11 Best Japanese Restaurants near Palm Springs

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

“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.“

“great service, friendly staff fun atmosphere“

“Great food and service. Please support this mom & pop restaurant. The owners are so kind and friendly. They're very funny too. They make you feel welcomed and appreciated.
The few complaints I see about mistaken orders can be remedied by enunciating your orders or even pointing on the menu. All of chefs recommendations are tasty. But my boyfriend's and my stomach/heart belong to the terriyaki combo. Definitely get it with half noodles. The beef and chicken combo is top tier. I get it with shrimp too when I'm in the mood. They have beers which my boyfriend likes to get. I haven't tried anything on their drink menu yet but it's because their food is so filling already.
The dining area has cute wood seating arrangements that are comfy. They even got a large fan now so eating in is much better.“

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

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

“We were visiting Palm Springs and loved it so much that we came back two days in a row. We will definitely come back again the next time we’re in Palm Springs. Highly recommend! Every dish was fresh, delicious, and the portions were very generous.“

“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.“

“very yummy and great service!“

“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.“

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