Such a great experience at Joyce Sushi! Hannah gave us the best service -- so sweet, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. They were amazing with our toddler and even gave him a little monster car and crayons to color with, which absolutely made his night. The menu is HUGE with so many options for everyone, not just sushi lovers. Everything was delicious and the whole experience felt so family-friendly and thoughtful. Definitely one of our new favorite spots! (Excuse the halfway-through photos... we forgot until we already dug in read more

Came here last week after Coachella with a party of 10. The service did not disappoint! Our server Brandy was amazing! She handled everything incredibly well from the start. She was patient, organized, and kept a great attitude the entire time, even with all of our requests and the chaos that naturally comes with a large group. So huge shoutout to her for making it such a great experience The food was amazing. We ordered a good mix of appetizers, rolls, bento boxes, and the huge 30pc sashimi combo. Everything came out quickly and they did not miss on the flavor! Everything was seasoned perfectly, the fish was incredibly fresh, beautiful presentation, and the overall quality was just top tier! read more

What a fun spot! The energy and service in here was great and it was packed! We sat at the sushi bar and getting to see our rolls made was an extra special treat. The sushi chefs are a great team and are great at what they do. We got an array of treats and every dish we had was delicious. I want to try everything on the menu and am looking forward to coming back again. Okay thanks bye! read more

Absolutely one of our must visit spots when we come to town! Ambiance is beautiful, staff are friendly, and food is ALWAYS excellent! Our favorites is the Shrimp Tempura appetizer and we all share the dinner combination of Chicken Teriyaki and Tonkatsu. This feeds all three of us! We absolutely love this place! read more

I'm confused by such high reviews for this place.... Maybe they are known for the tuna cutting show or it speaks to how bad the rest of the sushi places generally are in the area? It's not bad but nothing special with decent fish and rolls that were oddly served in bowls. Nothing tasted bad but nothing was that great but pricing seemed kinda high for what it was. They charged me dinner special prices at 2:30pm cuz they said lunch menu ends at 2pm but it didn't say that on the menu... read more

Overpriced I guess you should expect to pay more when eating out in a touristy area like Palm Springs. The food here is slightly above average. Their sushi is solid. Their udon and miso soup was a tad too salty. The katsu and shrimp tempura was not bad actually. However, given the prices, I was expecting more. For example, the chirashi bowl was $45 and probably just enough food for one person. read more

I came with my business associate and we came to Joyce Sushi for dinner. The service is excellent, the staff is very accommodating, and very professional. The food is 5 star. They use quality fish and the portion of the Jumbo Spider Roll is huge! We got a bottle of Sapporo and Hot sake. If you are ever in the area come visit Joyce Sushi. You won't be disappointed read more

Service was poor, we had to flag someone down twice just to order and pay. No one checked on us the entire time, and we felt ignored. The kids' meal was overpriced at $16, and while the food was decent, it wasn't great. The free ice cream they give for 5-star reviews explains the high ratings more than the actual experience. read more

Joyce's Sushi - Fake reviews - Japanese Near Me - Rancho Mirage, California

We came here for dinner and had a great experience overall. I ordered the dinner special, which lets you choose 2 items for $25 or 3 items for $30 (some items have about a $5 upcharge). The special also comes with white rice, soup and salad, which made it an even better deal. I chose the pork katsu and a spicy salmon roll. The pork katsu came with two nicely sized cutlets that were moist and well cooked -- definitely a solid value for the price. Overall, my meal felt like a great deal. My husband ordered the 15-piece sashimi platter. It was on the pricier side at $60, but the portions were massive and very generous. He really enjoyed it and felt it was worth it given the quality and quantity. His meal also came with soup and salad. The soup was a mushroom miso -- a little on the salty side, but still tasty. The salad was a pleasant surprise: fresh mixed greens instead of the usual iceberg lettuce you often see at Japanese restaurants. It was served with a light Italian dressing, which felt a bit unexpected for a Japanese place, but it actually worked and tasted very good. Service was good, the restaurant was clean, and it's located in a strip mall with plenty of parking, which is always convenient. We'd definitely come back, especially for the dinner specials. read more

Joyce's Sushi - Crunchy spicy salmon and the caterpillar roll - Japanese Near Me - Rancho Mirage, California

It really should be a 4 1/2 for this. Actually yelps should have half stars on their rating system. That's a discussion for another day. My friend had the dinner special with pork and rice and salad and enjoyed it. He says it's a four star. The service was fast. I had the fresh king salmon tuna albacore roll and the freshwater eel roll. My only complaint is that there was not enough sauce for either one. The miso soup was tasty. Didn't need the mushrooms. We were seated quickly and served quickly. The staff certainly gets their steps in. read more

i am so disappointed in this place. It has been around awhile now, they just opened a second location, and they make it look real nice in their tv ads. Sadly disappointing. The decor is weird, it has no asian zen vibe. It is like walking into a 1970's hotel cafe. just inside the door is a display case of cheap bracelets and a rack of potato chips for sale. The chairs are so narrow and hard, they feel like your sitting in a cage. The vegetable tempura was greasy and it seems like the only vegetable they like to use, is either some kind of yam or squash, since they were 4 out of the six pieces. I think the others were eggplant and some kind of pepper. What happened to the carrots, broccoli, onion and green beans that most place serve. read more

Joyce's Sushi - Dinner Special - Japanese Near Me - Rancho Mirage, California

Was looking for a new local sushi spot because our old favorite has been a little disappointing the last few times, and yelp reviews convinced us to try Joyce's, and I'm glad we did! Place is bigger than expected and busy, almost every table was taken. The sushi is extremely fresh and has so much, and very little rice. Definitely feels like you are getting your moneys worth. The spicy salmon crunch roll was especially delicious, and the cucumber salad was fresh and yummy! The service is a little chaotic, it seems like all the wait staff help all the tables so it's a little unorganized, but everyone is very kind and helpful, but don't be surprised if your food comes in a weird order, or you have to ask for a water refill twice. If you want a no frills DELICIOUS sushi spot, I'd recommend! read more

Nice place. A little congested when you walk in. Overwhelming display of items for sale and drinks in the fridge displayed. The salmon skin hand roll wasn't the greatest - way too dry. The beef and salmon plate is good for 2.5 people. I think the salmon is good - I asked for the teriyaki sauce on the side. The service was ok. They took forever for refills and even forgot my sister's soda refill. I think the food caters to the main demographics in Palm Springs. I would not come here again. read more

This place is filthy dirty! Went to men's room to wash hands and bathroom was disgusting. Door didn't shut and side in the restroom was FULL of years of dirty handprints and shoe marks where people obviously used feet to get door to shut. Sink had nasty mold all over it and floor had urine all over as did the wall next to toilet. When got to table it was covered with glass which was smeared of grease....whole environment was pretry disgusting. Can only imagine what kitchen looks like. Would never go again. Horrible experience. read more

I've been to Joyce's Sushi a few times now and it's always solid. The fish tastes fresh and the portions are actually pretty good for the price. I usually go for the spicy tuna and salmon sashimi and they've never disappointed. Service is quick and everyone's pretty friendly, even when it's busy. It's nothing super fancy, but it's clean and comfortable. Definitely one of my go-to spots when I'm craving sushi and don't want to spend a ton but still get good quality. read more

Joyce's Sushi - Golden Joyce - Japanese Near Me - Rancho Mirage, California

This was a very disappointing sushi experience. The sashimi pieces were unusually large, but the quality was poor and the texture and taste were genuinely unpleasant. That ended up being the low point of the entire meal. The rest of the sushi and rolls were unremarkable and did not stand out in freshness, flavor, or presentation, especially given the high price. It also appeared that the restaurant offers free items in exchange for positive reviews, which made the overall ratings feel unreliable. Combined with the underwhelming food quality and cost, this is not a place I would return to or recommend. read more

My 1,600th review goes to... Joyce's Sushi! Here's the thing: My name is Joyce. I walked into Joyce's Sushi while on vacation and immediately felt like I'd stumbled into a weird, delicious version of that Spiderman meme. You know, the one where three Spidermans point at each other. Except in my version, it's me pointing at two sushi rolls named Joyce Roll and Golden Joyce Roll. Three Joyces and one table? Oh my! The Joyce Roll is everything I would want in a maki roll: Deep fried salmon, asparagus, and cream cheese, topped with tuna, shrimp, and jalapenos with "special sauce" on top. Then comes the Golden Joyce Roll, a golden-hued work of art that tastes like it was designed just for me (Coincidence? I think not.). It was a shrimp tempura roll with tuna and salmon with more special sauce. I believe they were both $22 each. Both insanely good but the OG Joyce Roll had my skirt flipping like the Forever Marilyn Statue in downtown Palm Springs. Dining here felt less like a meal and more like a joyful celebration of all things Joyce. If you're craving sushi that's expertly crafted and has a funny twist of fate (or the universe telling you to treat yourself), this is the place. They have a fun kitty cat robo server too. read more

Joyce's Sushi - Menu 3-30-2026 - Japanese Near Me - Rancho Mirage, California

I have definitely had better Sushi in the Coachella Valley and it lacked the appropriate amount of servers. I remember the tuna sashimi was triangular shaped and it was very chewy, also it was my least favorite of the fish, which is kind of difficult since the tuna is usually the better option. Had to bug the sushi chef for a drink refill and the bill, since no server would visit us. For the price, I would think this service would be better. The ambiance was a little tight feeling, meaning I felt squished in between all the other tables. read more

Joyce's Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Rancho Mirage, California

The food here is fresh and flavorful, with several standouts worth trying. The sashimi was high quality, the salad was crisp and fresh, and the tempura shrimp had a light, satisfying crunch. We also enjoyed a few specialty rolls, nicely presented and creative without being overdone, though the rice was minimal and the consistency varied from roll to roll. That said, the service was noticeably inconsistent. Our server came across as a bit pushy when taking our order, and once the food arrived, she rarely checked in. Water wasn't refilled, and we had to flag someone down for any additional requests. Other staff members cleared our plates, but our waitress was mostly absent throughout the meal. They even use a robot to help serve, so what's the excuse? Interestingly, the service provided to other tables seemed much better, so I strongly believe we just had an unfortunate experience with our particular server, one j-o-b. Despite the service issues, the food and pleasant atmosphere made for an enjoyable overall experience. I'm not sure if I'd return, as customer service is everything, especially in the evening. On a practical note, parking is easy and plentiful, as the restaurant shares a large lot with Gelson's. read more

First things first. The Yelp ratings for this place are artificially high bc they bribe you with free dessert if you post a Yelp review. As such, I'm taking a star or two right off the top to balance things out. I dropped by for dinner. They do seem fairly popular. You need to have a party of 4 to get a table during prime time; otherwise, you're banished to the sushi bar. This isn't necessarily a bad thing. But just be aware. The quality of the fish itself was pretty good but not great. I had a Rancho Mirage sushi combo with spicy tuna and upgraded to blue fin ($48). I question whether I was actually served blue fin. If it was the real deal, it's the worst I've ever had. The quality of the fish on the nigiri was fine. In the ballpark of Whole Foods, I suppose (perhaps, a tad worse)? My nigiri consisted of shrimp, blue fin tuna, salmon, and some white fish. The spicy tuna was ok I guess. Not really spicy. And the fish was basically pureed. The California roll was nice enough. I do give them props for actually seasoning the rice on the rolls; they had a nice sesame flavor to them. Interestingly, there was no cucumber in the spicy tuna and California rolls. Just fish and avocado, so the texture was kinda samey/mushy. You also get a miso soup and salad with the combo. The dressing on the salad was nice. I guess this place is decent for the price which is why they seem to do good business. The servers are nice enough. The main guy seems to have a good rapport with a number of regulars. Oh, and while I routinely tip 20%, I do get a bit perturbed when the tip guide bases the 20% off the total rather than the subtotal. So again, just be aware. And with that, I'm knocking them down to 2 stars. read more

Joyce's Sushi - Rancho Mirage sushi combo with spicy tuna roll and upgraded to blue fin - Japanese Near Me - Rancho Mirage, California

Nice place, clean well lit, great buildout they've put 'money in the bricks' as they say. Service is on point. The menu is a bit overwhelming, and should pared down some.... IMHO. And like so many these days a lot of mayo is used, which I could happily live without The pricing is a little heavy handed, but not out of line. The important thing of course is the quality of the fish, which is very good, all be it a bit skimpy in the rolls. The miso soup too is very good, some of the best I've had. We sat at a table, but next time I'll give the bar a try. It wouldn't take much to bump it up to it a five star for me. read more

Rounded down from 3.5. Food aside, this place looks in disarray.
