EaterNovember 6, 2013The rice is seasoned perfectly and the fish, hand-selected by Nozawa, might be as good could be at this price point. With many locations, it's L.A.'s patented sushi concept with remarkable quality.Upvoted Feb 25
Social News NetworkAugust 14, 2013The downtown Sugarfish is a small, intimate sushi place perfect for dates and small groups. They don't take reservations or seat incomplete parties, but the wait is worth it. Order the Trust Me!
JY GBDecember 24, 2018OMG, the tuna sushi and sashimi here can be compared to the ones at Tsukiji fish market in Tokyo. Seriously. Try the albacore sushi while you're at it. Also, I can recommend the 'Trust Me' menu
Trust Me Lite + Uni = Best and most satisfying meal ever. I could eat here every day. Always good and consistent experience. Takeout is available but not recommended - it doesn’t do the meal justice!
Christin ROctober 6, 2016It wounds my soul to watch people soak their sushi in soy sauce here. Seriously, you don't need it. The fish is so flavorful and fresh, it's a crime to cover it up.
Large scallops & salmon sushi are my favorites, with the blue crab hand roll coming in a close second. If you're hungry & it's a good daily special, then "The Nozawa" is usually the better deal.- Pocket SunAugust 30, 2014Simple menu to navigate. Sushi, rolls and sashimi are pretty much all there is. Excellent quality, housemade ponzu and soy, rice melts in your mouth. No dessert. The wait is about 45-60 mins.
Global HighlanderAugust 30, 2014Great sushi place with a very particular way of doing things. If there is a long wait, head over to Bottega Louie for drinks and appetizers.
Bobby PerezFebruary 19, 2015By far thee best first experience at sushi. Love the ambience definitely perfect for a date. The lights are dim and it's more or an intimate setting. Service is just wonderfu- Pocket SunAugust 30, 2014Old school Japanese style sushi. Crispy seaweed, warm rice and fresh fish make perfect hand rolls. Set menus are nicely paced and bring satisfaction to the taste buds.
AmateurConciergeAugust 6, 2016Is this the best sushi you'll have in LA? No. Is this as good as a full sushi meal can possibly be for $30? Probably. Albacore is the move- Kassi NopratvarakornAugust 13, 2018Don’t expect rolls here dripping with sauce, the menu is simple and elegant and the quality of the fish can’t be beat. Get the “trust me” and you won’t regret it.
Paul SchultzAugust 2, 2012Sometimes I don't feel like the rolls and I just want the great sushi and rice--although it's no longer on the menu, you can still order the Trust Me "no roll" and it's all sushi #downtownla #sushi
Natalie KSeptember 18, 2016Some of the best sushi I've ever had. If you sit at the bar, the waiter instructs you on how to eat each piece for maximum flavor.
Jennie SweatJuly 22, 2012This is hands-down the best sushi I have ever had. Munch down the hand rolls as soon as you get them, the yellowtail is ORGASMIC and I'm actually convinced there isn't a bad dish on the menu.
Best sushi I've ever had in my entire mother-loving life. Hands down. Warm rice is the key.
Will KivinskiApril 23, 2013The Nozawa selection was awesome. The Chef's Special was the scallops. No need to soy sauce at any point. Simple is better! I preferred sushi over hand rolls.
Danyel SmithFebruary 8, 2015the hype is real. your 'trust' will not be betrayed. the seaweed is crisp the tuna is fatty the salmon's like butter and the sake punches like tequila. #yum
Cara LauFebruary 27, 2018You might think it’s overrated because so many celebrities have recommended it, but it’s not. They have three tasting menus to choose from, and all of them will impress. No need to dress up too much.
Elizabeth PriceMarch 30, 2014Best sushi in DTLA. Super fresh, and you can read about their commitment to ethical food practices on the back of the menu.
Andy FrancoDecember 16, 2015If you love fresh sashimi, you came to the right place. Order the Nozawa to get a great experience of flavors!
Wins for best sushi downtown. Don't come here for fancy rolls, just great quality fish. The rice is perfectly warmed, the fish very fresh. Go for the "trust me" and remember most don't need soy sauce!- Benson BleierMarch 3, 2016Love this chain of sushi restaurants. Would highly recommend for any sushi lover.
Kenji ArakawaOctober 5, 2011The "Trust Me" sushi / sashimi combo is just perfect. Fish is incredibly fresh and melt in your mouth tender. And the rice - that beautiful, warm, fluffy, loosely packed rice.
This downtown location always seems to struggle compared to the others, but the fish was just as good, and let's be real, nobody is going to Sugarfish for their customer service
DailyCandyFebruary 14, 2014Unlike most sushi spots, there are no chefs in sight. Put your trust in chef Nozawa’s simplified menu of top-quality fish, consistently fresh across all eight local outposts.- JP SMay 8, 2015Buttery sushi on warm rice is an amazing combination. Order the Trust me light if you've got a small appetite.
Tera DoanJanuary 7, 2015the sushi rice is warm so don't spend eternity taking the perfect pictures. Your rice would have cooled down by then and be lame
Haley VingsnessJanuary 30, 2015Wait is long, but the food is fast -- seated to check in less than 45 minutes. Rice is very sweet and a little too tangy. Fish melts in your mouth.
Josh PylesJanuary 31, 2019Their rice is amazing! The “trust me “is classic, or go “don’t think just eat” if you’re hungry.
Connie ChiuApril 4, 2015Honestly, the unagi was the best. The tuna sashimi second. Their policy of no outside food is super strict. Wouldn't let us celebrate a birthday with a tiny cake and the restaurant wasn't even busy.
Pleasure PalateNovember 7, 2010When you order any of the hand rolls, be sure to eat right away so that you can experience some of the crispiest nori you've ever had. Wait too long and the nori gets a little more chewier.
Nicole PAugust 19, 2017Delicious and simple sushi (no deep fried rolls with mayonnaise!) for a reasonable price.
Angela CheeseboroJuly 4, 2015We felt rushed. They were bringing out the next course before we even started the first course. The Hollywood location is better.
Take their advice and either get the "Trust Me" or the "Nozawa" -- everything Soooo good.
heathr goldSeptember 22, 2014Phenomenal sushi. You can't go wrong. The hamachi is insane. The rice, the tops.
trust me. large scallops, albacore, and the blue crab hand roll are the things you must order. with an orion.
Petteri UusimaaMarch 22, 2017Nice selection of very tasty sushi pieces and rolls. Eel as chef's special was a grown for the menu.
XiulungJune 3, 2018Disappointing Trust Me. Found bones, scales, and crab shell in my food. Used too much ponzu sauce, not very creative and overpowered the fish. Nigiri: fish too cold, rice too warm, rice fell apart.
Christine HaMay 24, 2016Well priced "trust me"/omakase menu. Great quality & value. Multiple locations. 🍣
Kelley L.March 14, 2015They no longer support the Sugarfish app. You earn points and rewards by filling out a card when your bill arrives, and they manually track for you.
Serena LiuMarch 1, 2011The Trust Me was really good although I'm really full now. There's parking at the Athena Structure on Grand. They validate at night, but not during the day.
DJ 🫏🤖November 18, 2022Food is excellent but it’s so damn dark it almost takes away from the whole experience.
Rachel ElnarFebruary 20, 2011It's hard to enjoy a meal here when the chef's orders are to eat the food in a timely fashion, the waiters remind you not to add soy sauce to some fish items, and the service is rushed.
Kate YuMay 22, 2014Have no regrets for coming ! Amazing fresh fish! Simple but awesome taste of each nigiri!
