The food was delicious, 5 stars on everything we got (scallops, cauliflower bao buns, beef gyoza, and the panna cotta for dessert). I also had the Freya cocktail. Can’t wait to go back!

We ordered the Omasake for 2 ($140) each. It is about 7-8 small course/s. The service was so slow (sometimes 20 mins) between each course. After eating 4 courses we stopped eating and asked for it to stop. We paid the full bill and tipped. But we’re very disappointed. Would not recommend.

We enjoyed the Chef's 9 course tasing menu. It was outstanding, the spicy tuna tostada, Spanish octopus, raw scallops, foie gras and Signature rolls were highlights. I would highly encourage a visit to Sandfish Sushi.

What a great little restaurant! Can’t find one thing wrong with our visit! The food was exceptional, the drinks were superb, service was even better! We tried the yellowtail for a starter, few speciality rolls and the boa buns, and for dessert we had the panna cotta, so delicious!! EVERYTHING!!

My daughter & I had dinner at Sandfish Sushi & Whiskey for the first time last night. We sat on the back patio, which was just lovely. Our server Stephanie was so pleasant and had great recommendations. We tried many items, our favorites were the Spicy Tuna Tostada's, The Venue Roll and the Tempura California Roll (which helped bring down the heat after a bite of the Venue Roll). We will definitely be back!

Truly outstanding again, went on Friday night this time and while there were more people then the time he went on Sunday and there was no one there, this place should be jam-packed till it's open. I can't reemphasize how important it is for us to support businesses that stay open late in the Central City corridor. You can't be a real City unless you have late night places to frequent - and this place is a gem! ALSO - where else can you get EXCELLENT caviar with the accoutrements made fresh for you on order in Central Phoenix? Thank you Sandfish for trying to make city living a thing!

This is a gem! We made reservations for 9 pm (THANK YOU! for staying open late! limited options in the area at that time that is not fast food) and almost turned around because we did not think it was open. We drove up and we saw staff but thought that they were cleaning up because it was empty - C'MON phoenix! Support these local gems - and especially one that is open late! Get out there and dine late on a sunday!!! Help support excellent food and drinks that are giving the late night restaurant vibe (like in REAL cities) a go! The drinks are expertly crafted (well done Josh!), food was fresh and superb and they even have a wonderful caviar tray where they make the accoutrements fresh before they serve - including the crème fraiche! Central phoenix folks - wake up! 8:15 PM pm a sunday and the place was empty. The food and the drinks warrant this place be jamming until 10pm!

This restaurant visit was exceptionally good. I come from Europe and travel frequently to the US: So far I had found many great restaurants in Phoenix (mostly good steakhouses) but so far there was no good spot for sushi. This has now changed. I had a great evening, also thanks to the very nice waitress Elisabeth and the excellent sushi dishes from the kitchen. In L.A. I had last found comparable but the own creations like the Sandfish Roll are exceptionally tasty. In general, the selection on the menu is huge - for this reason alone, I urgently need to come back to try more great rolls. The fish quality, especially the sashimi, is very fresh. Overall a great experience for me which definitely leads me to come here again - thank you very much

I usually do not write reviews but in Sandfish’s case I am going to write. WOW! The service is exceptional and only topped by the outstanding cuisine. Our party had multiple dishes and each was fresh, perfectly presented, and tasted magnificent. Our server balanced her appearance at our table like a plate balancer - like she could read our minds. In Phoenix, there might be fancier or more publicized sushi locations (been there, done that) - I would always select Sandfish first. Add to your list of top sushi locations, not just in Phoenix, but the entire west!

I made a reservation for my birthday, and when I got there, they were not aware of any reservations, so there is no point to reserve a table after all online. which made me feel very uncomfortable. The service was all right but I felt like it was just too much. I could pour my own soda in my cup. I get it tho she was just trying to be nice. When we were getting ready to leave, we were waiting on our waitress to bring back our receipt which never happened we ended up walking out and letting her keep the change, although our plan was to tip her a little more, I was just overwhelmed with the whole experience probably won’t come here again. pricing is all right my boyfriend paid 70$ for two sushi rolls & soda drinks.

This is a must visit gem of a sushi place. I didn’t even get to the raw fish. After seaweed salad with octopus, braised and grilled Spanish octopus, and the hamachi Kama (yellowtail collar/throat); I was done. I had a delicious mocktail—mango and orange juices and other mocktail ingredients and tried the panna cotta which was okay. Josh the host/barkeep is very nice, knowledgeable,and professional as is the sushi chef. I’ll be back to try the many sushi options. It’s pricey but absolutely worth it. Wes
