We had such a wonderful dinner at Sandfish. The outdoor patio is absolutely lovely — relaxed, stylish, and perfect for a cozy evening out. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the entire experience even better. Our drinks were also excellent and beautifully balanced.
We started with the tuna tostadas, and they were phenomenal. The tostadas were perfectly thin and crisp, providing the ideal texture to complement the fresh tuna on top. Every bite had that satisfying crunch paired with bright, clean flavors.
Next came the yellowtail crudo, which was delicate and refreshing, followed by the Sandfish roll. The fried potato threads on the roll were such a fun and delicious touch — crispy, savory, and incredibly addictive. We also ordered the Koko roll, and both rolls were exceptionally fresh and packed with flavor. You can really taste the quality of the fish.
To end the evening, we had the white chocolate and chai cremeux, and oh my — it was the perfect finale. Creamy, aromatic, and just the right level of sweetness.
If you’re a seafood lover, this is absolutely a spot worth checking out. Fresh fish, creative rolls, great drinks, and a beautiful patio — what more could you ask for?

Sandfish Sushi & Whiskey is hands down one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional.
The food was outstanding—starting with the stuffed zucchini flowers, which were perfectly crisp and flavorful. The Spanish octopus was incredibly tender and cooked to perfection. The sushi truly stole the show: fresh, creative, and beautifully executed.
The cocktails were just as impressive. A special mention goes to the bartender’s creation featuring Nikka Coffey Grain whiskey—balanced, inventive, and absolutely delicious.
What truly elevated the evening was the service. Our host and waitstaff were absolutely awesome—welcoming, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the food and drinks, which made the entire experience even more memorable.
Every detail, from the quality of the ingredients to the craftsmanship behind each dish and drink, reflects a high level of care and expertise. Sandfish is a must-visit and a restaurant I can’t wait to return to.

We spent Christmas Eve here with friends and family and it was so special. We ate family style and were able to order many different items from the appetizers to rolls to sushi to main courses. Their cocktails are also fantastic. I hope this becomes our tradition.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 Best Sushi in Palm Springs
Sandfish Sushi & Whiskey is a stylish Palm Springs gem with creative rolls, fresh fish, and a sleek, modern vibe. The cocktails and whiskey list pair perfectly with the inventive menu, and the service is friendly and knowledgeable. Overall it’s a top spot for sushi lovers looking for something upscale and unique.
***They have the pickled wasabi which is my absolute favorite and you need to ask for it on the side.
They also own the Tailor Shop right down the street for after dinner cocktails!

Chef Oscar was amazing! Every single recommendation he made was absolutely delicious… you can really tell he knows his craft and takes pride in the food. Everything was flavorful and perfectly prepared,
Our server Jorge was also fantastic. He was very attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. His service made the experience even better.
Highly recommend dining here if you enjoy fresh sushi and unique dishes.

The sushi rolls and platters were pretty good and unique, and the staff were friendly. The ambiance was nice too, but overall, I wouldn’t say it was anything outstanding. I’ve had better sushi.

I did the chef’s tasting menu at Sandfish and honestly… I’m still dreaming about it. From the moment I sat down, I knew I was in for something special. I started with an off-menu cold sake that set the tone beautifully, and by the third course, I was gifted a complimentary pour of Japanese whisky. A lovely table next to me even offered me a taste of their cab which is proof that the vibe here is all about connection and generosity.
Now let’s talk about the food. I’m actually speechless. Every dish was curated to perfection, thoughtful, delicious, and gorgeously plated. My favorites? The tostada and the octopus. Unreal. The chef is truly a genius.
The ambiance? Impeccable. Music was a vibe. I dined solo and never once felt out of place or uncomfortable. The staff made me feel right at home, encouraged me to take my time, and created an atmosphere that was warm, relaxed, and memorable. I wish I remembered my server’s name (he mentioned his girlfriend Lexie, who happened to be dining next to me!), but I hope he sees this—thank you for everything.
If you’re thinking of going, don’t hesitate. Trust them. Let go and let the chef take you on the ride. You won’t regret it.

We were told this was the place for sushi and they were correct. Phenomenal sushi, atmosphere, and service. They have inventive fusion flavors, with traditional options as well. Loved everything about this place.

For our main anniversary dinner my wife and I chose Sandfish and it could not have been a better decision. We had seen the photos and reviews beforehand and the vibe looked perfect. The restaurant feels stylish and inviting and the service from start to finish was outstanding.
We started with the tuna tataki tacos and they were incredible. The tuna had amazing flavor with a little hint of citrus and a satisfying garlic crunch. My wife and I were almost fighting over the last taco because it was that good. We also ordered spicy edamame and miso soup which were both excellent. The miso broth tasted fresh and full of depth and set the tone for the rest of the meal.
For rolls we followed the recommendations of our server, an older gentleman whose name I wish I remembered because he was fantastic. We ordered the Sandfish, the Experiment, and the Lollipop. My wife devoured the Lollipop which combined crab, tuna, and mango in the best way possible. I had the Sandfish roll which came with spicy tuna, fried potato, teriyaki sauce, green onion, and a touch of black truffle. Every bite was loaded with flavor and I honestly considered ordering a second one even though the rolls are generously sized. The Experiment roll was also delicious and made for a fun mix of flavors. We added a cucumber salad to share and it was light, fresh, and perfectly seasoned.
Everything about this dinner hit the mark. The fish quality was excellent, the flavors were creative yet balanced, and the service was warm and attentive. Sandfish delivered exactly the anniversary dinner we were hoping for and more. We will absolutely be back and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for exceptional sushi in Palm Springs.

My friends and I are doing a girls trip and decided to try this spot! We were skeptical at first as the reviews were iffy and were in the desert, but we are so glad we came! This place is DELICIOUS!!! It’s pretty small and reservations are recommended. There is seating indoor, at the bar, and some outdoor seating ad well. We went for HH right at 1700 and just walked in. There was only bar seating was available at that time. The service was great, the food was fantastic, and it was a nice cozy vibe. I’d definitely come back again!!
Food/drink review:
Passion fruit margarita (5/5) Super delicious! It was on the stronger side, but great balance of flavors.
Edamame: (5/5) Simple, but delicious! It wasn’t too soggy or too hard.
Brussel sprouts: (5/5) These were roasted and had great flavor. I love Brussel sprouts and these were yummy!
Crispy salmon balls: (3/5) These were just OK. Ratios were off. There was way too much rice and not enough fish for my taste.
Tuna tataki tacos: (5/5) Honestly surprised how much I enjoyed these. The crunch was perfect, sauce and fish paired very well together. If they weren’t on HH menu I wouldn’t order as they are very expensive.
Hosomaki rolls: Overall, they were pretty good! Our favorites were the salmon one, ended up ordering two of them. So tasty!
The venue and sand fish rolls: (5/5) During HH, you can pick two rolls and get 4 pieces of each. Honestly a great deal for how delicious these rolls were. Again, we got them on HH, regular price is crazy.
Salmon/tuna nigiri: (5/5) OMG. The nigiri was melt in your mouth delicious. It was like butter! I could have eaten an entire plate of these.
