Behind the success of Sandfish Sushi & Whiskey is owner Engin Onural, a passionate entrepreneur and sushi aficionado. With a deep appreciation for both Japanese cuisine and spirits, Engin set out to create a dining destination that would bring these two worlds together. His vision and dedication have transformed Sandfish into a must-visit spot for food and drink enthusiasts in Palm Springs.
Engin’s love for sushi began at a young age, growing up in Istanbul, Turkey. He later traveled to Japan to study the art of sushi-making, honing his skills under the guidance of renowned sushi masters.
