    This is a new level of sushi! Their signature rolls are a must try. We had the venue roll and although it’s listed as spicy, it was insignificantly but it was wickedly scrumptious. We also had their tuna tataki tacos as an appetizer which were aggressively yummy! And also tried the broccolini and baby bok choy which based on the serving should be a side dish or an appetizer. The portion should not be listed as a signature dish. The only disappointment was the customer service. I understand we can all have our days which is why I would go back, for the mouth watering sushi and to give customer service a second chance.

    An Unforgettable Dining Experience! Sandfish Sushi is hands down one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. From the moment we sat down, the ambiance was welcoming and sophisticated. Instead of choosing from the menu, we decided to let the chef take the lead—and wow, what a decision that was! Every dish was a masterpiece, carefully crafted with the freshest ingredients and incredible attention to detail. The chef’s selections took us on a culinary journey, introducing us to flavors and combinations we never would’ve thought to try. Each bite was a delightful surprise, and you could taste the passion and creativity behind every plate. The service was impeccable, with the staff making us feel like VIPs the entire evening. If you’re looking for more than just a meal, but an experience, Sandfish Sushi is it. I can’t recommend it enough and will definitely be coming back soon!

    We had probably the best experience we have had at any restaurant in a very long time. The executive chef came out and chatted with us before we ordered and was so genuine in wanting the best for each customer. He recommended a few things and of course they were amazing. The back patio had the most amazing ambiance with the fire/heat lamps and blankets if you needed them. I wish I was not from Ohio or I would make this one of my regular spots.

    Sandfish is one of the best restaurants I've ever visited. Everything we had was outstanding. The Executive Chef came out to the patio often to converse with all the guests. And after we finished our salmon crudo and told him we loved it, he sent us a tuna crudo (which was even better) on the house. My new favorite restaurant, we will be back!

    This chef own restaurant offers a delicious variety of sushis and sashimis, fresh, and with delicate sauces that create a well balanced flavors. The sushi rice was cooked to perfection, which allowed to eat you nigiri without making a mess. I definitely recommend this restaurant.
