    Philly Roll!!!
    S. Annette L.

    Consistently delicious, family owned restaurant. Great variety of food, great portions, tasty, friendly service and comfortable interior. A local favorite for sure.

    Amigo Roll
    Cyn C.

    It was okay, my date picked the oysters and the salmon roll. I choose the amigo roll and a scallop hand roll. The ambiance was okay as well not too fancy and not too bummy. The service was also okay, they were not as attentive as I would have loved them to be. Overall okay if you want some quick sushi.

    This place is fabulous! No matter what time I come in, the service is fast and fresh and delicious. Get the truffle salmon sashimi as soon as you walk in. You will want to take a bath in that delicious truffle sauce. The baked salmon roll is delicious. Just a little bit of spice mixed with the eel sauce gives that pop of flavor. Everything else here I've tried is wonderful. I cannot say enough about this place and I'm so glad it's here. Also, there is a great big parking lot behind, so don't bother on the main drag out there. Happy Sushi equals happy me!

    Cockroach on floor
    John J.

    I have been coming to happy sushi for over five years. I am a local. I love coming here and I love their Palm Springs roll and their hot sake. However, today I was having lunch and there was a cockroach on the floor. I notified the staff and they said that the owner has Pest Control and there's nothing they can do about it as it's in their walls and It's in their ceiling. They're everywhere but they're not "food or in the drinks". I showed my server and he did nothing to accommodate me and just went on to explain that this is normal. It completely grossed me out and I could not eat anymore and I had to leave. I paid the bill in full - was not comped or anything. And I got out of there. Very sad as I use to be a regular at this Palm Springs downtown restaurant.

    The servers were really friendly here. The food came out within a good time. The food was good and as expected. The restaurant was nice and clean.

    I am baffled at the rating this sushi joint has because it's a false reflection! This place is amazing! So much that it's one of the few places I eat sushi from! This time I ordered a bulgogi bowl and while it was good, I found the food to taste dry, perhaps because the skillet dried it out? Not worth $20. Next time I'd like to try the chicken teriyaki option. The service is quick and pleasant!

    Sushi combo 2 nigiri
    Hnin T.

    Came to visit Palm Springs for a visit and this sushi place did not disappoint. The staff was so kind and very helpful. The ambiance was nice and cozy. The food was delicious. We ordered lots of food and it was all so good. The sushi combo 2 I got yellowtail, salmon, and albacore instead of tuna and it was delicious. The scallop appetizer was yummy too but it's a little sweet for me. The fried green bean was yummy alongside with the jalepeno popper. Definitely will stop by again.

    I was surprised that the reviews of this place was pretty low, granted it's no fine dining but it definitely deserves more than average! The service was fast and friendly, nestled in a busy area in downtown Palm Springs, it's a nice vibe. The employees are very friendly and the food was yummy, no complaints!

    Eel nigiri
    Adam S.

    First time! The sushi was good. I didn't have anything super "fresh fish" style, but the eel nigiri and the Philadelphia roll I had were very nice. The eel was wonderfully tender, and the roll was lovely. The roe was bright and flavorful, and the rolls had good structural integrity. The service was quick and friendly! We were waited on by a couple different people, and both were attentive and well mannered. The restaurant itself is a bit dim & the ambiance is casual and comfortable. Space is a bit tight between tables and in the walking space, but it's manageable.

    Bananie P.

    We have eaten here at least five times and every time it is really, really tasty! We're always seated immediately, the service is SUPER fast and friendly. The beer is very cold and the sake is perfectly hot! Every single roll we've had from the simple sashimi to the specialty rolls. They have even made rolls upon request (spicy scallop!) We haven't tried the ramen / poke or some of the other ala cart items. The atmosphere is fun and vibrant and the location is so easy to walk to in Palm Springs.

Rich, complex, and seriously flavorful. Word to the wise: stick with level 2 spice and order extra on the side. I've tried level 3, and unless you're looking for a serious heat challenge, level 2 gives you all the flavor without destroying your taste buds. Best part? They include a full egg in every bowl at no extra charge. Most places upcharge for that. They also offer variety beyond standard pork broth, including a solid vegetarian option. Service is attentive without hovering, prices are fair for generous portions, and the modern vibe with newer music beats the typical ramen house atmosphere. This spot fills a real gap in the desert dining scene. Definitely adding it to my regular rotation!

The kimchi was pretty good. I liked how crunchy it was. Other friends got the beef rib soup and kimchi fried rice. The beef rib soup was also really flavorful. The kimchi fried rice was also pretty good. It came with spam. It's a pretty small place. They were able to accommodate 6 people at a table on one side.

This is where my wife got her knife set, tea sets, and a lot of pieces we still use all the time. It's one of those places where everything feels intentional. Nothing feels random or mass produced. You can tell there's real thought behind what they carry. What really stayed with me was the bonsai. The owner had one he was trimming and mentioned he's had it for over 30 years. That says everything. The patience, the care, the discipline behind something like that. It's not just a plant, it's a reflection of time and commitment. You don't see that kind of passion everywhere. The quality across the board is strong. The knives, the tea sets, everything feels like it was chosen for a reason, not just to fill shelves. And the ownership and staff are amazing. Welcoming, easy to talk to, and you can tell they genuinely care about what they're doing. It doesn't feel transactional, it feels personal. This is one of those places you end up coming back to without even planning it. Love this place.
