“Very friendly staff, very delicious food, great sushi and udons.“

“This is a great option for people looking for something slightly different from the chain restraints and burger joints. The food is good and so is the service. Parking can be a challenge on busier days and the parking lot definitely needs some TLC.“

“great service, friendly staff fun atmosphere“

“There is no better sushi anywhere in the desert cities. Every sushi, roll, and sashimi is fresh and delicious and beautifully prepared. Service is attentive. And considering the high quality, the price is very reasonable. We love it here and will continue to return.“

“Superb quality! Apart from Shabu Shabu in Rancho Mirage, this is the real Japanese sushi restaurant in Palm Springs!“

“Very tasty food! Teriyaki Chicken was delicious! Freshly made and soft. Wife enjoyed her tempura California roll and she ate the whole thing and had nothing but great things to say about it. The couple who run, possibly own, are great. Will be returning“

“Excellent experience. You have to be open to sitting with other people.“

“Just as good as I remember. I moved away from Palm Springs 12 years ago but was sent out for the day for work. I used to love this place when I lived here and was pleasantly surprised to see its still around. The same cute old couple is running it and the food is just how I remember it. Its simple, fresh, quality food for a good price.“

“Friendly informative, inviting, DELICIOUS!!!!“

“It was a great dinner for our family of 11. The service was great until we ordered dessert, which never arrived. We finally canceled the desert and left because the kids were losing it. Something must have happened in the kitchen. That was the only time they were unresponsive.“

“We had the NY steak and shrimp, Filet Minon and lobster mainly for our party. Food was delicious! Our cook Daniel was great. The servers were ready to provide refills without being asked. Delicious ice cream at the end and we also received some gifts. Great experience... we come every year with family and friends for our summer vacation.“

“We decided to try The Venue with a takeout order, and it definitely impressed us. The salmon sashimi was incredibly fresh, buttery, and absolutely delicious. The salmon avocado roll was excellent, and the tempura crab roll was another standout with great flavor and quality.
Even after a 20-minute drive home, everything still looked and tasted fresh, which says a lot about the quality and care put into the food. Based on this experience, we'll definitely be back—next time to enjoy the full dine-in experience!“

“Everything was delicious!! And service great!!!“
