We ate here with my daughter who was recently diagnosed with celiac disease…read more I had heard that they had gluten free options, and were careful about cross-contamination, but I was blown away by how helpful our server was with making sure my daughter's meal was safe. She right away inquired whether it had to be "celiac safe", and made sure that all of our dishes were labeled "celiac safe" for the kitchen, and helped us make substitutions for the items that couldn't be gluten free. This was our first experience eating out since the diagnosis, and I was nervous about how it would go, but Sushi Spot (and our very kind/helpful server) made this experience easy, and we are reassured that we won't have to completely give up eating out. Still waiting to see if other restaurants offer the same care for celiac diners. Until then, Sushi Spot will be our place to go!

The service was very friendly and attentive. It couldn't have been better. The ambience was also…read moreenjoyable. My kid really loved the aquariums, and he ate the egg part of his tamago sushi, which is what we expect. I only had a couple of grumbles about the food. One of my pieces of hamachi was torn and didn't look great. That's a minor gripe about presentation. The main issue was the rice. It was bland and more or less plain. Sushi rice should have some sweetness and a little tang. After all, it's meant to recreate the fermented rice from the old days before chefs learned how to make rice taste similar without taking so much time... Sushi is probably 90% about the rice and maybe 10% is the rest of what's on it. It is the main thing, really. It should not be bland. Also, their chefs had trouble forming the rice neatly, which is a skill issue. This was prepared in the back and might yield different results at the bar. For me, the real star (food-wise) was the plain sunomono. The cucumber was fresh and crispy and topped with thinly shredded carrot for a touch of color. I have eaten at many wonderful sushi spots since the 1980s when you had to order in Japanese because the only sushi chefs around in the U.S. were Japanese immigrants. This was one of the best sunomono I've had anywhere.

I'm hoping this helps another vegan out there, or anyone really. We came in for an early ish dinner. At the time it was pretty mellow but that was appreciated because we just needed to relax and enjoy sitting down after hiking the last few days. Something fresh and not too rich where we could take out time and not feel gross. I was curious about the soul options being vegan or not because miso usually isn't, but they had this yummy sounding mushroom and veggie broth soup with vegetables and tofu (I think it's called Kenshin jiru but I might be absolutely butchering that). GET IT! It's not too heavy but has such a great flavor, plus the fresh veggies and bits of raw tofu for protein (they accidentally forgot the tofu but when I asked my server if they could just bring it on the side for me they were super nice about it). I also got some standard edamame and avocado maki roll, both of these were "fine", they did the trick but weren't amazing. My partner had the large hot sake which he loved, and then a tuna maki roll and the omakase nigiri. Same thing with his maki, fine nothing to write home about, but he loooved his omakase. They didn't tell us what was on it but I think it was albacore, salmon, salmon roe, mackerel, yellowtail, and tuna. He said it was some of the best tasting fish/nigiri he's had in a while. Our server was great at refilling our waters and checking in making sure we had everything and was just very sweet, so we appreciated them a lot. We'd definitely recommend!

The workers are all very kind and knowledgeable. They are able to make accommodation or alterations as necessary. Despite that, the food in general leaves more to be desired. The fish is definitely high quality! But perhaps the rice should be a bit more fluffy, and more flavorful. The batter on the tempura was a bit too thick and ultimately caused it to not be cooked all the way. I think the sauces can also be better prepared-- they taste a bit prepackaged and not really homemade. I'd be willing to come again and not order rolls but instead focus on the nigiri or the chirashi bowl.

The rest of the dishes are always fresh and well-prepared, and the staff is warm and attentive without being intrusive. Whether I'm grabbing a quick bite or having a longer meal with family, the experience is reliably smooth and enjoyable. A dependable, welcoming spot with great food.

We ordered the teriyaki chicken, and when it arrived, the center of the meat was literally cold--as if pre-cooked, frozen chicken had been quickly tossed in a microwave without being thawed or heated through. When we alerted our server, they took the plate back to reheat it, but returned it barely lukewarm. Reheating poultry without ensuring it reaches a safe internal temperature is a major food safety hazard. While management did refund the individual entree, the experience ruined the rest of our meal. A commercial kitchen shouldn't be serving underheated, potentially unsafe chicken in the first place, nor returning it cold a second time. We will not be returning and urge management to address their kitchen's thermal food safety practices.
