22 Best Japanese Restaurants near Palm Desert

“There is no better sushi anywhere in the desert cities. Every sushi, roll, and sashimi is fresh and delicious and beautifully prepared. Service is attentive. And considering the high quality, the price is very reasonable. We love it here and will continue to return.“

“Great food and service. Please support this mom & pop restaurant. The owners are so kind and friendly. They're very funny too. They make you feel welcomed and appreciated.
The few complaints I see about mistaken orders can be remedied by enunciating your orders or even pointing on the menu. All of chefs recommendations are tasty. But my boyfriend's and my stomach/heart belong to the terriyaki combo. Definitely get it with half noodles. The beef and chicken combo is top tier. I get it with shrimp too when I'm in the mood. They have beers which my boyfriend likes to get. I haven't tried anything on their drink menu yet but it's because their food is so filling already.
The dining area has cute wood seating arrangements that are comfy. They even got a large fan now so eating in is much better.“

“Cheap and good quality sushi. Would definitely come back.“

“Friendly informative, inviting, DELICIOUS!!!!“

“We had the NY steak and shrimp, Filet Minon and lobster mainly for our party. Food was delicious! Our cook Daniel was great. The servers were ready to provide refills without being asked. Delicious ice cream at the end and we also received some gifts. Great experience... we come every year with family and friends for our summer vacation.“

“We decided to try The Venue with a takeout order, and it definitely impressed us. The salmon sashimi was incredibly fresh, buttery, and absolutely delicious. The salmon avocado roll was excellent, and the tempura crab roll was another standout with great flavor and quality.
Even after a 20-minute drive home, everything still looked and tasted fresh, which says a lot about the quality and care put into the food. Based on this experience, we'll definitely be back—next time to enjoy the full dine-in experience!“

“It was a great dinner for our family of 11. The service was great until we ordered dessert, which never arrived. We finally canceled the desert and left because the kids were losing it. Something must have happened in the kitchen. That was the only time they were unresponsive.“

“Everything was delicious!! And service great!!!“

“great service, friendly staff fun atmosphere“

“Joes sushi was the first place I tried sushi when I was a kid. I still am loyal to this day and I always tell my friends and family my favorite restaurant is still “joes sushi” I love their food so much and the staff is awesome. I remember before it became “the Cabo way” they had the best priced all you can eat option which I believe they should bring back!“

“Very friendly staff, very delicious food, great sushi and udons.“

“Excellent experience. You have to be open to sitting with other people.“

“Just as good as I remember. I moved away from Palm Springs 12 years ago but was sent out for the day for work. I used to love this place when I lived here and was pleasantly surprised to see its still around. The same cute old couple is running it and the food is just how I remember it. Its simple, fresh, quality food for a good price.“

“very yummy and great service!“

“Patience combined with tenacity and a lot of cash will get you a fantastic lunch & dinner experience. Recommend throwing caution to the wind and sitting at the bar overlooking Stadium 2. Incredible sushi and lychee martinis.“

“Rolls are HUGE this could be good or bad depending on your preference but no matter what you order it’s going to be a delicious and each dish definitely puts on a show ! The place is small and cozy and service is good. The only thing I do stay away from here is the lemonade never had a lemonade taste so synthetic and fake. Over all this is a great establishment with rolls that have personality.“

“Amazing food, good service“

“BEST Sushi in the desert! Consistently great.“

“Best sushi anywhere!!!“

“Great service, nice pieces of fish.“
