Spiral Japanese Restaurant — Restaurant in San Bruno

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 wasn't 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 I'm not gonna turn down extra food. The fried rice was pretty plain with just some chicken, eggs, and green onions in it. There wasn't any wok hei or anything interesting, but it's 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 wasn't 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. That's mostly my fault, though. Thinking back on it, I dunno why I thought crab was a good idea. At least it wasn't imitation crab meat.

I didn't try any sushi, but the ramen really wasn't the worst thing...

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 I've 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 isn't to far walking. For a smaller Sushi house it's 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...

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.

Sat us down at a wet dirty table where we have to ask for the table to be cleaned.

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 don't care about customer experience.

My sushi roll never came but we were charged for it. I didn't even bother complaining and just paid it. Who cares. I'm not coming back.

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...
