This is a delicious and authentic Japanese restaurant, which has been open for many years. They serve shushi. Lamian Noodles, barbecue, dessert and so on. The restaurant is clean, the waiters are enthusiastic and the business is skilled and fast. It takes us about twenty minutes from ordering to serving. Our consumption plus tips is around $30 per capita. Well arrive around six oclock. There arent many guests, so we dont have to wait. Great! A restaurant worth recommending.

First visit since pandemic... We got 5 rolls take out for a family of 4: Dragon, Scorpion, Regal, Rainbow, 49er. All the rolls were pretty good. My son ordered the most expensive roll on the menu, Regal, but it came topped with uni and it was really good. I also appreciated that the Dragon and Scorpion rolls were still crunchy by the time I got home. Also they were generous with the soy sauce, Wasabi and ginger. Overall, Id come back again.

I’ve been coming here for nearly 10 years and it’s always been alright but after the most recent experience I felt compelled to write a review calling out the extremely rude main waitress/ cashier lady. Other reviews make reference to her as well, it’s unfortunate this person is souring Spiral’s reputation. She assumed my order was made online and proceeded to act like a rude B when I asked how much longer my order would be. In the end it was sitting there on the table the entire time turning into nasty warm raw fish but she couldn’t be bothered with actually checking the name on the order.

I went here many times because the foods are delicious. This time because of covid you can dine in but not many people do that, many only order for pick up. They have 2 items for 13.99 or 3 items for 15.99

Fish is fresh! Miso and Edamame are $3. Desserts starts at that price too. Prices are very reasonable and service is great. I would recommend this place. If your looking for affordable Japanese restaurant with fresh fish, and reasonably priced food.

Delicious!!!! Excellent service and pretty dishes. I love the oysters and sashimi. They are fresh and tasty. The fried rice with eel and my favor! Go and try. You won’t be disappointed.

We ordered three bowls of ramen. They were fine, but nothing to get excited about. The service was also fine, but nothing over the top. Mediocre across the board. Bummer since its such a convenient location.

Wife been coming here for a little while since recommend by her friends & our daughter, had a friend of mine also love Spirals & spoke highly of them for their daily fresh fish.Wife & I stopped in last night so this was my 1st time experience.Very friendly staff, food was very good & fresh, prices were very reasonable (actually very good from a couple other sushi places Ive been) & the food/serviing amounts were what impressed me !!Usually I find myself stopping by Taco Bell on the way home lol (seriously I do), but Spirals filled me up to the top !I was impressed with quality & taste of food as we ordered a Bento box with 3 items & I had a happy full tummy - No Taco Bell after !Parking is mostly on street or nearby parking lot which isnt to far walking.For a smaller Sushi house its fantastic !!6 Sushi rolls for Spirals ( & I only use a 1 - 5 Star normally ) & They have $1 Sushi deals too.All in all I am highly impressed with Spirals & will be returning as they are replacing my previous Sushi places now.

Was actually going to go to another sushi place nearby, but we waited like 5 minutes to be seated, with no indication it would happen soon (there were plenty of empty tables -- we were just ignored for some reason), so went to Spiral, just two doors down. The sushi was great, the service exceptional, the prices reasonable, and the Covid compliance perfect. Also, the sushi came out really quickly, compared to other places weve been. Highly recommend!

Three starts because we love the food, but the waitress ( lady) is very RUDE!! The day we came to eat indoor, she took our order with such an actitud, we ask for silverware since idk how to use chopsticks and she got mad because we asked! then she never came and check on us if we needed anything and just came back to deliver the bill.. which sucks because at the end of the day we’re paying for service and expect good customer service. I feel the waitress should have some training and be a little nicer to costumer

Open for seating inside. Not many customers on mothers day. Good food. A little pricy. About $14 to $17 per bento box. Hot tea is extra charge but water is free. No longer provide free snack or bonus sushi. Sushi is minimum $13 per roll. Servers are new. They should be better trained for customer service.

Update, new management, dine in gets a free three appetizer starter! Friendly welcome from Victoria. Old team is gone and replaced by new management or family. Sushi chef is the same. The appetizer is good and we ordered a curry rice plate, three item bento box and two item bento box. Prices are higher but reflect better quality and taste with service. Noise problem is still there. With current management, we will be back with a group tryout.SUCKS, noisy, terrible for 6+ person groups, food at San Bruno is consistent. Service ignores you until bill time. Probably will not return except to use free roll coupon. Prices keep increasing with quality and service is same or lower.

Loved the Tonkatsu Benito box! My boyfriend ordered the Chicken Kare, the portion was huge, he gave it a 3.5 stars. My mom ordered the Grilled Salmon Benito box - her long time favorite, always a 5-star.Service was Ok; the staff knows what theyre doing but not as friendly. Place was clean. Parking around peak hours is somewhat aggravating.All in all, Id give them 3.5 stars.Well come back and try other things on the menu.

I had the 12piece variety nice selection all were excellent, bento box with teriyaki beef and CA roll teriyaki was great should have had the tempura instead of the roll but the roll was good. The 4 four oysters were outstanding I will be back for two or three orders

I personally would not go back, but its got a great menu. The one thing that upset me was paying the bill. I was going to tip with cash, but when I paid with a card and had already signed it the server brings it back and tells me to add the tip to the check. Thats just my experience there. Hopefully everyone else can still enjoy the menu items.

Typical Chinese fake sushi. The quality is not much better than the buffet Moonstar in Daly City. You can order in Chinese. That is not what earned it a star review. Here is my experience. Came here on Sunday 8/18 at noon.1. Sat us down at a wet dirty table where we have to ask for the table to be cleaned.2. The backs of the chairs are right next to the person behind you. Expect a lot bumps while eating your meal. I felt like I was at a chinese wedding banquet where they seat 10 people to a tiny little table. They dont care about customer experience.3. My sushi roll never came but we were charged for it. I didnt even bother complaining and just paid it. Who cares. Im not coming back.4. The quality is, lets say, edible. Nothing good. Fish and meats are all frozen and I can taste it.This place is shady and ran by imbeciles.

Ordered on doordash. Beef tongue is great. Uni is great. Chicken yakitori is good. Ramen is a bit pricy, it is just an instant noodles bowl.

I was introduced to Spiral 17 years ago. My first meal was the chasiu ramen with a side bowl of fried rice. It may not do anything for ramen foodies but I like their ramen. Nice folks, very attentive and helpful packing leftovers for later.

Ramen doesn’t tastes Delicious. It tastes like if you would want to get energy. I’d not recommend this place for Delicious ramen.

When I walked in, the first thing I heard was the waitresses yelling at each other in Chinese. I immediately began to think that lunch was gonna be a disaster, but in all honesty, it really wasnt bad.They had a white board with specials, and I ordered the Kani (Crab) Ramen. Apparently, all the noodle dishes come with a bowl of fried rice. That was kinda weird, but Im not gonna turn down extra food. The fried rice was pretty plain with just some chicken, eggs, and green onions in it. There wasnt any wok hei or anything interesting, but its edible.The ramen was actually better than I expected. The first thing I noticed was my egg. I have no idea what happened, but it was some sort of freaky mutant egg. The yolk was out of place and was nudged into the upper tip. It was overcooked but looked kinda cool actually.I think they said the broth was a sparerib soup base. It wasnt as rich or creamy as real tonkotsu broth, but I liked that it was salty enough. The noodles were firm, but the crab (I think it was snow crab) got a little overwhelmed by the heavy ramen. Thats mostly my fault, though. Thinking back on it, I dunno why I thought crab was a good idea. At least it wasnt imitation crab meat.I didnt try any sushi, but the ramen really wasnt the worst thing in the world.
