Always great experience. Cocktail menu is a bit smaller but they can still make whatever you may want.

The salmon sashimi was a little fishy and the roll was bland. The fried Avacado was bizarre and also lacked flavor and substance. Overall I’d be open to trying again but was not impressed with the food. The service however was wonderful and attentive.

Wanted to love it but felt like they over complicated dishes. Was never asked how our food was - which was strange. Don’t recommend the gyozas. Would order the lollipop role again. Extremely overpriced for something that wasn’t amazing.

We were super disappointed in the new menu. Very expensive and no "normal" options. Saying that, the server was very good and allowed us to order California rolls and spicy tuna which we appreciated very much and they were excellent. Gyozas we did not like at all, they were deep fried and not to our taste so the server willingly took them off the bill which we also appreciated. The other rolls were very good but super pricey. No more brussel sprouts on the menu which was an awesome appetizer. We loved Sandfish however they're too rich for us now! Highly recommend having some more normal, regular priced roll options.

By far, the best sushi we have had in Palm Springs or state of California! Service is spectacular, the staff is knowledgeable, courteous, and a pleasure to be around. It was a Friday night that we went, they had a DJ… He had great music but so loud difficult to talk and or hear anything else. we will go back again because the food is amazing and so is the service. Hoping to go a different night where it’s not quite so loud.

We would have never guessed our favorite sushi place would be in the desert - but Sandfish is out of this world. It's a perfectly cute venue, just a few small tables, so the service and atmosphere are intimate. We visit every time we're in Palm Springs, and we always recommend it to friends who will be in town.
