SUGARFISH by sushi nozawa

Atmosphere was pretty good for young people. Food was just ok for the price. I assume a new cook cut the fish and cooked the rice. It was a busy day with many customers so the rice was still hot for the sushi. Maybe they didn’t have time to prepare sushi rice with proper temperature. Any staff didn’t take used plates every time even though there were no space for the new plates. The table was very small for 3. Service was very awkward.

Dimly lit ambience and simple yet quality sushi. The menu makes it easy to order. Reasonably priced set meals and sushi a la carte are both available. The fish is superb and fresh. The rice is served warm. Added bonus: no need to tip! Would gladly return.

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.
