Reviews for SUGARFISH by sushi nozawa in Santa Monica, CA
Best sushi I?ve ever eaten. You should absolutely try the tasting menu. The toro handroll and yellowtail are must haves. Also... the green tea goes nice with the dishes. In short: amazing sushi for an amazing price. The lines can be long (come early toavoid) but absolutely worth it Read more
Wait was around 30-45 minutes long but we were seated quite quickly being a party of 5. Got seated outside with a heater. Sushi... was amazing (had the trust me) and filling. Although the nigiri did not have wasabi in between the fish and rice, decent sushifor the price. Read more
I got the Nozawa Trust Me and tbh I expected better. Not too impressed but I guess I can?t ask for too much at this price point.... What I didn?t like the most was how sticky the rice was, to the point of almost being slimy, and slightly too acidic for me.Their handrolls were quite good however. Read more
Absolutely phenomenal. The tasting menu was well worth it and the sake is reasonably priced. Our waiter was also exceptionally... nice and treated us very well Can't go wrong with Sugarfish Read more
Some of the best sushi in LA. It is simple and pure cuisine. If rainbow and spider rolls are your thing, this isn't the place... for those things. Dimly lit at night, get one of the tasting menus. They don't disappoint. It was a memorable dinner. Irecommend. Read more
Came here during the third wave. Wasn?t planning on coming here but found it on Google last minute when we were near Santa... Monica. The staff was kind and informative that the chef/owner of the restaurant is well-known ans has a few locations. I knewbased on the ambiance once I sat down that this was going to be great sushi. I ordered the THE NOZAWA TRUST ME and I?m so glad Idid. As I am from Toronto, it is not often that I fresh seafood from the Pacific. The sashimi and salmon literally melts in yourmouth and the amount of food was perfect. A tad more would?ve been excessive and less would?ve left me hungry. Would definitelyrecommend and make sure to listen to the staff when they recommend to add soy sauce or not. Read more
Nothing special except the price (I think it is reasonable since the restaurant is placed near long beach and I had worse in... similar price). My pieces seemed and tasted to be handled by a person who is trying to imitate recipe/skills from a manual. Goodto flex but do not expect much from the food. Low end of High end sushi bar. Read more
Pros: Delicious Fresh Fish & Great Service Cons: If you don?t have a reservation, plan to wait a long time or get turned down at... the door. DON?T THINK. JUST EAT. TRUST ME that?s the course you HAVE to get! Overall, great environment with delicious sushiand excellent service! ???????????? Read more
