The story in Kairosoft's games, including "Sushi Spinnery," often serves as a backdrop rather than a central focus, with some players finding it lacking in depth and engagement. While certain narratives, like those involving hot springs and pool slides, are appreciated, others feel underdeveloped, leaving players wanting more substantial plot elements. Overall, newcomers are encouraged to start with "Game Dev Story" for a more captivating experience.

- “As with most of Kairosoft's games, the story does not play a central role but instead serves as an overarching setting that establishes the context for the gameplay.”
- “A factor I find somewhat odd about SS is that it gets close to having a story, but decides not to go far enough for there to be a plot.”
- “Heck, even the newspaper columns talking about your growth get so close to a story.”
