An Unforgettable Dining Experience! Sandfish Sushi is hands down one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. From the moment we sat down, the ambiance was welcoming and sophisticated. Instead of choosing from the menu, we decided to let the chef take the lead—and wow, what a decision that was! Every dish was a masterpiece, carefully crafted with the freshest ingredients and incredible attention to detail. The chef’s selections took us on a culinary journey, introducing us to flavors and combinations we never would’ve thought to try. Each bite was a delightful surprise, and you could taste the passion and creativity behind every plate. The service was impeccable, with the staff making us feel like VIPs the entire evening. If you’re looking for more than just a meal, but an experience, Sandfish Sushi is it. I can’t recommend it enough and will definitely be coming back soon!

One of my favorite PHX restaurants - everything was great from the service to the vibe to the food. Only issue was there was too much dressing on all of our salads. Next time I will get dressing on the side for sure!

The service was amazing as someone always came to check on us. The sushi was incredible and pork bao bun was amazing! We went during happy hour and had the house sake, which was very smooth. They brought out desert for our anniversary and surprised us. We are definitely going back. Everything was beautiful ❤️
