This was my first time trying sugarfish but I have heard raving reviews. This is an omikase style cozy sushi restaurant. They don't take reservations, but when we arrived they had a large waiting room upstairs, and we were sat within 20 minutes. We all got the omikase pre-decided courses but in varying sizes. We also got a few extra pieces and rolls to try out their limited time items. Overall, the quality of fish was really great. I especially loved the unique cut of fatty tuna that i ordered on the side. I think the value for these meals is great as well. However, the service was very confusing, as they didn't seem to know what they were serving us. Servers asked us whether we received a certain course yet, which I thought was odd. I could see how it is hard to manage given we all got different sized meals, but this is unexpected at a higher end sushi place.

It is pretty popular. You need to grab a reservation. The sushi is good and they are known for their chefs choice. The ambience is dark and a cute date night. Overall good vibes.

Think of the omakases I've tried, think this one ranked the bottom, keeping mind of the price. Starting with the good. The fish was fine. Favorite was the first dish. Tuna was fresh. Just a little salty from the soy. Also up front that there's no tip. The rest...not so good. The soy sauce is like regular kikkoman regular soy sauce. The edamame was salty. The nigiri pieces they added soy sauce already...was salty. The rice was mushy too. Which is a shame because I did like the amount of vinegar and sugar added. But then when they added soy sauce, the whole thing just fell apart and barely can pick up. And then again...salty. And then look wise, the nigiri just looked like slapped together and not shaped Now as for tipping policy...no tipping and it shows. The servers just look and act like they're just fed up and going thru the motions. There are definitely omakase places out there that are magnitudes more worth just paying like $10-20 more. Heck I prefer regular sushi places over this. Still....cant beat the price of $40 and no tipping.

First time not getting the Trust Me options and just going off the nigiri menu as I wasn't looking for a full meal. I got Hokkaido scallops, bluefin chutoro, and salmon kombu. All were delicious, but the salmon kombu was my surprise favorite. The prices are high though. Service was very attentive and I enjoyed sitting at the bar.

SUGARFISH is a great place to visit if you're craving quality sushi that doesn't break the bank. We found their Trust Me Lite was the perfect amount for a filling lunch. You don't need to worry about indecisiveness as it comes with a hand roll, three nigiri pieces, edamame, & sashimi. They're also a non-tipping establishment so the service is already included in the $30 price. This is amazing value considering how many different items you receive. Food-wise, their sushi was fresh & well seasoned! You can tell they take pride in serving only quality. The main downsides were due to being so busy you do feel rushed & they were forgetful in bringing out some of our items. Otherwise loved this experience and the concept of the Trust Me Menu. It's brilliant!

Fish cuts are thin and not like many of the other omakase places. Rice fell apart too easily, felt hastily put together. Tried the Nozawa Trust Me box, was not as satisfying as I thought. Dine in set is different from to-go set which was not communicated by the staff - seems like they still need training. Small restaurant with dim lighting. Nothing stood out and I'm not sure why this place has so much hype. Would not recommend and will not be coming back.

Loved our experience here, but omg the prices. We did takeout and brought our sushi to the park to enjoy, which I highly recommend. All of the fish was very obviously fresh and high quality, but I was disappointed by how poorly the rice held together. We all ended up losing half of the rice on each roll/piece. I love the suggestions on the box and the different sauces that go with different fish. I don't know if I would choose this as my place to visit again in the city for sushi, but we did enjoy it!

Maria R.

Absolutely wonderful staff and service,everyone super friendly on point and pleasant. Loved this location it was fun to watch the staff work while at the bar. The food is unbelievable everything was amazing didnt need soy sauce or wasabi. Melt in your mouth,fresh and flavorful. Definitely recommend for any sushi lovers. Iced green tea was smooth and lovely.

Taylor K.

BEST SUSHI. Simple & perfect. Sat at the bar and it was such a vibe. Service was efficient.

Ashley J.

This place never gets old. The best sushi and such a good value. "Trust me" every time.

Alice W.

I love SUGARFISH! The fish is consistently high quality and delicious. This visit would have been 5 stars except for the slow service. I usually have a great experience with service at SUGARFISH, but it was challenging to get our server's attention. Also when we got the bill, there was no pen to fill out the birthday club checkin form and it was challenging to get a pen.

Michelle S.

We ordered the Nozawa Trust Me, which I had tried before and was really impressed by. This time, some of the fish had a slightly fishy taste, but it was still quite enjoyable overall. The service was attentive and accommodating, especially since I was on a time crunch, which I really appreciated. I also love the cozy, dim setting, it makes for a relaxing dining experience. Overall, while the fish wasn't as perfect as my previous visit, the combination of good service, atmosphere, and tasty sushi makes Sugarfish worth coming back to.

If you're looking for good sushi in Manhattan without breaking the bank, stop in to Sugarfish. I've been to a few locations and I always get the Trust Me or the Nozawa Trust Me, which is essentially the chef's selection of the freshest cuts of fish that day. The fish is always fresh and well seasoned. The rice is warm and doesn't always stick together, but the taste is always top notch. That's what Sugarfish does - they make things their way, and although it may not be what you expect, it's going to be good. If i had one complaint about Sugarfish, it's that the lighting is a bit too dark for me - i think the experience would be enhanced with a little more brightness in the dining room. But still, a good meal, good sushi.

I want to order "to go trust me" boxes! How many will be filling for 2 people?

It depends on how hungry each person is. But generally speaking, one box per person is appropriate. Get trust me light for small appetite and trust me for larger appetite and there's another size for really hungry people. There are descriptions and… 

Are they now, as of this date, doing outdoor dining?

Yes outdoor dining is available. Check in for seating remotely through their website. They will send a text to you to confirm you are in line, along with a link that can be used to check your place in line. Once your table is ready they will send u… 

I notice the description said SUGARFISH is two floors. I was wondering if there are elevators for wheelchairs or amputees with crutches? Or would they herd us to wait for only a lower floor table like many places in NYC do?

The top floor is a waiting room . They do have elevators but the dining takes place on the first floor

Lets say i want a 830 dinner. Am i able to go at 3pm and request for that time slot? Or do i have to go 2.5-3hrs before at 530-6pm and wait it out?

Yes, you have to go in advance and wait it out.

I downloaded the no wait app and it says special event...does this mean it's closed today 5/18/18?

It says this bc they use the NoWait system, but only allow you to get on the list itself by physically going inside. Once your name is on the list, NoWait will tell you how long you should expect to wait, how many parties are in front of you, etc.

Hello. Are you open for Memorial Day today?

No. Only closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, New Years Day, Memorial, and Labor Day.

Is there an app for wait times?

Yes. It's called No Wait.

The atmosphere here was a bit more lively and crowded compared to the more relaxed vibe of the UWS spot. I enjoyed my meal even more this time around. I started with the beet salad, which was delicious and offered great value given the generous portion size. it featured sliced beets, arugula, goat cheese, and walnuts. I also had my eye on the hijiki soybean salad--which is a bit smaller and reportedly homemade--so I may try that next time, along with the warm mushroom salad which looked very tasty. The edamame was standard but served as a nice starter. For my main rolls, I chose the salmon avocado and the yellowtail scallion. Both were very fresh and definitely worth ordering again. The salmon avocado roll had a nice touch of sesame seeds on the rice, while the yellowtail scallion was prepared with the seaweed on the outside. My boyfriend's sushi entree looked excellent, so I am considering that or the sushi-sashimi combo for my next visit. The entrees provide a substantial amount of food, and I especially appreciate that they allow you to choose which roll comes with your meal.

The slices aren't thin, delicate, and melt-in-your-mouth as one usually gets in a sit down; they are extra thick, and I had to really bite down on some of the pieces. The rice was nicely seasoned and was cooked well + portions are also big to match those thiccccc salmon slices. To be honest, I was getting a little nauseated after 5 pieces, haha~ They were definitely delicious but I'd probably just eat 3 or 4 pieces and share with a friend! It was easy to text the number on the website and coordinate a pickup time, and the staff was friendly when I arrived. The restaurant is a little hard to find as the windows are blinded and the sign is a piece of paper on the door.

The katsu was very, very moist on the inside, with a crispy batter that was so light it was almost flavorless. I honestly couldn't really tell the difference between the tenderloin and pork loin. Overall the dish had a very light flavor and I added quite a bit of sauce and wasabi. Some of the less memorable dishes were the eggplant agebitashi and truffle rice. The eggplant agebitashi tasted like a cross between an eggplant parm and a bolognese. The truffle rice had a very strong truffle flavor that ended up overpowering everything else in the dish. I thought the slices of raw button mushrooms were a little strange. I really enjoyed the sabazushi. The pieces of mackerel were thick and carried a lot of that characteristic mackerel oily flavor, but the oiliness was cut by enough vinegar to balance everything out. The niku udon was also a surprise hit. The noodles were wide, flat, super slurpy, and the broth carried a deep umami flavor. Overall, I had a pretty solid experience here.
