There’s a Secret New “Trust Me” Menu at Sugarfish With Upgraded Sushi

Trust the process

Time Out has all the details on the latest new “Trust Me” level available at Sugarfish locations across Los Angeles. This strictly off-menu tier of quick-service omakase-style sushi consists of nigiri, sashimi, and hand rolls (much like the company’s other well-known prix fixe “trust me” tiers), but with upgraded ingredients and preparations. Instead of getting two of the same fish, there are now upwards of twelve different kinds of nigiri, plus a lobster hand roll to finish. It all depends on what’s in season and what’s available. It runs a cool $52 but offers a wealth of food, and (at least for now) is only available for a limited time in celebration with the company’s ten-year anniversary.
