Great food and service. The lunch special is a great deal. Highly recommended. Must try if you are in the area.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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. The lighting inside isn't nice, there are carts visible that are stocked with supplies, the ladies bathroom stall has a vacuum, extra chairs, etc. The food is solid, the service is friendly and timely...just don't expect to be in an aesthetically pleasing environment to enjoy your meal. read more

Great ambiance and the sushi was fresh. Service was quick and attentive. I would come here again next year before Coachella.

We tried to make a reservation for this place but were told they don't accept them. When we arrived the host was very rude trying to push us towards the bar and would not tell us the wait for a table insisting that it would be hours due to reservations (we thought they didn't take any?). I was a host at a fine dining restaurant for many years, looking around I saw plenty of finished tables and even empty tables. We sat at the bar and were not offered drinks for quite a bit. Felt like we were ignored. We got the uni, which was fantastic however when I tried to order the lower price one they coincidentally did not have it. We also got yellowtail which was okay. The tuna that we ordered for most of our food was terrible. It was chewy and very thick cuts. It did not taste fresh at all. My husband fishes quite frequently and we know fresh tuna, this was not it. The decor/merchandise was also very off putting. Bright lights in our eyes from the sushi bar while eating was not ideal. The purses and other merchandise was also very tacky, took away from our romantic date night. I personally would not come here again. read more

Radka was so sweet! She patiently answered our many questions and we were pleased with all of our choices! The dragon roll, the king roll and the Spanish roll were equally delicious and the fish was very fresh! And it all went well with the sake. The decor is cute and sometimes the food is delivered by a musical robot. read more

Joyce's Sushi is odd. It's a Chinese-run in-your-face Christian restaurant (Jesus on the kids menu, for example) that feels a little bit like a cheap casino (lots of kitsch for sale in the entryway, flashing color led lights, glowing badges on all waiters telling people to leave reviews, etc.). The food is mediocre -- crab salad has an odd flavor vs. better quality Japanese restaurants, rice on every piece falls apart, udon flavor was odd as well. Service was slow, 10 mins to get seated past our reservation time. Another 20 mins before they'd taken our food order (tough with a toddler). No water refills without asking. They only have such high ratings because they give away free things for reviews. Very sketchy. If not for that, this would be 2 stars. (-1 star for farming reviews). :-( read more
