Celebrate SUGARFISH’s 15th anniversary with a special menu that runs for 15 days at all Los Angeles locations from November 29 through December 13. The new menu features 15 bites, including new dishes and presentations never served along with some of our beloved favorites. 

We were lucky to check out the menu beforehand at SUGARFISH Brentwood with the SUGARFISH team – Chef Kazunori Nozawa and his wife Yumiko, their son Tom Nozawa, and co-founders Jerry Greenberg and Lele Massimini.

Guests can expect the same fresh fish and warm rice but this menu has many specialty offerings. The Anniversary Menu will change daily with no substitutions but you can expect 2 orders of sashimi, 2 orders of nigiri sushi (2 pieces each), 2-3 different pieces of nigiri (gunkan style), sashimi “Sunomono style,” 3-4 pieces of nigiri sushi, and 2 hand rolls. This $80 per person menu felt more like a $250+ menu you might find elsewhere.

Some of our favorite bites included the Ankimo (Monkfish Liver) Hand Roll, various cuts of toro, ruby snapper and golden eye snapper, Uni and Salmon Eggs (Gunkan Style), New Zealand Pink Lobster Sashimi, Iwashi (sardine sushi), and a warm stuffed Lobster Hand Roll. The Kinmedai nigiri and Akamutzu nigiri were such a treat too. Amp your meal with Nozawa’s super dry sake.

Chef Nozawa’s wife divulged her favorites include the seabream and monkfish dishes. When I told Chef Nozawa I loved the sardine sushi as it wasn’t a common LA offering, he commented how in the 1980s, no one would eat that fish as sushi.
