Spin Roll Sushi

Great spicy tuna crunch roll and nice miso soup. Great service. Very reasonably priced ..A+++ will go again.

One of my favourite sushi places in Vancouver - solid prices and the orders come through super fast when you sit in. Main sushi lady is very friendly.

I get take out here for lunch once a month or so. There is generally a pretty long wait for food with no comfortable seating. The place looks old and dingy and is super cramped inside.

Aside from the blah atmosphere and the lack of comfort, the food is pretty good and filling. However, you could easily do better with the amount of sushi restaurants downtown to pick from, though it's not a bad place to go for convenience if you want to stay within a block or two.

This place I don't know what happened it used to be really good but when I went in a couple days ago the place was filthy and I don't know the vibe was off. I ordered my things online placed notes and there was still confusion but my notes were clearly laid out. Also the quality not sure what happened but really just not very good anymore such a shame cause I used to love it here. Unfortunately I won't be back also because I ended up getting a nasty case of food poisoning when I woke up the next day.

This little hole in the wall is best for take out. They have a few stools and bar height tables and is not recommended for a comfortable sit down meal. They have a great assortment of sushi and I ordered the combination plate this time (see photo). The prices are decent for downtown and the quality is good. I like the they don't use a ton of rice to make their rolls bigger.

The staff are nice and friendly.

Hello my favourite new sushi place!!!

Spin Roll is right outside my school, and had it not been for a school mate chowing down on some huge rolls in front of me, I would never have guessed that it totally rules.

I'm pretty boring when it comes to sushi, and reviewing it. I get the same thing everywhere I go. But anyways, there is a noticeable difference in price when I order my usual meal here, and with Urban Sushi on Granville where I used to practically live. My total comes to around $10 at Spin Roll, and about $13/14 at Urban. Uh. I get the exact same thing. The best part? The portions at Spin Roll are way bigger. I've never had Inari Nigiri stuffed so full anywhere else.

You can tell Spin Roll is awesome by the lineup they have during lunch hours.

ALSO, not only are the staff really smiley and pleasant, they are FAST. No more waiting 15-20 minutes for a freakin' avocado roll. Seriously, they are doing something right at Spin Roll.

LOVE.

Do cheap and quality go together very often? Not usually, but here they do. The space is tiny, but the service is fast and friendly.

We enjoyed the spicy tuna (extra spicy, full of flavor!), California and sweet potato rolls as well the nigiri. The quality and size of the fish were perfect. I love a large piece of fish for my nigiri but hate the awkwardness of it, so this was perfect size and great taste.

My only complaint is that I wish they had the low sodium soy sauce, the regular really detracted from the flavor!

If I worked in this area, this would be a no-brainer for a lunch stop for me.

The place is charming and small. The menu looked appetizing; they had some interesting sushi combos.

I was tempted by the tofu and yam rolls combo, but decided to go with something safer. For $7, the Spin Roll combo comes with California and Dynamite roll. Miso soup was not included - quite disappointing.

The Cali roll was dry. The Dynamite roll was rubbery and cold. It just tells me that the Tempura Prawn had been sitting out for a while. It did not make for an appetizing sushi roll. Everything just lacked flavor.

Around this area, it was a toss up between this place or the one a few doors down. I find them in the same ball park in terms of quality, taste and price. So, take your pick!

Not bad for a downtown sushi joint. I popped in on my way home after work and I was the only customer so the limited seating wasn't an issue. I got the special - 6 piece california roll, 3 piece avocado and 3 piece yam tempura roll. It was cheap, something like $5.50 plus tax. And it was ok to eat. I won't be raving about it. I had to pay extra for miso soup and a drink so the final bill was almost $10.

If I worked near here I would come for lunch, but when I have more time I'm willing to wait for better quality and taste.

This is my favourite sushi joint in downtown, and I always recommend it to my friends. I'm not sure whether I am such a loyal customer or the consistency of the sushi and the people keep wanting me to go back! Either way the sushi is fresh, the portions are good, the price is reasonable, and the people are lovely -especially the manager lady and the always-smiling super-energetic cute girl at the counter (now gone back home). The dynamite combo makes for a delicious lunch!
