Sugarfish By Sushi Nozawa - Pasadena

I love this simple menu, no extra sauces give sushi spots. Quality fish meat with excellent rice. I don't think there are reservations. It is first to serve first and seats can be mixed with other parties You start with some simple Edamame I decided to use the “Trust me” with tuna sashimi, albacore sushi, salmon sushi, toro hand roll, Japanese yellow tail sushi, Hirami sushi blue dungess crabs hand roll. I have also added the uni Sushi, Lobster Handrolle, unagi Sushi Bay Scallops Handrolle. I'm a big eater every piece was on the point. A very tasty selection and I didn't really need to use the soy sauce so much because the taste was amazing. I've got a ticket in the front for an expired meter. But at least the food was excellent! Come back.

Scallop, sweet shrimp, yellow tail, Kampachi and blue crabs hand rollers are our fav! So delicious with reasonable price. Remember to redeem check-in points to get free Trust I set on your birthday:

This place was highly recommended when you visit the Pasadena area. I was quite hesitant as I received many sushi recommendations, but not overly impressed. Growing up in Japan and after Tsukiji many times for sushi go directly from the boats, I am picky when it comes to sushi. However, SugarFish was very impressive. We arrived early land were ready to wait as there is probably only enough space for 30 people at a time and it is very popular. Thankfully we sat within 30 minutes. I was told they used to have outside seats during the pandemic, but the tables are only inside now. We sat right away and Paul was our server. Paul made an amazing job as he was very attentive, polite, helpful and friendly. Ordnete Omakase style, so ordered the Nozawa Trust Me. It is about 10 different plates spaced apart. This allows you a lot of time to enjoy every plate and allow the chefs to make fresh every plate. The timing was right, not ever feeling rushed or waiting too long between each record. You also bring all a la carte requests so that you can eat the dishes in the order provided. Each sushi was extremely fresh, well plated and presented, and had this smooth buttery texture. In addition to the Trust Me order, individual Sushi of the Bay Scallops, Hokkaido Sea Scallops, Uni and another order of the Daily Special ordered as it was so good. This place is not a tipping restaurant, but there is a 16% service fee added to your bill. I had nothing to do with it when I had tipped more than 16% and probably closer to 30%, as Paul did an excellent job. Great sushi and service, so will definitely make a return trip if back in the LA area.

Very delicately prepared take and very worthy of IG. It is a bit expensive and I was still hungry, even if I ordered to share some additional roles. It was worth a try! I wanted to pick it up on Friday night at 9 a.m. and the restaurant was so full! Excellent service and friendly host.

We used to live in LA and the one spot we had to go back within the 2 days visiting was sugarfish! The most clutch and affordable sushi place you will ever find. Consistency wise you can't beat them! Try kazu nori as well if you have not already. Same owner, just as delicious but a different experience. The fish melts in your mouth along with the perfectly temperatured rice.
