It was my very first time at a sushi place and I took my friend here for her birthday (it's one of her favorite places to get sushi in town). We arrived just after they opened and could sit anywhere, so we sat outside. It's right behind Goodwill and across from a plaza with other businesses, so it could get a bit noisy with all the bustling and drop-offs at Goodwill. However, the little patio area was lovely! Simple, clean, with accent greenery that I really liked. I don't eat raw fish (but still wanted to take my friend to her favorite place since it was her special day) so I was nervous that my options would be extremely limited. I was pleasantly surprised to find so many options without fish - even some sushi rolls that had chicken and veggies! And the prices were amazing for a sushi place - I was excited. I got the chicken and cucumber sushi roll, with chicken karaage and veggie spring rolls to split, and my friend getting the "U.C.S.B." sushi roll for her. Everything was so good!! I think I fell in love with those spring rolls. So fresh and perfectly cooked - crispy and flaky! The chicken karaage could be a bit hard to get a bite off, but they were nice and crispy and hot. I thought my sushi roll was yummy but I think I would have liked a more savory sauce instead of the sweet sauce on it. And my friend absolutely LOVED her roll! She ate all of it! The wait staff were very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed, along with constantly refilling our water glasses. It was great! I had a wonderful experience and look forward to going back! read more

Food was good and service was very fast. We ordered the Rainbow Roll, another roll, and the Molly and Strawberry Nigori. Had it not been a cold, rainy, and windy day -- and had a disabled guest not been told to sit outside while plenty of seating was available indoors -- this likely would have been a five-star experience. However, I did need to address an ADA issue. Unfortunately, I've had to educate many businesses on ADA law, and it can be exhausting. Service animals are legally permitted anywhere the public is allowed. Most violations occur because staff are not properly trained and may confuse service animals with emotional support animals (ESAs) or pets. I hope management continues training staff so future guests with disabilities do not have to advocate for their legal rights themselves. read more

Really friendly staff. This is always a bonus for places to me. You can tell they were extremely helpful and accommodating . The food was really tasty and fresh. The salad and the main course all delicious. They even brought me out some ice cream for my birthday. Great place and great experience read more

My first time coming here, found them on yelp and really wanted sushi that was close by the hospital. I'm glad my husband and I came by. My favorite role was the sandy roll. I love everything with lemon and this was just the perfect lemon, flavored with salmon. We also tried the bowl with salmon which was good however it was too much rice. I would recommend them read more

Popped by Sushi Teri last night for a quick Sunday night bite, haven't been here in awhile. Happy to say they have upped their sushi game and now also serve Moet & Chandon bubbly, which is so lovely for us non beer drinking girlies. The sushi was actually pretty epic, will definitely have Sushi Teri back in my sushi restaurant rotation. SB is definitely a great place for sushi and I'm so here for it! read more

Our go to is the chirashi. I live in the san jose area. Whenever I am in town visiting family/friends, I make sure to stop by for a bowl of Chirashi or chicken Katsu. Best bang for your buck!! read more

Last-minute decision to stop in for lunch. Got a great parking spot in front, but there's plenty of parking in back, too. Wonderful, shady, comfortable outdoor seating. Ordered the Teriyaki Beef/Chicken Combo. Started with a somewhat soggy Cabbage Salad that seemed unfresh with a dressing that lacked zing and flavor. The Beef was tender, but the Chicken was terrible. It had a rubbery, odd texture that seemed pre-cooked and reheated, not freshly grilled, and, most importantly, both meats lacked the char crust that perfects this dish. Took home for later, Chicken Gyoza and California Roll. The Gyoza was ok, but the California Roll was poor--mushy, watery crab. The server was overly enthusiastic, leaning over the table when just handing me the menu, asking for my order. They never once checked back on how my meal was or offered a water refill. They were quick to drop the ticket and present the CC device for payment. This could be an amazing place if they would level up. read more

Sushi Terri is my favorite place to go after a long day at work or just because I'm craving some teriyaki chicken. I highly recommend this place for all the combination specials, especially the teriyaki chicken and tempura with California roll. Our family likes to try the sushi special and the last trip the Carrillo roll was by far the most liked item on the menu. Staff recommended the chicken Katsu, which was enough to feed three people and we took home for lunch the next day. Additionally, the cabbage salad is a hit for even those who don't like salad. I just wish that they would sell the salad dressing to take home. read more

Sushi was fresh and the service was quick thy were so nice, would eat here again for the rest of my life. Offered extra coke cola and the area was so nice and it was so yummy!!! read more

We come here frequently. It's solid. Always good and fresh. Especially love their salmon sashimi.

Always the BEST!! We dine or order with ST multiple times in a month. We've never had an inferior experience. The Combo plates are fabulous with several variations (including tempura). Take-out or dine-in, the quality and consistency never wavers. We truly enjoy both, and the flawlessly prepared and very carefully packed food is at the ready to accompany us anywhere, (ie: visiting & sharing with friends, off to the beach or park, or home to quietly relax and enjoy)! Thank you SO MUCH Sushi Teri, for being one of the ABSOLUTE best things about Santa Barbara. No other similar fare offerings in our area compare. You sit at the top of that mountain. Just writing this makes me want to place an order!! read more

Having worked at a similar restaurant owned by the same people I'm always happy to come here. Last week my friend and I came in 30 minutes before closing to order to go. In the past I've asked to substitute items in the combos, and was told this time rudely by a staff member, they couldn't change the order and the chef behind the sushi bar nodded in agreement to my initial substitution. Instead I had to pay 3x the amount to order separate rolls, which wasn't what I originally needed. Sad to see service like this when I love this family run business. At least I got all my utensils. read more

Imagine my surprise when I discovered sushi Teri in Goleta has a location in Santa Barbara! Firstly their nigiri is HUGE! I'm not a size queen but for their salmon nigiri, I am! Buttery soft and flavorful. This location is no different in quality but I like the location and outdoor patio. It's a beautiful place, intimate, cozy and the service staff are so very attentive. That kind of attentive I like. You just lift you head and look around and they come ask you what you need. I love that. I need that. The sushi rolls are for comfort. Lots of avocado and cream cheese. I need these even I'm exhausted from driving my commute so thank you sushi Teri, we truly love you! read more

I'd return here again if I'm ever in the area. I love the whole mom and pop vibe of the place. They were supposed to close within 20 minutes of my arrival, but they still made me feel welcome and not rushed. I was with two other friends and we were all happy with the sushi. All the fish tasted fresh and you got the value for your money. read more

I was so excited to get reacquainted with Sushi Teri, a regular in the day. Unfortunately. Chicken w/"vegetables" means one small slice of carrot, Broccoli and zucchini, which looks more like a garnish. Service can use a smile. read more

Service was great! Everyone was very attentive, and answered questions we had about the menu. They came to check on us often, and cleared plates right away. The food was good, but not knock my socks off amazing. All in all, I would still recommend this restaurant. read more

My wife and I ordered the Oriental Chicken Salad and the chicken was tough and many pieces has gristle and were inedible. I called to complain, hoping we could get a refund or credit. Although the front line people were nice, they put me on hold and spoke to the owner who offered a 25% refund. How insulting to a regular customer. read more

#ThankYouThursday I've been to their other restaurants in Goleta and Carpinteria, but this one is my preferred location. Certainly grateful for many tasty sushi dinners and take-outs over the years, especially when I was a college student with a limited budget! Sushi options are abundant in Santa Barbara, but the ones worth going to are high-end establishments reserved for special occasions. A good amount of the neighborhood joints tend to be mediocre, while still being on the pricier side. Sushi Teri manages to strike a balance, with fish that taste fresh, pieces that are decent sizes, and costs that are reasonable. The sushi rice holds up well and has the right amount of vinegar. When it comes to rolls, they have a good variety of choices on the menu. On a recent visit I tried the "New Crunchy", which is a deep fried roll that contains crab legs, shrimp, avocado, cucumbers, and cream cheese. It was a to-go order, but the outer tempura shell survived a 30 minute car ride and was still crispy by the time I sat down to eat. The combination of seafood and vegetables went well together. The cream cheese was unnecessary, but it wasn't overpowering. A big shoutout to Laxman Perera, Keiko Miyata, and the rest of the team at Sushi Teri/Nikka! This local restaurant group is responsible for bringing many delicious concepts to the area. TY! read more

Amazing food! I got California and tempura rolls and they were to die for! Not to mention the teriyaki chicken combo was amazing at a good price. I got the spicy chicken and it was amazing as well. The people that took our order were so sweet, they allowed us to call in an order for takeout 2 mins before the cutoff time and were completely understanding. When I got there for pickup the restaurant looked so clean and well put together. Will 10000% be back. Highly recommend! read more

Their Daily Specials are always full of tasty surprises, and their Lunch Specials offer something for everyone. Thanks to server Anuk for being so attentive and for taking such good care of us.

Yume used to be our favorite sushi place but now that it has moved, Sushi Teri is our new go to place. It's cheaper and portions are good (they give more rice and generous slices of the fish as well). Will note that the eel and mackerel were more fishier then Sushi 29 (We had just come from Sushi 29 (new yume) and wasn't satisfied-their rolls were costy for the amount given and we wanted a round 2) We normally only order sashimi-so I can only recommend this place for sashimi and drinks as of right now. read more

Amazing nigiri lunch special. 7 piece nigiri with soup. High quality fish. Highly recommend it.

Was craving some rolls, specifically salmon and eel rolls. Since nigiri is fairly expensive and not enough to fill my wife's and my hunger we opted for rolls. For the size(they weren't extremely small or big)of these rolls they were pretty pricey but it did it's job of filling us up. They do not have many options for salmon rolls other than nigiri and sashimi so I ended up with the Alaskan roll and the Molly roll. I also got the UCSB roll because I wanted eel and was really disappointed that there were barely any eel inside or on top. I'll stick to their sushi and not the rolls. read more

Me and my wife recently ordered takeout from the location in Santa Barbara and we're very disappointed in the food. It's all he was cooked in properly for California rolls were not anywhere near the quality that we've come to know and the beef tasted funny. But the saddest part is that they have no email address to get a hold of them on their website I don't think we'll be going back to sushi Terry anymore read more

I would leave 0 stars if I could - put an order in to go, and when they gave the total I let them know I had a gift card. The girl in the front asked me to hold and very loudly we heard someone in the back yell "JUST TELL THEM NO, JUST TELL THEM NO." The woman over the phone said "uh - I'm sorry we can't take your gift card". I asked why and she said "uh - I'm not sure", then hung up. Unreal - cannot believe that a business would not accept a gift card at it's own business. I understand there are different locations, but there is nothing on the card that says "not applicable for Santa Barbara location". We don't even like Sushi Teri food (it was just a gift card we were just trying to use) - I can attest to how horrible the quality is, literally the sushi at Whole Foods is better than this trash. 0 stars Sushi Teri. read more

Doesn't seem like much when you walk by, but... Wait no that was the Yelp boilerplate:) Actually looove this place! Who could not love the California roll, it was the best! And the Omega roll has to be experienced do not get FOMO! This is my #1 SB Sushi place now! read more
