Cute little sushi restaurant in the melrose district. The interior is small and intimate but I heard that the back patio is great. Service was great and they really took care to make sure we enjoyed our meal. Food was decent. Short rib sushi was unfortunately dry but the gyoza and New York strip hot stone were both good. The little salad that came with the hot stone was one of the best things I ate.

Cute little spot. Drove over from north Tempe. Impressed with the cocktails and freshness

I really enjoyed Standish Sushi and Whiskey, the service was outstanding and the rolls amazingly fresh, and unique! They have a sunset menu that is a wonderful deal! We took advantage of the sunset menu, that's offered from from 4:30 to 6:30pm. We had old fashioned's, crab rolls, cucumber salad, tuna tataki tacos, and yellowtail sashimi. We also ordered from the dinner menu and had the venue roll and the ginger ceviche roll. Both incredible! Definitely recommend checking out Sandfish! I can't wait to go back

Okay, so this place, Sandfish, isn't getting the Yelp love it deserves, and I'm on a mission to fix that! My Yelp Elite buddies (yes, I have those ) told me a Yelp Elite Event was hosted there in Fall 2024, so naturally, I had to investigate. First off, Sandfish is in one of my favorite Phoenix neighborhoods, and it's gorgeous inside. The vibe is chef's kiss. We hit them up during happy hour (because, priorities!) and snagged two delicious appetizers for a steal, plus a couple of sushi rolls. Let me tell you, the gyoza was life-changing. Seriously, some of the best I've ever had. As for the sushi, I saw a picture on Yelp when I researched the resto that showed the server and asked I WANT THIS ONE!!! Turns out, "that" was a fantastic choice. Who needs a menu when you have photographic evidence, right? Now, Central Phoenix is a sushi battleground. I can rattle off four other sushi joints within a 10-minute drive that I frequent (two are crazy popular), but Sandfish has something special: a chill, semi-private outdoor patio! It's the perfect spot for some zen sushi time. I'm kicking myself because I didn't get any pics of it, but trust me, it's nice. I'll be back soon to capture its beauty. Consider this a sneak peek - Sandfish is definitely worth checking out! Return Factor: 100%

Can't wait to go back. I have loved Sandfish Sushi since it opened. Their drinks are well balanced and food is delicious. I also feel their staff is very knowledgeable and has always been able to make good recommendations. But now they have an AMAZING happy hour menu with so many choices and great prices!! Some of my favorites are the tuna tostadas, the sandfish sushi roll, and the sashimi. Oh, and the wallpaper in the bathroom is a fish print, so fitting

Went here for my friends birthday dinner and was able to try many dishes! To start out the restaurant is very well done, the back patio is gorgeous. The heaters in the ceiling , the wood paneling , the beautiful cactuses. The actual location could be better, very minimal parking. I also prefer a host stand at nice restaurants so i'm not just standing around until someone is free to help me. The highlights for me were the beef gyoza , blue crab zushi, the sandfish roll, and the experiment. The topping of the sandfish was incredible with the crispy potatoes, this is the roll Id recommend if only getting one. For drinks i'd recommend the Freya, it's a nice lychee vodka cocktail. Overall a great meal i'd go back for a date night or happy hour to try some more dishes!

First time trying this place on a Friday evening. Plenty of spaces on open table so we made a reservation just in case. Wasn't too necessary, but we went ahead and sat at the bar: it's a smaller sized restaurant but it is in no way a one hit wonder. The sushi here is amazing, it's a good medium between lower priced options such as sushiholic and higher priced options like Uchi. It's an inviting place to have some sushi and really good drinks and is not overly intimidating. The rolls were delicious and the fish was fresh tasting. We had a number of cocktails and each were well designed and made. I'm glad there's a place that emphasizes two things I love: sushi and whiskey. Would definitely come back again and again! A chill spot to enjoy it a nice spot for a relaxed celebration.

Having recently experienced Sandfish during a Yelp Elite event (thanks, Yelp!) I really wanted to share the restaurant with my family. We visited on a Sunday evening. Most patrons were seated in the covered patio behind the restaurant, which is a beautiful space with a two-way fireplace and built-in heaters in the ceiling. We ordered 2 Mocktails: Baltic Nights and Virgin Garden. Baltic nights is sweet, citrusy and delicious. Virgin Garden was much lighter in flavor...we preferred Baltic Nights. Food was excellent all around, as was the attentive service. We ordered a ton for 3 people: *Assorted tempura (very lightly battered, perfect!) *Spicy edamame (quite spicy!) *Pork gyoza (pan fried and delicate) *Broccolini & baby bok choy (the sauce from this dish is phenomenal. We kept the bowl u til the end of the meal, to dip other things into!) *Akami crudo (fresh and flavorful) *Nigiri platter (omakase style: my favorite of the evening!) *The Experiment (filling maki roll) *Blue butterfly (vegetarian maki roll with tofu and blue rice..so pretty!) Successful night. My family wants to return! :)

Wow this place is beautiful, the ambience is very beautiful...perfect for a date or small party. Drinks are unique and absolutely fabulous, they have a wide range of Japanese liquors. Sushi is high quality and carefully crafted by their sushi chefs. Staff is so sweet and the owner is awesome! I will back!

I came here for dinner with several people from work. I had heard that this place was rather pricey, so I was glad I didn't have to pay for the meal! When you get to the restaurant, parking is pretty tricky. There are only a few spaces out front, no lot in the back, and no valet. I ended up parking behind Copper Star Coffee (even though I probably wasn't supposed to, but what else was I supposed to do!) We sat out back, which was very nice. The inside of the restaurant looked small, but nice as well. We started off ordering drinks. I ordered this amazing cocktail that tasted like a spicy margarita with matcha in it. We ordered a few sushi rolls, some duck bao buns, the scallop and braised octopus appetizers. I also ordered a scallop hand roll. The service was great. All of the food was very good, but the one thing I noticed is that none of the flavors "popped" like they did with my cocktail. This is one thing I have appreciated about some other good sushi restaurants I have been to (they sometimes add a subtle hint of acid or a sauce that pairs well with the dishes).
