Sugarfish 304 12th Street, Manhattan Beach, CA 90266

"I arrived here with my championship belt over my right shoulder after MOGGING my moms Tuesday night Pickleball group made up of 60+ year old Manhattan Beach Moms. Nah but fr I went 5-1 and that felt pretty good, those ladies can PLAY. I did a quick google search to see how many Sugarfish locations there are, and stumbled upon an article written in the Infatuation ranking every Sugarfish location in LA. To my suprise, a hand came out of my phone and open palm SLAPPED me across the face when I read "I don’t know anything about this location. I’ve never been here, never heard anything about it, and didn’t even know it existed before today." THE BLATANT DISRESPECT! I don't know what it is, and maybe it's my inherent Manhattan Beach bias, but I swear everytime I leave this Sugarfish I always say to myself "this is way better than every other Sugarfish location I have ever been to. They must be sourcing their fish from somewhere else than all the other Sugarfishes..." Last night, my dear reader, was no different. Just absolute QUALITY in every cut of fish that came in my Nozawa Trust Me. Melt in your mouth quality. My mom, licking her wounds from getting MOGGED by me on the pickleball court only hours prior, felt the exact same. "I swear this is just so much better than the Santa Monica one..." BIG FACTS MOM! I live in NY now, and the Sugarfish in Soho can't hold a candle to this one. Everyone I say this to balks, but New York sushi can't hold the jockstrap of LA sushi. There are exceptions to every rule, but in general I feel so passionately about that statement. Anyways, I'm getting off track here my b. After housing my Nozawa Trust me and half of my moms Trust Me because she eats like a rabbit, I grabbed my championship belt and left with a big smile on my face as I was now on a belly full of A1 quality sushi. Thank you, Sugarfish Manhattan Beach. Thank you. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__"

"their signature is the Trust Me menu - essentially mini omakase at the price point you prefer. Like all omakases, always sit at the counter if given the option. The fish here is really great quality and fresh, although the slices on the sashimi and nigiri are somewhat on the small side. The service can also be pretty slow when the restaurant is busy. It seems there isn't more than 2 or 3 primary chefs from what I could see through the window into the kitchen. The Ala carte options also seem to be reasonably priced, although the only thing I ordered aside from the Nozawa Trust Me is the amaebi nigiri. All items served in the Nozawa Trust Me are in my pictures. Overall a very decent choice for sushi, especially considering their no-tipping policy makes it easy to calculate what your final bill will be."

"OMG Sugarfish. This little gem in Manhattan Beach is a must try. The"course" style menu with choices like Trust Me and Don't think, just eat is traditional and simple. Small bites that add up to one amazing meal. Wine pairing and Saki options did not disappoint. Unique, fresh and delicious!!!"
