"If you’re tired of hearing about how great Sugarfish is, sorry, we have nothing in common. But if you see where we’re coming from, we ranked every Sugarfish location for you because why not? Our love for Sugarfish really stems from the fact that it’s hard to find consistent, higher-quality sushi at these prices anywhere else in Los Angeles. You’re looking at an eight-course sushi/sashimi experience for around $30, and there’s probably a location within a 15-minute drive of your house." - jess basser sanders, brant cox, sylvio martins, garrett snyder
"Why do people always forget about La Brea? Maybe because it’s so close to the Beverly Hills one, or perhaps it gets overshadowed by its neighbors, Republique, Burgers 99, and (swoon), Nong La. Whatever. There’s always a ton of street parking (outside the hours of 7-9am and 4-7pm on weekdays), lines move quite quickly, and if you’re really, really hungry, you can stop by Nong La and grab a little snack." - kat hong
"Sugarfish is a must in many locals’ dining rotation, Rodriguez included. “I love the fresh sushi selection at a fair price,” he says. When he wants something reliable for dinner, Rodriguez orders the “Trust Me,” which includes a selection of nigiri, a sashimi course, two cut rolls, and edamame." - Rayna Rossitto
"This city has no shortage of sushi empires. But anytime we’re asked where someone should go for their first bite of sushi in LA, we undoubtedly answer Sugarfish. The casual, prix-fixe menu spot from legendary Chef Nozawa has completely taken over this city (both literally and figuratively), and if you think they’re done growing, you’re sorely mistaken. But what’s most impressive about Sugarfish is despite the rapid expansion, the product on the table hasn’t slipped a notch." - brant cox, katherine lewin
"You just landed at LAX after a week of eating broiled whitefish in the Midwest, and you need LA sushi back in your life immediately. Luckily, we have Sugarfish and no matter what awkward time of the afternoon you fly in, it’ll be open. Plus, with locations literally everywhere these days, chances are your Uber home will pass at least one of them." - brant cox
