Spiral Japanese Restaurant

There are plenty of parking spots outside and around this restaurant. We got to this restaurant around 2:30 and they close at 3:00. The friendly, kind waitress greeted and seated us right away. She told us that we can stay and enjoy our food even after they close.They have an extensive menu. We ordered the spiral ramen, curry pork cutlet, and the salmon, teriyaki chicken bento box. The waitress gave us complimentary edamame while we were waiting for our food, which we liked very much. Our food came out in a timely manner. The teriyaki chicken and salmon weren't dry. The teriyaki chicken was tender and juicy. The curry pork cutlet was tender and tasty. We really liked the potatos and carrots that were on top of the pork cutlet. The spiral ramen had chicken karaage, pork , egg, shrimp, fish cakes, bean sprouts, seaweed, and green onion. The pork and the broth were flavorful. They gave us generous portions and the prices are fairly reasonable. We really enjoyed the food and the service. We will definitely come back to try their other entrees.

I've been here a number of times and it's a decent place to grab a bite and usually not too busy. We came on a Saturday evening and found parking on the street a couple doors down from the restaurant. We were greeted upon entering and we mentioned our reservation at 6pm then were quickly seated. We specifically asked for water without ice but were given water with ice. The edamame was complimentary but was overly salted in my opinion. I'd prefer it without salt and have the option to add salt myself. One of the miso soups did not include any tofu but plenty of seaweed and green onions which was disappointing.We ordered the royal roll and this included blue fin toro, spicy tuna, avocado, ponzu sauce, and jalapeño, which added a nice kick to it. This was easily my favorite dish we ordered. We also had a coupon for a free deep fried salmon roll that was delicious.For entrees, I ordered the unagi beef bowl but received just the unagi bowl. They offered to remake it but since I was hungry and didn't want to wait, I decided to keep it. Although the dish itself was tasty, there was a lot of rice and only 3 pieces of broccoli. I wished there was a bit more unagi and broccoli for a more balanced proportion.The spiral bowl consisted of chicken karaage, BBQ pork, and prawn with udon. This was mediocre as the BBQ pork was still cold and the broth was too peppery for my liking. For this, we asked what vegetables are included because the picture on the menu showed some corn and the server confirmed there would be corn, but there was no corn to be found in the dish. We also ordered the bento box with 3 items - salmon teriyaki, chicken cutlet/katsu, and tempura (shrimp & vegetables); this was pretty good. The dishes were fine but nothing to write home about. I'd consider returning for the rolls during happy hour and to try some other dishes but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here.

Place has been around for years, menu has been updated since we last went more than a decade ago.Suggested items - California Roll, anything grilled, beef teriyaki, Ikayaki, etc... why? Nice grilled taste on the items that we ordered. Sushi is small but ok.

This place is fabulous, the sushi chef is talented and the staff are very nice. I recommend the Royal sushi roll. It is the one pictured in the bottom. It is torro with a jalepeno on top, and he must hit it with a blow torch because it has a bit of chargrill flavor. We also had the Lion King and Dragon rolls that we also amazing and pictured!! Go support this business it's freakin delicious!

This is definitely one of my favorite Japanese restaurants in the bay area. Their teriyaki sauce is savory with a hint of sweetness and the chicken is always cooked perfectly. You can't go wrong with mixed tempura and for the price, they give you a lot of shrimp, which is my favorite next to the broccoli. Give it a try, it's so worth it!

We ordered the bento box for lunch. 3 items bento box was big portion. But the dried noodles were bland. They've a big menu selection. We'll try other items next time. Restaurant was clean and service was good. Definitely will return.

I ordered mix tempura but all I got was 1 broccoli, 2 shrimps, 1 squash & 4 carrots, all covered with thick battered coating to make the tempura's look bigget. Very unhappy.

Went here for their HH which offers 40% off several items. Food was very mediocre and honestly, quite disappointing. The edamame (not pictured) was soggy and overly salty - tasted old. Nearly all the HH sushi rolls had a lot of rice and barely any filling - at most some artificial crab meat drenched in sauce. Squid was bland and rubbery, the worst was the sashimi - we got tuna sashimi and it came out bright pink. I've never seen a bright pink tuna sashimi before and thought they had added food coloring. It was very questionable but we didn't get any stomach issues after. The oysters were pretty good though, maybe the best thing we had. Service was very slow - they only had 1 sushi chef and 1 waitress. When the bill came they added tax onto the prediscounted price, not the subtotal after 40% off. Shady, but it is what it is. Even after 40% off I wouldn't pay the prices they charged. Won't be returning sadly.

Came here for lunch with some coworkers and was glad they could sit a large party on such a sort notice.The space isn't large and so we were sat in the back area by the bathrooms.I kept my order simple, bento box with salmon teriyaki and mixed tempura. The bento box automatically comes with miso soup to start and the salad is included in the box. The salmon teriyaki was good. I like how their teriyaki sauce is thick. The mixed tempura came with 2 prawns and mixed veggies. Which I liked because some places try to be skimpy with the prawns.Parking is limited to street.

I remember coming here for my mom's lunch break when I was little. It looks like the place hasn't changed much. I did notice that they were not as busy, and a lot of people were looking to go to the place next door. The place was decent. The lady who took my order was a little rude. They weren't busy yet she gave me that look, like I was bothering her. We ordered:1. Bento box - beef teriyaki and chicken katsu. It wasn't bad. It hit the spot for the beef teriyaki craving.2. Bento box - beef teriyaki, chicken karaage, and tempura. It was pretty basic at best. Overall, the place itself was ok, but a little pricey. I don't really see myself coming back here anytime soon. It didn't really stand out in a way that would make me want to come back or make it my new go-to spot.
