    $16 Dinner Special after 5pm
    Carol C.

    Dined in and all the staff were friendly and super attentive! We ordered the $16 dinner special it's available after 5pm and it was plenty of food. Everything tasted so fresh and delicious. Cozy restaurant, great local gem!

    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!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Looks like a small place from the outside, but there's tons of seating inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Definitely a spot to bring the family or if you want a quick bite or if you want to catch up with a friend.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have yummy drinks to choose from, they have the sodas and glass bottles that are so delicious, great food options even sushi is good! Service was amazing. We could not have been happier. The quality of the food was so good.

    Beef Sukiyaki Bowl

    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.

    The missus lunch
    Cor V.

    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.

    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!

    Firecracker was nothing but rice! Disappointment

    Came here for the second time now. Looking at my first review I thought maybe it's better this time. Well it was ok. Wish it was better but I was dissatisfied with my roll. I guess I won't order rolls here.

    Was visiting niece in hospital and her favorite food is a crunchy roll. Looked up some places near hospital this one popped up and it was delicious. Roll was good size I also ordered a beef bowl best one I have tried yet. Place has a good happy hour. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside it's spacious plenty of seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service is great will def be coming back when I'm in the area.

    Went a second time after I fractured my wrist, and the food did not disappoint. I honestly think it has a healing spell as my wrist was feeling good. GOATED service & atmosphere. Will come again

    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

I also got the Spicy Chunk Yellowtail hand roll and Bikini roll. Scallop Sashimi was delicious, but looked smaller compared to my previous visit.

I also enjoyed the sweet and savory combination of the Bikini roll. The service was excellent and there was plenty of open seating. I enjoy the atmosphere, energy, and music while dining.

Unfortunately, we were placed at a small corner table where several mosquitoes were flying around, and both of us were bitten multiple times during our meal. We originally ordered the butter scallops and the hamachi kama (yellowtail collar), but were told they were sold out, so we had to order something else instead. The food quality was good, and the appetizers came out promptly. However, my chicken teriyaki never arrived while we were eating. After we had finished our meal, I flagged down another waitress to cancel the order and ask for the check. A few minutes later, I noticed my chicken teriyaki had been delivered to the wrong table before it was eventually brought to ours. The biggest issue was the service. Our original waitress never checked on us, asked how everything was, or offered drink refills. I had to flag down another waitress for drink refills, and she was the only one who was attentive. I still left a tip because of the other waitress who helped us, but overall the poor service overshadowed the good food. Sadly, I won't be coming back.

    Cozy spot for incredible sushi!…read more I tried Golden Eye Snapper for the first time ever, and it might be one of my new favorites! The lightly torched skin gives each bite a nice, firm textural contrast against the delicate, tender meat. The yuzu garnish puts it over the top! My other favorites are Striped Jack and Hokkaido Scallop. My friend, who doesn't really like eating fish, loves their Double S Roll (tempura shrimp & fried scallops.) The service has been mostly wonderful. We did run into one hiccup when we found some hard, jagged black chunks in the Double S Roll that we couldn't eat. They looked and felt like metal or charred debris, but the staff insisted they were black sesame seeds. Otherwise, the staff has been upbeat and super friendly. If you're looking for your next unforgettable bite, do yourself a favor and order the Golden Eye Snapper!

My boyfriend's brother did the ordering since he's been here a lot. He ordered: Peruvian Cebiche: which was the catch of the day, tiger milk, ahi Amarillo, concha, and sweet potato. It was so delicious! I believe the catch of the day was either scallop or white fish which was in the tiger milk and ahi Amarillo sauce which was a sour like sauce which pairs well with the fish. It was also a great dipping sauce for the other sushi we got. If I could, I would have slurped the whole thing (the sauce) lol. Blue Fin Sashimi: with kizami wasabi and special soy sauce. If you have tried blue fin you are missing out. The sashimi just melts in your mouth and has such an easy chew to it. Sushi Nikkei Tasting (8 pc sushi): consists of 2 pcs of sweet salmon (parrillera sauce), tuna power (parrillera sauce, aji Amarillo, and chalaquita), Parmesan scallops, and Asian shiromi (white fish, Asian sauce, quinoa pop, and lemon). My boyfriend and I had 1 pc each. The salmon and Parmesan scallops were my favorite. My boyfriend's favorite was the Asian shiromi and tuna power. All the toppings complimented each other so well. Who knew?! Acebichado: which was a specialty roll with crispy shrimp, avocado topped with tuna, acebicado sauce, togarashi, and green onion Dusty roll: which was another specialty roll with crispy shrimp, avocado topped with octopus in ninja sauce, Parmesan, and tare OBA roll: which was another specialty roll that had crispy salmon, avocado topped with salmon , parrillera, jalapeno sauce, and chalaquita All the rolls were good and the different sauces complimented each other and the fish.

There was another table on the other end that wasn't in the "walkway" and host said it's reserved even though it was still only for 4. Wasn't extremely busy so got frustrated with this response as at first there was no solution provided. About 1-2 minutes later they offered to combine a third table to "reroute" the server path and we were able to eat with my child. Server and rest of staff were great and turned the experience around. Food was delicious including octopus fire, bluefin tuna tasting , Ginza Maki roll , Bixby Roll and the Acebichado.

Salmon skin salad: if you like salmon skin, this is yummy. A perfect crunch seasoned really well to complement the bed of greens. Furikake fries: thinly cut potato's with furikake seasoning paired with a sweet mustard dipping sauce. I would have enjoyed more Furikake on the fries, but that's just me.
