Sushi in Santa Monica
A focused meal on 2nd Street.
SUGARFISH Santa Monica brings Chef Kazunori Nozawa's approach to sushi to 1345 2nd St. Choose a Trust Me menu, settle in, and let a progression of sashimi, nigiri, and hand rolls carry the meal from its first course to its last.
Fish is cut to order. Rice is served warm and loosely packed. Nigiri is ready when it reaches the table, and hand rolls are folded to order so the nori is still crisp. The best first visit is simple: arrive with your full party, choose the menu that fits your appetite, and enjoy each course as it arrives.

Your first Trust Me
Let the meal arrive in sequence.
A Trust Me menu is the clearest way to experience SUGARFISH Santa Monica for the first time. The meal starts with sashimi, moves through nigiri, and finishes with hand rolls. It is designed as a complete progression, so the texture, temperature, and pace can build naturally without asking you to assemble an order piece by piece.
The food is prepared and seasoned in the Nozawa style without substitutions. If you have food allergies, tell the team before ordering so they can guide you based on the restaurant and the day. For the current selections and prices, view the Trust Me menus →.
The Nozawa approach
Each piece has its moment.
Chef Kazunori Nozawa's 50 years of sushi inform a style built around timing. Warm rice meets cool fish at the table. Hand rolls arrive just after they are folded. The goal is not a long list of decisions, but a better moment for the piece in front of you.
SUGARFISH by sushi nozawa brings that focused approach to Santa Monica for diners who want a meal that feels considered without feeling formal. For more about the food and its preparation, read about our food →. Looking for another restaurant? see all SUGARFISH locations →.
