“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!“
“This little sushi bar is located in downtown Palm Springs close to the Marilyn Monroe statue. The people who work here are amazing. I was traveling alone and ate at the bar. The waiters were very attentive and helpful. The sushi was good, but not as traditional as I like—they used a little too much mayo for my taste. I had a spicy tuna roll (my go to) and edamame, which was tasty. The service and atmosphere was great.“
“This was a quick and easy spot to grab some sushi, and poke.Parking in downtown Palm springs can sometimes be challenging, but this restaurant was easy to get in and get seated, the food was served quickly and was delicious, and the service was delightful.The location is very close to the art museum, and close to all of the activities for the Thursday night festivals downtown.We enjoyed the jalapeno stuffed bites to start, and then ordered a variety of rolls and sushi bowls to enjoy and share amongst group. It was the perfect amount of food and everybody was very good.The staff and service were delightful, there when we needed them and left us to dine when we were busy with our food.There are dozens of restaurants in this area. If you are in the mood for poke, or just need a quick place to sit down and feel comfortable and unrushed this would be a terrific choice.“
“One of the best meals we had in Palm Springs, and frankly some of the best sushi rolls I’ve ever had. The food is beautiful to look at, but more importantly, each part contributes to complex flavors and textures.Our server was fantastic, friendly, and had some great recommendations.“
“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.“
“Thank you Gerardo!! We appreciated your professionalism & service. And the food was beyond good!!!! Kudos to the Chef!!! See you next weekend with the rest of my family!! We're looking for good places to eat around the desert! We live in Coachella! Thank you again "The Morales Family"“
“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! ???“
“Nice sushi spot. A couple outdoor tables on a patio facing the main walk at the River. Very attentive and kind staff. Sushi was solid; but a bit expensive for the amount of fish/sushi you get. Plenty of parking throughout the complex. Right next to ice cream (Ben and Jerry’s), and just a 2 min walk from the movie theatre. Pretty fun Gorilla figure on the KingKong speciality roll. The salmon nigiri was solid; but not special. The baked and then grilled chicken was the same, solid but not a stand out. We were satisfied overall. We mentioned our allergy, and there were no allergy ingredients included. We did ask for the sauces/dressing to be on the side, but they were not. No big deal for us, but if you have an allergy be ready to remind them!Vegetarian options: Plenty of roll offeringsDietary restrictions: Plenty of veg optionsParking: Tons of parking throughout the shopping district. There is also a valley option near the restaurantKid-friendliness: Yes!!Wheelchair accessibility: Ada compliant“
“We recently moved to Palm Springs and were looking for an all you can eat sushi. Looks like thats not common here. We decided to give Memo's a try and we were pleasantly surprised. They have a lot of options. The sashimi was fresh, the rolls were delicious and their portions are very generous. We thought it would be another place like Culichitown, IT IS NOT! They have traditional rolls as well as their own creations. The chef sent us a roll on the house to try and OMG. I wish I remembered the names of the rolls we got to recommend but I'm sure all are delicious. Going there for dinner tonight, can't wait to try different ones. Excellent and friendly service too!“
“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“
“Overall pretty great. We’ve been several times and only once was the food not too great. I rated it 4 as it is definitely not the absolute best I’ve had in town, but definitely a more budget friendly option. Tonight’s food was definitely 5/5“

“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“
“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.“
“Sushi salad was awesome. The rolls are very big but not rolled tight enough. The staff, on the other hand, was slow coming back to the table to take our dinner order after they brought our appetizers. They were standing around talking to each other. That was until the boss came in. Would have ordered more but not after being there for 2 hours.Vegetarian options: Avocado roll, seaweed salad, tofu roll, cucumbers salad“
“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!“
“Thanks for offering so many vegan plant based options on your menu. We got drunken noodles, yellow curry and fresh spring rolls. All were excellent fresh and good size portions. Did take out and food was ready on time. Restaurant looked busy as well.“
