   The food we ordered was tasty and great overall. My wife ordered the house wine which she enjoyed and I went with the old fashioned which turned out to be exquisite (hats off to the bartender). We ordered a sampler sushi platter and an octopus plate, the portion size were on the smaller size in comparison to let’s say Kabuki, but still fulfilling. The place was elegant yet cozy, but a bit loud for my taste. They did have an outside area and I believe they are pet friendly in the patio, so we may take our dogs to get a bath next door and then bring them over with us when they’re done. Although the selections were a bit overpriced in my opinion, the overall service and food was great for our occasion.

   The food was delicious and the staff are very accommodating! Parking can get a little tricky as it’s limited but definitely worth every effort!

   Sadly service and wait time was really bad. Took over 30 mins to order, 20 mins longer to get our drinks, wife got her first dish and I didn’t receive any of my order for another 30 mins. Fish quality was mid grade, price point was top tier. Unfortunate as we were really hoping sandfish was going to deliver and be our new sushi spot 😢

   Overall good experience. Koko roll was the bomb. Was seated next to the bathroom so that was kinda distracting but service was good.

   We love seeing this new addition to our neighborhood and were so excited to try it out! We had dinner to celebrate my husband's birthday and Sandfish did not disappoint! We started with the brussels sprouts and they were so delicious! We then shared "The Experiment" roll and the pork bao buns and they did not disappoint. So many unique and well balanced flavors, it was a highly enjoyable meal! We sat on the patio and I was nervous about getting chilly, but they had a fireplaced and well placed heaters, as well as offered a complimentary blanket if I requested- but the heaters were so well placed it was a comfortable temperature and the patio was so quaint. Lastly, our cocktails were DIVINE! We had a "custom" cocktail where we picked our spirit, noted we wanted it sweeter in nature and a few other details and the bartender did not disappoint. Overall it was a great experience and we are already making plans to go back!

   The menu is exceptional, with traditional sushi but also featuring many very interesting and outstanding creations. We had many dishes and every one was truly amazing. I highly recommend Sandfish and will be back often.

   The fish was so fresh but the tables are really close together and both parties next to me were extremely loud. Unfortunately my handroll was brought out wrong twice. The waitress should have checked the item. Im sure it would have been a better experience with a different, more experienced server. She also charged me for the item after it being made wrong twice which was off putting for such a “fine dining” establishment

   Service was amazing - love those people, all of them, from the hosts to the servers. Unfortunately, the food was pretty subpar, especially for the price. Could’ve gotten similar sushi, gyoza, and bao buns at any local Asian restaurant. Melrose/Midtown has amazing restaurants now (Valentine, Belly, Lylo, etc), so hopefully they’ll figure this out and catch up.

    My boyfriend and I came in and everything was so delicious. the black mussels are to die for with the miso broth and nice little bites of ginger. not only was sourdough good with the mussel itself but soaking the sourdough in the broth, next level. the yellowtail was so buttery and melted right in your mouth. alex was amazing as well. it was my boyfriends birthday and they set out a delicious matcha cheesecake. i cant stop raving about sandfish!

    Was really excited to try out this place! I love sushi and this just did not taste ok at all. Fish was sooooo thick in the yellowtail roll, it was unappetizing. Spicy tuna roll was covered in sauce hiding the actual tuna flavor. The crab roll was so creamy.. the squash tempura was flavorless. Service was great, but food was awful. Will not be returning

    Servers need to be a little smarter in how they put orders through to the kitchen so everything does not come out all at once. Other than that absolutely great whiskey cocktails and sushi! Will definitely be back and hope to have a smarter server!

    For this price point, the service was mediocre: forgetful, inexperienced, and messy. I’d be surprised if this place makes it past the beginning of summer. This is not Palm Springs. There’s plenty of sushi competition here.

    The food was amazing! Our only complaint is our server only stopped by every so often while the table next to us seemed to have a extremely attentive server. I will say they seemed to be regulars, we had a conversation with them and they gave us good advice on what to order since our server was elsewhere. I will say it was a busy night so we were understanding about the server possibly being overwhelmed.

    We had reservations for Valentine’s Day and I knew we’re going to be in the patio but the weather was horrible it was freezing. They did have heaters and offered blankets for guest which was nice but the patio setting just wasn’t great because you were right on the street. The food was good but pretty pricey and our server Steph was great but others seemed not very attentive and slow. It did take a while for someone to initially come to us and get our drink order. Wish we would’ve gotten some special desert or something to make the experience more romantic.

    Over priced for food value & service level. Interesting cocktails tho. Limited saki selection and server had no honest idea about their flavor profiles tho plenty of knowledge was faked. A large Japanese whisky selection (I'm not too familiar) and good sized American whiskey (mostly bourbon) menu but not much on the allocated side. Bathroom was trashed. 7pm on a Saturday. We were seated inside but the back patio looked really nice for a special evening if you want to try someplace new. For example: the $30 octopus main dish comes with a 7" solid section of leg placed over an edamame hummus. Presentation is nice enough but how do you eat a section of octopus leg without cutting it? All you get are chopsticks at the table. Guess I could grab it, take a bit and pass it along. We opted to not do that and waited to get a knife. Waited quite a while and finally flagged a different server to get one. Whole dish was freezing by the time we could eat it but was still very good. Suggestion: chef cuts sections into 6 to 8 chunks tightly packed together for same look but actually edible size pieces or a small decorative knife placed on plate at service. Either way...$30?

    One of the best sushi rolls I have had in my life and the best miso I have ever had. There were so many amazing options on the menu. It was honestly hard to choose but the fact that the ones I did choose were so good I will have to come back and try more!
