I always thought this little spot was a fast food place! I was wrong and it's actually quite a large restaurant. Very good sushi rolls and OK service. The wait staff seemed very young and busy balancing the heavy workload as best they could, but the flavors of the food more than made up for the delays! I would def go again read more

I used to really enjoy coming here since it's so close to where I live. I would stop by once, sometimes twice a month. Unfortunately, my last two visits have been really disappointing, and it feels like things have gone downhill. Most recently with my last visit, the service was extremely slow. I watched food sit at the pass and saw my own order sitting on the sushi counter for over 20 minutes before anyone brought it out. At one point for the second round, I actually timed how long it took from when the server picked up our order slip to when food actually started arriving it was around 40 minutes before the first items started to came out. The visit before that wasn't much better. It also took a long time despite the restaurant not being busy, and the fish quality seemed noticeably off. I usually love the unagi and salmon here, but that day the unagi was cold, rubbery, and had an off-putting taste. The salmon tasted like it had been sitting in the fridge for a few days and was close to going bad. At this point, I can't recommend coming back, which is disappointing because this used to be one of my go-to spots in Rancho :( read more

I have been considering trying this place for months and one afternoon recently, my spouse and I decided to try it out. I was super excited until we sat at the table and put in our drink order. The waitress asked us if we were doing AYCE and we said yes. She sat down the AYCE slips for us to fill in and told us there is mandatory 20% gratuity added to all AYCE tables. Then on the top in tiny letters on the ayce menu was a hand written note about charging an auto 20% gratuity on all AYCE bills. Very frustrating that this wasn't mentioned on the website, Google, ect but okay. We were a party of two. I understand a large party charge but really? I always tip 20%+ but being charged auto gratuity and then being expected to tip on top of that is crazy. Ayce for two people was 95$ and we had drinks. The auto 20% was on the entire 110$ bill, not even just the AYCE. So we paid 22$ in auto grat and then they wanted a tip on top of that. So we were supposed to essentially tip over 40$. I understand times are tough. I understand that the cost of everything is going up. However I do not think it's right for employers to push off the cost of their wait staff's salary onto us consumers or for them to expect us to subsidize their food costs ect. Does the 20% auto grat even go to the staff there?? Terrible and offensive business practice. This is the first time I've ever left a restaurant without tipping but I cannot justify 40$+ on top of a 110$ bill. Charging your customers that is a grossly out of touch business practice. read more

Honestly, it's more like 3.5/5. The fish itself is not bad in any way, in fact it was on the better end imo. However, the rice to fish ratio is not great at all. They use a lot of rice for their nigiri, so I was pretty full by the end of round 1. The rice was good, but after a while it does feel overly sweet because it's so much. The Cajun salmon delight and Cajun salmon nigiri were the highlights for me. I like that they didn't overdo it for the Cajun seasoning. I like that they offer scallop as well, but honestly it felt like the amount of rice overpowered the scallop flavor which was a bummer as that's my usual fave. Service was okay. They were friendly, but that's about all I can say. Our server never really checked in on us and only asked about water refills towards the end of our meal when we asked for our check. My bf and I came in around 2 on a Sunday and it wasn't packed at all. We got seated quick, which was nice. The inside is pretty dark, but not enough where you couldn't see. Coming out to the sun did feel a bit disorienting though lol. Overall, it's not a bad spot as the price was fair at $37.95/person for AYCE. If you like a lot of rice, sure. But I personally wouldn't come back unless it was the only place left. read more

Sushi One Spot - Our spread - Japanese Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

This place has been a go to for good reason. The restaurant is always packed,but worth the wait; friendly service and bottomless fountain drinks,are just the start. Sushi is why you're reading this review, now let me be honest this is not a Michelle Restaurant but great food. The all you can eat menu is one of the biggest I've seen period, nothing seems to be off the menu;limited to (3) rounds, but assuming as much as you can eat. Try not to over do it in round one come with time to eat and enjoy the menu with friends and family. The light is nice and low and family is always welcomed. A lot of first dates. read more

Just left this place & this had to be the worst sushi I've ever had... Ordered nigiri for the AYCE & the rice was mushy slimy while the fish had a fishy scent/taste while also having a dirty water taste to it. It just wasn't good at all that I ended up ordering a spider roll as a safer option. It was not.. again the rice was mushy & slimy while the fried crab wasn't freshly fried, you can tell it was old by having a stale bite to it & it being cold. Only thing I'd ever feel safe eating is the miso soup. I ate a ton of ginger to disguise the taste but that didn't even help. As soon as I left this place, my son & I had horrible stomach aches & spent time in the bathroom back to back. I sadly don't recommend this place. My boys didn't even like the California roll because the rice seemed expired. Avoid read more

I had high hopes for this place, but unfortunately my experience was just okay. The service took a very long time, and the sushi itself wasn't very impressive. The menu also felt limited, with many items repeating similar ingredients and flavors. I wouldn't say it was bad, but it didn't really stand out or feel worth the wait. I went on a Saturday night, there was not wait. There was plenty of seating. read more

I'm a sushi addict and this place was straight garbage. Fish tasted old, rice was dry and falling apart, and everything was drowned in sauce to hide the low quality. Nothing was fresh, balanced, or worth the price. Service was slow and careless, like they're used to complaints. Rancho Cucamonga has way better sushi do yourself a favor and skip this spot. read more

Food is very good, very well priced, staff was very friendly, it's a little dark inside but it's a nice vibe. They had a love island night and I appreciate that as the consumer it shows that you're really catering to your audience . read more

First time here, we walked in at lunch time and were sat promptly. Ordered a spicy California roll and a chicken teriyaki bowl. It was decently priced and good food. My son enjoyed the California roll. The interior was dark but light enough to see the menu. Our food came out quickly after ordering. When we are back out here we may stop by again for some sushi. read more

Love coming here. A typical roll generally cost ~14 bucks, so a few rolls will already cost you upwards. Here, AYCE is so worth it! Their specialty rolls, baked green mussels always deliver. This is a perfect date night ambience and even fun for birthday celebrations. read more

Food was not great. I've been going out to try a sushi place per week, including ones that I've been to long before. I was at Sushi One Spot on their grand opening oh so many years ago. The quality is not what it was. Service - Great for me. Server was attentive and food came out quickly. However, I had arrived at the tail end of lunch. The restaurant quickly filled with dinner guests and I noticed that the patrons next to me had already been waiting 20+ minutes without a single first dish. Quality of the food - Not great. Albacore was mushy and "fishy" so I'm not sure how long since thawing, or been refrozen since receiving. Regardless, that was not great. The "protein roll" is on the "no rice" menu, and the only item I ordered from there. It's 95% imitation crab, which is very deceptive from the picture. Not great quality either. Salmon was fine but probably one of their most popular dishes so constantly new stock. Texture, smell, and taste were fine. Miso soup was very sad. It did have a nice portion of seaweed and scallions but there was barely ANY miso paste, and unsure if they add Bonito. Handrolls - these are one of my favorite things to get at restaurants because it can tell you a lot about the quality. Typically, I'd expect a handroll to have the leftover cuts, such as what would be considered "poke," the pieces that aren't a full piece of sashimi. However, it seems that they add more leftovers than that, and the albacore was especially unacceptable. Here, it seems to be macerated, acid washed to prevent you from knowing it's not fresh anymore. Very acidic and a bit citrusy. Handrolls are meant to use scraps and leftovers from sashimi blocks, but you should be able to tell what type of fish it is. The yellowtail and albacore looked identical side by side and the runner who dropped them off was unable to tell me which was which, red flag. Surprisingly, my server did not seem surprised that it wasn't great and told me she wasn't going to charge me before I asked. I wonder if the staff eats here... I unfortunately did feel sick shortly after and lost my lunch. This has never happened before, and I have a feeling they might not be storing or prepping at least one of the ingredients correctly. Now the soy sauce - it's not Kikkoman green. I brought in some Kikkoman from my bag and compared it. It tastes sweet here, maybe rancid, and definitely not as salty. It feels like they don't clean the dispenser, add mirin or sugar, or dilute with water. I have a feeling it's continuing to ferment in the containers and is diluted. Unfortunately, it's hard to find good AYCE places in San Bernardino area especially Rancho. I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt, and the available restaurants open in the area for the lunch to dinner transition are indeed limited. I would recommend to steer clear. 1 star food. 3-4 stars lunch service. 2/5 overall. read more

Decided to come here for my birthday dinner. And My family and I were disappointed. Apparently, the management has changed since the last time I was here about two weeks ago. I was excited to come here for my birthday because I've been craving sushi. Upon arrival we were greeted by our server, who was super sweet and very helpful throughout the night when helping us. When we got our food, I noticed the quality has changed a lot. Me and my dad ordered Ayce. the Nigri sushi rice to fish ratio has changed. The cut of fish is very thin, therefore making it more rice and less fish. The raw shrimp nigiri didn't look like it is supposed to normally look. The shrimp is supposed to be a pale to white color, and it looks kind of dark, maybe they put too much sauce on top? The only thing I really enjoyed was the John roll. There has been an improvement in their tempura, as the tempura before was very oily, and the shrimp tempura that we ordered was very tasty and not as oily. The restaurant was pretty empty with a few people there. The reason I gave such a low rating was because one of the female servers that night had very poor customer service skills. When she came to our table to get our empty plates, She told my mom she was going to charge her for Ayce because she said she saw my mom pick one piece of Nigri from our plate. And we had a few pieces of rice from the Nigri on the plate and she said that she was going to charge us because we had leftover rice. I understand where she is coming from, she was just doing her job but the way she approached the situation and the way she said it was poor customer service skills, and that is something that needs to be worked on. For the many years we have been going to this restaurant they have lost us as customers. read more

Food are not expected. Fresh water eel limited order is very dry, they aren't fresh taste. All the sushi has big portions of rice. Not recommended read more

AYCe to go option prices keeps gradually increasing. Still not too bad of a deal. $38.95 (pre tax) for $70 (including tax) worth of food. That was where there was a bit of a confusion as I didn't see this posted online before that the "worth of food cost" was not pre tax calculations. Glad they finally have a sign up to better explain to their patrons. Photos are of 13 rolls for the price of $126. Plenty left for a second meal for our family to enjoy. read more

The all you can eat is hands down the best in Rancho. Food is always fresh and the place is busy which is a must in a sushi restaurant so keep the fish turned over. Great consistent place and good price for AYCE. read more

Let me start by saying this, It was my first time here and my last time. They say that Sushi is all about the rice. This rice was cold, old and hard. The cucumber on the cucumber salad was supper bitter i sent it back. The Tuna was dry, old and supper red that's when you know its been sitting there for days in the freezer. And the Salmon was also dry and had lots of white stuff in it. The service was average. The place is cool but just a little bit too dark. So save your palate and your money so you won't be disappointed like i was. read more

My best friend and I really like Sushi One Spot. We could probably be considered regulars here. We definitely like the fact that they offer an AYCE option. The nice part about that is they actually let you order half rolls from the menu, allowing you to try more items before you get too full. The staff is friendly and they keep things moving at a nice pace through dinner. They also do some fun things when it's your birthday or you're celebrating, with music and flashing lights. It's a whole vibe! Like most sushi places, it can be loud when it's busy. The lighting is nice so you can see how beautifully the rolls are made. They have quite a few no-rice rolls on their menu, and those have all been really good. Honestly, my favorite that I tried recently is the Cajun Salmon Sushi and the Cajun Tuna Sushi. Both lightly seared and the seasoning is amazing. They offer some of the best baked mussels I've had as well. read more

Sushi One Spot - We started eating before I could get a photo lol - Japanese Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

Came here for the first time because they were hosting a Love Island watch party. To my surprise, the restaurant was packed, mostly filled with people wanting to watch LI. We weren't able to get a table in the back where they were showing it, but we were still able to see the TVs. It didn't matter all that much because they weren't playing the volume so it wasn't much of a true watch party. The food was ok and the staff were really busy with all of the business from Love Island. We had to remind our server that she forgot a few things but she was really nice and would bring it out right away. read more

Horrible experience here. I usually use to come here for the AYCE BUT unfortunately this experience was a mess.

This review is for their ayce togo special. I think you pay $30 or $35 for $70 worth of food? Got 3 orders of that and it's not worth in my opinion and the quality is not that great. You order on the phone and they'll send you a text when it's ready. read more

I see why it's called sushi one spot, it's cause you go to this spot ONCE. The rice was super mushy that it made the AYCE unbearable. The fish was not fresh at all and smelled like chemicals. I had to spit it out. My stomach started to grumble and I felt nauseous I had to leave. They do charge extra for leftover sushi. The Asian male server there was the best though, the only good thing about this restaurant. read more

Ah what can I say, One Spot Sushi is still one of the best AYCE sushi spot. We love getting the Jen Jen and John, they are a must have whenever we come here. Then there's the crispy chicken appetizers that's also yummy. Also, the Cajun salmon is where it's at!!! I love coming here with my husband and those items I've listed above is enough to make these AYCE experience worth it. On top of that, on our last visit, were greeted and seated almost right away since we were the first patron of the day lol we were so eager to get these sushi :D The ambiance is very casual, plenty of clean tables and chairs for you to enjoy some delicious sushi. The waitresses were friendly and always prompt to get us whatever it is that we needed for the table. Food and service was great, what else is there to do but give this place a 5 star. My stomach is growling as I'm posting this review and pictures of the sushi that I had. read more

Sushi One Spot - Don't remember but taste like sawdust - Japanese Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

See all

One Spot sushi in Rancho Cucamonga, a local AYCE sushi restaurant. Restaurant claims to be #1 local sushi restaurant, and while that is subjective, the location did have overall good food. Round 1 Sashimi salad with a mild dressing and an oyster appetizer. Salad was a little skimpy with the fish to salad ratio favoring fish. The salad could use more salad. Ordered an miso soup in addition. Good salty flavor overall Round 2 Four hand rolls, the spider, salmon skin, tuna, and rainbow. Spider roll contained soft shell crab that was not very soft, more hand and tough. The salmon skin roll was absolutely gross, taking like baked paper with the consistency of wet paper... with no flavor at all... I actually left it on the plate... and they is rare for me. The tuna and rainbow roll hand rolls were amazing... soft tasty fish with a rice that was not too overwhelming. The rainbow roll contained tuna, salmon, and avocado... one of the best hand rolls I have had in a while. Round 3 Nigiri sushi, 10 varieties. The roe options were salty and favorable, with a characteristic salty and savory taste. The eel was strong umami flavor with the unique texture of eel, unique for the meal, and the tuna was typical, a characteristic taste that is not quite bitter, or sour... but very fresh and tasty, Raw shrimp has the almost chewy texture that firms up with the normal cooking process, unique for sure. The albacore was a shock... extremely spicy, but did not have chili or anything obvious. Owner stated chili was put in the sauce... that was some spice! The halibut (like white fish), limited to an orders, had a very neutral taste, and a smooth texture. The rest of the sushi was very typical, including the salmon and yellow tail. The restroom as fairly clean, but the floor was extremely sticky leaving a residue on your shoes. A wet floor sign against the stall alerted to a wet floor potential. The environment was dark, very moody. Tables were small, but with plenty of room for 2 - 4. No alcohol specials like many other restaurants. Service was top notch, with my water constantly full, and the food coming in a fast time. The host was friendly and made we welcome. She invited me back at the end of the meal. Sushi One Spot was definitely not #1, but some unique items and great service made it a great meal. Next time I will stick to the classics and avoid the temperatura and fried items. B+, 3.5 - 4 stars read more

Sushi One Spot - Japanese Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

Updated Review 2023: This still a good spot for all you can eat sushi just make sure to come with plenty of time because the service is slow and now they close quite earlier. The pieces has good sizes but a lot of rice to fill you up. Last seating during the week is 7:30pm One good thing about this place is that you have the ability to order half of order on rolls (4 pieces) instead of the entire roll order (8 pieces) this way you have more choices and options. The place is very big and plenty of seating but not as many waiters working. Also don't bother checking into this place on the Yelp app to get their offer, they do not honor their promotion coupon even if is for just 1.00off your over $100.00 bill! Date of visit: September 2023 Price per person for all you can eat dinner: 39.95/e Time: M-Th11:30am to 8pm F-S 11:30am to 9pm read more
