    Great food. Great service. One bathroom is absurd. There was a long line our entire dining experience which was weird.

    Food was ok, room was super loud, something with the acoustics, dinning room small, they crammed the tables too close together.

    We had a delicious dinner and excellent service! The venue roll was incredible and the tuna sashimi was so fresh and delicious. Don’t miss out on the brownie for dessert, if you have room left!

    Sandfish always has quality sushi and special dishes. Pro service and hood bar program. The only issue is value. The prices have become unreasonably elevated since my last visit ; $9+ for a single piece of nigiri and $29 speciality rolls ! Maybe for a special occasion night but not for a regular stop.

    Sandfish always delivers! Unique and inventive flavor combinations that make you want to try everything there is to offer! The Sandfish roll should not be skipped.

    AMENDING THIS REVIEW because they finally got back to me and they did refund me the discrepancy in the original bill to the amount that should have been charged originally. They did not ask me to amend this review, but since the overall experience was positive, I decided to amend myself. Read below for the full experience though so you don't get overcharged! There is a lot going on with this review for Sandfish so I will try to lay it out clearly. My biggest issue is that there was an issue with their billing system. The bill I received at the table differed from the bill that I was sent electronically after our meal. I am more than happy to pay what I owe, but I hate being billed incorrectly. The subtotal of the bill I received at the table didn't add up correctly when you added the line items. I wasn't able to add each line item up at the table because we were a group of 8 and no one wants that. So after our meal when we went back to our house, I was figuring out what everyone owed so we could split the bill and found the discrepancy. I reached out to the restaurant on 3 separate occasions and haven't heard back. After the fact I did receive the bill by email that was altered so that the line items did add up to the subtotal, but they should address the discrepancy because no one likes being overcharged. As for the meal itself, the food was delicious. We had a number of the rolls including the sandfish, experiment and venue roll multiple times, the tuna tataki tacos, the duck bao and a few other items. Everything was great. We were seated next to a very loud bachelorette party but the hostess was very gracious in making sure we were ok and offered to move us slightly if the noise bothered us. The service in that regard was excellent and our actual server was fantastic as well. Just don't overcharge people! That's not cool! And call people back when they inquire about a discrepancy in their bill.
