Reviews for The Venue Sushi Bar & Sake Lounge in Palm Desert, CA

Ooooh this place is so cute! I got the sandwich roll because I saw the reviews on it. It was decent. My boyfriend got the Phili... tempura roll and I liked that way better. We sat outside and had a beautiful view and a cute touch lamp for the table. Next tothe heater and they had a blanket at the table. It was a great experience. Read more

The rolls may look pretty, but they are very bland, and hiding some very poor quality fish. The Nigiri reveals that the fish is... not fresh, and the rice is not cooked properly. This is the kind of place that leaves you feeling gross when you leave. Nevergoing back. Read more

Hard to find, but worth the effort. Food was good. Service excellent. Sat on patio which was quite pleasant. Prices were... similar to other sushi places. Read more

Great quality sushi rolls and nigiri, the "fish & chips" sounded interesting and I was looking forward to trying the Asian... seasoned fries and what came out was just plain fries with salt. Read more

The restaurant is cool it has a great atmosphere, the servers are among the most polite I've ever had, unfortunately the rolls... are not very good... And that's the only reason why I gave them 3 stars nice place best servers in the valley. They have otherdishes like carpaccio that are tasty, is an excellent place to gather and have some drinks but the sushi experience is averageat most. The prices are fair, the rolls are well priced but is just that they are at best similar to the ones sold at bristolfarms, except they are smaller. I had to change my review I went. On Saturday night and the carpaccio is just terrible tasting,I'm really sorry but the food quality is mediocre cannot even compare it to places like hamashi in cat city or even thejuggernaut that Misaki is. Terrible food great ambient. Read more

We drove 13 miles and we were disappointed. The sashimi plate $56 was very flat. There were 6 kinds of ingredients, 4 pieces of... each. Except for the salmon, everything else was bland. The shrimp was too unpalatable. It tasted like boiled shrimp. I wasdisappointed. Hand roll selected 3 kinds, $9 for each.California, spicy tuna, salmon skin, also very general. Sandfish roll $25,this one is delicious, 4 servings. There are only 2 waitresses, and she looks very busy. Every time you think about it for awhile, she will leave, and she will come back later. Very slow to get a glass, very slow to get another beer, very poor service,but we still leave 20% tip. Read more

Absolutely amazing!! 10/10! Must have the sandfish roll and the flor picante drink and the sake AND the salmon nigiri! Sooo... good! I need to go again! Read more

The Venue had most definitely the best sushi I have ever had in my entire life. Pictured below are the "Experiment" and the... "Venue Roll", and trust me, they taste better than they look. We also ordered the "Scandinavian Roll" which we ate too quicklyto snap a photo... The Venue is a tad bit on the pricey side, yet regardless of what you order, it will surely be worthit. Pro-tip: if you are looking for something to start off your meal, I would also recommend ordering a starter dish of chickengyoza. Read more
