SugarFish Santa Monica Los Angeles

Best sushi in LA

Alejandra from Los Angeles

About me Originally from Havana, Cuba. I studied classical piano for 8 years, but for the craziest reasons, maybe my own tendency to always let my heart decide, I ended up as a journalist.

""SugarFish Santa Monica" is a sushi restaurant that revolves around the same claim from the chef: 'trust me'. So, just do that, and enjoy the best in LA..."

Get ready for the sushi experience of your life. Although there are many SugarFish over LA and also a recently opened one in NYC, this one is very special, maybe because of the people I shared the experience with, who knows.

Sushi is something I’ve cherished for a long time in my life. And at SugarFish, they somehow mastered this beautiful thing from Japanese culture that is mystery and mysticism. There are different menus and all of them go around the same claim from the chef: "Trust me". So imagine going to a restaurant and having in your hands a "trust me" menu from a Japanese chef. There's only one thing to do: enjoy...

And since each menu has a different number of plates, for the ones like me that enjoy the sharing dishes thing, that's a very easy thing to do there.

For the ones looking for the best sushi place in town, SugarFish is a must.

Why Los Angeles LA reminds me of a country in which I lived for 6 years, Mexico! When I moved here I was ready for a change, for something new, I was looking for the sun, for fun, for peace, for love. All of that, I foun...
