Joyce’s sushi Palm Springs

We came here for dinner last night and were seated immediately despite not having made reservation in advance since we were there early shortly after 5pm, but we saw that people without reservations had to wait shortly after as the restaurant had many tables reserved or already occupied. I ordered a dinner special while my friend ordered a sushi combination. They served us our miso soup and salad very quickly after they had taken our order, but my entree came fairly quickly while my friend’s didn’t come until I was almost halfway done with my entree. Service was good as the staff were quick to come whenever we needed something. The overall experience was good but the price was higher than that of many Japanese restaurants in San Francisco Bay Area.

We stopped by Joyce’s Sushi in Palm Springs without a reservation and were lucky enough to grab seats at the bar right by the kitchen. Watching the chef prepare each dish right in front of us made the experience even better. Everything felt fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and full of flavor. The atmosphere was welcoming and intimate, and the staff made us feel comfortable despite not having an appointment. If you enjoy great sushi and like seeing the craftsmanship behind it, sitting at the bar here is a must. We’d absolutely come back.

Joyce’s Sushi in Palm Springs is hands down one of the sweetest dining experiences I’ve had. The food was delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented, but what really made it unforgettable was the hospitality. The woman who helped us was an absolute angel. She could tell I’ve been a little stressed lately, and out of nowhere she brought gifts for my kids with little toys inside. Who does that anymore? It wasn’t just a meal, it was a moment of kindness that meant more than she probably realized. If you’re in Palm Springs and want great sushi and even better people, go to Joyce’s Sushi. They truly care about their customers, and it shows. Highly recommend.

Fresh sushi great place to grab a bite while exploring palm springs. Service was always near by. Food came out fast. Beers were cold! The restaurant was clean decorated nice. The bathroom did have pictures of food i found that a little odd lol.

I ordered the Moon River ($21), Danielle ($22), and Garlic Albacore rolls ($22). As well as a bottle of sake ($18). The Moon River roll was the best out of the three and the most affordable. The other two rolls were beyond boring. This place is highly overpriced. Their rolls don't help. There are better tasting and more affordable options in the area. The service was pretty exceptional though.
