Reviews
We enjoyed the Wagyu Beef Carpacio, and a couple of the rolls. The appetizers are good, nothing out of the ordinary. The shrimp tempura was crispy and not oily.
The restaurant itself is rather small so definitely recommend a reservation.
My daughter and I came here as a last night’s dinner in Palm Springs. We had just came from a full body scrub and massage and were looking forward to a nice sushi dinner.
We found this place advertised in a local magazine and thought we’d give it a shot.
Love the location and atmosphere.
However, the service was subpar and the sushi seemed like it was taken out from the refrigerator or freezer, like it was still defrosting.
We ordered cocktails, scallops sushi, tuna hand rolls (which was more like a cold shaved piece of tuna), a selection of nigiris and the large sashimi platter. I think it had 16 or 32 pieces. I forget. It was the largest one. My daughter and I literally ate about 6 pieces and gave up on the rest.
As previously mentioned, the sushi didn’t seem fresh. It tasted like it was still defrosting. Some pieces were still really firm from it being so cold.
We let our waitress know, who was apparently new and nervous on what to do. She said she would speak to someone but when she came back said she couldn’t do anything. I asked to speak to the manager who said the most she could do was give us a discount on the sashimi because it’s an expensive order. All the more I would expect it to taste good and fresh but to her logic since it was expensive she couldn’t take it off the bill.
While this was all going on, we noticed the couple next to us just paid their bill and left half their food on the table.
We ended up doing the same and decided to go to Kitchen in the Desert in twentynine palms for dinner, steering away from sushi for the rest of the evening, since we were still hungry.
In addition to the delicious food and the friendly staff, Omakase at The Venue is definitely a visual feast, with each dish presented in a beautiful and artful way. It’s a dining experience that’s not to be missed!!!
Overall, all the sushi is creative with a mix of sauces and aiolis. The Fish n Chips was different but the addition of jalapeños added that spice that you aren’t used to with Japanese food. My only complaint they don’t have Asahi. Idk but I’m going back, hopefully sooner than next decade.
