“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“
“Great little mom and pop place. Very generous portion with the Chicken Cup with broccoli and some veggies and white rice. The chicken was lovely. I gave 5 stars for atmosphere…clean, compact space for dining in.100% satisfied. I will definitely come back.“
“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.“
“Beautiful and wonderful restaurant. The food is absolutely delicious and fresh. The California Roll is fresh crab and I had 2 orders of it; their Miso soup is the best I have ever eaten. Nice wide booths and a sushi bar awaits you. Great service. There’s a very extensive menu to choose from; which includes true Japanese items. Ample parking and plenty of parking spaces are available. A lovely place to eat the most delicious food.“
“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“
“Hostess was very friendly & attentive, great suggestions, the sushi was great, saki refreshing & music was fun. I'd bet this is the best sushi in town hands down! ???My only suggestion would be to have the sushi chef wear a mask when he's prepping food ???UPDATE: Came back 3/15/24*Hostess was still very friendly & still attentive, still had great suggestions, the sushi was very good, saki refreshing & music remains fun.THE best sushi in town hands down! ???“
“Was in town recently and needed some dinner after a long day on the road. After giving the menu a couple read throughs I opted for the Forever with You roll and an order of the Vegetarian eggrolls. The service was professional, friendly and kind. My to go order was packed securely and with attention to details, including everything you might need in the package. The food was okay. The egg rolls (3 to an order) were crispy and golden brown, but the veggies were way over cooked, just mushy on the inside. The Forever with You roll was good, a nice large roll and very crunchy with nice texture and consistency throughout the roll, double ended shrimp tempura style. Sweet and spicy. A decent choice for my night there, and served its purpose. Had better and also had worse. 3.5 Stars rounded up because of the staffs attention to the details. 00941“

“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.“
“The food was very good with generous portions. I burned my hand on a hot plate. Customers should be told the plates are hot right from the beginning. The man who made our dinner did a great job. The crowd was really noisy the night we were there. I'd go back.Vegetarian options: Rice veggies sushiParking: Lots of free parkingKid-friendliness: Watching the waitstaff prepare the food was fun especially when they created a burst of flames.Wheelchair accessibility: Completely accessible“
“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!“
“Taka Shin restaurant exceeded all expectations! The sushi was a masterpiece of flavors and textures. From the melt-in-your-mouth sashimi to the expertly crafted rolls, every bite was a culinary delight. A definite must-visit for sushi lovers!“
