The Spot mini

Restaurant · 4.2 (292 reviews)

The Spot mini is a counter-serve restaurant at 4207 Knox Rd in College Park, very close to the University of Maryland campus. Google describes it as serving Japanese and other East Asian dishes with an extensive tea and coffee menu, and it has a 4.2-star Google rating across 292 reviews.

Reviewers mention poke bowls with unlimited toppings, sushi and sashimi they describe as fresh, and drinks like purple sweet potato milk tea. Some say it is a cozy place to study or hang out with friends. Reviews are mixed on consistency: one longtime customer felt shorted on protein in a poke bowl, another found a smoothie poorly blended, and one notes slow service and a lot of takeout packaging even when dining in.

The Spot mini opens at 11:30 AM daily and closes at 10 PM, or 10:30 PM on Fridays and Saturdays. Google lists a wheelchair-accessible entrance, parking lot and seating.
