    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.

    Jalapeño Bomb and Deep Fried Philly
    Andrea G.

    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.

    Blue Crab hand roll
    T P.

    EPIC!!! I've eaten here many many times. I keep forgetting to actually write a review. I usually default to sashimi here because everything is so good and fresh. I always get the fattest pieces of fish they have and they melt on your tongue like butter! If you don't get anything else though, make sure you get the blue crabhand roll! It is unbelievably rich and delicious

    My colleagues and I were in town for a conference and staying about a mile and a half from here. I…read moreran it and raved about the beef and crispy noodles and the calamari. On our journey to Palm Springs my team left the food choices to me since I'm picky. Lol. We showed up on a Wednesday night (note that they do not open Monday and Tuesday), around 4:40 PM. There was already a long line of individuals waiting to get in. There were about 15 people ahead of us. At opening, we were immediately sat down into the second dining room to the right of the restaurant. It gives a different vibe than the main room with its red bench seating and lantern ceiling. Although the benches were high, and the tables were a little low, we managed. Of course, we tried the complementary congee. Which I love, but my colleagues were not a big fan of. We ordered the calamari and the crispy beef noodle. We also ordered the shrimp and mango spring roll, the softshell crab and green papaya salad, and the pork belly lettuce wraps. The shining stars, for my colleagues were the calamari and crispy beef noodle. Followed by the shrimp and mango spring rolls and the softshell crab. The three of us did not enjoy the pork belly at all even though it came recommended. We actually only ate 2 pieces. The food overall was good although we wish we didn't get the pork or at least stuck to our goal of four main dishes. The waitress recommended we get one more and that's when we added the pork. Next time we will go with our gut instinct. One thing that was disappointing on this visit was that when we ordered drinks, one of them came out in a can. We were under the assumption it was a draft pour. For $14 it should have been noted that it is canned. The way that it is written into the menu no one would assume otherwise.

    Got in line 15 min before opening, and made it into the first wave of seating, albeit with the…read morerestaurant housing two spacious dining rooms, this isn't necessarily the flex one might think. Complimentary congee made for a comforting, home-y start to our Vietnamese fusion dinner, and our party of 2 followed with fresh rolls - we took our server's recommendation of LEMONGRASS PORK & DATE, CRISPY SHALLOT, RICE NOODLE, MIZUNA but weren't particularly impressed - and mains of PANKO CRUSTED CHICKEN STUFFED CURRY BALL, RED BELL PEPPER, BASIL (gluten free) and SHAKING BEEF, PICKLED RED ONION, GARLIC, CUCUMBER TOMATO SALAD, both of which we enjoyed much more. Wish there were dessert options!

The two-top table near the bar, with mustard-fabric lounge chairs on low spindled "moon-lander" inspired supports seem to have jumped right out of a 60's time machine, matching the retro vibe in the whole place. Our server was delightful, regaling us with her informative descriptions of her favorite dishes... it's fabulous when a server knows the menu so well that they can describe not only what's in the dish, but why it's so good. Cocktails were an obvious strength, and after my first choice, the pear-inspired Akita was regrettably "out of stock" (she informed us that they had run out of the fresh pear syrup they make by hand each day), I was steered to the It's Giving Julius. This boozy take on the classic Orange Julius, with a mouth-watering egg-white-textured foam floating on rum-infused a citrus blast. For Gayle, it was a moment to savor the non-alcoholic "Clutch Your Pearls," complete with boba pearls atop an icy lime-green concoction. The entire restaurant is themed on "American comfort food with an Asian twist." And let me say, they nailed it in every aspect. My bowl of Tteokbokk was a brilliant spin on a classic Rigatoni bowl, subbing Korean rice cakes for pasta and gochujang spiked tomato sauce for marinara, but keeping the rich parmesan/mozzerella cheese. At the server's suggestion, I topped it with fried pork belly, well executed and delicious, the entire bowl was light with an arrabiatta-like kick. My wife had the Garlic Noodles... imagine a creamy bowl of chicken noodle casserole straight out of the 60's, but without a can of Campbell's Cream of Chicken in sight. Velvety sauce glazed perfectly cooked Ramen noodles with vegetables and chicken... took her right back to her mother's kitchen where the same dish was the perfect remedy for the flu - comforting and scrumptuous without being too heavy. And finally having not overstuffed ourselves on this trip, we opted for the "poor life choice" of dessert. And after asking for the "simple plate of milk and cookies," the server corrected me and stated - rightly so - that this was anything but simple. Three stuffed cookies: Red Velvet with cheesecake cream, S'mores with marshmellow, and cinnamon filled Churro - nuggets from Heaven's bakery, with a glass of cold milk. We managed to finish it and roll on out full of some of the best food we've had this year. The only minor hiccup was when trying to buy merch on our way out, the front stand didn't have a terminal to let us pay, so we had to seek out a bartender to run our credit card (and they were super busy). A minor complaint in the grand scheme... get those hosts a card reader! Note: We didn't see a single dog in the place... but they clearly are welcome to 4-legged clientele. Such a fun spot.

The matcha latte was subpar and we wish we could've tried the oversized cinnamon roll with Ube cream cheese and matcha powder, but they're fresh baked and once they're gone - they're gone! I would say that this is a cute brunch spot for the aesthetic and vibes, but not the best for Asian fusion brunch.

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.
