Rubén GarcíaApril 24, 2017While there's definitely better omakase in NYC for much more $$$, I have yet to find one as good as sugarfish at this price point. If you've found one let me know where!
Barry HottDecember 31, 2016Incredible sushi at a reasonable price. You'll need to put your name in early and come back later. Totally worth it.
Elyse EstradaSeptember 8, 2017For lunch if you arrive by 11:45am you shouldn't have to wait too long for a table or sit at the sushi bar. Get the Trust Me and add a few more pieces of sashimi that you loved to complete the meal.
AmateurConciergeJuly 4, 2017No better deal for sushi that I know of. "Trust Me" omakase is $39, plenty of food and high quality (love the abalone). The Trust Me Lite is perfect for my wifey and only $27 (gratuity inclusive)
Eric LitmanDecember 26, 2016Order the Nozawa "trust me" omakase for 2, several bottles of Nozawa sake, and you'll still spend less than in most nyc restaurants
MuskanFebruary 13, 2017Went for the a la carte option and tried the salmon, scallops and sweet shrimp. Everything was amazing but the winner by far was the salmon. Next time - 4 orders of that and I will leave happy.
Good, cheap, quick. You usually only get 2 out of 3, and you get the former here. Put your name in at 4 to eat at 730. Or 11:15 to ensure a first seating around 1130a. A la carte is the way to go.
Meg FarmerApril 26, 2017This was one of my fav restaurants when I lived in LA, & I'm so happy they are now in NYC. Just go w/ the trust me and let the chef make all the decisions. Sushi is seriously melt-in-your moth good.
Christopher WilliamsFebruary 24, 2017Order the 'Trust Me', a couple bottles of Nozawa sake, and tack on an extra handroll at the end. Great way to treat yourself. Went on a weekday for late lunch and had no wait—seems like the time to go
Kayleigh HarringtonFebruary 22, 2017Try sharing the large "trust me" menu and then order more of what you loved a la carte. The sushi practically melts in your mouth. Delicious.
Rachel ZApril 18, 2017I usually get the "trust me." It's a great value for the amount and quality of sushi. I was so excited when I heard sugar fish was coming to nyc. I wish they would open more locations in Manhattan.
Stephanie DeDeckerJuly 1, 2018Amazing, fresh, and well priced - one of my favs in the city. Be sure to get the bento box. They don’t take reservations, so come early to get a spot or be prepared to wait sometimes up to 2 hrs- AmateurConciergeJune 27, 2019Still a great deal. Trust Me for $33 service included. Real crowd pleaser, but go at off peak times if you don’t want to be waiting hours
- Barry HottDecember 31, 2016Ask to modify your omakase if there's something you don't want or something else catches your eye.
Terence RoseSeptember 30, 2022Best sushi in NYC. There maybe better places (that I haven't been to), but the balance of ambiance, service, presentation, and quality there's nothing quite like Sugarfish. This location is the best.
Sortof have to get there either around 5-5:30 or 10, but get the omaskase all the way. It's funny how the staff gets really serious about shellfish allergy- Elizabeth BursteinAugust 18, 2018I had the “trust me” with uni and it was so good! Nom nom nom! The nigori unfiltered sake is great too.
- David MilbergJanuary 4, 2017I'm not a big sushi fan, but I tried the sushi here and it was fantastic! I think the only place I will ever eat sushi is at this place, that's how good it was!
Nick AndlingerJanuary 13, 2017Incredible fish quality. Go a la carte and you can't go wrong. Skip the hand rolls. Sugarfish is legit af.
Claudia CesarJune 23, 2018Even with reservation it takes very long to get seated! But it worth it! One of the best Japanese restaurants I’ve ever been. Service is very good as well.
Get there early (before 7) to put your name in and grab a drink around the area while you wait for a table. The fish is delicious and fresh, plus the prices are reasonable for Omakase.
Fantastic value - definitely the best sushi dinner I’ve had at the $50 price point. Probably top 5 sushi I’ve ever had at any price.
Claudio SantoriDecember 17, 2018No doubt the best sushi in nyc. My wife and I took the large of their set menu (TRUST ME) and everything was just melting in our mouths.
Ruel TyerDecember 11, 2018The tasting menu is the way to go. Service was excellent and the sushi was the best we’ve ever had. It melted in our mouths.
Judith JaroslavskyNovember 3, 2018Their sushi rice is to die for! Best sushi in NYC. You can’t miss the unagi nigiri 🤩
Rebecca MazzaFebruary 12, 2018Get there about 15 minuets before they open to get in right away. Service is great and it’s a pleasant experience! Can’t beat the price- Best sushi in NYC, by far. Worth the wait but get there before 4 on the weekend to significantly reduce your wait time.
Olivia ZratkoSeptember 14, 2018For what you get (amount and quality) it's an awesome price! Go during off peak hours to minimize your wait.- Alexa SternSeptember 17, 2017Amazing omakase at a very reasonable price. The only thing I didn't like was the blue crab roll - see if you can substitute something else
Arrive hours before you want to eat, put your name down, and come back later. Get any of the Trust Me items. Best sushi in NYC.- Chad HornerMarch 11, 2018excellent value, just need to be willing to wait! put your name in and they’ll text you when your table is ready, probably hours later
Elie HirschfeldJanuary 9, 2017The sushi here is fantastic! The service is exceptional, and the prices are fair. I highly recommend giving this place a shot.
Mayank MahajanJune 9, 2019Probably the best sushi Ive had in NYC and very reasonably priced. No tipping!
Joe KileyJune 15, 2017Get any of the Trust Me's, you can't go wrong. Some of the best and most affordable sushi in the city
Natalie LeMossAugust 4, 2023Great omakase for a very affordable price. Fish is so fresh!Upvoted Sep 5
Vicky MitzMarch 14, 2017Excellent sushi, and totally worth the wait. Make sure to put your name down on the list at least 3hrs in advance!
Barton SmithMarch 21, 2018Really great sushi, great price, unique flavor with their vinegar rice. I wouldn’t wait an hour+ again for it though.
Roniel TesslerFebruary 24, 2017Delectable! Fresh and subtle. The warm rice and special sauces will make you a convert. Get the Trust Me, no question.
Yves Di BenedettoFebruary 9, 2018For sure the best sushi I have eaten in New York. Amazing quality and reasonable price.- Alexa SternAugust 26, 2017Delicious! Great value; high quality fish. Loved everything! Go early to avoid long waits
Steven SuthianaDecember 14, 2018Price is reasonable for quality of fish BUT I’m not sure it’s worth it. Service is mediocre, pieces were presented w/o explanation (1 of the servers) of what it is and the sushi rice is over cooked...- Zach ScottOctober 6, 2019Go for the trust me. The albacore is melt in your mouth. The hand rolls must be eaten immediately.
- Yoni ZloczewskiMarch 13, 2018No it isn’t worth the wait .. no place is worth the obnoxious waits at sugarfish however if you can ignore the long wait at a nearby bar you’ll be able to enjoy very reasonably priced nigiri

"This is a great place to hang out. The changing artwork in the main lawn is fun to see as well. It's a good place to go with a book and relax for a while, and often gets some light breezes through."
