I have been to the new Brentwood SugarFish over a dozen times since they opened in July and LOVE IT. The concept is fantastic and the execution is delicious. Each time I have gone the waitstaff always starts by asking if I am familiar with the menu.. basically there are 3 types of omakase... A Trust Me LIte, Trust Me and then the Nozawa special. I usually go Trust Me Lite with a few a la carte adds. (The Nozawa is a LOT of food but the fish is so good I have always cleaned my plate.)
What differentiates this sushi is that they take a page from NOZAWA in the Valley and serve incredibly fresh fish on warm rice. The result is sublime. The hand rolls are delivered with toasted nori and the waiters always advise you to eat soon because the crisp nori is part of the overall appeal.
The Trust Me menus are great and feature the delicious basics including the tastiest Salmon I have had in town, extra tender albacore and perfect halibut.. But my favs also include items from the a la carte options: the UNI from Catalina has always been so fresh and flavorful, the snapper is perfectly dressed and the Scallop Hand roll is a revelation. The rave could continue about everything on the menu.. I have tried almost everything there is and never been disappointed.
A few other notes on the restaurant... The atmosphere is great and varied.. Early dinner tends to be family friendly while after 730p turns to a very hip vibe. They serve from lunch thru dinner so it is a great place that stays open for late lunches.. and the parking could not be more convenient... validated free parking in the lot that is directly in front. I could not rave more and wish I could eat every meal here ...
Pros: Melts in your mouth fish, Super fresh uni, Easy parking
