    This is a very nice sushi place. But, it is small Portions that are very expensive. Get ready to pay some big bucks at this place. Overall, the sushi was very clean and tasty, and extremely fresh. Overall, I would definitely go again.

    Service was good. Our primary server was excellent. Food service when a plate was brought from the kitchen was medium. Sometimes I felt guilty I hadn’t moved plates out of the way fast enough when the food came to the table.

    Wow what a restaurant! The server was super awesome and we got sat immediately upon arrival. The drinks were great! But the food to really talk about is the duck bao buns & the experiment roll. The buns were SO good, we would honestly go back just for these. And the experiment rolls were SO good too, our favorite roll out of the 4 we got! 100% would go back again.

    We were really looking forward to our 1st time here Our experience was very disappointing! We arrived about 10 minutes early for 6pm patio reservation. The host did not offer a greeting of any sort,did not smile,did not look up from her iPad or make any eye contact while she apparently,figured out where to seat us. No one else was waiting and the patio was not even half full. She brought us & menus to a table against one wall of the shipping continer. Still no eye contact. "This will be your table" she said. No "enjoy your dinner", no smile. Just very unwelcoming I had read about the shipping container and was expecting something funky & creative. It is not. It's simply a shipping container providing 3 walls to a wooden deck. The old, worn wooden tables could use some stain or tableclothes.There are lights strung overhead. the ony attemps at ambiance on the patio. We waited at least 15 minutes for water or a server to take a drink order,or look at us. We were ignored while other tables seated after us, received attention. Completely ignored!. Finally, I flagged down a waiter.He let us know that he was not our server, but took our drink and app order and got someone to bring water. After another few minutes our server, Kodi arrived, said sorry but that he didn't know we had been seated. We asked him to turn on a heater. He tried 2 different heaters & couldn't get them going. He went to get heater help. Noone returned. We had now been over 20 minutes, no drinks, no heater. Finally, I got up and asked another server if we could move to a table where the heater worked.She went to ask someone. We were moved by the manager, where the heaters were on. I told her about our experience.. She implied that the server should have known we were in his section. Either the host should have told him or he should have been checking. Apparently neither ocurred. Bottom line we did not feel welcome at Sandfish. With so many other dining options in PS, we will not be returning.

    Great food. Great service. One bathroom is absurd. There was a long line our entire dining experience which was weird.
