4 Best Japanese Restaurants near Desert Hot Springs

“As others have said... do not judge the food by the outside. This place was amazing! The older couple are amazing! The service was fast! And the food was delicious! It was well worth the 45min drive to it. The spicy garlic edamame was the best I've ever had! Well worth the trip.“

“We have lost count of how many times we’ve eaten here, but this is officially our absolute go-to sushi spot. Every single visit reminds us why we keep coming back.The fish is always incredibly fresh, but the real star of the show for me is the True Value roll. It is an absolute must-try—perfectly balanced, packed with flavor, and something I crave on a weekly basis. The hospitality here is unmatched. A massive shoutout to our server, Karla, who is always so attentive, welcoming, and makes us feel like family every time we walk through the door. Behind the counter, Chef Martin is a master at what he does. His talent and consistency are the reasons the food is always flawless.“

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

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