replying to u/thats-gold-jerry: People will shit on Sugarfish. Don’t listen to them. Go if you’ve never been. Someone will say something annoying to this comment. Just ignore it, Reddit is predictable. You could also check out their handroll spot, Kazunori. Go to Four Horsemen; it is incredible. Get there right at 5 for a walk in. Reservations are difficult. Other places I’d recommend are Tolo (Chinese), Yellow Rose (Tex Mex), Union Square Cafe (American), S&P (Jewish Deli), Birds of a Feather (Szechuan), COTE (Korean steakhouse), Soothr (Thai), Uncle Lou (Chinese) and Emmett’s on Grove for tavern style pizza.
