Sushi One Spot
$$ | (909) 941-1180 | WEBSITE
Sushi One Spot has been serving Rancho Cucamonga in one form or another for years. Even today, it’s considered a go-to type of meal that you probably really need a craving for, like a celebration, a treat, or whatever occasion in your week you’d want to mark with something you’ll definitely do again. The menu consistently delivers, but the experience generally focuses on two things: the all-you-can-eat option at the table and using quality to the fullest in every dish.
You might see things like a California roll served with fresh salmon and a spicy tuna hand roll, or a piece of nigiri topped with more fish before being complemented by attentive service.
