Amazing food and ambience all around! Their Spanish Octopus was splendid! The cocktails, and even their mocktails, were delicious! The staff were friendly and polite! Definitely look forward to returning!

Rough night for them. Maybe a one time issue but service was extremely slow and orders were forgotten. The fish was really fresh and tasted good but some of the cuts were bad. Toro was fresh but they cut into the non meat part of the fish trying to get more volume. It was hard to eat. Waiters were nice but the food took a long time.

The food was so tasty and fresh! The New York strip was cool how you can cook it to your liking on a hot stone! We sat outside and the back patio has a great atmosphere. It was warm with the heaters and fireplace. Drinks were also great. We want to come back to try more of the menu! Definitely make a resy because it gets busy!

I was disappointed with the service. They brought my wife’s main meal first, and I had to wait 40 minutes for mine. While the food was okay, it certainly wasn’t great, and the delay was super-frustrating.

We have been going to Sandfish for 3 years and this time the value just wasnt there! The Happy Hour menu was weak and disappointing. The size of the rolls were much smaller than in the past and pricing HIGH!

Hidden gem in heart of Phoenix. Amazing food and service. Relaxed atmosphere. Our server Katie was very attentive. Yellowtail, Octopus were one of the best we've had. Food is on par with Nobu, Roka and Uchi with prices 30% less Bartender is excellent and they have a great collection of whiskey. Our new go to place for Japanese food.

This was a great new find for us. Tried. Arrange if things from sashimi to steak to cocktails and everything was great. Very pleasant decor and great service. I’m not at all a whiskey fan so I did not try any of that. Still had a great experience so don’t let the “whisky forward” presentation deter you. :)
