Sushi in Little Italy
A Trust Me meal on Kettner Boulevard
Sushi in Little Italy starts at SUGARFISH, 2100 Kettner Blvd Suite 1100, with a Trust Me menu served in sequence. Choose the menu that suits your appetite, then let sashimi, nigiri, and hand rolls arrive in the Nozawa style.
The food is prepared for the moment it reaches the table. Fish is cut to order, rice is served warm and loosely packed, and hand rolls are folded just before serving. Arrive with your full party, settle in, and enjoy each course while its temperature and texture are at their best.

Your first Trust Me
The menu carries the meal from sashimi to hand rolls
A Trust Me is the direct way to experience SUGARFISH Little Italy. The meal begins with sashimi, moves through nigiri, and finishes with hand rolls, so the table can focus on each course rather than manage a long list of separate choices.
Each course is seasoned in the Nozawa style and served without substitutions. If you have food allergies, tell the team before ordering. For a meal away from the restaurant, order pickup or delivery through Postmates.
The SUGARFISH approach
Warm rice and fish cut to order set the timing
Warm rice meets cool fish at the table. Nigiri is ready when it reaches you, and a hand roll is best while its nori is still crisp. That timing gives every course a clear moment in the meal.
