This place is sooo delicious! We come here every other week. We’ve tried other places, but this place is sooo delicious flavorful and fresh! Highly recommend it! Make your reservations, sometimes it is a wait to be seated. They have indoor and outdoor. If you look at prices, then just go get a California roll at Vons.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and friendly service. The wait staff was attentive, professional, and made sure our dining experience was smooth from start to finish.
The food was absolutely delicious!! Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can really tell that care and quality go into every plate. Our meals came out at just the right pace, and everything tasted even better than we expected.
The atmosphere was equally impressive. The restaurant had a cozy yet vibrant feel, perfect for both casual dining and special occasions. It’s the kind of place where you can relax, enjoy great food, and feel genuinely welcomed.
Overall, it was a fantastic experience. Great food, wonderful staff, and an inviting atmosphere. We’ll definitely be coming back again soon!

If you find yourself in Palm Springs and craving a sushi experience that’s both vibrant and top-notch, look no further than Ponzu Sushi. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by Paul at the entrance, who made us feel right at home. He was incredibly friendly and set the tone for the evening.
Our server, Anna, was hands down the highlight of the dining experience. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and always there when we needed her. Her excellent service really enhanced the meal, making it feel personal and special.
The ambiance at Ponzu is modern chic, with an energetic vibe that perfectly matches the lively energy of Palm Springs. The décor blends sleek design with a comfortable atmosphere, creating a place that feels both trendy and welcoming.
As for the food, every dish we tried was exceptional, but a few stood out as absolute must-haves. The Are You Kidding Me Roll was a showstopper — perfectly balanced and packed with flavor. The Ponzu Roll was equally impressive, with its fresh ingredients and bold taste. And the Palm Springs Roll? Simply delicious, with a beautiful combination of textures that left us wanting more.
If you’re in Palm Springs, Ponzu Sushi is a must-try. Whether you’re a sushi connoisseur or a newcomer, this place has something for everyone. Trust me, it’s worth checking out!

First time here was a great experience with my wife and I for date night! The staff was very sweet and sat us down right away for our reservation! Welcoming and were consistently checking on us to make sure we were taken care of.
Now, the food and the rolls! We picked the Red Crunchy, Pay Day, and the Spicy Atlantic. Appetizers, we got Miso soups and the Tokyo Nacho! The Tokyo Nacho – HIGHLY Recommend! Had some great chili oil and miso sauce on top of the spicy tuna and great flavor! The rolls were also absolutely phenomenal and packed a good punch with the chili oil! Pay Day was tangy and had a good tart to it. The Spicy Atlantic and the Red Crunchy great flavors and sauces as well but not as different from other rolls we have had BUT still great flavor and quality!
Dining area is very clean and very nice lighting to set the mood.
Would recommend to friends and already have to our group of foodies! Thank you for a wonderful and good time!

highly recommended by my brother to come here, and I agree with his recommendation.
Service and taste is top notch, price is at the right spot. We ordered mostly on items they advertised posted on their boards,
however they would not honor their mistake on prices posted on their board sitting outside, thus 1 star is deducted for this review.
Would I repeat, maybe if I’m in the neighborhood, but would not go out of my way to come here.

I have colleagues who rave about this place. It did live up to the expectations. I came with other colleagues who really enjoyed their food. I had the opportunity to order the Sunrise on 17th. It was full of good sushi rolled around crab. No rice in this dish. It was presented really well and the taste was very fresh. I would order this again and recommend it to all sushi lovers. I had the opportunity to have the baked mussel and that was very tasty. Baked just right with a little Kewpie and eel sauce. What was disappointing was that I ordered a hot green tea and drank 3/4 of it only. This tea cost me over $4 that came in a little cup that was slightly bigger than a traditional tea cup. All would have been okay but that price for green tea certainly left me leaving fuming. I am a big fan of sushi but this place is good but not good enough to make me want to revisit.

Tried this place as a recommendation from our friends. They raved about the Snowflakes roll which was spicy and delicious. We also had the spicy edamame, the Thousand Island roll, and the Vegas Baby roll. We picked up our order to go, but the place was very full on a Sunday evening.

Had a great experience at the soft opening of the Ponzu sushi bar. First, the chef and hostess we’re very warm and welcoming. The layout is nice with a bar and plenty of table seating. Parking is easy too.
Their menu is really elaborate with plenty of creations to pick from. My wife opted for the thousand island roll, which was beautifully presented with a chili dipping oil in the center of the plate which I had not seen before.
As a vegetarian, I had a cucumber avocado roll, their vegetable roll, and their veggie tempura roll. I’d recommend the vegetable roll of the three. It was beautifully presented with avocado on the outside that was unique. We also had their seaweed salad and their regular salad both of which we’re great.
Finally, I’d add the chef is accommodating for additions and substitutions to the menu.
Glad to have a reliable sushi bar down the street now, will definitely be coming back.

I thought I’ve had the best sushi until I tried Ponzu!!! Every dish I had was exceptional!!! Super fresh, creative, and beautifully plated!
-SPICY GARLIC EDEMAME – Super garlicky and addicting! Served warm. Yum!
-WAKE ME UP – Who would’ve thought fried Brussels Sprouts would go well with Seabass?! The spicy lime sauce is addicting!
-SALMON CARPACCIO – It had real truffles!!!
-YELLOW TAIL CEVICHE- Thick cut yellowtail slices with a citrus sauce. Yum!
-SNOWFLAKES ROLL – I can’t stop thinking about it. Never had anything like it. Salmon, tuna, and yellowtail on the inside and Halibut on top. The touch of sweet yuzu and sea salt made perfect!
The service was great! Staff were friendly, and food came in a timely manner even though the place was a bit busy.
Maybe the only one negative for me was that the music was a little too loud for my liking. I guess I’m getting old but other than that, I’d eat here again in a heartbeat!
