“My husband and I were visiting Palm Springs again and somebody mentioned that we should try this place. It was so delicious, the sushi, edamame, potstickers, everything, and the staff was amazing and kept checking on us every few minutes. Everybody was so nice! Would highly recommend this place. Very reasonable prices as well.“

Spicy Ramen

“The food and service was fantastic -- my spouse and I shared the umami edamame, the agedashi tofu, and the fried seaweed rolls. The seaweed rolls were nice and crispy on the outside and filled with glass noodles on the inside - I'm glad I tried them, but I don't think I'd order them again. For my main dish, I had the Hamachi (yellowtail collar) with some of the cucumber, avocado roll that we shared. My spouse had the vegetable tempura - they were all beautifully presented excellent taste, no complaints. I was disappointed that they weren't offering bibimbap or ramen, butI wouldn't mind going back to try another time. We came in for an early dinner and so they weren't very many people in the restaurant when we first came in, but by the time we left, the restaurant was packed absolutely packed, with people waiting outside to get a seat. My advice is go early.“

Our experience here was very satisfying and we recommend this spot to anyone looking for a sushi fix out here in the desert. Thank you again for your hospitality and enjoyable atmosphere of your restaurant that made us feel welcomed.“

“on a side street steps from La Plaza in downtown Palm Springs , but quiet and secluded so you feel miles away from the hustle and bustle! The chef makes delicious food, some french some asian and some an interesting combination of the two. Quiches are exquisite here as are the lightly dressed salads for lunch, which is what our party of four experienced at French Miso Cafe 3/8/24. Service was superb, with the chef himself checking with us to make sure we were happy with our meals. A hidden neighborhood gem“

“Interesting to find a shabu shabu place in the middle of the desert. The service was good, but could improve it bit. After we ordered, for the next 29-25 minutes no one stopped by and ask if we needed anything. The food, for the most part, was decent. The quality of the beef itself was slightly disappointing. We ordered both the regular and the premium, and both were just okay. We also had the octopus tapa and the sea bass tapa. They were pretty good, but the eggplant that came with the sea bass was well prepared and its texture was very good. We also had a few hot sake. They were excellent as well“

“Okay this place was incredible. It was super unassuming by its looks but ended up being one of our favorite meals of our trip! We started with the enoki (very umami, savory but sour flavor so good), the chicken teriyaki (very good), the tuna nigiri(melt in your mouth), the signature tuna took (also melt in your mouth incredible) and the star of the show the black snapper nigiri. Absolutely order if that’s in the menu, I’ve never had anything like it!! Hot sake was good to accompany the food. Wasabi was excellent as was the ginger. We will absolutely be back!!“

“Great service. We dined here as a family as guests of the JW Marriott. The location was fun for our little kids who explored the gardens and enjoyed the lights after dark. The staff was friendly and more than accommodating when I asked them to find something that accidentally got thrown away (due to my mistake). The chef at our table was full of jokes and kept us entertained. The food portions were big!Nothing over the top about the food, classic teppanyaki but lots of fun, entertainment, and friendly and helpful staff.“

“I was thinking this was a sit down sushi place. Well, nooo.... It's an order at the counter and grab a table. The sushi was on par with this style. It's a room with tables, that's it... The people behind the counter felt like they might own the place, and were very nice. I had a beer with my food, which was nice. The bento box was very good. I might have not stayed, but the people really felt nice and interested in providing a good experience. Still, sushi and this style don't vibe well for me. Maybe if there was any Japanese sushi style anything? Maybe offer table service? For a quick stop and grab a bit, without doing a fast food spot, this is a good place. For a sushi spot, it's not. Do a bento box.“

“Reservations paired our group of four with a couple celebrating a birthday. There were a couple of other empty seats at our table. The soup and salad were flavorful. Soup nice and hot. Salad fresh. Good start. Our chef was entertaining and did the usual tricks, onion volcano, flipping food into the guests mouths. He was fun and all of our food was good. I chose shrimp and chicken. The others in our group wanted filet and chicken which was not an option on the menu but they accommodated without issue. We had more than enough food and took some home for lunch the next day. Staff was efficient and accommodating. Nice stop.“

“Dragon Sushi is next to Dragon Cafe, only separated by a spacious outdoor patio with plenty of seating for both establishments. The decor and color palate throughout the restaurant is quite appealing, warm and welcoming. The restaurant has a feng shui flow about it. The booths, big enough for six, are quite private with high walls between them. We were quickly seated by the hostess and Angelica, our server, was quick to arrive full of smiles and asked to start a drink order. Plum wine and raspberry lemon drop were at the top of our list. The plum wine offered a refreshingly sweet, almost juice-like, experience. I had a second glass without hesitation and definitely enjoying the affects. The raspberry lemon drop provided a chilled, sweet and sour martini. For dinner we were served the chicken teriyaki bowl that came with miso soup and side salad with just the right amount of dressing that didn't drown the lettuce and shredded carrots. Perfect!Our other dish was the Passion Roll that brought the tastebuds to a tap dance over a menagerie of mango, tuna, cream cheese, crab meat, shrimp tempura, Serrano pepper and rice with a sauce that topped it off. Dessert anyone? Offered, thanks Angelica, but not at this table. Dinner offered plenty to fill us. The whole ride home I kept saying, "I ate too much."I'm so happy to report that the table was cleared as we finished our meal. Angelica was on it as quickly as she could be given she had other tables and was back and forth to the bar making cocktails for her tables. She checked on us a couple times during our meal to ensure we happy and if she could get us anything. Overall, fantastic experience: aesthetics, customer service, cocktails, food and cleanliness. We'll be back!“
