   Service was great. I think the food menu looked good but the quality of the food wasn’t as high as I’d hoped.

   My husband had such a great time at Sandfish for date night. The every staff member was friendly and helpful. They were on it refilling waters and making sure we had whatever we needed. The drinks were delicious. My husband had an old fashioned and it was one of the best I’ve tried. I had a mock tail (the one with the ginger beer) and it was delicious. The food was AMAZING. We had the tostada appetizer, the venue roll, Sandfish roll, and the Scallop signature dish. The presentation is gorgeous on everything. My absolute favorite was the venue roll. The waiter told me it is his favorite too. We will definitely come back. It’s a great date night spot!

   1st time here, read an article about the 10 best restaurants in Palm Springs which recommended Sandfish. We were seated immediately, made the reservation online. Everything we ordered was fresh & delicious. Presentation was beautiful. Great service, waiter was friendly & gave great recommendations & was very knowledgeable.

   Our favorite place for Shusi in Palm Springs! We had the Sandfish roll, miso, seaweed salad, and albacore. Everything was delicious!

    Ate here with my husband on our vacation to Palm Springs. Sitting inside wasn’t an option, so we had to sit outside in the 110 degree heat, no breeze, no water misters, no umbrellas, no fans and oddly no light — it got super dark out there…..it was miserably hot. There were also a TON of really annoying black flies landing all over our table. Food was pretty good! Not the best sushi I’ve ever had but not the worst. Waiter seemed unamused by the heat & altho I shared I’m allergic to avocado, one of our rolls came smothered in avocado…..never a good thing, especially if it’s dark!! Overall it was a good experience but not top of the list worthy.

    The sushi wasn’t good at all and the service was terrible! Took them 40 minutes to bring out a simple hot green tea and much longer for the spicy Edamame ( which was not cooked and not spicy at all ) at this point so I begged the server to bring us side of rice ( that took 15 minutes) we were starving at this point. We ordered ⬇️ California Dreamin - crabmeat was watery - bland and Spicy tuna wasn’t even spicy The Venue Roll- salmon on top wasn’t good - the spicy tuna and salmon very bland These two rolls were $25 each - the food and the price did not match Albacore Tataki - albacore was cut so thick and didn’t have any seasoning or sauces ( very dry ) They only have one bathroom for the entire place! Terrible 😣 The girl next to us had use the restroom and waited more than 90 minutes! We won’t be going back ever again… let’s just say!

    The best sushi in the desert we've found so far. The fish is first rate and the presentation sets the stage. The only negative was having to wait outside in the heat until our table was ready (we did have a reservation) but the wait was only about ten minutes. Parking was ok for us as we found a space directly across the street but it is street parking so you may have to walk a little. Still due to the great quality of the meal I will certainly return and bring friends.

    Are you reading reviews before you make a reservation? Good. Make sure you make a note about wanting to sit INSIDE after selecting "Standard" (as the fine print states, as the host/manager cited when he smirked and sat me outdoors for my reservation), it's not a given. Even if there are multiple empty tables indoors for the duration of your nice meal outdoors in 105º heat, you get to sit outside (in a container? on the windy patio? pick your Covid-era poison) unless you placed a note, he said. We've been to Sandfish plenty of times and the food was okay per usual, but my drink was above body temp by the time I finished it. Skip the lolipop dish, it's cut unevenly and is rather bland. The Wagyu roll was decent. It's my last visit there, though.

    I was very disappointed in my experience. As a solo diner, I chose to sit at the bar and it ended up being a 2.5-hour ordeal. In particular, the service was awful. Throughout the meal, it was difficult to get the attention of any waitstaff. It took over a half-hour for anyone to check in. Worst of all: I asked for recommendations as I didn't know how to narrow down the menu. The server's response: "This is a horrible place to come to alone since it's best experienced by ordering several dishes to share." This made me feel extremely awkward as a solo diner and (obviously) did not help me choose. Without any meaningful guidance, I randomly opted for the Sandfish Roll, which was good (not great), and ended up getting the octopus carpaccio when I was still hungry and wanted to try something else. Unfortunately, it was bland and chewy. Also, it took 15 minutes to get a new set of chopsticks since I continued to be ignored/forgotten -- and over a half-hour to get the check.

    It was Saturday night, and the vibe was chaotic. The kitchen was clearly struggling to keep up, and our server did the best he could. We had to patiently wait for food and drinks to come out. The food was good, though the cocktails were on the disappointing side. For all the hype it was OK. Not the experience I was anticipating.

    Wonderful experience! The service was top notch, very friendly, very helpful when it came to deciding on what to get and how well things were paired together. Prices are what you can expect for the area along with the vibe of the restaurant. More expensive than your regular down-the-street local joint (if you’re in from out of town) but there are certainly more swanky and expensive places to go. If you’re looking for a more fine dining but not break the bank sorta spot, this is it. It was suggested and a great idea to get a few different items and rolls for the table so everyone could taste a few things from each plate. Their namesake roll (The Sandfish) was delicious and gorgeously plated. Plenty of seating outside which was partially covered but also a portable AC unit to keep things comfortable. Wide variety of drinks from the more simple taps to cocktails to whisky flights. All in all, I would LOVE to dine there again if I ever come back out this way. Recommend making a reservation to guarantee a seat for your party. Make sure to get a slice of the matcha cheesecake!

    Someone call the Michelin people, is this one on your radar?! Absolutely gorgeous, thoughtful food and cocktails (and mocktails!). We live in San Francisco, and every time we are in town visiting family we make a reservation at Sandfish. Always a highlight of our stay in Palm Springs!

    The air conditioning over the door activates whenever the door opens, which is often for access to the outside tables, and it’s very loud and annoying. Ask for a table away from the front door. Otherwise, everything else was outstanding.
