Sandfish Sushi & Whiskey, Phoenix

"Nestled in the vibrant Melrose neighborhood at 7th Avenue and Indian School Road, Sandfish Sushi and Whiskey beckons with an enticing array of dishes starting at just $6, alongside daily happy hour delights from 4:30 to 6:30. Our journey commenced with an exploration of their Old Fashioned offerings, featuring the classic, the house original, and the Nagano—all expertly balanced and impeccably presented. For sustenance, we indulged in the Makimono Salmon and Albacore, Salmon Tartare, culminating in the show-stopping Venue Roll. Comprising spicy tuna, salmon, and tobiko, this masterpiece—featuring spicy tuna, cucumber, gobo, topped with seared salmon, spicy aioli, teriyaki sauce, microgreens, and tobiko—unveiled flavors that harmonized like a symphony. While the wait for the Venue Roll took awhile, its arrival underscored the adage that good things come to those who wait—a sentiment that perfectly encapsulates Sandfish's commitment to delivering an exceptional sushi and whiskey experience. Without a doubt, Sandfish Sushi and Whiskey stands as a solid choice for aficionados seeking a memorable culinary excursion."

"Haters gonna hate, but this is the best place for a date. Phenomenal food. Got it to go for corn hole across the street. I’ll be back to enjoy the experience. Best sushi around"

"Great experience, Alexandria was a great server and provided awesome suggestions without being pushy. Other than not having the matcha creme puffs, everything was perfect. We will definitely be back."

"They add a special touch of class with the way they present their drinks to their signature dishes. Even though they have caviar on their menu, their prices are perfect for the quality of their service and menu. Thanks for a special anniversary dinner."

"For a celebration night, this place hidden gem. I recommend the Scandinavian and the Venue Roll...both were excellent. The Pork Belly Bao Buns are...well it's pork belly...so obviously it's delicious. The scallops were paired with walnuts which seemed to overpower the delicate taste of scallops. The Lollipop roll was our final dish and the coolness in temperature made it almost feel like a welcome desert. Try a signature drink, order only 2 dishes at a time in order to pace yourself, and lastly, don't be in a hurry. It's a great place. We'll be back."
