Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Sandfish Sushi & Whiskey offers a unique blend of sushi and whiskey with creative dishes and "fantastic" food quality. Patrons rave about the "freshest fish" and "outstanding service." While the outdoor seating in shipping containers is novel, it can be noisy. The whiskey selection is extensive, complementing the inventive cocktails.

    The food quality is fantastic! However, the pricing feels a bit steep compared to many other sushi spots of the same caliber across the U.S. The service matches the expected standard for this price range. One heads-up: the outdoor container dining areas, while creative, tend to trap the desert heat with their metal walls, and the noise bounces around. Might want to bring some ear protection—just kidding, but it does get pretty loud!

    Food was super disappointing ! Lacked flavor and overpriced- the Cones were a take on French Laundry that failed in every possible way. Best part of meal was the miso soup. Ambiance and service was amazing!

    Enjoyed our evening. Sushi was a little pricey but very, very good. Oysters were excellent. Service was great. Nice whiskey selection, good vibe! Would definitely go again.

    We had the yellowfin sashimi, the yellow fin collar, squash blossom tempura and the Venue maki. We will keep coming back for the excellent food. Our attentive and friendly waiter suggested the perfect bottle of cold sake. We had a great dinner and were allowed to sit and relax.

    The food here is fantastic. I came to Palms Springs for a work event and someone recommended I stop here for dinner. By far some of the freshest fish and most flavorful I have had.
