Spider Sushi Bar

This is the White Castle of “sushi” What an absolute disaster!!!! Just look at the pictures below. Would you believe me if I tell you that’s “calamari” ….. best believe it. The rolls… most people look at the bright colors, sauces, toppings, presentation, and say “that looks good” but for the few who actually knows what to look for… one glance at the rice texture, fish color, and the overall structure of the roll - it’s definitely squeezed together - you already know the quality of food you’re getting. And it’s not like it’s on the affordable side either, their price is already pretty steep before you even consider the quality and portions you get. Also, they served us an $18 roll but forgot to put all toppings… then later served the sauces and toppings separately on a dish like I was totally expected to make my own food. You can’t make this up!! They could’ve taken the roll back and do the right thing but no… over $18 for that single roll… Worse part? I immediately got sick. I should’ve known better. As soon as we walked in, not a single Asian patron or worker. Big red flag. At the very least, learn how to properly make what you’re supposed to serve. This establishment is a cultural disgrace.

Loved it! For the first time, I had fully fried sushi, and I have to say it was perfect! Take a risk with food. U might not be disappointed!Food: 5/5

We ordered the Superman and the Hulk roll to go. When we got home we noticed the lobster inside each roll was very very dry and stringy. The tuna on top of the hulk roll was also dry and dark like it was old. We called to inform them of this and they said “their hands were tied” and they couldn’t do anything if we didn’t drive all the way back to return the rolls. We don’t live close and had a baby at the house so we couldn’t make the 2nd trip. Very disappointed in the quality of food that is normally really good and managements response. After some pushing we got a coupon for an appetizer. That doesn’t make up for the $50 meal.

Unfortunately every sushi place I go to gets compared to my favorite. However if you live in Rockford it is a place to try. They have 2 locations that I know of. The service was very good; the waitress was helpful and accommodating.Food: 5/5

Service is fast and friendly. The food presentation is nice but this place is definitely for Americans to eat at. The stir fry is salty and the sushi is made with way too much rice in it. I ordered the spicy rolls and it was not spicy at all. I noticed a lot of the rolls were made with Cajun seasoning or with pineapple which I thought was unusual. If you are an Asian person or wanting authentic Asian food and sushi, I would recommend elsewhere.

Servers are always so nice, nothing but smiles and positive vibes. Chicken teriyaki is amazing!! We have tried a bunch of different sushi rolls, favorite is the spicy spider! Has a nice kick at the end. Favorite spot for sure!

My wife and I gladly drive 50 minutes each way for the sushi perfection at Spider. The food and the service are equally phenomenal! Our favorites are the Surf and Turf, Hawaiian and Crunchy rolls. Paired with edamame and a side of fried rice and you’re in for the noms!

Honestly the ramen is garbage. Waste of 13$. Izakaya has the best ramen in town. This ramen here tastes more like pho.Food: 1/5

You want good ramen in rockford? Come here. You want good sushi? Come here. You want good donburi? Come here. Its just a really nice place for the cost. I've been coming to spider for years, they don't disappoint.

Love this place. We were seated immediately upon walking in, even though it was busy. Our server was attentive, kind, and helpful. The food was, as always, amazing. Two appetizers, two sushi rolls, and two entrees, plus drinks, for less than $100. Highly recommend.
