Fantastic value ($35) for high quality omakase, nice ambiance and friendly service. Unpretentious and focused on the simplicity and quality of ingredients, reminds me more of Japan. No tipping policy, no reservations and come with your entire party.

I love the concept of "Sugarfish" and I have been a regular primarily in Calabasas location which is the closest to my home. Couple weeks ago I had an amazing experience in Santa Monica location which inspired me to write this review. The food is excellent like in any other location (Nozawa Trust me is what I usually go for) however what sets this location apart is amazing team who made so much difference in my experience. I would like to give a special thanks to Abby and Alyssa (the servers) , Hana (the host) , Brian (the store manager) and Austin (regional manager). All of them were extremely accommodating with my food preferences, knowledgeable, genuine, kind and fun to talk to. After spending over an hour enjoying delicious and fresh sushi I felt like I was just amongst great friends/family members. Congratulation Sugarfish by Nozawa Santa Monica on selecting such a fantastic team of people who can take your dining experience to the next level. Cannot wait to be back!Parking: there is plenty of parking structures in the area where the first 90 min is free

Highly recommend the albacore belly if it's one of their rotating specialties!
I visited this sushi spot with my spouse while exploring Santa Monica for the day. The fish was incredibly fresh and the service was great! Everything we ordered tasted amazing and we’re looking forward to the next time we can make it back.Parking: Parking is paid in a garage next door, but the restaurant covers half of the cost!

Unbeatable omakase style menu sets at an affordable price. The sushi is great and a perfect date night vibe. Setting is a little dark/intimate for a casual dinner but decent for lunch. Usually really packed with about 1hr wait and no reservation so plan ahead and maybe grab a drink elsewhere while you wait.
