Ponzu Japanese Sushi Bar

My girlfriend and I came here on a Friday night around 9PM for some sushi and let me tell you this place doesn't disappoint. We came around 8:30PM there was a reservation slot for 9PM but we didn't want to wait so we decided to take the chance and go in. We didn't have to wait. We started with some poke nacho, they were good, but not the star of the show. We also ordered some sashimi and the cuts were thick and taste delicious 😋. However, these were still not the star of the show. The true star was their black cod sushi(black dish). I had my doubts at first when my gf ordered it but when it came out and I had one of the 2pcs serving and my tastebud exploded. So we ended up ordering 2 more orders. Ponzu is great place for a nice date night I approved👍. Services was fast and very attentive. I enjoy the fresh wasabi that they serve with their sashimi and when I asked for more they brought out way more than what's originally was served, this place doesn't skim.

This place is sooo delicious! We come here every other week. We’ve tried other places, but this place is sooo delicious flavorful and fresh! Highly recommend it! Make your reservations, sometimes it is a wait to be seated. They have indoor and outdoor. If you look at prices, then just go get a California roll at Vons.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and friendly service. The wait staff was attentive, professional, and made sure our dining experience was smooth from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious!! Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can really tell that care and quality go into every plate. Our meals came out at just the right pace, and everything tasted even better than we expected. The atmosphere was equally impressive. The restaurant had a cozy yet vibrant feel, perfect for both casual dining and special occasions. It’s the kind of place where you can relax, enjoy great food, and feel genuinely welcomed. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. Great food, wonderful staff, and an inviting atmosphere. We’ll definitely be coming back again soon!

I absolutely love ponzu, it’s my go to sushi spot. Ponzu ruined other sushi restaurants for me, their quality and freshness is unmatched. I’ve been to high end sushi spots like Catch and Nobu and ponzu is definitely in my top 2.

If you find yourself in Palm Springs and craving a sushi experience that’s both vibrant and top-notch, look no further than Ponzu Sushi. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by Paul at the entrance, who made us feel right at home. He was incredibly friendly and set the tone for the evening. Our server, Anna, was hands down the highlight of the dining experience. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and always there when we needed her. Her excellent service really enhanced the meal, making it feel personal and special. The ambiance at Ponzu is modern chic, with an energetic vibe that perfectly matches the lively energy of Palm Springs.
