Sugarfish By Sushi Nozawa

Long overdue review of sugarfish. Small restaurant inside an outlet with others. Didn't think too much about street parking, since the garage is just right next to it. Service: ok service, typical American style service. They gonna check back to you once in awhile. But I wish they would have done more to space out the seatings when they are not full. (For covid reason) Food: ordered the trust me menu so I can focus on the eating part. Their fishes are fresh, yet the Nigri is smaller than typical sushi places. Not really a lot of varieties but good portion size. 14 pieces and a handroll and a sashimi appetizer is a lot of food. Critical: the rice fell apart when I was trying to pick up the pi...

SO overrated… can’t understand the hype Food It tastes like any other average sushi restaurant but with less option. So bland and basic. It’s like a quick grab and go sushi but they try to make it sound fancy by calling it a omakase (or a La carte as another option) experience. For those that had true quality omakase, sugarfish is like a cheaper, low quality version. Some fish served smelled and with quality omakase, fish just melts in the mouth and isn’t fishy. Price overpriced. Small portions with the most basic fish type. But cheaper omakase option. It won’t make you full. Ambience decent but so many people crammed into a tiny space. Hard to have private conversation Service decent but no...

Been to this location quite a few times, and each time is a great experience ordering the Trust Me's. Sushi is always fresh and flavors don't disappoint. The dining experience can be intimate (tight) as there is little space in between each table. Servers will bring out each dish individually, sort of omakase style. We've switched over to take out since the pandemic. The to go packaging is very impressive, everything is organized and labeled. I actually prefer take out since you can get all the dishes at the same time and eat at your own pace. Also, if you order their Trust Me's on two separate visits per year, you can redeem a free order on your birthday. Take outs count too, just make sure...

I had the honor to have been served by the founder Nozawa-San in Studio City sometime in the 90's.This latest restaurant is quite noisy, very busy, and serves high-quality Sushi in a formatted easy to order way. It's a place to bring friends or lovers for a quick lunch or dinner. Service was excellent and friendly and the food was served promptly in a continuous manner.They do not serve Hot Sake, or large Beers, so there are some limitations in a variety of ways. Looking for great atmosphere for a intimate romantic evening? This is not the place. Want to hang with your Buds for an hour and eat with lots of background loud chatter? This is the place.

I waited for almost 2 hours to get it... And I was excited for every second because I knew it was worth the hype and anticipation..... And then when I got the text that said I was next in line I came inside and checked in, and the host even acknowledged me and told me I was next in person.... However after the person in front of me was seated the hostess marked me as a no show while I was 6 feet away from her and then called 3 other parties ahead of me. Eventually I spoke up and was seated promptly but..... The organization and concentration needs work.

Reasonable prices and delicious quality fish! If you are new to sushi, this is especially a great place to try out. It is simply delicious and gives you a good idea of what sushi is about without all the frills of modern sushi restaurants nowadays. The fish will literally MELT IN YOUR MOUTH! Any of the set menus are great and have a variety of fish. Nigiri, edamame, sashimi, and handrolls are included in all of them. I definitely recommend getting the regular TRUST ME to get the best value. Ask to switch out the hirame for the bay scallops if you can :

We used to live in LA and the one spot we had to go back within the 2 days visiting was sugarfish! The most clutch and affordable sushi place you will ever find. Consistency wise you can't beat them! Try kazu nori as well if you have not already. Same owner, just as delicious but a different experience. The fish melts in your mouth along with the perfectly temperatured rice.

Very delicately prepared take and very worthy of IG. It is a bit expensive and I was still hungry, even if I ordered to share some additional roles. It was worth a try! I wanted to pick it up on Friday night at 9 a.m. and the restaurant was so full! Excellent service and friendly host.

Amazing dining experience! 7 courses brought out at a perfect pace, each course better than the next. Rice is warm. Seaweed crisp. The fish literally melts in your mouth. Best sushi I have ever had hands down. Service and ambience impeccable. Highly recommend!

Very fresh fish at an intermediate price, and in my opinion a great compromise between casual sushi and high-end omakase that could cost 100+ per person and take hours. Would go again.Food: 4/5
