    uni pasta
    Kaitlyn P.

    Came here 45 minutes before close and felt so so bad but the food quality and service was still so good! Everything was fresh and the whole restaurant was super clean. It had a cute open garage side and the lighting for all the dishes at night were so perfect. Got the uni pasta and the size was so generous and it was so creamy. The katsu was so crispy and thin it was soooo good. I loved the complimentary miso soup and im super picky about my miso soup! It was the perfect savory miso flavor i crave. Loved this place for sure coming back.

    This sushi spot is top notch. It's on the pricier side, but if you're looking for quality sushi, planning a date night, or trying to introduce someone to really good sushi, this is the place. My partner and I live nearby, so we come pretty often. Our usual order is the assorted nigiri, seared salmon carpaccio, blue toro carpaccio (more of a special occasion splurge), two orders of edamame because we refuse to share, and the salmon collar. The miso soup always hits and even the water tastes fresh. The space is small, so there can be a wait if you come on a busy time, but there are shops nearby to walk around while you wait. There's also parking inside the plaza plus street parking nearby.

    Hawaiian roll (my favorite of the night)

    Finally tried this spot out last night, and it did not disappoint. Walked in and was surprised to see it almost empty. Entrance was a bit awkward as it was a tight squeeze between trying to get in as someone was paying for their to-go order. It was awkward because even though the staff saw us standing there, I felt like we weren't acknowledged until the lady walked out. No biggie. Small oversight. We were sat at a table and our server, same guy at the door who was handling the transaction, immediately brought us a water pitcher and two complimentary miso soups. I really appreciated that touch because not many places do that anymore, and it was perfect for the chilly evening. We asked for water cups, but he probably forgot. It wasn't very busy in there, but it looked like it was only him taking orders and serving. So my cousin took it upon himself to get them from another table. No biggie. The water was refreshing. The pitcher came infused with lemon and mint. A nice little touch. Onto the rolls, we split 3 rolls between the two of us: the Tuna Lover, The Crazy Roll and the Hawaiian. The tuna lover and crazy roll both come with spicy tuna inside, which I normally shy away from because I'm a baby. But our server said it was 5/10 spicy, so I figured I'd try them. They weren't too bad, but next time I'll stick to only one roll with spicy tuna. HAWAIIAN ROLL This was my and my cousin's favorite of the three. It comes with tempura asparagus & avocado inside and topped with tuna poke and avo. It was very fresh and the flavors melded together nicely. There was a chunk of tuna for every piece and plenty of avocado. The asparagus was perfectly cooked and did not overpower in flavor. TUNA LOVER This was our second favorite. It was a flavor bomb! From the spicy tuna inside, the smokiness of the seared tuna and sesame oil. We really enjoyed this one a lot, but the spicy tuna does pack a bit of heat... in a good way. CRAZY ROLL Ironically, we weren't crazy about this one. We were trying to decide between a regular crunch roll and this one (deep fried). We were recommended this one, and personally, not my cup of tea. It smelled and even tasted almost sweet. Not sure what they use to deep fry it, but my cousin said it almost reminded him of the taste of churros, so then I couldn't get that out of my mind haha. After 2-3 pieces I called it quits on that roll. I'll have to come back and try more of their fresh options, like their assorted sashimi or nigiri. It's a very cute vibe. Flowers on the table. Nice place for a date, too. The indie playlist they had playing was nice. Could be a tad bit louder... my Shazam couldn't quite pick up all the songs. Other than that, only thing left to note is that their restroom is out back, but it is nicely stocked and clean.

    sashimi salad
    Olivia L.

    LOVE TE-BURU !! this is the best sushi in LBC and this place is filled with romantic vibes, perfect for a date night. i've been here with my hubby countless times before, and it just keeps getting better ! we were first greeted at the door and each got served a warm cup of miso soup. the rolls never disappoint and they are all good. our favorite is the jungle fever. the basil makes the roll aromatic and earthy. the lemon pepper roll is also good with the sear on top. this time we decided to try the sashimi salad. there is the perfect amount of fish and they are cut into chunks. the dressing on top tastes like mustard seed (?) nonetheless it pairs well with the salad. our forever go-to sushi spot in long beach !! :3

    Outside from Atlantic Ave

    What a gem! I was in the area and yelped sushi restaurants--this one was nearby, so I rolled the dice and I'm so glad I did. It's a small restaurant with music playing and a great buzz--everyone was busy in the best way. The staff was incredibly attentive from start to finish. We asked the host for recommendations (nothing spicy), and we couldn't have been happier with what we ordered. You start with complimentary miso soup, which was a nice touch. Then we ordered the garlic albacore roll and the jungle fever roll--both were sooooo good. Truly unique and packed with flavor. The crunchy garlic adds just the right crunch without being overpowering....I couldn't get enough! I usually get bored when sushi is just a slight variation of a California roll, but these were anything but that. We also tried a Korean peach-flavored wine--on the sweeter side, but absolutely delicious. Our server was beyond sweet. She noticed my mom's purse on the floor, picked it up (no bad luck!), placed it on her chair, and even spent a few moments chatting with her. Such thoughtful service. Can't wait to come back--highly recommend!

    The chicken katsu here is amazing!! The prices are very good for the portion size, chicken is crunchy but not overly breaded. Service was very good, waiters were very attentive. The restaurant has very nice decorations and is also very clean. Will be back :)

    Baked salmon
    Chantha E.

    I really enjoyed the ambiance of this sushi spot. We came in for dinner on Easter and the food and service did not disappoint! Servers were very attentive. Prices for food and drinks were very reasonable. We ordered baked salmon ( a dish i always order at all sushi spots). Okonomiyaki? Sp? And a few dishes togo for kids at home. I will definitely revisit. Cute spot for a date night or family dinner. Overall I was pleasantly surprised.

    Tempura Udon
    Brian A.

    So happy to have found such an amazing spot while visiting Long Beach! We showed up right when they opened and they immediately seated us, asked if there were any dietary restrictions, and gave us time to enjoy their miso soup! I ordered their pork tonkatsu while my partner ordered the crunch roll and the tempura udon. The tonkatsu had two pork filets perfectly fried with the crispiest breading I've had, super savory salad, and a bowl of rice! For its price, it comes with a lot of food and kept me full for the rest of the day! The crunch roll was also nicely prepared and tasted incredible! If you're ever in Long Beach, you need to try this spot!

    Deli

    ABSOLUTELY delicious and recommend on coming here when in town! service was quick and fast. This place was so well decorated and so calm, making me feel as in a 5 star restaurant! HAPPY TO BE HERE!!

    Chicken Katsu
    Marlo Y.

    Came here with two of my college friends to catch up over dinner since we were in the area and craving sushi. This spot had good ratings and wasn't too far, so we decided to give it a try. The restaurant wasn't overly crowded, and the overall vibe was casual and comfortable -- good for hanging out and chatting. I ordered the chicken katsu, which was pretty solid. Crispy on the outside, tender inside, and came with a good portion of rice and sides. My friends ordered a few sushi rolls, and everything looked fresh and well-prepared. We also shared a bottle of soju, which made for a fun, relaxed meal overall. Service was straightforward -- our waiter was friendly, checked in a few times, and everything came out in a reasonable amount of time. Nothing particularly stood out, but no complaints either. Overall, a good experience with tasty food and fair pricing. Definitely a nice spot to grab sushi or Japanese comfort food with friends if you're in the Long Beach area.

    My second time to Te-Buru was just as wonderful as the first. Service was top-tier, lovely seating, and infused water. They have the best Miso Soup I've tried and it was not salty. I ordered Scallop Carpaccio, Hot Night Roll, and Mango Tango Roll. Everything was fresh, delicate, precise, refreshing, and delicious. The rolls were so fat and satisfying that I was unable to finish following the carpaccio.

    Been wanting to try for a while and so glad I finally did! Bowls, salad, and gyoza were super yummy! Staff was super attentive and kind. Kitchen staff is ON IT, food came out perfectly spaced out. Yummy wine and beer too.

    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!

The TNT Roll was amazing, but I had to remove the Jalapeño due to it kicking my ass. I'll definitely return because I had an exciting experience.

I've had a wide range of their sushi rolls and nigiri, and they've all been amazing. Some standouts: Salmon Sample, Aburi Miso Salmon, Toro, Salmon Lemon Roll, and Yuzu Roll. My favorite appetizer is the Agedashi Tofu. The flavors are insane! They also have a "bento box" type of option where you can choose two or three items for a great price. This is a great option for non-sushi eaters and sushi eaters alike because the options include chicken teriyaki, chicken katsu, tempura, and several roll options. Service is usually pretty good.

Nowhere near the 4.7 starts this place was rated. I will say the Toro Maguro was good but the rest of it was average.

However I was still hungry after so, the special wasn't as filling as I'd expected. I did order their Las Vegas roll too and that was very tasty. Service could have been better. One thing about me is I take a simple acknowledgment seriously. So when the waitress placed a menu with me while simultaneously talking to another patron as the patron was leaving and didn't even acknowledge me I take as a lack of simple courtesy. So not off to a good start. Then, after I ordered and my special was given to me, the waitress didn't check on me for 15 to 20 minutes. My empty salad bowl and soup bowl sat on my table, water was empty needing to be refilled, I wanted to order another roll but at that point was under a time crunch. It was a frustrating situation. My waitress did apologize and seemed sincere. Apparently there was a problem with the shipping the restaurant received that day and she was on the phone with their supplier which pulled her away. She offered a soda or dessert on the house but because of my time crunch I didn't have time for that and the extra roll. Again perhaps it was an off day I came. The space was good. Clean and comfortable seating.

She had an attitude of being bothered by our question- (do you know what's taking so long for us to get our order?) she looks at the table and asked us- You haven't gotten your sushi roll order? Apparently she failed to notice that the table had no dirty dishes. I believe it was more than enough time to have gotten our order, I noticed that other people were getting their orders before us. And yes! I know that happens often. But her attitude made us uncomfortable and I even thought she made had forgotten about our order and never put it in. Anyway! The food is great! I do recommend this place. But they really need to train their staff (servers) to be more understanding and friendly with their customers. The guys that pick up the dirty dishes are more nice and friendly than the servers that are the main workers that are representing the restaurant and its reputation.

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.
