Sandfish Sushi & Whiskey

My friend and I stopped in for a catchup dinner and we just randomly chose a place on OpenTable and let me tell you it was amazing. I loved the look and decor of the restaurant and we were immediately greeted when we walked in by the host. Our server, Stephanie, was amazing - Thank you girl! I saved my appetite for dinner so I wanted to try a little of everything. I ordered the spicy tuna tostadas, miso soup, California Experience Roll w/ real crab and the Chicken Gyoza. Everything was on point and I wanted to order more but I was completely full. Thank you and I think I am stopping in tonight for a to order haha!

I came here for dinner with several people from work. I had heard that this place was rather pricey, so I was glad I didn't have to pay for the meal! When you get to the restaurant, parking is pretty tricky. There are only a few spaces out front, no lot in the back, and no valet. I ended up parking behind Copper Star Coffee (even though I probably wasn't supposed to, but what else was I supposed to do!)We sat out back, which was very nice. The inside of the restaurant looked small, but nice as well.We started off ordering drinks. I ordered this amazing cocktail that tasted like a spicy margarita with matcha in it. We ordered a few sushi rolls, some duck bao buns, the scallop and braised octopus appetizers. I also ordered a scallop hand roll. The service was great. All of the food was very good, but the one thing I noticed is that none of the flavors "popped" like they did with my cocktail. This is one thing I have appreciated about some other good sushi restaurants I have been to (they sometimes add a subtle hint of acid or a sauce that pairs well with the dishes).

As sushi places go this is pretty legit I have had the pleasure of dining at their Palm Springs location for me birthday a few years ago and was wowed Heard they were opening here so gave it a whirl Service is spot onBartender has his bourbon and whiskey knowledge down patRolls are phenomenal All the nigiri is fantastic Sashimi was okWas trying to hold off on the review since I didn't want this place to be overwhelmed Check out the back patio..

Amazing always!! The best quality fish and the drinks are incredible they also have a great happy hour menu. For the NA folks there is a wonderful selection of mocktails too :)

Sandfish is an absolute gem in Phoenix's Melrose District! This authentic sushi spot never disappoints with its fresh and diverse menu options. The cocktails and mocktails are a mixology dream, and the service is top-notch. Some of the menu's MVPs are the cauliflower bao buns, chicken gyoza, venue roll, and tuna tostadas. Josh and Katy are rockstars who always make us feel deeply welcome every time we stop in. If you want a lovely spot to have a meal that consistently hits the spot, look no further than Sandfish. Bonus: happy hour menu everyday from 4:30-6:30pm!

Really beautiful place. The entire restaurant is simple, yet elegant (perfect for a date night), the staff is friendly and the food was delicious. In my opinion the price point is really high for what you're getting but for some dishes (like the gyoza) it was worth it!

If I could give it 6 stars I would with no doubt, food is on point can't explain more complimentary flavors on every dish we've had. The service was above and beyond thank you Katie really appreciated the knowledge as well as making a guest feel at home. Thank you and we will be back

I ordered it ubereats, and they definitely get an A+ for packaging. As far as the rolls, I ordered 3:The Venue roll: this one I'd rate highly and the sauces were really tasty. It had a nice kick and left me satisfied.The Sandfish roll: yeah no. It was coated in fried potato crisps, but once you remove the crunch, it tasted like a basic California roll (but 5 times the price). The Wagyu roll: could be the time til delivery or perhaps the fact I ate it sober, but I was not impressed. The meat didn't have much flavor. The side salad was heavy and not so tasty. Also just a basic roll with thin sliced meat on top.I'm not giving it 3 star because the quality of the ingredients is above that grade. However, 5 star would imply amazing taste. Four stars seems pretty accurate. I actually think this sushi would be excellent (and perhaps even 5 star) after 3 mixed drinks.

I'm new to living in the area and was in the mood for sushi. I found this place on yelp and decided to give it a try. It was very nice inside but a little pricey on the menu. I was not impressed at all with the service.the bartender was too busy chatting up the guy at the other end of the bar to fill my water glass. The quality of food was good, but not considering the price. Not sure I'll be going back as a local.
