SUGARFISH | Midtown East

When we arrived, we had to wait about 45 minutes before we were seated. It was worth the wait - I thoroughly enjoyed the sushi here! My group and I each got the Nozawa Trust Me. Some of my favorites from the set were the salmon and the bluefin otoro. I appreciate that there is an option to sub out some of the pieces - I was curious about the Blue & Dungeness Crab Hand Roll, but I would probably swap that one for something else if I were to come again. I enjoyed the environment which was dimly lit for dinner. The service was great for us. I would come back, but maybe go for the standard Trust Me set -- though I'm glad I tried the Nozawa Trust Me.

It's sugarfish and yeah I like it. I can spend $80 and get decent quality sushi and also eat my heart out. I know it's not "authentic sushi-ya" or whatever, but the portions are generous, and the rice is pretty tasty -- acidic, sour, warm, and falls apart. And yea it might fall apart a bit _too_ much at times, but still pretty good. If you're a sushi snob, you will have to put wasabi under or on top of all of your nigiri pieces, but hey, there's some fun to that as well.Sake prices are reasonable, they also do corkage for a decent price ($20 I think), so if you have any sake you wanna try for fun, you can do it here.The kitchen can get backlogged at times, so I had to wait 5 min between courses, which was a bit frustrating. But it's still manageable.Favorite pieces here:- The tunas are all good, not the super cheap tuna cuts- White fish is generally good here, I like the acidity. Sea bass is probably my favorite, and the yellowtail is good as well- Lobster when they have it is a treatPieces I don't like as much- Scallop: for some reason it's always less flavor than I expect- Raw Shrimp: Also pretty bland, idk why they don't add lime or add a bit more flavor

As good in this location as the others! I love how consistent they are and the workers are also so kind everywhere

I really enjoyed sugar fish! The sushi was super fresh and i like the rice especially. I was sat promptly at the bar and the servers were attentive. I got the trust me during lunch and i thought it was the perfect light lunch. Will be back.

We had a fabulous dinner at Sugarfish! We had never been before, but went with friends who had been there. My wife got the standard Omakase and I got the higher end one. Amazingly, even the high-end one was only $75. And my wife's was 45. The fish was amazing! Melt in your mouth, delicious, and a wide variety. They were also hand rolls which were fabulous and sashimi dish, which was also really good. The service was fast and efficient and the amount of food was just right. They don't take reservations, but we only ended up waiting about 30 minutes when we went at 7 PM. I would come back here in a heartbeat!

I tried one of their trust me menu sets for lunch. The fish was soft and buttery. However, the rice is rather soft and falls apart easily but it tasted good. We didn't have reservations and got sat relatively quickly. The overall ambiance was nice. Overall, a solid spot if you're looking for a sushi fix!

I would say the food is good but not amazing. The ambiance is what could use some work. It just doesnt give off the fancy vibe that the price tag demands. But solid of some good variety sushi.

We ordered the set lunches, and everything was heavily salted. We suspect the fish wasn't very fresh, and they used soy sauce to mask it...

Good sushi with a modern/western spin. Located in Midtown Manhattan, Sugarfish Midtown East is a relatively small restaurant tucked between giant skyscrapers. Despite this, when went to visit today at around 11 am, there was already quite a crowd forming for lunch. After being quickly seated inside, our waiter gave us a few tips on eating the sushi - we were told to eat the handrolls quickly for the best taste, among other things. We were given a few options for water including hot water and cold. For food, since we were new, we decided to order the set menus, Trust Me and the Nozawa Trust Me. The tuna sashimi was the first dish, and it was very refreshing - we both liked the soy sauce based seasoning that came with it. The handrolls were both good, but we both agreed the crab was the best. Finally, the Nigirizushi were all quite good, though there were a few twists (like the sesame seeds on the salmon Nigirizushi). To add to the taste, the portions were just about right and neither of us left hungry. Price wise, Sugarfish, was quite competitive give that even ordering bowls in the area can easily cost close to $20s. The service was also very good. If you're in the area and are looking for sushi, Sugarfish is definitely worth a try.

My sister has always been interested by Sugarfish ever since they expanded so it we decided to celebrate her birthday here. Hearing that the wait time was over an hour last time she tried to go (she ended up skipping it), we popped by later in the afternoon on a weekday and we're glad we did because there was plenty of room in the restaurant for us to choose where to sit.We ordered the "Nozawa Trust me" set and service was quick, polite , and speedy, likely due to being so few other tables being occupied( though I'm not complaining). For the price, I definitely have to say, not a bad value at all, especially considering Sugarfish is a non-tipping establishment.We started with the Tuna Sashimi with ponzu and though the cuts themselves were kind of all over the place in terms of uniformity and shape, it tasted pretty good so not the biggest deal.The albacore and salmon served next were both fresh and looked pretty good though the rice was not packed well and completely fell apart when I tried to pick it up haha. The rice itself tasted good, nice vinegar flavor ( I know it's a bit strong for some people but I like it fine) but I woulddddd like to be able to pick it up with my chopsticks. Most of the other nigiri was similar lol, tasted quite alright-nice but the packing of the rice definitely needs work.The best things imo were both hand rolls. Basically solved the problems I had with the nigiri and the seaweed they use is top quality, both the toro hand roll and the crab hand roll were very good.Overall, had a good time here and the service was great with a good price point to match.
