Features / Highlights

The distinguishing elements that make

SUGARFISH by sushi nozawa

• The Signature Warm Rice: This is the restaurant’s most defining feature. The

  Warm

  , loosely-packed, and perfectly seasoned rice is a hallmark of the Nozawa style, creating a unique texture and temperature contrast with the cool fish that many find to be addictively delicious.
• The "Trust Me" Experience: The simplified, omakase-like menus eliminate decision fatigue and consistently deliver a sequence of the restaurant’s highest-quality items, reflecting the chef's expertise and focus on consistency.
• Emphasis on Quality and Simplicity: The restaurant strictly adheres to traditional sushi, purposely excluding elaborate, non-traditional rolls (like California rolls or spicy tuna), allowing the inherent quality of the fish and rice to shine. Limited availability items like

  Otoro

  and

  Uni

  speak to their focus on premium sourcing.
• Exceptional Hand Rolls: The hand rolls, particularly the

  Toro Hand Roll

  and

  Blue and Dungeness Crab Hand Roll

  , are highly celebrated, often cited for their fresh seaweed and generous filling.
• High Consistency and Value: Known for maintaining a consistent standard of fish quality across all their offerings and providing what many consider to be excellent value for money in the mid-to-high-tier sushi category in NYC.
• Dedicated Customer Programs: The existence of a

  birthday reward program

  and the surprising generosity of the complimentary meal offered to loyal patrons highlight a unique commitment to customer appreciation.
