The best omakase sushi experience I've ever had! Everything was so fresh and delicate you can tell they take their time with this fine dining we each ordered the "trust me" meal and it was more than enough food!

Blue Blue and Dungeness Crab Hand Roll will always be my fav

Been a sugarfish fan for years and finally got to try another location. This one is small and intimate per usual. We came for an early dinner and beat the crowd which was great. This location actually had the Hirame sushi which was so exciting since we haven't been able to get it at any other locations in years since it's always sold out. The service was quick and they were kind. I will say the busier it got the less attentive they were and forgot to fill our water and ginger. Though I love sugarfish, the proximity of your table to others will always be really uncomfortable and awkward for me as people literally have to press up against your table to sit in the booth directly next to you which has always been really weird to me. But the food was great as always. It's sadly over $100 for us to get the trust me and nozawa trust me which feels pretty high but the quality of fish is always exceptional.

Always a safe and quick go to when craving for quality sushi-The Nozawa Trust Me is our go to and the always seem to deliver no matter the location. This time also ordered the pink lobster which was the bomb!!!! In case you haven't been to sugar fish before, they provide four set menus/omakase at a very generous price. The one we ordered is about middle tier but great quality and pretty filling. - Tuna sashimi in ponzu and chive. Very vinaigrette starter (I love vinegar anything - Next you get two albacore and two salmon sushi each with its signature chive and sesame toppings to give it an aesthetic twist. Very fresh - this is followed by a Toro hand roll. No extra fillings but pure fish and seaweed roll which allows you to taste the fish and its fatty delight - this is followed by tuna (2), yellowtail (2), sea bream with citrus salt (1 piece and my favorite), and Hiram (1) sushi. All fantastic - you end with a bluefin tuna hand roll. Honestly not a huge fan of bluefin tuna in general but you can request for an alternative. - I also added the pink lobster sushi which was just DIVIne Also, each meal comes with an edamame app so no need to order. Of course you want to go for à la carte you can. Just feel the menu is a better buck for your money.

Stopped by here as the kids were craving sushi, and we were nearby. It was delicious! The fish was fresh, and service was friendly. It also did not break the bank which was a bonus. Service was on point. Cups were always filled, and they described each dish as it came out so we knew what we were eating. My recommendation is to get the Trust Me omakase (we got the Nozawa Trust Me) so you are able to try a bit of everything. They even offered to change a hand roll into regular rolls since they knew I was sharing some of the courses with my kids. Nice touch. The bathrooms also have both scented and unscented soaps, the latter for prior to your meal. There's a parking garage across the street which was very convenient. If you haven't tried Sugarfish before, it's definitely worth stopping by. I imagine all their locations are pretty tasty.

Sugarfish is like the In n Out of sushi restaurant, the quality is consistent, it never disappoints. They have locations all around. There are obviously better places, but also come with a higher price point. * Wait time could be longer if you trying to walk in on a weekend, we waited for 30 mins. So make reservations if possible We both got the Nozawa Trust Me, the portion is enough to make you feel full after the dinner. Everything is fresh, the nori hand rolls are great (prefer the toro more to the snow crab one). Everything is a solid 7-8/10, favourite is the Tuna and Chutoro Sashimi, scallop nigiri and the Hirame sushi that comes with yuzu ponzu sauce. It's a staple for sushi and won't disappoint, if you want a casual sushi meal. Ambience and service are okay, nothing exquisite. It's a casual spot that's clean and has great quality control, there are always better places but this won't go wrong.

I had a great time at sugarfish. We had a party of two, arrived at 830, and were seated within 25 minutes. We were celebrating a birthday but they do not do any special dessert or drink for birthdays. We both ordered the tasty me and it was fantastic taste and value. The fish felt fresh and each piece was well marinated. It truly was too much food and I struggled to even finish the dishes. I can't wait to return for another meal the next time I'm in town! NOTE: the tables are pretty close together so conversations can be a bit difficult to have if you struggle focusing in loud environments.

Fine dining ambiance with luxe interior and high class service. My friends and I came in immediately after watching the dodgers win the World Series at a bar close by and were quickly helped to a table before closing. We tried to be quick with our orders and did their Trust Me menu option which features rounds of quality sashimi, edamame, and lovely hand rolls. I had some of their green tea to help ease my throat from the World Series cheering and chowed down all the plates so fast i couldn't help it! I was pleasantly surprised with the chunky and delicious quality of the fish for an arguable outstanding price. You're getting premier bites, upscale service in a beautiful dining room. The plates came out fast and their presentation was excellent. The attention to detail and focus on the customer was obvious. I'd love returning to dine here. Their staff was friendly, the space is romantic, and it's a quick stop for a sushi fix!

Not sure how it took me this long to finally try SUGARFISH, but it was honestly well worth the wait. Anything from the Sushi Nozawa Group has to be amazing. I went to the Beverly Hills location on a weekend and this spot was packed. We were lucky to be seated so quickly! I started with an iced green tea (refills are free and you can take a cup to go) which was delightful. I split the Nozawa Trust Me with another person and it was the perfect portion size. The courses started with edamame. Then came tuna and chutoro sashimi which was insanely delicious. The rest of the courses were albacore sushi, salmon sushi, toro hand roll, chutoro sushi, Japanese yellowtail sushi, New Zealand sea bream sushi, Hirame sushi, and blue and dungeness crab hand roll. WOW. We also added a scallop sushi which was so sweet and fresh. Everything was incredible, can't wait to come back again.

First time going and it was amazing! The fish was so fresh and melted in my mouth. I ordered the nozawa trust me box and I loved that they brought each set out at a time so you didn't get everything all at once! Highlights were the tuna and chutoro sashimi with ponzu and chives. I didn't really enjoy the toro hand roll but the crab hand roll was perfection, it had just the right amount of sweetness using the blue and Dungeness crabs! Everything tasted fresh, clean and high quality and the I loved the mood lighting while enjoying a great meal.

Sugarfish Beverly Hills lives up to its reputation when it comes to quality. While I've heard people say it can be overhyped, the fish truly speaks for itself. Every bite was incredibly fresh, clean, and perfectly prepared -- the kind of sushi that almost melts in your mouth like butter. Simple, unfussy, and focused on letting the fish shine. Def would come back!

I love Sugarfish! It's a very approachable place for people new to Omakase and a good reliable spot for more seasoned Omakase enjoyers. It's always very consistent. The fish tastes fresh and the rice is perfectly prepared. I always order the Nozawa Trust Me and I feel like it has the perfect amount of food. I 've been to multiple locations all over California, but the Beverly Hills location is the one I've most frequently visited. They are all extremely solid and consistent. Great service, always good food, and a great spot for some casual Omakase.

Nicky F.

The best sushi experience we've ever had. From the incredible service (our sake cups were NEVER empty, shoutout to the GM Sue), to the multiple rounds of delicious, unique seafood, to the genuine passion from the head chef, it was one of those evenings that left a lasting imprint. And the ambiance was a perfect blend of traditional Japanese cuisine and a modern, exclusive LA atmosphere. We can't wait to go back. Could not recommend this place enough.

What's the best time to beat the rush on a Sunday?

You can go right when they open (11:30am). With all the new locations open, the wait is not as crazy as it used to be. I would also go during non-lunch, non-dinner times...like 2p-4p is usually a good time to grab a table.

What time do they open for dinner? What's the best time to go to beat the rush on a Sat eve?

3pm is dinner

Do they let you bring in a birthday dessert?

Do they take reservations ever?

Gluten free dishes?

Sushi and sashimi... rice is gluten-free

Are there Vegan options?

No. This wouldn't be a place for vegans.

SERVICE From the careful and individual packaging to the adorable note they included, service was awesome besides the delivery time. It took 1.5 hours to deliver from the time ordered. FOOD We tried several items and although the sashimi was fresh, the cost was way too pricey especially for the rolls that were mediocre. SPICY SALMON HANDROLL- delicious with a slight kick! Although the seaweed was a bit soggy after the long delivery time. 4/5 SALMON AVO - aesthetically pleasing but lacked flavor 2/5 SALMON TRUFFLE - the truffle sea butter sauce was real heavy for me, but the fish was fresh and delicious. 3/5 UNI SCALLOP - uni was not fishy at all and the scallop was hearty. 5/5 DOUBLE T TRUFFLE TORO - the truffle just melts in your mouth! Toro was slightly on the tougher side. 3/5 EMMA - seared fatty tuna toro, yummy ! 5/5 HYE - yellowtail belly hamachi was refreshing and perfectly tender 5/5 SALMON BELLY - fresh! Nothing special. 4/5 MR CRAB - made with langostino and mayo, crispy shrimp tempura, and some kind of oyster sauce. Could be better and not worth it for the cost. 2/5 TUNA CITRUS - very pretty to look at, but lacked flavor. Not much tuna either. 2/5 OVERALL Would come back to dine in person, but wouldn't go for any of their pressed rolls or individual. Their sashimi is fresh, but definitely overpriced.

The staff was friendly, professional, and welcoming throughout the evening. There were some delays in getting a few of the dishes to the table, but the service itself was still good and the servers did their best to take care of us. The food was fresh, high quality, and definitely enjoyable. However, I'm someone who loves fine dining and high-end restaurants, so I tend to be very picky when it comes to reviews. While everything we ordered tasted very good, there wasn't a single dish that really stood out as unique or unforgettable. Nothing made me stop and think, "Wow, I've never had anything like this before." The food was delicious, but not necessarily memorable. The pricing is on the expensive side, but that's also what you would expect for a restaurant of this caliber and location, so I don't consider that a negative. Overall, we had a nice evening, enjoyed the food, and appreciated the service. I would absolutely consider coming back in the future to try more items from the menu. Maybe there are some signature dishes that we missed this time around. If a future visit impresses me a little more, I could definitely see this becoming a 5-star review. For now, it's a solid 4 stars from me.

We primarily go to…read morethe Aspen location now, which is consistently fantastic -- truly a 10/10 experience every time -- so we were excited to come back to the original Matsuhisa on La Cienega. Unfortunately, this visit was incredibly disappointing. We also didn't realize the restaurant had expanded. We were seated in the newer secondary room rather than the main dining room, and honestly, we felt like an afterthought. It was a Tuesday night and the room was practically empty, so there really wasn't an explanation for the lack of service. Our waitress briefly came over to take our drink order, then disappeared. One of my drinks was forgotten, which in itself would not have been a big deal, but then we sat for approximately 18 minutes without anyone returning to take our food order. No one checked on us at all. Eventually, I had to get up and go back to the front desk, where the staff were thankfully very kind and apologetic. I explained that no one had been to our table in 18 minutes and that we were in a hurry. Unfortunately, the food did not make up for the service. We ordered many of the things we normally get: vegetable tempura, albacore, salmon and other sushi, miso soup, chicken skewers, rice, and the creamy spicy shrimp. The creamy spicy shrimp was very good, but much of the rest was surprisingly underwhelming. The miso soup tasted completely different from what we remembered and was incredibly salty. The biggest surprise was the rice. It was overcooked and somehow managed to be mushy and hard at the same time. For a restaurant of this caliber, we honestly could not believe the side of rice was that poorly prepared. We have had so many wonderful experiences with Matsuhisa over the years, which made this visit even more disappointing. Between the lack of service, being seemingly forgotten in the secondary dining room, and several food-quality issues, this simply did not feel like the Matsuhisa experience we know. Unfortunately, we have to give this location two stars and will not be returning. We'll stick with the Aspen location, which continues to be exceptional. We are genuinely sad to say that because we expected so much more from Matsuhisa.

I'm normally put off by the aftertaste of tuna, even at expensive omakase, but this chutoro had none of that and I could actually appreciate the flavor of the fish. What surprised me most was the California rolls. They're massive, rolled perfectly, and actually packed with filling. What made my meal was taking a slice, putting a piece of my sashimi on top, and eating it together. Basically a cracked out rainbow roll for a fraction of the price. The crab roll was solid too.

It's more suited for smaller groups so I recommend your max party size be around 3-4 people. The pricing for the 17 course omakase menu we had was quite reasonable with picing at $195 per person with + 18% service fee and after tax it came out to be around $250 per person! The value and service you get here is phenomenal and it's one of the better priced options for omakase in LA.

NOTE: Dined in on 10/27/24…read more Definitely want to write a couple of reviews before the end of the year to shine some light on restaurants that really need some more love here on Yelp. Rockpool sounds a little generic for a sushi spot, but the quality of the fish is quite delicious for the value. In particular, the lunch omakase is probably amongst the best sushi deals I've had for a sitdown spot. I'd definitely take it into consideration over let's say... Sugarfish. People often talk about how "fresh" fish tastes at sushi restaurants, but I feel like the best raw fish is often aged to an extent. The taste of the fish here is good, but I don't feel that they always use the best cuts. For example, the otoro was tasty, but it was not as marbled as I'm used to seeing. That said, another critically important and often overlooked component of sushi, particularly in handrolls and nigiri, is the rice. The rice here is delicately warm, pairs well with the fish, and has a pleasant, slightly sweet and vinegary taste. Simply delightful. The miso soup was also quite delicious, with a hearty, deep, set of flavors in the soup stock, and the scallop hand roll here was so good, I forgot to take a photo before devouring it haha. The lunch special should be enough food for most folks, but you're always welcome to add additional items to it! Now, is it good enough for me to try the more expensive dinner courses? Debatable, but it might be... just barely! The value proposition is hard to ignore, though. It's certainly one of the best deals you'll find on the Westside.
