For the sushi purist only, which I am but my wife isn't. If you want California rolls and the like, this is not the place. But, INCREDIBLE quality at mid-pricing, it almost seamed cheap for what you get. Best sea urchin serving/preparation I have ever had. Even the house sake was great. Very nice decor, but so odd not to... More

Simple. Solid. Great cuts of fish. The price is actually reasonable in my opinion. Succumb to the legacy of Sushi Nozawa and enjoy.

Have eaten here a few times now and every time, it's fantastic. This place beats all the fancy sushi restaurants hands down. The menu is small but never fails to deliver on taste. Especially love the Nigori sake. Prices are reasonable too. Not really somewhere for a romantic evening, more of a eat and leave place. Can't wait to eat... More

This little restaurant offers really authentic Sushi. We had ton of rolls and the best one was with Tuna. It is a small restaurant but I believe it is one of the best one. It is worth every penny.

Sugarfish has a limited menu but don't let that throw you off. The quality of their fish is superb - it melts in your mouth! Everything there is delicious!!! I always feel satisfied! There is almost always a guaranteed wait, but it is worth waiting for.

We've stayed nearby at the Omni Hotel and decided not to walk to Little Tokyo. With "Sugarfish" located in an Art-Deco style Building we found a contemporary styled, modern restaurant with a friendly service. We picked "The Nozawa" menu, a combination of Edamame, Sashimi, Sushi, Rolls and Daily Special and were very satisfied. Everything was freshly prepared and we simply... More

Small restaurant located in downtown LA. Great sushi served on warm rice, nice presentation. Service is friendly but needs to be more attentive--had to ask for water four times before being served, order was not taken properly.
