beer and sake.You wont be disappointed. Thank you
Sno White Drive-In
223 State Park Dr, Aptos, CA 95003, United States
I've lived here for too long not to have been here before. I love ice cream and was craving a summer cone. I usually go to my local health food store and grab a Straus pint, but I didn't want to brave the traffic on that side of Soquel and was passing by Sno White drive-in and decided to pull in. I didn't know what to expect- if this would be shoddy quality or gross like the downtown fosters freeze. The line went very fast and up at the window I whispered my question to the cashier…. “I'm sorry to ask this, but is your ice cream real? Or is it like the fake boardwalk ice cream made from whey?” (In case you didn't know- boardwalk ice cream is made from a tub of powder.) The cashier didn't laugh nor did he act insulted, he was so kind and explained everything that's in their ice cream- and it's real! I ordered a small mixed cone and it's honestly the best soft serve cone I've ever had! And I'm an ice cream expert! I was so impressed with the service, the quickness of ordering and receiving my order, and how busy it was. I will next try out something to eat as all the food coming out looked good too! Thank you Sno White for being a local staple that deserves to be one! And for being there on a sunny day with great employees and yummy ice cream!
Seacliff Inn Aptos, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

Clean enviting grounds...tropical japanese garden vibe. Loved the coy pond with a waterfall. Hotel restaurant/bar was very pleasant with good service. The beds and pillows made convinced us to stay 2 extra days.The beach was just up the street and the famous *Mariannes ice cream* was too.I will be returning very soon.
