SUGARFISH by sushi nozawa

Delicious melt-in-your-mouth sushi. What a treat! Our server was wonderfully attentive and her energy matched the overall atmosphere of the place, which was peaceful, happy, and held at a high standard. The place is a bit small, but perhaps purposefully so. It is intended to be intimate. The food is delicious. We ordered the “The Nozawa Trust Me”. Every bite is a journey; Just wonderful and delicate. Highly recommend!

Sugarfish is always a great choice, their fish is incredibly fresh, and I especially love their toro tuna, salmon, and hand rolls. The restaurant may be small, but it has a nice ambiance, and the service is great. Our waiter Dimitri was very attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. As always, we’ll definitely be back!

Reason for visiting: had dinner for my birthday 😀 Date/time of visit: Friday night, 8:30 PM Parking: in the adjacent lot, shared with other businesses. Free. Kinda busy so parked near the back Party size: 5 Environment/ambience: busy and small. Not a place for large parties. Max prob 5, maybe 6. Loud, mixed crowds. No TVs. Kinda dark inside so kinda hard to read the menus. Service: ok; an hour wait. When they texted us, we thought table was ready but it was another 30 mins! There's a bar next door at Toscanova; just drank there and waited. Instead of waiting at Sugarfish, pretty cramped inside. Then the waiter.. we asked why it seemed like the rice wasn't packed tightly on some of the sushi and falling apart.. "it's prepared that way.. sometimes the rice falls apart that way on some sushi.." 😀 Service itself was good. Food: food is great.. we ordered 2 Nozowa Trust Me and 2 Don't Think. Just Eat. Sushi was great, fish tasted great. Came out pretty quick. It was enough for 5.. we had a few sake bottles and Asahi. Cost: ~$450 with tip Would I go back (yes/no): 60/40; not many places worth 90 minute wait to eat and they don't take reservations

This place isn't for MEN, it's for tiny little boys and high school kids. The portions are way too small to feed a normal eating man. They bring the food in Bird Size portions almost insulting like to see how stupid someone can be dine here. Almost like a social experiment. Service is whack, very scripted and no emotions. Typical Sushi joint decoration so nothing so special here. If you're into not being able to feast and eat like a king this place IS NOT FOR YOU. I asked for Siracha, was responded we don't give out extra sauces the food comes as per chefs rules , I asked for something Spicy and was only given Wasabi. SMFH I felt like a dog, getting little treats.

First, the food is great. It is fresh, presented well, and quick to serve. But here are all the problems with this place. 1. It's way too small. Get there by 5 or plan on waiting, sometimes a long time. 2. The seating is awful, unless you like strangers breathing on your food. They pack everyone in so tight, it's not comfortable. 3. The portions are too small for the price. Any normal man, will leave hungry, unless you plan on... 4. It's way too expensive for what you get. Order the Trust me or the Trust me lite, plan on spending another $20-$30 on other sushi only to be hungry in two hours. Again, the food is great, it's just I can't justify the cost for an uncomfortable experience where I leave hungry.

With its inviting ambiance, top-notch service, and exceptional cuisine, it is a restaurant that will keep you coming back for more.

Great sushi place! Super affordable while also offering a luxurious dining experience. The sushi here is of very high quality, with most of it even melting in your mouth. I’d recommend trying their predetermined samplers as they seem to include some of the best and freshest food.

We love Sugarfish!! We have been dining at SF other locations since their beginnings.. What we love about SF? How important the rice is and how it's cooked and handled. The fish quality is high and awesome flavors too. At regular sushi establishments. I often leave hungry or stuffed. With Sugarfish. You know exactly what your getting. And if still wanting more. You can add. We also like the tip is added and it's easy to cash out. The customer service experience is wonderful too...

Going out on a Friday night? If waiting for 45 minutes is ok with you then Sugarfish at Calabasas Commons is the place for you. Be ready to spend at least $100 for 2. We ordered the THE NOZAWA TRUST ME, it has Edamame, Tuna Sashimi - ponzu and chives Albacore Sushi - ponzu and chives, 2-pc Salmon Sushi - toasted sesame, 2-pc New Zealand Sea Bream* Sushi - citrus salt, 2-pc ,Toro Hand Roll, Japanese Yellowtail* Sushi - lemon, 2-pc, Bluefin Otoro Sushi, 2-pc Hirame* Sushi - yuzu ponzu, 2-pc Blue & Dungeness Crab Hand Roll Plus hot green tea and a glass of Coke. Even after waiting for 45 minutes, we didn't get a table , we got seated at the bar. Good thing the food and the servers were really nice youll forget the wait :)

Always a solid spot when we're craving sushi of decent quality and wanna go the omakase route. Vibes are kinda romantic with the candlelight and dim lit space. Came around 5:30ish on a Tuesday, and surprisingly it was poppin'! It was about a 20-30 minute wait for 2 and everyone has to be present to be seated. They don't text or call so you have to stick around the area to wait for your name to be called so that's kinda inconvenient. Ordered the Nozawa Trust me for about $46 and it was fillingggg. Paired it with the Super Dry Nozawa for $14 and it was perfect between two. I'm usually not a fan of sake but I appreciated how smooth this was! Service was relatively quick, so quick that we didn't get to finish our last set before getting the next.

Love coming to SUGARFISH when looking forward to high quality sushi! We arrived around 5pm on a Tuesday and were seated at a candlelit table for 2 within 30 minutes (Of note, the entire party must be present before being seated). It's a tad crowded at dinner time, but lunch hours are usually less so. I usually order the Nozawa Trust Me, because it's the perfect balance for the price and quantity ($46 at dinner hours). I usually leave feeling satisfied but not super full. We paired with the Nozawa Super Dry Sake (shared between 2 people). Our server came by with our orders quickly and answered all of our questions.

Crowded. I made an order to go and I had to wait 1/2 an hour or so for one salmon cut roll. I like the way they package food to go. The staff is very nice. My food tasted good also. I'm glad I wasn't super hungry.

Really good sushi at a reasonable price, you can't go wrong with any of the "Trust me" menu selections. Service was prompt, the restaurant itself is kind of small or an intimate setting. They don't take reservations so it's first come first serve. Tons of parking spaces with this location being inside The Commons in Calabasas. Within the shopping center there's a barns and noble where you can kill a little time if you have a long wait for dinner.

Sugarfish has been on my list for awhile; glad we finally got to try it! There are several locations throughout the LA area. I first heard of them through those cool IG photos of their to-go arrangements. Parking: The plaza gets busy and the parking lot fills up, but it's a big lot, so parking isn't too difficult. We were able to park within 5 minutes. It's a cool plaza that I recommend checking out as well. Customer Service: Customer service was decent. They are quite busy, so it's understandable that they cannot be attentive to every customer. The employees were nice. The only thing that can be better is the pacing of when dishes came out. At first, we were receiving dishes really fast; new items were coming out before I was finished with my current plate. However, we then received no new dishes for a while. At one point, my partner received a plate with a bunch of items on it, while I did not receive my next dish until he was done. It kind of threw off my eating pace. Wait: It was a somewhat busy Saturday afternoon. We were told the wait would be 30 mins, but were seated in about 15 minutes. Atmosphere: It's a cozy, modern space inside. The tables are very close together, but not uncomfortably close like some other places I've been to. Calabasas is a nice area, so everything is up to standard. It's clean; I enjoyed the sliding bathroom doors haha, but make sure you lock it properly! Pricing: I thought pricing was very reasonable. The omakase-style sets: Trust Me Lite ($22), Trust Me ($30), The Nozawa Trust Me ($39), and Don't Think. Just Eat ($59). These are the lunch prices; the dinner price is a few dollars higher, but you also get more/some different items. You can also order a la carte, with items ranging from $3-$15 (most under $10). Food: The offering is pretty good for the price. Of course, don't expect top-notch sushi and authentic omakase (if so, salmon would not be on that list, and no condiments...maybe even no chopsticks at some places). We got the Trust Me and The Nozawa Trust Me. The Trust Me: Edamame, Tuna and Chutoro Sashimi, Albacore Sushi (2pc), Salmon Sushi (2pc), Toro Hand Roll, Japanese Yellowtall (1pc), Hirame Sushi *they actually didn't have this-scallop was the substitution*, Blue and Dungeness Crab Hand Roll. The Nozawa has everything as the Trust Me, but includes Chutoro Sushi (2pc) and New Zealand Sea Bream Sushi (1pc). It was just enough food for us. I felt full, but not too full. At first, I was thinking of getting the Don't Think. Just Eat; I'm glad I didn't, that would have been too much. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. The rice was warm and sweet. It's quite soft, so may fall apart on you at first touch. I was bummed that we didn't get to try the Hirame, so I will need to come back for that. I kind of want to order to-go next time, but I don't know if that will be as good/fresh as dining in. We will definitely be back though!

Sugarfish is the restaurant I miss the most having moved away from LA. Whenever I'm back, this is a must go to for my husband and me. We came here the other night (a few days before thanksgiving) and the place was packed as always but just as delicious as we remembered. We both got the Nozawa trust me and added a few things. I subbed the salmon for tuna and crab hand roll for yellowtail, which they had no trouble accommodating. I also got an order of the albacore belly and my husband and I split an order of the large scallops. The food was amazing as always with the highlights being the albacore nigiri and toro hand roll. Service was a bit slow but the food made up for it. I love how the rice is served slightly warm and the fish just melts in your mouth. Definitely stop by here if you're craving sushi. You won't be disappointed.

I've eaten here before and while the food is great. I was really surprised at the service, or lack there of. The hostess, named Cat, was snobby, dismissive, and really unhelpful. After being told by one person that the wait would be half an hour. I was then told by her that it would be an hour and definitely one of those situations where you get a high school vibe amongst the servers who start snickering when I voiced confusion at the discrepancy. . Really disappointing.

Definitely Not typical American Japanese sushi joint. Very simple with only fresh fish and delicate rice. It can get super busy with a long wait time especially during the weekend but it's worth it. I always enjoy my sushi meal here.

Amazing fresh sushi restaurant. No hot food - cold fish from the ocean picked up the day of. Menu changes due to fresh fish available. Arrive early as it does get busy with a line.

I don't know why my friends keep dragging me to sugar fish when there are sooo many better sushi spots near by. The ambience is nice, but the servers are a bit rude. The food like all my other sugar fish reviews is just okay. Nothing to write home about, but at least it's consistent throughout all of their locations. If you don't ever want your mind blown , come to sugar fish.

Great service, it is a very interesting concept-basically a modified version of Omakase. I ordered the "trust me". It started strong but the favors near the end were a little off to me. Freshest fish in town- they have grown so fast and it is evident it is because the quality of food you get is unmatched, especially at their price point. I think when I go back though, I will be strictly ordering handrolls as I have never had a better one than here. special shout out to the rice. That is soooooo good.

Sugar fish is what gave me a real love for sushi, no extra sauces or crazy rolls. Just really good quality fish that tastes light and full of flavor. The rice is warm which only adds to the mouth melting sushi pieces. I alwayssss get the Nazouwa trust me and i will continue to eat even past when I'm full. Great ambiance inside with limited tables and cozy lighting. The service is always top notch too, I love that you order and the food just rolls out plate by plate as you finish. Delicioussss!!

We came here after playing golf nearby, and it was exactly what we needed. We got the Don't Think. Just Eat. and the Trust Me Nakazawa--if you like sashimi and hand rolls, this place delivers. Fresh, clean, no fuss. The servers were on top of it, which I love--even though they don't work off tips. My only thing is the bathroom door is odd... it slides out, but it looks like it's about to break. The atmosphere is relaxed but still has a nice energy to it, and there's no BS--just great sushi done right. If you're in the area, it's worth stopping by for sure!

We came here for lunch after hiking nearby on a Saturday. We got seated right away and got greeted by our server. We ordered from the set menu and some extra hand rolls. Tuna sashimi is a bit too saucy to my taste but the fish is fresh. The sushi and hand rolls taste good but the food came out slower than expected and the service gets slower as more customers coming in. Overall dinning experience was okay if you are not in a rush. It's located inside an outdoor shopping mall so you can walk around a little bit and get some dessert afterwards.

Amazing! Fresh! Delicious! If you want great quality sushi, come to Sugarfish in Calabasas to experience one of their Omakase menu items. You will not be disappointed. The ambiance is quaint with limited restaurant seating, so expect a wait especially during dinner time. The service is very organized and the waiters are all friendly and love how they serve Omakase items in order so you know what item to expect. If you are expecting a large menu with foo-foo rolls and typical teriyaki bento boxes, this isn't a place for you. Expect more traditional, Japanese, style sushi. Come and experience this gem yourself!

I came here for lunch on my birthday and had the best time! We got here right at 11:30 and there was already a line. We were seated right away and helped immediately. It's a little small inside but still a good amount of tables. We got THE NOZAWA TRUST ME for lunch and it was perfect! The fish melted in my mouth and the flavor was out of this world. The rice was cooked perfectly and every bite I ate was better than the last. It was nice to have a prefixed menu and have the dishes come out one after another. The service was fantastic along with the food. It was my first time coming but definitely not my last. They are located in the commons with lots of parking and lots of restaurants and stores. It was the perfect day to walk around and visit the pond!

I love sugarfish, the quality can't be beat for the price! This location is quite busy and does not take reservations. We walked in for a weekday dinner, had to wait about 30 minutes before being seated. However, since it is located in a shopping plaza, it's easy to browse shops before. I love the omakase style dining (takes the headache of choice from me). I usually get the trust me, the nowaza trust me if I'm feeling really hungry. I appreciate the variety of sushis and rolls they give you.

My favorite, favorite sushi place hands down! I go almost weekly cuz I love it so much! Never lets me down! The fish is fresh, menu makes it easy to order. So worth it! Smaller location but since it's in a plaza you can walk around while you wait. Service is pretty good, pretty quick. Definitely my favorite place to go to!

I drive 45 minutes to come to this beautiful location in calabasas and always have a great experience and love the quality and to go book and the garden view. Never been disappointed and the quality is superior coming from an avid sushi connoisseur and big game fisherman.

I'm grateful I live a half hour away otherwise I'd be here constantly. Some of the freshest sushi I've ever had as well some of the highest quality. It is rather small inside so be prepared to get comfy with your neighbors and they really do love to turn down the lights at dinner service. Other than that I love this place

I love sugar fish! The freshest sushi and made so good. I order the sashimi menu. The bay oysters are amazing! The pre set menus is really good. I've tried all of it. They don't take reservations here so there is usually long waits. Good customer service.

Jake was our server and he was fantastic! Jake was very knowledgeable about all of the difffernt fishes which was super helpful since my boyfriend and I were not! Randle the manager even stopped by our table and he was amazing as well!!! All of the food we got was incredible, the taste the texture the sauces paired with everything were AMAZING!! My personal favorites were the tuna sashimi, the albacore belly and the ankimo was my boyfriend's favorite! Thank you to Jake and all the staff for an amazing date night!! Will for sure be coming back the vibes were perfect for a nice date night and even will be making my family come back!!

Beautiful location! Sugarfish, always a great meal! I love that it's a no tipping restaurant. And the birthday club!

Amazing food and amazing sushi quality. Some of the best I've ever had. Only thing I will say is service could be a little friendlier.

The best sushi experience in a while. Love the surrounding shopping center. Quick wait, great service, and the quality of the fish and accented flavoring of their sushi in the set I chose was perfect. Good lighting, intimate, busy but not overwhelming.

This is the BEST sushi I have had in a long, long time. Picked this for a birthday lunch due to its location. I had not been to a Sugarfish in years. Expectations were moderate. They do not take reservations and will not seat the table until the entire party is present. However, the tables turn quickly and the hostess was friendly and helpful. We both had the Nozawa special for $39. Each dish outdid the last. The edamame was salty and perfectly blanched. The fish was very, very fresh and often had a citrusy component to further elevate the flavors. The salmon nigiri, which is usually not my favorite, made me a believer. I forgot to photo the last dish, a crab hand roll. Must have been overwhelmed with excitement! Server was outstanding. Friendly, offering to slow down the pace of dishes so there was no pressure as we were gabbing. I truly cannot wait to go back.

Surprisingly, we got seated fairly quick when we arrived. Our orders were taken in a timely manner but it did take a little time to get each dish. We did the Nozawa Trust me and everything was pretty good. Quality was decent, but I felt like the fish cuts fit more of a buffet style selection. It just didn't have the high quality I was expecting for this kind of place. I also didn't like how everything was done in the back, unlike typical sushi bar restaurant's, there's no sushi bar with a chef behind it making the sushi. Hence the more reason I felt like it was buffet style sushi. I would come back if I was craving sushi on a budget.

So tasty! Always a long wait but it's worth it! We came here after a color me mine date across the street. We waited about 30 min, not too bad of a wait. We grabbed a drink next door while we were waiting, it was fun :) we ordered sake and a bunch of sushi pieces and mmmm everything was chefs kiss! So delicious and buttery, melted in my mouth! My favorite it always the salmon but truly everything is amazing, no fishiness at all. Really affordable too which is nice. Will 100.% be back!

I swear, it gets better each time we come here! Matthew provided us with phenomenal service last night, despite the restaurant being so busy. My boyfriend and I greatly appreciated how he immediately noticed our soy sauce was running low and refilled it, before we even had the chance to figure that out ourselves. We also tried the lobster hand roll and it was delicious! A must-try if you enjoy lobster.

Let me start by saying it's not for everyone. Sugarfish operates on what seems to be a traditional Japanese style, so if you aren't a sushi lover or you only eat rolls, or you're looking for the fast food or novelty items - this is not the place for you. If you are someone who compares AYCE Sushi places to this, this is also not the place for you. Also, the tables are small and seating is limited, and the wait time can be long, I don't think they take reservations, you just put your name on a list, so if these things bother you, and detracts from how good the sushi or the rest of the experience is, maybe eat somewhere else. Sugarfish has become our spot and we come here quite often with our friend.. We always do beer, sake, and "Don't think, Just eat" option which is basically like a 'pre-fixe' in which items are selected for you throughout, and different plates/courses are brought to you at a time. (They're fast, so when you're almost done with one, you're getting your next one). I was absolutely shocked and still continue to be with how amazing the quality and taste is, especially for the price and how generous. It's absolute eating pleasure from start to finish. You can also order nigiri and other items a la carte if you don't want to choose this, or they have other preset courses depending on what you like and how much you think you can eat. Each piece of fish is absolutely fresh and delicious. The first thing you get is Edamame, which is fine, after that comes this chopped tuna sashimi in a ponzu sauce. SO delicious and perfect start before the rest. So amazing, delicate, and fresh. You never know how good regular tuna can be, this simple starting dish is a great reflection of the quality of their fish. The next course is my favourite plate. You get 6 pieces of nigiri, which include 2 pieces of Toro (fatty tuna belly), 2 albacore (Pretty sure that's what it is) and 2 salmon with a special khombu leaf underneath - the taste is so unique and amazing. O.M.G. I look forward to this plate every time I think about Sugarfish that I can practically smell and taste it as I'm writing this. The rice is served fresh and you feel how warm it is under the fish, which is the perfect temperature. The fish pieces are generous and absolutely melt in your mouth. The toro is an absolute delicacy. It's buttery and just....amazing. I personally look forward to the salmon because the taste of the khombu leaf underneath makes is so unique, but everything is amazing. PLEASE DON'T FLOOD IT IN SOY SAUCE. :D Next course is one of their hand rolls. I'm not a hand roll person, but their hand rolls are spectacular. They make it to service, so again, rice is warm. I think the first hand roll is toro - amazing, and the one after the next nigiri course is the lobster hand roll. You never realize how good hand rolls can be typically, until you realize just how perfectly every aspect of that bite is when you taste it altogether. The next course is another 6 pieces of nigiri, 2 each. You get another kind of chutoro (tuna belly), sea bream, and pink lobster. Once again, the chutoro absolutely melts into this delicate, silky, flavour in your mouth. The sea bream is interesting and very hard to describe the flavour. It has a shiso leaf underneath that has a cumin type taste. Very interesting. The pink lobster is soft and sweet, not rubbery at all. Next is that amazing lobster hand roll, and the last course, if you can make it, (I try not eat the whole day in hopes of making sure I make it through the whole meal) is anago, which is grilled eel. I'm not exactly sure what the difference is, but I suppose my typical American way prefers the taste of unagi, which to me I guess I'm used to, tastes more charred/grilled, however, the anago is so fresh and delicate, that just melts. These are also just as amazing: Ikura - fresh salmon eggs; albacore belly; Toro (sea urchin). Did you make it to the end of this review? This is how much we love Sugarfish, we could go on all day about how good we think it is. You can spend X amount of dollars on Subpar sushi, or here, where the quality is excellent. I find it difficult to understand it when people say they don't like Sugarfish if they are true sushi lovers. If we move out of California, we'll be very sad to leave this behind.

Went to Sugar Fish by Nozawa in Calabasas. Received the text that our table was ready. So, was walking outside when our main guest told us to come back. Not even 5 minutes went by when the host gave our table to another party. So we then waited another 10 minutes or so and were seated at a table where only l two people should be sat. It's in the aisle way! Bottom line the stars were for professionalism. Nevertheless, JJ our server was great. He was courteous and gave us advice as to what each menu item was. Food was good. Had the Don't think, Just eat. Small spot, very tight seating. Just need to teach the host some common courtesy. I was ready to walk out, but stayed for the nephew since he was hungry.

Yellowtail sushi is my favorite here, the lobster roll is amazing. Take out packaging is super cute and organized.

The ambiance is okay but the food is great. Brie was very attentive to our needs. We had the Nozawa Special.

I'm trying to edit my previous review because after second thoughts and trying again the place seems very professional. Menu selection is tasty and the quality of the food seems like a reliable. The dining room seems simple and modern. A good place to take that date.

took over an hour and a half for my takeout order to be ready! thats actually insane. I normally go to studio city, and will never come back to this location after this. Im waiting for my takeout order inside and theres only like 30 guests eating. How can it possibly take this long what the heck are they doing back there

Tables are very close together, a bit claustrophobic. Everyone nearby will def hear your conversation. Food came out fast. Great quality fish and consistently delicious.

Fresh and tasty for sure. Always hungry after I leave this place as portions are small and it's a bit expensive for what you get. Still you can count on it being very tasty and nice atmosphere. A bit loud and all tables bar seats are very close. Small place.

After hearing rave reviews about this establishment, I finally gave it a try. I wanted to treat myself, so I opted for the "Don't Think, Just Eat" option, which consisted of a sashimi course, seven orders of nigiri, and two hand rolls. I took a seat at the bar, and the server was pleasant, friendly, and respectful. My favorite dish was the bluefin: both the otoro and chutoro were incredibly fresh, melted in my mouth, and had a heavenly taste. The restaurant included a 16% fee added to the bill, but they are no tipping establishment.

I've been wanting to come here for so long. I've tried it at a pop up at SM farmers market. I was blown away by the freshness. The team was super friendly. From hostess to servers. The interior was so plain it was kind of shocking. The sushi melted in my mouth! Really great experience.

Sugarfish has undoubtedly secured its place as one of my favorite sushi spots, and each visit is an indulgent experience that never fails to satisfy my cravings. My go-to choice when dining in is the "Trust Me" option, which involves multiple courses. The ambiance at Sugarfish is a key factor that elevates the dining experience. Opting to dine in rather than opting for takeout allows you to fully immerse yourself. The service at Sugarfish is usually good. The staff is attentive, friendly, and ensures that you have a good dining experience. They are knowledgeable about the menu and are more than happy to provide recommendations or answer any questions. It's worth noting that Sugarfish operates on a first-come, first-served basis, so arriving early is advised to secure a spot. When it comes to the menu, I have found my perfect ensemble of flavors that never disappoint. The tuna sashimi is a melt-in-your-mouth. The salmon, albacore, and crab rolls are equally good.

Yummy! I go here for lunch when I work in office. The service is great and the food comes out fast. The restaurant is fairly small, so you may need to wait a bit for a table.

Very good quality fish! The rice is warm and the fish is cold. Interesting dynamic! I love the service and the food, worth the $$!!

I love Sugarfish but the service was lacking recently. I know we were seated 30 minutes before closing time but technically they were still open so expected the same level of service especially given the service charge is already added. The dinner experience was just very rushed. Normally the anticipation of the next dish is part of the experience when ordering the Nozawa Trust me but they were giving us our next one before we even finished the one in front of us. At the end of our meal, I asked for more water and the waitress asked me if I wanted my water to go. Obviously I was still thirsty and wanted it with the rest of my meal. Just a tip: don't eat there when they are within 3O minutes of closing!!!! Updating my review for just the fact the Regional Manager reached out to address my concern. Being a Regional Manager myself, I appreciate this so much. Not only did he acknowledge my review he reached out to discuss my experience. Giving a star back just for this alone. Thanks Kenny.

Fish was fresh but service wasnt great and what kind of restaurant forces a 16% tip like what im sorry not comming back thats a scam

TOGO: love getting sugar fish togo via their app. It's always in super nice and thick boxes displayed just as nice as if you were in the restaurant and the quality is good. Comes with all the fixings chives, fresh ginger, lemon, soy, ponzu, wasabi & Wet towel we got the To-go trust me ( sub sea bream with albacore) & Nozawa to-go

Sugarfish, no. Maybe, "Flavorless Fish" instead. Our party was excited to dine at Sugarfish. Reservations aren't accepted, so we showed up at around 7:30 pm and entered the queue. After about an hour, we were alerted that we were nearing the top of the queue, so we returned to the restaurant. The hostess told us that we were still fourth in line, so we were instructed to wait outside, and would be called shortly. 15 minutes later, and we were finally seated. Our waiter greeted us, and then took our order. I don't remember his name, because I think he only stopped by once or twice. He was nice, but mostly inattentive. Our drinks were never refilled. The only time he stopped by was after the meal was over. Certainly, below expectations as far as service goes. The restaurant itself is beautiful. Good atmosphere, if not a little too... cozy. The diners at the table to my left were about as close to me as the other members in my party. The hostess stand was about two feet to my right, and staff was squeezing between us all night. The sashimi was excellent. The sweet and savory notes still play on my tongue. My table enjoyed these small plates. Next was the nigiri. We ordered the "Don't think. Just eat." I think it should be renamed "Don't think. Just swallow," because that is exactly what one has to do to make it through the nigiri. It was more of a chore to get through these pieces than it was a delightful culinary experience. The nigiri, I think, is better suited for your four legged feline friend than it is for an adult human being, though, I'm not even sure that my cat would enjoy this meal. Where to begin? I think there's little to say here except that there was no flavor. At one point, my palette was so starved for flavor that I had to eat the wasabi just to remind myself that my senses haven't gone dull. The fundamental lack of flavor was a major disappointment. A bite of nigiri is supposed to be magical - a burst of flavor. Fish to the absolute extreme, a playful balance of salt and sweet. Something! But that was not my experience with the nigiri at Sugarfish. Imagine, you take a bite. There's no burst of flavor. Instead, your palette desperately tries to latch onto something--- anything--- that will remind you about why you waited over an hour to eat at this restaurant. It finds... nothing. No salt. No sweet. Just a teeny little taste of the fish. It's not brought to life in any way. It doesn't burst with flavor. No. Your are left merely with the texture of rice and raw fish. The texture is not in itself bad. But without the flavor it resembles baby food. The only flavor to be had here is from desperately, and I mean, desperately, dipping each piece of fish in the soy sauce. Oh, and we ran out of that. No waiter came to save us, so we suffered. The hand rolls were okay. There was a little more flavor because of the wrap, but other than that, it was more of the same. This restaurant tries to do justice to the ingredients, but it utterly fails. These dishes are a grave injustice to Japanese cuisine. Oh, and the last piece they brought out was a warm piece. A nice little contrast if it did not resemble canned tuna. 0/5 across the board.

I felt very welcomed just got here from Hawaii new to the area and the hostess was also from there and I felt very comfortable would go again

What I like about sugarfish is you know what you're getting and it's consistent I'm not a huge salmon fan but the salmon here is good.
