What a curious experience. Armed with everyone's reviews about the wait time, I arrived on purpose during the afternoon lull around 3pm. We were seated immediately at the bar. The ambiance is chic, but you already feel the sense of fast pace exuding in the atmosphere as you walk in. It does sort of feel like fast casual. I ordered a new menu, "Don't think, Just Eat"- they mentioned it is their anniversary menu. For $63, tip included, I got a well-paced meal with a variety of hand rolls, nigiri pieces, and sashimi bowls (already in sauce). The bathrooms have a nice detail- unscented soap for "before" eating and scented soap for "after" - so that you don't impact your taste buds before eating. The random casual upstairs lounge area is actually spacious and feels like a nice repose from downstairs. Lighting at the bar is well-adjusted for your perfect Instagram shots, if you care. There were some lovely scallop pieces. The albacore tuna was a standout as well. The controversy about the rice is interesting- the famous Pete Wells claims that "the rice is not only warm. It's seasoned with so much vinegar that it's almost pickled. This makes it appealingly energetic, a quality that sets it apart from the rest of the food." I agree that most of the fish tasted neutral, and that I didn't find that the salmon or tuna exhibited the usual tender heft that I expect from high quality fish. The service was pretty good considering the objectives of the restaurant. I never felt like I was waiting around too long for anything. Overall my interactions with the servers were low touch, high volume and therefore came off rather robotic. I don't think it's good enough for me to want to wait more than 10 minutes for a table here. The price point is decent enough for the volume of food, and it satisfied my craving for semi-affordable omakase-style eating. I added on two uni pieces for $15 at the end as my personal dessert, and that was fantastic. read more

The first time I had Sugarfish was in LA and I definitely think LAs was more delicious but this place was good too! We got lucky, came here on a Sunday for lunch and there was no wait. The service was super nice and attentive. The restaurant looked clean, simple, modern. As for the sushi, we got the Trust Me and everything tasted great. The fish tasted fresh, the rice had good taste. Everything was well prepared with good seasoning on the light ponzu sauces. The hand rolls came out fresh with the delicious seaweed aroma. Overall, definitely worth a try, especially if you never had the one in LA. It's worth it for the price and quality of the meal. read more

They should call this restaurant PONZUFISH instead, because they LOVE putting ponzu sauce on everything, for no reason. I'm just not understanding the hype behind SUGARFISH. Prior to dining here, I had only heard great things about this place. It originated in the West Coast, and made its way east and opened a location in Flatiron. The only bad thing I heard was that they don't accept reservations and the wait times were long, which is why I put off going. I finally got the chance to try it one December evening. For our party of four, our wait was about 20 minutes. The trick is to show up before 6 and put your names down, since it's not prime dinner time yet. Most of us ordered the 'Trust Me' ($33), which comes with edamame, tuna sashimi, two pieces of albacore sushi, two pieces of salmon sushi, one piece of yellowtail sushi, one piece of sea bass sushi, a toro hand roll, and a blue crab hand roll. All of the pieces (with the exception of the hand rolls) had ponzu in them. Don't get me wrong - I like ponzu as much as the next girl, but it's unnecessary to overuse it. I wonder how many vats of that stuff they go through per day. If it weren't for that, the meal would have been pretty good. The fish tasted fresh - apparently, they use the same fish vendor as their LA restaurants. I didn't really enjoy the blue crab hand roll. I'm not even sure if it was crab. It tasted more like canned tuna. Bottom line - don't buy into the hype. There are plenty of better sushi restaurants in NYC for the same (if not lower) price point, where you won't be drinking ponzu. read more

I have been wanting to try out this sushi spot for a while, we finally got to go during lunch time. They do not take reservation, which makes it a bit difficult, especially since this is a popular spot. We got there after the lunch rush, so we didn't have to wait too long before we got a table. We got there after the lunch rush, it was still very busy! Most of the tables were occupied, we were very lucky to get a table quickly. As for food, we were interested in their Omakase menu. They have three kinds of Omakase, and we went with the middle one called "Trust Me". This one is eight-course meal, most of them sushi pieces. It comes with Organic Edamame, Tuna Sashimi, Albacore Sushi, Salmon Sushi, Yellowtail Sushi, Sea Bass Sushi, Toro Hand Roll and Blue Crab Hand Roll. The portion is rather small, but this place is definitely quality over quantity. And we do value quality more than the quantity for sure. Each item was well crafted, high quality, tasty and most of them just melt in your mouth! The service was really great, polite and friendly. They gave us good information on the menu and dishes with a warm smile. And what is most surprising, they have NO tipping policy! The hospitality is included in the price, and yet, the service level is great. We had a really nice lunch here, my expectation was high and they did not disappoint. read more

So I loooove Sugarfish and frequent often because I'm addicted! The last few times at the flatiron location, the service has been disappointing. First I was asked if I'd like anything else with my meal before the check, and I was only halfway through the meal. Bit that's ok. Then I left the restaurant and returned forgetting my purse. The girl at the counter said, I'll be there in a moment and just stood there I told 2 others and they just stared at me. Then I told them I was anxious about my purse and would appreciate them looking or that I could look myself (at the empty table). They just stared at me. Really weird. Finally one of the girls went to retrieve my purse. It was like a power stand off.... Not the way I would have handled it. Food was excellent as usual though! read more

Can't believe it took me this long to finally try Sugarfish. Tried to come for lunch twice and both times had like a 2 hour wait. Finally my manager went to 1145AM and we got seated immediately. The "Omakase" options are the following 1. TRUST ME Lite : $23 2. TRUST ME : $33 3. THE NOZAWA - Trust Me : 45 The fact that Sugarfish is a no tipping establishment makes these prices wayyy cheap for Omakase. I went with the Nozawa of course and ordered additional sweet shrimp and uni. Those were around $10-$15 for 2 pieces, not cheap at all. My feelings going in was that it would be alright, just alright. True Omakase is a daily changing tasting menu with the freshest fish of that day being showcased by the chef. This constant tasting menu being offered in bulk orders just didn't show potential to me of being anything special. I was wrong to think that about this place. Some how it works and I'm a fan. The fish were amazingly fresh and some pieces were prepared with some sauce, so don't go using wasabi on everything now. The best thing on the tasting menu was the Albacore, followed by the very close 2nd runner up scallop sushi. Then comes the tuna sashimi and salmon sushi. Oh and the toro handroll too! The rice was a little too warm and soft though, and fell apart way too easily. Overall really loved the sushi here and would come again. Food came out quickly but not too fast to make us feel rushed in any way. For this type of "Omakase", it's great for what it is and I absolutely enjoyed every bite. read more

I've been here a couple of times. It lives up to the hype and is definitely the best sushi experience I've ever had in America. However they do it, they seem to take sushi to the next level. The seaweed is crispier, the rice is grainier, the fish tastes unreal. We did get takeout the last time and can only recommend eating it right away. We had waited half an hour and it already tasted vastly different. read more

I went to the LA branch twice years ago and had fond memories (minus the wait). There always seem to be a line out the door. I tried getting in the nyc branch but was confronted with a 3 hour wait. I made another attempt on a Monday at 3pm, no wait! I sat at the bar and ordered the lunch: trust me set menu which came with edamame, tuna sashimi chopped in a sauce, 2 piece salmon, 2 piece tuna, 2 piece yellowtail, 1 tuna roll and 1 crab roll for about $35. High quality fish and so fresh! Love the warm sushi rice and how they come out in courses so that the sushi is eaten at the right temperature. Good service and delicious meal and without the crowd! Will try to come back for a late lunch :) read more

Sugarfish exceeded my expectations in taste, quality and service! All were excellent for a reasonable price! We were hearing about Sugarfish since it opened, December 2016. We heard about the great prices, delicious sushi and Very long waits. Just the rumor of the 4 hours wait for dinner was enough to deter us. But we finally tried Sugarfish for lunch, I was very pleasantly surprised! The fish pieces are unconventionally large and not artistic, but beautiful clean and delicious. We ordered the Trust Me (9 piece menu with some pieces being duplicates). Starter was a tuna sashimi. It was coated in soy sauce and shredded scallions. The tuna was lean, not stringy and tasted like smooth tuna. The albacore and salmon sushi were delicious. The albacore was meaty, smooth and so fresh! The salmon was fatty, and sweet. It was so fatty it tasted of the consistency of o-toro. I was so surprised! The yellowtail and sea bass were fresh and very good. The yellowtail had a little too much wasabi and yuzu sauce so it masked the fish flavor but still the fish was fresh and firm. The toro hand-roll hand crispy nori and good amount of macerated toro. The blue crab hand roll was amazing! The blue crab was so fresh, meaty and had the perfect amount of sauce. It was even better than the Hand Roll I wanted another. So the Trust Me was a little too light for both of us, so we ordered Nozawa style shrimp and unagi. The unagi was fluffy and topped with sweet soy sauce. This was very good. The food amount was perfect. If I were to return, I would definitely order the Nozawa trust me (13 pieces). read more

Do yourself a favor and please come try this magnificent establishment. We had the "don't think. Just eat. Trust me." And it was a heavenly experience of sashimi and hand rolls. Washed down with a Sapporo Reserve. I come to this place at least twice a month read more

Finally tried SUGARFISH by sushi nozawa after passing by locations ten thousand times. And it was my kind of restaurant. Why? Because half the name is capitalized, while they other half is completely lowercase. Just kidding. I went here with my girlfriend before seeing a concert in midtown. It was a crazy good value. We both ordered the "Nozawa - trust me." Which was only $52/each INCLUDING tip. In Manhattan. All the fish we got tasted fresh. The food came out quickly. The service was fine. I definitely recommend coming here at least once if you like sushi. Note - we got there at 5pm on a Monday so there was no wait. The reason I haven't tried this place sooner is because it doesn't accept reservations. I can imagine there would be a longer wait later in the evening/on a weekday. Plan accordingly. read more

I ordered take out from here tonight and it was amazing! I had the Trust Me combo and it was a great price for the amount of food and the quality. There were 16 pieces of sushi, a few slices of sashimi, and edamame for $40. The fish was great quality - it all tasted delicious and fresh. The box came packaged with sauces and toppings (e.g., scallions) on the side. They had a really cute box for take out that detailed how to prepare each piece of sushi with all of the toppings. I really liked each and every piece of food that came with this combo. They were also nice about accommodating a kosher diet, and let me make substitutions to the combo based on my diet. The food was also ready really quickly (probably about 20-25 mins after I ordered). I am so happy with this experience and would do this again. I have dined in at Sugarfish pre-COVID and while I really liked the food then, the entire meal felt like I was being rushed through. They would bring the next course before we were done with the current course, and they would try to take dishes away while we were still working on them. All in all, I had a much more enjoyable experience doing take out as opposed to dining in - so take advantage of this now! read more

I finally understand why everyone's been raving about SUGARFISH. The food, service, ambiance: everything was better than expected. My friend and I decided to come on a weekday night to avoid the dreaded wait time. We arrived around 5:30 PM to drop off our names and was informed a 45 - 60 minute wait. You're sent a text confirmation and when you're at the top of the list they send you another text so you could start heading back. My friend and I both ordered the TRUST ME set, with an additional order of the bay scallops sushi (2 pcs per order). TRUST ME is a nine course set: starting with edamame and tuna sashimi, following with sushi, and ending with hand rolls. We were devouring plate after plate of sushi. Everything we had was just so fresh, and the rice to sushi proportions were perfect. I loved that service was so attentive and informative - perfect for first timers like me. They advised us to eat the hand rolls as soon as it arrived, to ensure the nori would still be crispy when you bit into it. The servers also recommend that you only use soy sauce for the pieces that don't already have sauce. Some of the best sushi I've ever had for only $39? I'm already planning my next visit. read more

Such fresh sushi and really nice place to get fresh rolls. Would recommend to anyone looking for good food

My son and husband love this place. Excellant warm sushi rice lightly rolled topped with cold fish. Best sashimi outside of Japan they say. The service is impeccable and fast. The prices are amazing . The decor simple, elegant with clean lines . Modern Japanese style. Low lighting in the evening, high noise level on a Saturday night . The place for fine Japanese with sublime sushi. read more

The website (https://sugarfishsushi.com/locations/flatiron/) clearly states, "we do not take reservations." We arrived around 6PM on 11/30/2023 and were promptly asked by the hostess if we had a reservation. There was a wait of 45 tables. If the website stated that reservations were accepted, we would have made one. read more

Decent sushi for NYC. The waitlist is generally long (I think at 6:30pm I was the 16th on a waitlist for a table of 2 on a Saturday; we ended up being seated around 7:30pm-8pm). But time passed as I was catching up with a friend. The ambiance of the restaurant is dark and the 'Trust Me' Omakase experience can feel a bit rushed, but even after we paid the bill my friend and I ended up talking most of the night and we were never rushed off our table, which I appreciated. Overall, probably a solid spot for a date or to catch up with friends, with decent sushi quality for a reasonable price in NYC. I can see why it's popular. read more

Sugarfish first became well known in the LA sushi scene for offering affordable and fast omakase that was surprisingly good quality for the price. This location pretty well does its OG LA location justice. I will say that the fish is still fresher in LA, but that's in general. Trying to find fresh sashimi in NYC usually ends in a travesty or a three figure bill. Sugarfish successfully brings tasty and affordable sashimi to NYC, for which I am grateful. Just be ready for a super long wait, unless you come at an odd hour! read more

I was very excited to finally try Sugarfish after hearing so many positive things about it both on the east and west coast. Unfortunately, this location failed to deliver. The price is quite nice for the amount of food you get, however there are better establishments that give you an equally great value, better service, and a better overall experience. My entire party, excluding 1, ordered the same omakase menu and we all ordered the same a la carte item. The lighting is very dim and the omakase service was awful. We had 6 people in our party and our omakase orders were messed up multiple times. The experience was made even more uncomfortable and confusing because waitresses would literally run to our table, drop off serving portions for only 1-2 people at the table, disappear, then 3 minutes later a different waitress would come and drop off a couple more servings for 2 other people in our group. This would continue until everyone in our party had the same plate. It made for an awkward dining experience because everyone in the group would have to wait around 7-10 minutes for everyone to be served before we could enjoy the sushi. At that point, the sushi was soggy. Moreover, the waitresses would mumble what the offerings were and abruptly run away or even worse, genuinely say they were not certain which pieces were what type of fish. I was shocked that at a sushi restaurant, they weren't familiar with their omakase offerings. As for the actual food, it was okay. Nothing spectacular and the experience was certainly very underwhelming. TLDR: based on this experience, I would not return and I would not recommend. read more

I didn't think I can have an orgasm in my mouth. But holy moly, sugar fish is where it is at, man. I thought I had the best sushi ever but nah. This is a whole new league and honestly, the best I ever had. The rice is warm...? Which is new to me and didn't expect that at all, but it melted with the albacore in my mouth. I had to pace myself because the food was delicious. The way the restaurant's menu is basically prefix menus. I ordered one of their trust menus and you're supposed to eat as they're served. So throw out social etiquette out the damn window. The food also comes in 2-4 pieces which encourages you to dine slowly and interact with your guest(s). It makes the food and experience more enjoyable btw. Versus inhaling our food like animals lol. Also, the they're are seasoned and there is no need for the soy sauce per se. and the wasabi? Fresh. High quality. It's amazing how little you can use and you're dripping from your nose lol. Staff is attentive. Wait is very long. They don't do reservations. You may wait up to like 2 hours.... which we did... read more

3 stars, review of the trust me omakase For me, the most memorable items of this set are the toro hand roll and crab hand roll. I think everything else tasted better than average but not particularly memorable, and that's why I give it 3 stars. I did add an order of uni (which comes in 2pcs) on top of the omakase and I would add 1/2 a star to my review just for this one item. It was absolutely bursting to the brim with uni and tasted so gooood. Alas, the yummy uni is not enough for me to come back again. read more

Let me start off and say the food quality and taste were really great. The only reason for 3 stars was that the rice was warm and fell apart for every single piece we received. Not sure if they were rushing the process but good sushi rice should be formed and can picked up with your fingers and chopsticks. Hopefully, this isn't their usual way of serving rice! read more

Heard nothing but rave reviews about this place in Los Angeles so decided to see if the New York location was up to par. Yes, in my opinion it really was. If Sushi (not rolls) is your thing, come here. The fish is really fresh, the rice is delicious and served warm, and the prices are great. About $3-4 a piece for most of the non-specialty sushi varieties. Was about to snag about 12 pieces of really high quality stuff for $50. Is it Sushi Yasuda? No, but its half the price for most of the quality. read more

Best experience and the most delicious food that I've ever had in sushi restaurant 5-stars! Would recommend to anyone!

Love eating here! I come here often whenever I need to take someone to a place with good food and no reservations. They can get pretty busy, so would recommend arriving around noon on weekends to get a table. The Trust Me is a good portion - love that the sushi is pre-sauced so that there's great flavor. read more

I'm telling you, this place is the best, freshest sushi I've had. The trust me menus give all the trust in the world. So good! They are right by my office in NYC and every time I travel in, they are a must have. The people that work there have been nothing but pleasant and seem like they love their jobs. Always a good experience. Thank you for giving me the sushi experience I love! read more

Sugarfish is responsible for my disdain for most every other sushi restaurant I've gone to after my first experience here. The freshness of the fish is AMAZING and the quality is second to none. Seems to always be a wait unless you go around 11pm, but it's well worth it to put your name down. I tend to lean towards the Nozawa Trust Me and am never let down. I eat fish here that I don't eat elsewhere because I'm sensitive to overly fishy smells and tastes. The flavors are light and subtle, basically perfect if you're not looking for a heavy meal. The tuna sashimi, salmon sushi, unagi sushi, large scallop sushi, blue crab hand roll, and toro hand roll are my faves. Sugarfish is a non tipping restaurant and the service is very attentive. One time, the server stated the wrong daily special as being large scallop sushi when it was actually unagi for that night--and we ended up getting both on the house. I love it here! read more

Oh, yes, this place is awesome---and is as good as everyone says! The sushi (and everything else) it's so tasty and fresh! Like a lot if people reviewing here, I got one of the Trust Me lunch special (I got the largest one - $45). I was a little worried that it was not going to be enough food to fill me up. But, I was wrong! Succulent and delicious. A work colleague had recommended this place for taking an intern out to lunch whose last day was upcoming. I was totally glad for this recommendation because it was spot on! We were all thrilled and delighted how good. I would definitely go back here for a special occasion any time read more

Overall: The restaurant is unique, a traditional Japanese with a modern twist. The place has the perfect darker atmosphere for a date or a small group of friends. It is important to mention that Sugarfish does not take reservations, therefore be ready to wait at least 20-30 minutes to be seated during the weekend. Nevertheless, the waiting is worth it! Food: The menu is simple to navigate, and the service is quick and straight to the point. When choosing what to eat, do not hesitate in asking the waiter/waitress for advice! For the best experience, I'd recommend going with one of their tasting menus. There are limited options when it comes to alcohol (wine, beer, and sake only). read more

On the Friday after the 4th I finally had the chance to try this place after what felt like forever having it bookmarked and hearing rave reviews from my friends. Was it the best sushi I've ever had before in my life? No, but the bar is high. Do I wish this place took reservations so I wasn't stuck waiting 45 minutes to sit (and that's on the shorter side, I've heard)? Yes, definitely. But was it still an absolute steal for really solid omakase? Yes, and that's exactly what I was hoping to find. They recommend trying one of three omakase options - I opted for the "Trust Me" or the middle of the three. It's slightly abridged compared to the Nozawa trust me, which also includes a daily special (it was scallop when I went) but I don't feel like I missed out on much. We started with edamame (a generous portion, no less) and tuna sashimi, which was wonderfully flavored and super fresh. The two friends I went with also really enjoyed it and heralded it as one of their favorite bites during the meal. Next, a long line of sushi - albacore, salmon, yellowtail, and sea bass. The yellowtail was one of my favorites, although my friends preferred the albacore. All were phenomenal. The complaint I've heard from many that the rice is too vinegary was not echoed among my group; although it was heavy on the vinegar compared to other nice-ish sushi spots, I actually think I preferred it. Then, two hand rolls - toro and blue crab. The toro was actually a little disappointing although I can't put my finger on exactly why. It's obviously one of the most expensive types of fish you can get and it's generally my favorite, but this roll didn't do much for me and I actually highly preferred the blue crab, which was incredible. The pacing of dishes was much better than expected given some comments in other reviews - despite one member of my group getting the Nozawa trust me, everything came out in a timely manner and was well-coordinated. Service was nothing to note and I wish they had explained some of the fish better, but hey, it's a no-tipping joint so it's tough to complain. The place itself is really chic on the inside and the bathrooms upstairs have both unscented and scented hand soap for before and after eating, respectively. All in all, hands down some of the best sushi you can get for $50 ish per person. In terms of quality I'd put it at Sushi on Jones or Tomoe but with a much nicer dining experience. read more

Pretty average all around, not bad for a snack but probably won't be back. Not a lot of flavor for these fish that are local

Sugarfish is one of my favorite sushi places. I would say I think the sushi was much better at the LA locations I've been to though. Anyway, there was a bit of a wait but was expected so we had some drinks at the bar across the street and then more sake at the counter when we walked back in. The fish here is so buttery! And the sushi rice has some sweetness to it, in a good way. I usually get the middle menu since it's not too little not too much, just right amount of food. Unless you're super hungry then get the biggest one. read more

This is a very authentic feeling sushi restaurant. The fish is FRESHHHH and delicious. Also, the pricing is fantastic. What a great value! I left feeling like I got my money's worth which, unfortunately, doesn't always happen at a sushi restaurant in NYC. This is one of those "tip is already included" set ups. I LOVE IT!

It's not too loud so you can actually hear each other talk and it feels very intimate. read more

By far the best sushi on the East Coast! Once I had Sugarfish, it ruined any other sushi restaurants for me. They do not take reservations, but you can order a drink (wine/beer/sake only) and sit upstairs in their lounge. Usually, we will put our name in and go down the street to a bar. When you are nearing the top of the list, the restaurant will text you so you know when to head back over. On a Saturday night, be prepared to wait 1-2 hours for your table- BUT do not let that turn you away...it's worth the wait! I typically order the trust me lite, and it's more than enough food for me. My husband usually orders a la carte. The chef recommends you to eat the food as soon as it comes out - especially anything with seaweed. My favorites on the trust me lite menu, are the albacore sushi and the toro hand roll. Usually my husband and I will order an extra toro roll to split, because it is that amazing and fresh. We are big sushi fans, and this is actually our favorite restaurant. The sushi is prepared perfectly and is extremely fresh. If you are wanting to try this restaurant but not willing to do the wait, one of the slowest times that I have seen is a Sunday afternoon during football season. We have gotten in several times with minimal wait (maybe 15 mins). Just to note- they will not seat you until your entire party has arrived. read more

I'm from LA and am a bonafide SugarFish junkie so finding out that one opened in NY was like finding out Santa is real. I was really frickin excited. The wait can be extreme and I'm not good at waiting for food so today was my first experience. I came solo at 5:30p on a Friday and was sat immediately in the back at the bar. I went with my usual: Trust Me but sub scallops for salmon and cut rolls instead of hand. I was not disappointed!!!! It holds up. The fish is just as fresh and every bite melted in my mouth. Special notes: You don't tip here, as is customary in Japan and real Japanese establishments. Also, the waiters are very knowledgeable and helpful with substitutions so definitely ask questions. Daniel is especially wonderful. Run, don't walk, but please don't take my seat!!!!! read more

SUGARFISH | Flatiron - The menu - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

The. Hype. Is. Real. I'm glad expanding the franchise has not diluted the quality and taste of SUGARFISH. It is every bit as delicious as the LA locations (and trendy). My friend and I got super lucky on Saturday when we went for dinner. We planned to put our name in and then go shopping in the area until our names were called (no reservations here!), but a table just got cancelled for 2 as we walked in. We immediately snatched them. We didn't go for the Trust Me because we wanted to share and sample a larger selection of dishes. My favorites were the blue crab (surprising because I don't tend to like crab), large scallops, and the albacore. The toro was probably the biggest letdown comparatively; it was good but not perfection like the other fish had been. Honestly for the price, I would eat everything twice over. Delicious freshness at a reasonable price - what's not to love? read more
