I've never written a review for Bamboo Teri but have been going here for some time. Bamboo is like a big, warm hug. It's a spot you can go to and know you're getting a familiar smile, consistent food, and service that is always on point. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We've never eaten there, because they are right down the street from us, but every time we do there is a family there, a couple, friends hanging out, and the vibe is just friendly and welcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I mean, it's like a staple of the neighborhood. And the food is always good. I don't think I've ever had something bad there. I've never received an order that wasn't right. An item that was ever missing. They are always just so rock solid! We appreciate you Bamboo Teri House and your entire team! read more

I feel bad I haven't written a review to one of my favorite Japanese food experiences for the last two decades! Tried this place when I was only 16 (now 37), and fell in love with the delicious food and stellar customer service from every employee that has ever worked there. Since I've been here through the years, every employee I've interacted with has always provided outstanding customer service, always creating a welcoming environment for all guests. I really enjoy a lot of items on their menu. Highly recommend their Mixed Tempura, Sukiyaki Bowl and Super Bowl or even the Mini Bowl menu items. They always give you a decent amount of protein to go with your carbs! Not sure or maybe picky? Just grab their 3 item combo and taste a little of their main items. Overall, love this little hole in the wall spot and will keep on coming back whenever I'm in the neighborhood. read more

I don't think I've ever actually had a katsu Don before and by all the reviews I had to try it! Seeing it was egg with onion over rice with chicken reminded me of a dish my mom would make, not quite like this but very similar. This was really good and tasty! Good portion as I could've finish it all but leftovers are great! Chicken was nice and tender too. Service was friendly and efficient and several people dining inside too which is always a great sign! Can't wait to go back and try more things from their very extensive menu options! read more

Bamboo Teri House is a winner. When in Long Beach we like to stop here for a quick lunch.. they have great lunch specials.. the lovely missus tells me this was her favorite place during her college and medical career days. She has her Teri chicken and noodles with vegetable tempura and a salad... my tasty meal consisted of chicken Teri on a bed of white rice, a couple slices of CA roll and chicken on a stick over noodles. It was yummy and very friendly service. There will be no hesitation if the missus chooses Bamboo Teri House. read more

Bamboo Teri House has been serving the Long Beach community for over forty years and it's something that we need to continue to support! While they do have sushi rolls that you could sample at a discount for happy hour before 5pm, it's the teriyaki and Japanese Curry that I crave from here. For a little over $30 on a Tuesday, I was able to get (1) a "Funtastic Tempura Bowl" ($12.60) for shrimp/vegetable tempura, teriyaki chicken, rice, and noodles, (2) a teriyaki chicken bowl ($12.50), and (3) a plate of vegetable tempura with six pieces ($6). This was easily enough for my wife and I, and we felt that it was a great value. I intend to take my coworkers here with me on weekday happy hour before 5pm for some appetizers and $14 Sapporo pitchers. Overall, I think they have pretty filling rice bowls, and I hope that this place stands for another forty years; however, that will depend on the community continuing to support it! read more

The workers here are so friendly ands always smiling. I already love the food. I usually get the tempura and lucky me, they have Tempura Tuesdays where it's like $2 cheaper. You'll love it here. It's been a staple on this corner for many many years. It's my good to for fast Japanese without the fast food feeling. read more

I went to Bamboo Teri House yesterday after getting my nails done next door and decided to grab something quick to eat. I ordered the two-combo plate with noodles and salad, and went with the chicken katsu and ginger chicken. The food was pretty good. Nothing super fancy or over-the-top, but definitely a solid meal for a decent price. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was actually pretty packed when I went, which is usually a good sign.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered to go, so I can't speak much about the full dine-in service. But the employees at the register were very helpful and really nice, especially when making recommendations. One thing to know is parking is not great. There's very limited parking in that area, so you may have to circle a bit or park nearby. I'd recommend it if you're looking for a good, casual meal that won't break the bank. Flavor Profile (for reference): Umami-forward (savory, salty depth) Acidic or bright (tangy + sour) Pungent & intense (spicy + bitter notes) Drink Preference (for reference): Bitter-forward cocktails Balanced acidity Light sweetness only, not overly sugary read more

This review is of the young lady at the register taking orders. On my receipt, server's name is SAGE T. I felt she was rushing to take my order, I wasn't done ordering, she asked anything else? I said yes and continued to look over the menu. Then after literally a few seconds, she asks, is that all? I answered, I guess that's all then. I really wasn't, but, with her tone, I was done. *** RUDEST PERSON*** there. It's 3:30pm, on a Friday, restaurant was not busy at all. Food is always good. Next I come in, and see her, I will leave or wait for someone else to take my order. I see that she's ending her shift. Cash tip is going to the next shift, waiting for miss THANG to leave. read more

Solid little spot for some affordable, delicious eats. Crowded and a little cluttered, this place gives off some longstanding lowkey local vibes. But remember, you're not coming for some super chic ambiance, you're coming to fill your belly in this economy. Their ichiban dinner special has a whole lotta variety for ~$16: chicken teriyaki on rice, katsu, some tempura, a couple maki, a gyoza, a spring roll, and seaweed salad all neatly packed in a bento. I got the Super Bowl (~$14), which was chicken teriyaki, two pieces of tempura, a couple pieces of their sesame chicken (bomb), and steamed veggies. I was expecting more than two baby carrots and a broccoli floret for my veggies, but shouldn't complain -- they were very generous with the protein. The Mini Bowl (~$9) had rice, yakisoba, chicken teriyaki, and sesame chicken as well. It seemed like a good amount of food for a reasonable price tag. All together, our family of 4 was able to eat for about $60. Supporting a local business in the process? That's definitely a win. read more

On one hand, I want to gate keep this place because I don't want it to get too crowded. However, I need them to stay open so I have to share. I've been going to Bamboo Teri House for over 24 years. I love sushi and no matter where I go. I always compare any new sushi I'm trying to Bamboo Terri House. Always fresh, always prepared well with the perfect amount of seasonings for all their dishes. The way they add the tempura to make any sushi roll crunchy is perfection. I don't want to start naming the rolls because they are all so yummy! I've never had a bad roll here. Even though they went up on the pricing, it's still very reasonable. You can get some great deals with their specials or happy hour. It's small but quaint. They always keep everything clean and they periodically update the decor. I will keep coming back here for the sushi, the noodles, salad, miso soup, teriyaki chicken, tempura, etc. By the way, the tempura here is crunchy and not greasy, simply delicious. The staff is consistently awesome. If you know you know! They are one of the best! read more

This is my FAVORITE Japanese restaurant to go to! I work nearby and all of us get it at least once or twice a week for lunch. They're always so kind, very mom and pop feel.

Staff: They were incredibly helpful, friendly, and a pleasure to be helped by. Quality/Quantity: The food was delicious with fair portion size. Everything was fresh and tasted well seasoned. No complaints only a happy belly for all of us. Value: Fair and I like with other places. Overall: Really happy with the experience and will continue to come here as I have for the past 20 years or so. The place was packed so I am happy to see them doing well. Pro tip: They now have poke bowls. Really good! I would only suggest they offer cold or hot rice with it. Some prefer one or the other. read more

Mad at myself i didn't know about this gem sooner. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Mom & Pop restaurant and a very familiar atmosphere with an abundance of Japanese restaurants growing up in southbay & Hawaii in the late 1990's.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You'll find the owners making their rounds working hard. Food is solid and nostalgic. Menu is extensive from sushi to bento to soup, as with most Japanese eateries, but they don't skimp on quality or portions. Support local. I love that they're still in business over 40 years. Will be back for more! Edited: Wife and I had our "ratatouille moment" whilst enjoying the food yesterday. I need to share this spot with all my friends and family - hope this restaurant stays alive for many more years to come. read more

This little hole in the wall has been around forever and has some of the best food. The prices are somewhere between fast food and sit down restaurant. If you go for lunch, they always have daily specials that are a bargain. There is also a happy hour menu from 2pm to 5pm. I've never had anything I didn't like. Craving Japanese food? Limited on time and didn't want to break the bank? This is your spot. read more

Ok so talking about what "Authentic Japanese food" - since 80's this restaurant is owned and run by a Japanese couple from Japan. They have so many variety of food you can think of (or even more than you know!) and now, they have that loving Matcha Late too (hey Starbucks?) and series of good Ramen, which the owner pursuit for the best noodle and soup for that. Sushi - been always taste good Japanese sushi (because, you know, some other places, they don't taste fish at all) and this time I tried "Miso Salmon roll" for the first time, and It was soooooo GOOD!!! Waiting time is nothing to complain! Thare are so many more menu that I need to try, so I will be back for my ... maybe like 30th time, soon next month. :) So funny when I was eating lunch there last Friday, 3 friends coincidentally came to come eat at the same time! Love this place!!! read more
