Sugarfish is consistently one of my favorite sushi options in LA and I still say it has some of the best albacore that I've ever had. This Brentwood location is one of my favorites and I would say parking here is a bit easier than some other locations around town. This one is located in a small shopping center that validates parking up to 90 minutes otherwise you can find metered street parking as well. Inside is not very large, but the tables turned pretty quickly so you won't have to wait long. Our server was very polite and as usual everything that we ordered came out very fast. It's also important to know that this is a no tipping restaurant. I always do the largest option and this time I decided to add one of my favorites which was the pink lobster. It's extremely tender and flavorful, and I would highly recommend anyone that has not tried it. I have been to many of these locations over the last few years and will continue to over the next handful of years and would recommend it to anyone else as well. read more

I've heard great things about SUGARFISH, and have been wanting to try it, so when my friend suggested it for a late lunch before the UCLA basketball game in Westwood, I said yes! They don't take reservations, but luckily we had plans to go at 2pm and it was in between lunch and dinner. We got seated right away and we had a party of 6. The place is small, so I can see there being a long wait at peak times. I went off my friend's recommendation and ordered the Trust Me. I thought, hmmm, will I be full? Yup, I was! We first got edamame, delish! Next, tuna sashimi with ponzu, my fav! So refreshing and it melted in my mouth. Next albacore sushi and salmon sushi. Toro hand roll was next. Crab hand roll ended up being my 2nd fav! I also ordered a side of the scallop hand roll. That was good, but I've had better scallop. Didn't have much flavor. Their green tea was yummy and it comes with refills. It was also in a cute mug/cup. Parking is valet, but free with validation for 1.5 hours. I didn't know that but found street parking nearby, though it was metered. Only $5 for 2 hours max. I'd go back! read more

I went to Sugarfish in Brentwood with some friends, and came out impressed with the quality and vibe of the restaurant! We each ordered the Trust Me menu, which came with different sushi's cut from different fish, as well as a couple hand rolls and a tuna and chutoro sashimi. The fish tasted really fresh and I came out feeling satisfied with my meal. Overall, great experience and would definitely come back again! read more

So... on a whirlwind trip of a month around the Western part of the US, our final destination before boarding a trip from LAX was Marina Del Ray. Our son, recommended we try one of his favorite sushi places and we did... Wow. What a novel concept to get the "their choice" of what was going in the box that you'll see. After ordering, promptly the Team picked up our order and arrived at our lavish AirBandB. So, what a fantastic presentation and assortment of some of the best sushi I've ever had. The orders were fantastic and the box clearly explained what was in it, and, what condiments were appropriate and included in the package. With a fantastic sunset view, we all enjoyed our delicious and varied sushi dishes and all were very happy! When you have the opportunity, do this or dine in the restaurant for what I heard is even a more pleasant experience!! Bon Appetite... read more

Delicious, pleasant, consistent and the right price. Everytime I'm here they exceed expectations, I have nothing to say that would suggest improving is needed. I have been to many locations in the sugarfish chain, and they are all excellent, but this one time and time again impresses me with hospitality, great service and certainly pleasant ambiance. read more

Can't beat it! Best sushi, best value and the temperature of the warm rice to the cold sushi is to die for. The service is quick. I've never had a bad meal here and I eat it weekly! Yum! read more

Went with friends from NJ. Had a tasting menu order and everything exceeded expectations. Best Salmon sushi ever. Will definitely be back! read more

Sugarfish never disappoints. Food did come a little slow but the taste is still there! Fish still seemed fresh and the vibes were good.

Another fantastic experience! What gets me is the quality of the sushi is just so consistently good every single time. There are many sushi spots where sometimes it just is a little off. But not here. Tonight we sat at the bar and the place really runs like a well oiled machine. They have a large staff and they are all in constant motion. Thanks again for the special attention from Sang, and we are ready for our next visit! Really dangerous having Salt n Straw next door, too! read more

Sugarfish is my go-to for the best sushi. Fresh fish, so flavorful. Get the albacore belly for dessert - our favorite!

This is truly an "occasion restaurant"! That is, i come here for unique times: birthday, important date, etc. The people watching (a key part of what i look for) is excellent. It is a mix of people on dates, old friends reuniting, and business lunches. I am so impressed by how the staff is able to move the dining room WITHOUT constantly reminding you its time to leave. There is a true art and science to it. My daughter and i came here recently (her last day at a job) and i had the chance to re-experience the first time of dining here. I am so grateful for these moments. We did not know exactly what to order right away (also a rare thing for me) but that shows the greatly diverse aspect of the menu: a great thing. We had a salmon roll, Toro, and another type i forget. My daughter, a connoisseur of sushi restaurants, tested them by asking for "spicy mayo"...they did not have it. She told me that thats a sign of a high quality place: the attention to detail of the item you ordered. They know what you want before you know you want to go to Sugarfish! She and i agree that this is the best quality fish around!! We savored the experience and wanted to remain for so long!! The one qualm i have that stops me from 5 star: the prices. Though i do not know what to expect, i found that i paid a lot what we ordered. So, if you have a bigger budget, this is a FIVE star place. read more

Overall, I am a big fan of sugarfish and am always happy about my experience. This time I went for my free birthday meal for lunch at this Brentwood location. In order to get the free meal, you'll need to visit at least two times throughout the year and fill out the card that is with the bill each time. You'll get an email about a week before your birthday letting you know that you've met the requirement and can sign not enjoy the free meal on your birthday. I got the trust me which is just enough food for me. I always feel the fish is fresh and has good flavor. The service is quick and personable. The interior is like all other sugarfish clean and tidy. The only gripe I have is that the parking for this location is horrible. Both lots in the front and back were full with so many cars waiting on a Wednesday during lunchtime. The location validates for 90 mins but it doesn't matter if you cannot find any spots in the lot. It took over 20 mins for us to find a spot in the neighborhood. read more

Had a great date night here on a Friday night! The restaurant is fairly small, so there was a wait when we first arrived for a table. Though we were quoted 30-1hr, the tables moved fast and we only waited about 30 minutes. All the food we had was excellent! I went with the Trust Me, but my boyfriend went with an a la carte selection. It was the perfect amount of food and everything was very high quality! Service was great! Our waitress walked us through the menu and food came out in good intervals. The only thing I would change would be the ability to make reservations, but will be back regardless. read more

First time at SUGARFISH! Got the trust me! Was super delicious, will be back:). Service was wonderful and warm and they explained everything well, everything came out at a great order. Nice ambiance too, darkly lit. I just wish the rice didn't fall apart so easily, is my only complaint. read more

As much as I greatly miss our legendary master sushi chef Nazawa and his work will always be irreplaceable, a trip to any Sugarfish brings back all the warm nostalgia. The rice always special, the fish superb. Clean. Mild yet with flavor. Brought to the table with the same determination that Chef would send his wife out with orders in his original Studio City location for years. No phones, no special orders, eat what's in front of you. And get there early to avoid the wait. While I'll always miss Chef, we are lucky to have his legacy continue on. read more

So we went here with friends. We had a reservation but we had a colleague who is a doctor who was running late and they wouldn't let us sit down... for a very long time.. the. They gave us a crappy table outside. No apologies no excuses. We ordered the most expensive tasting menu. It was filling but not specially delicious or anything. I don't think I would crave to go back to this place. For me it was underwhelming experience read more

The food is delicious and portions are perfect for a small gathering with friends and family. Parking spaces are available but not too many. The service is awesome and ambiance is calm. You can also sit outside and you can ask your waiter/waitress to turn on the heater that is above you. read more

Came here on a Sunday around 4:45 pm and were able to get seated within a minute or two. I got the Trust Me, which was well worth the $35! My favorites were the tuna sashimi with ponzu and chives, toro hand roll, New Zealand sea bream sushi with citrus salt, hotate sushi with yuzu ponzu, and blue and dungeness crab hand roll. The edamame was surprisingly flavorful as well! For the price and ambiance, this is a great place to stop by. I felt like the sushi was hit or miss in terms of flavor, so I might just stick to the ones I really enjoyed in the future, though a la carte is not nearly as good of a deal. Parking was fairly easy right outside the establishment in the small lot, and service was quick. read more

came here on a Thursday afternoon for lunch and was surprised that they had availability at 12! I was expecting a long line but was glad they were able to seated us quickly. they have parking available with validation for the first 90 minutes free. I really like the variety you get with each meal. I got the Trust Me set and was pleased with how much fish I got to try, and nothing felt like it was a repeat. pricing is fair for the quality (if you think about it, you pay about $30 for 2 regular cut rolls anyway, but here you get quality and variety). portions were surprisingly good too, even tho it's only 1-2 pieces per item. service was very quick and good with refilling our water and clearing out plates. def worth coming by if you're in the area! if you visit at least twice you get a freebie on your birthday lol read more

overview: i came here at around 12:30 pm on a Sunday and got seated right away. the ambiance of this place is calming & the service is amazing. food: trust me box: 10/10. i highly recommend getting this combo as your first time eating here! the quality of the fish is unmatched. the salmon was my absolute favorite. it was soft, a bit creamy, and fresh taste that i never experienced before. one thing i will say is that the rice is not as firm as I'd like it to be. i love love sushi rice and how its a mixture between soft and sticky, but the rice was a bit too soft that it was difficult to pick up with the fish. overall, super amazing dishes & great experience. I'd 100% visit again and would recommend this place to those who love high-quality fish! read more

Brentwood SF is my favorite location. They just get the job done right. The only downside is that others also think this about this location hence the long wait. I came for a solo dinner post workout, on a Saturday night at 5:30 and there was about a 20-30 min wait. I usually get the Trust Me ($35) or the Nozawa one. But it's kind of a lot of food. I'm going to try out the Trust Me Lite and see if I feel full with that. Parking: don't park on San Vicente since the meters are only 1 hour. It's 90mins free in the parking lot in the plaza but it does get packed. So i guess my advice would be: bring a blanket, some light snacks and watch some YouTube videos in your car with your date, it's gonna be a while. read more

Abbreviated sushi bar...the Nozawa system works well. The prices are good and the quality is great. Well worth it! read more

I am Giving a 2 stars to the San Vincent location, not The others. Sushi rice was cold and tuna was supper cold as if it had been kept in the refrigerator all night. I do eat at Sugar Fish on La Brea and Cannon drive often , so this is very dissatisfying. Maybe they were just having an off day as it is Super Bowl day and they didn't want to work... but my sushi experience was terrible. read more

Good seating accommodations. And the food is always good. Since they changed something's their takeout isn't as good as it used to be to be. But still better than any alternatives. So lucky to have this place in the neighborhood. read more

The great thing about Sugarfish is that you know exactly what to expect and the quality is good. Came here for an early dinner prior to a show at the Geffen Theater with my family and made a reservation online in advance. For 5pm on a Sunday, the restaurant was still pretty busy although we did get seated immediately. Validated parking is available but there's also some metered spots in front if you prefer. Indoor and outdoor tables available. Get the "Trust Me" - it's a solid option and you'll be pleasantly satisfied (not stuffed). read more

First time ordering Sugarfish to go. Presentation was great and quality was consistent with dine in. I ordered the Trust Me which comes with 8 pieces of sushi, 8 pieces of rolls, a side of tuna, a side of edamame, and sauces. My faves are sea bream sushi and crab rolls. The only thing that was missing was hot sake. read more

SUGARFISH | Brentwood - menu - Sushi Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I loved everything about Sugarfish. This is a walk-in sushi restaurant with relatively affordable prices, and a menu reminiscent of an omakase experience. I came in for lunch (served between opening until 3:30pm) and ordered the "Trust Me" set menu, costing $30. This menu is five courses composed of edamame, tuna sashimi, six pieces of sushi, and two hand rolls, all of which were delicious. There are other menu sets available with more courses, but I would say that the amount offered in "Trust Me" is very filling. The quality of the fish was great, and I could tell the preparation was very thoughtful. My only note was that the sushi rice fell apart easily, which posed some issues when picking up the nigiri with chopsticks. The service was very quick, and it took about 45 minutes for me to finish the menu. The restaurant's vibe was very relaxed and classy, and I noticed a lot of other solo diners (perfect for a solo date!). Amazing sushi, would love to come back! read more

I was super excited to try Sugarfish after hearing so many great things about it! They have set menus (kinda like omakase) and also a la carte. If you get the set menu, the server will come by with the next item after you finish the previous dish. I decided to try their Trust Me Menu which came with a couple handrolls and pieces of sushi. Everything was super delicious, and the fish tasted really fresh. My favorites were the salmon and albacore sushi as well as the toro hand roll. I love the vibes of the restaurant and how modern and simplistic it feels on the inside. The sushi is on the pricier end but definitely worth the experience! read more

Sugarfish definitely lives up to its namesake and hype, and I'm so glad that the quality is still as amazing as ever, even four years after I last tried it! The quality of their fish is incredible, and you can really taste the difference in freshness (with the slightly sweet flavor of all their seafood) and quality of their cuts. I always opt for the Trust Me Lite set, which is honestly such a good portion, but they offer a variety of sashimi, nigiri, hand rolls, and cut sushi rolls that you can order from the menu. Among the items that I've tried and would highly recommend: Otoro Chutoro Salmon Albacore Sweet shrimp Hokkaido scallops read more

It's quite solid. They steer you to the omakase style "trust me" options, but in fairness, those are decent. The gimmick is warm rice, which has a decent amount of vinegar in it. The nigiri cuts are generous for the price, and even their highest omakase is pretty fair at $59 in a no tipping establishment. The sake is similarly fair, with a limited menu but a perfectly serviceable nigori. What isn't great is: Pretty boring fish; even the highest omakase just gets you a bit more Toro. Nigiri technique. The balls were falling apart, not tight and easy to pick up. Still, for a guy from the Midwest wanting real sushi, it worked, and having salt and straw next door for dessert is a bonus! read more

Chef Nozawa has a bunch of places throughout LA (and NYC) but Sugarfish is consistently one of the best and freshest sashimi options there is. I especially love that you can pick up their sushi boxes to go and they're a vision! Beautiful boxes divided neatly into sections with descriptions of everything, as well as how to best enjoy the pieces. Genius! Cuts on the sushi and rolls are consistently well done, which is very much appreciated. Though I die for sashimi and nigiri, my favorite is actually their salmon roll. I'm so basic but it's clean and delicious. Such a simple addition as the sesame brought this maki up a notch. Perfection in a simple maki. Love Sugarfish and will definitely be returning for more fishies! read more

Ended up at this location because we couldn't find parking at the Manhattan Beach location. Ordered the 15 for 15, their 15th Anniversary special and it was divine. Almost too much food. Our main server was great but the ones that brought out the dishes varied. They told us what each item was but often did not explain the proper way to eat each dish. Side note: DTLA had outstanding servers. The dishes that stood out the most were the otoro, salmon sunomono, and the lobster sashimi. read more
