Joyce’s sushi Palm Springs — Restaurant in Palm Springs

Firstly, the staff was wonderful. Very warm and welcoming. The head chef also stopped by to welcome us. The restaurant was beautiful and menus impeccable. I would have loved seeing photos of the food on the menu though. The robots are a cute add but super annoying with the delivery music. Not to mention, who am I tipping? The robot or the waiter? Coin toss.

I wanted so badly to support a local small business in Palm Springs while visiting from Los Angeles. Most of our sushi experiences in general are pretty basic - to be fair - we have had our fair share of realllly good sushi and just okay sushi and this place sadly was just not appetizing.

Granted, I am pregnant so I can only order baked rolls but how can any establishment ruin a pretty basic item? Sadly, this one did. Ordered the shrimp tempura crunchy roll… the excessive amount of “crunchies” piled onto the 5 pieces of roll tasted stale and old. I couldn’t finish it. Also ordered a baked scallop roll that arrived really late. Late and not worth the wait. Why the scallops were chopped up made me think they threw in some other cheap ingredients to accompany it. Sadly, It just wasn’t tasty at all.

My husband ordered something else that also had those “crunchies” and he was also sadly disappointed.

I suppose the only thing that saved the meal was the salmon sashimi my son ordered - nice big cuts and displayed beautifully. But apparently made his tummy hurt though. Eeek. He was fine though.

My husband said “I feel like my wallet...

I've gone to their Rancho Mirage location with my parents and we love Joyce's Sushi there. Since this place just opened up, I had to check it out with my cousins.

As a party of 6, we were seated right away. I really liked how there were towelettes to cleanse our hands before eating. And on the back of one of the paper menus there was a coloring section for my nephew to draw on. Service was very quick and friendly.

I ordered the Deep Fried California Roll. I was very impressed at the food presentation, not only for my food but for the rest of the food ordered. Each entree was plated on beautiful ceramics. My roll was topped with microgreens and a pretty magenta flower. It also tasted fantastic. I loved the crisp on the outside of the roll and how fresh it tasted.

We had people that came over to our table to deliver food and there was even a robot server too! I loved seeing that robot roll over to other tables, it was so cute. Our server always came by to check up on us and get what we needed.

We had such a wonderful time. I've had nothing but great experiences with Joyce's Sushi with my family so it's no surprise that it was the same this time. Though the prices are a little expensive, I feel that Joyce's Sushi delivers with quality and the overall experience. This place is worth...

I really wanted to love this place, but the quality of food was just not great. Just like their other location, the rolls are completely oversized, and quantity doesn't equal quality. The $25 salmon/salmon roe special fell apart because the cuts are too thick and too big. I thought getting the steamed dumplings was a safe choice, but they really didn't taste good either. The pricing is way off, way too expensive for what it is. Also, why force us to get 7 pieces of sashimi if we don't want rice? Why not offer a 2 or 3 piece price? And the Bible quotes on the menu? What does that have to do with sushi? Very offputting as a rationalist person who doesn't believe in leaps of faith. Very unsatisfied, not giving this place...
