Popular LA Sushi Restaurant Sugarfish Moves Into Orange County Next | Eater LA

"I'm excited that cult-favorite sushi restaurant Sugarfish is finally expanding to Orange County: the new location is slated to open in late 2023 at 2600 East Coast Highway in Corona del Mar, just south of Newport Beach near Balboa Island, Fashion Island and several high-end golf courses and country clubs. With chef Kazunori Nozawa — who rose to prominence with a Studio City restaurant under his own name and helped open the first Sugarfish in Marina del Rey in 2008 — at the helm, Sugarfish brings LA’s reliable, high-quality sushi south; its most expensive coursed menu runs under $60, making it far more affordable than many omakase experiences. Given the Sushi Nozawa team’s recent expansion (nearly a dozen local locations from Calabasas to Manhattan Beach and a move into New York City), this coastal Corona del Mar address seems primed to be a weeknight favorite, and it’s positioned relatively close to Sushi II, one of Orange County’s most exquisite sushi destinations." - Farley Elliott
