Garni H.

I've been coming to this restaurant for over 10 years, and the food has always been consistently amazing -- which makes this review especially disappointing to write. Unfortunately, the service during our most recent visit completely missed the mark. We were seated in the patio and, for the first 20 minutes, our waiter (a tall, bald gentleman) never came to take our order. During that time, he was visibly occupied taking shots and socializing with a group of women at another table. We eventually had to ask another server to take our order and that's when he called our server to attend to our table. After our food arrived, we tried to order additional drinks, but they never came, because again, our waiter was busy chatting and taking shots with the same party instead of attending to his section and forgot. At that point, we were both frustrated and disappointed. To make matters worse, I had noted in the reservation that we were celebrating a birthday, and it was never acknowledged. We ultimately had to flag down another server just to get our check. The food remains excellent, but the level of service we experienced was unprofessional and inattentive -- especially for a place we've supported for over a decade. I truly hope management addresses this, because the restaurant deserves service that matches the quality of its food, not a server taking shots and forgetting to do his job.

OMG Roll + Lemon Roll (with salmon)
Amy G.

Service was so friendly, attentive and food came out quick! We ordered edamame and a couple rolls. OMG Roll was delicious and we subbed the tuna for salmon in the Lemon Roll. Plenty of seating and a cozy place to pop in for a great bite.

Dragon roll

Teru came highly recommended from my friend - who lives in the area - and is some of the tastiest sushi I've had! We ordered the yellowtail belly with uni and truffle (from the special menu), twilight roll, and dragon roll. The flavors of each were so complex yet complementary; I've never had truffle with sushi before, but it works! Our server Nomi was stellar, attentive even though dinner service was quite busy on a Sunday. Her colleague (didn't catch her name) also always made sure our water glasses were filled! The restaurant has several sushi chefs behind the counter, so you aren't kept waiting long for your order. Finally, I felt the pricing was very fair for the quality of the rolls served - yet another incentive to come back and try more! Granted, neither my friend nor I drink, so with the waters our tab came out to just under $40 per person. For yellowtail, uni, crab, and eel, what more could you really ask for?

Spicy Tuna on Rice Cake
Elise B.

Came here for dinner during the week and it was busy. We started with spicy tuna rice cakes, garlic edamame, and shrimp & vegetable tempura. The spicy tuna had a nice kick and the rice cakes were crispy on the outside. The garlic edamame had garlic slices mixed in with it. The shrimp & vegetable tempura were fresh and had a crispy batter. The OMG roll is a spicy tuna roll with crispy onions and yellowtail sashimi. The rolls are fresh and the menu is large enough to have a lot of variety. Parking- valet parking

The Fly fell into the sauce, crawled out, then fly away. I found it extremely entertaining and then asked for a new bowl of dipping sauce.

Our friend Christina Pope took us out for another stellar meal. This time it was Teru Sushi. Ambience was great as we were seated in the back garden area. It was a bit hot back there with the only drawback being a fly who decided to go for a swim in the gyoza dipping sauce, otherwise a great dining experience. Our server Josh was extremely attentive and did a wonderful job making sure everyone was taken care of and satisfied with our selections. The food was very good and well plated. The only complaint was everything came out at one time which made things a bit unmanageable for our 4 person table. I am glad there was only 3 of us.

The best sushi in studio city... HANDS DOWN! I have only eaten here for the past 2 years, and I can't say enough everything is clean, service is amazing, the atmosphere is beautiful! It's truly a gem! And it's the best family friendly and date night space you will ever come too!

Da Bomb Roll

Made reservation for day after Valentines, got right in on time. Everything we ordered was delicious and as fresh as can be. Service was great, attentive and appropriate. Ambiance was pleasant. Will definitely return!

Brittney p.

Favorite spot hands down. The food and service is always amazing, we love coming here! We always have the pleasure of having Maika as our server, she's always so kind and helpful but today she was in the front and greeted us with a welcoming smile. If you are looking for a place to have Sushi in the Valley make sure to go to Teru!!

Too busy of a place but yet two hostesses were not on point. From the get go service was slow , no menu delivery. After seated and what felt like an eternity I finally got menus & waters. Sushi quality and especially the rice here is great. When places get too busy the service slacks. Food came out of order placement and late. But I still enjoyed everything.

Studio City Rolls
Parker G.

Dinner date night at Teru Sushi was an absolutely wonderful experience! I loved the little entry walkway just outside that gives the feeling you've been transported away from Ventura Blvd with the relaxing little bench, pond, and other decor. The hostess inside was warm, welcoming, and had us seated immediately. Service from the waitress was also very quick and attentive with making sure we had any items or refills as needed. On to the sushi!! There were so many appealing sounding options from the creative menu names and accompanying descriptions, but we ended up going with the Sushi Combination, 'Studio City' rolls, and some Spicy Tuna Rice Cakes. For drinks, we did a Strawberry Nigori Sake, which was a deliciously light and fruity accompaniment to all our sushi! I loved everything we ordered, and also found the portions quite generous, with both of us being left very full. A few notes: For the Sushi Combination, I loved that it came with a little side of miso soup. Relaxing and soothing, miso soup is always a must for me at Japanese restaurants! Also, a lot of the sushi for the sushi combination plate had a bit of wasabi on them...that wasn't an issue to me, but if you're someone who doesn't care for wasabi, such as my partner, that may bother you a bit. The 'Studio City' rolls were definite highlights of the meal for the both of us - FULL of salmon, cream cheese, avocado, tempura batter, spicy mayo, AND more....it all went together surprisingly well and was an amazing fusion of flavor, creaminess, & slight heat that ended up working perfectly! The Spicy Tuna Rice Cakes were also very solid and delicious to enjoy! We loved everything we ordered for our dinner, and the 'Studio City' rolls are a MUST ORDER! From ambiance, service, and the sushi/other food itself, I highly recommend and will be returning in the future to try more menu options!

Teru Sushi is a must try! The ambiance is very intimate and the outside seating area has pretty scenery with foliage and a fish pond. I really appreciated their complimentary cucumber water and their soft spicy tuna rice! Has got to be one of the best! My favorite roll was the OMG Roll. Because OMG -- the truffle is everything! Our waitress was also very kind and gave us great recommendations for it being our first time visiting. I do wish the hostess' were more welcoming, but overall a great spot to check out!

This restaurant came recommend from a friend and it was my first time visiting. As my first impression, I would have given it 5 stars if the service was quicker. As far the ambiance, I would give is a 5. Love the seating arrangement and the interior design. A classic looking sushi restaurant with good food. Just wish the food is served a little quicker. I'll be visiting this place in very near future again to try other rolls and other menu items.

Good sushi spot with a very extensive menu with so many different rolls to choose from. Maybe too many rolls. They are very attentive and do a great job of checking on your table. The fish was fresh but the rice just a little on the hard side. I loved the OMG roll the best. They have cool little booths so even though you are right next to another table you are a bit separated. It's located on Ventura blvd so do yourself a favor and just pay the $8 for valet parking vs looking for a parking spot on the street.

Finally made it to this popular spot! There is a combination of indoor and outdoor table seating as…read morewell as indoor seating at the bar. We were seated indoors thanks for a reservation, which is highly recommended! This place pares back its offerings (in the best way possible) with a limited "specialty rolls" section, focusing more on the simple and high quality fish! Our server was incredibly kind, professional, and friendly. All of the staff would promptly refill our water as well as give us refills of our ginger. We ordered Ikura, Chu-Toro, and salmon Nigiri, albacore with crispy onion sashimi, a creamy salmon hand roll, and three specialty rolls. The three specialty rolls were the FatherKels roll (favorite by far), Garlic Albacore Roll (good, but probably would try something different next time), and the citrus roll (YUM!!). Very much enjoyed!

Fish quality is fresh and good. Prices reflect that, it's not affordable. Mid-range, not super…read moreexpensive either. Portions are not generous. Hard to find high quality and large cuts of fish in one place. I feel like if someone does pull that off they would never be slow. I didn't love the execution here and definitely felt hungry after. 8.5/10 albacore sashimi too much ponzu, quality fish 8.5/10 garlic albacore roll. Good execution 8.5/10 spicy tuna roll. 5/10 spicy tuna crispy rice & shrimp crispy rice, rice was rock hard and it needed more fish to rice for the appropriate ratio. Like 20% more fish, doesn't need to be crazy. How hard the rice was honestly ruined this dish for me. I love a good spicy tuna crispy rice 6/10 creamy salmon roll, onion overpowering it, fish was good tho

I've been to Shiki Sushi several times over the years, and after a long break I finally came back…read more I have to admit, this just isn't my preferred style of sushi--but that's more about my taste than the restaurant itself. If you're someone who enjoys traditional, high-quality nigiri and sashimi, this probably won't be your go-to spot. Shiki is all about comfort sushi: big rolls loaded with imitation crab, creamy sauces, baked toppings, and bold flavors. It's rich, indulgent, and definitely on the heavier side. That said, when you're absolutely starving and just want something satisfying that hits the spot, Shiki delivers. The menu is huge with endless options, portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable. Every time I've come here I've ended up ordering specialty rolls instead of actual sushi because that's really what this restaurant excels at. I also have to admit... baked rolls are one of my guilty pleasures. A lot of higher-end sushi restaurants don't even serve them because they're more of a comfort dish than traditional sushi, so Shiki scratches that itch perfectly. The service was exceptional--friendly, attentive, and quick, which always makes the experience better. Will I be back? Probably not anytime soon, simply because I usually crave a more traditional sushi experience. But compared to other restaurants in this style and price range, Shiki does an excellent job. If you're looking for filling, flavorful specialty rolls with great value, this is an easy 5-star spot.

I have been going to Shiki since it opened. It used to be friendly and casual. I went there on…read moreSunday night, there were 6 open tables and no line. I was rudely instructed to sign in on their tablet waiting system and told it was a 10 minute wait. I waited a few minutes and then I took my food and tip money somewhere else. What I used to like about Shiki was being able to walk up get a table quickly and sit down. It made dealing with the awful parking almost worthwhile. I will give it one more chance but if I need to sign in to dine they have lost me as a customer. Be nicer to your regular walk ins or lose them. There are plenty of other restaurants in the area.

The soup here is absolutely incredible. The 3K Seafood Miso Ramen (spicy ) has become my ultimate comfort food. To be honest, I barely ever try the sushi because the ramen became my favorite from the very beginning, and I always end up coming back just for it. There's seriously some kind of secret ingredient in it that gets people addicted. I also love the shishito peppers, the garlic spicy edamame, and their lava cake. I've tried the sushi a few times and it was good, but for me the real standout will always be the ramen. I come here almost every week or every other week and still never get tired of it. This is already my third year in a row coming here consistently -- there honestly hasn't been a single month where I haven't visited at least once. If you're looking for a luxury or trendy restaurant, this is probably not the place. The restaurant feels simple and casual, but the food is what keeps people coming back. The staff is always very kind as well. One small suggestion: the garlic edamame is amazing, but the garlic smell stays on your hands forever They used to provide gloves when we asked for them, but recently they haven't had them available anymore. I really hope they bring that back.

Instead of apologizing, Tori was rude, dismissive, and tried to shift the blame onto us by interrogating my husband on what he said. She had absolutely zero management skills, she was dismissive, and her condescending attitude was unbelievable. In my opinion, one of the worst decisions this restaurant has made was putting Tori in a management position. Her vile attitude, lack of customer service, and complete inability to handle a simple issue turned a loyal customer into one who will never return. One interaction with her erased years of loyalty.

Studio City, CA…read more Family dinner for an early Mother's Day treat - and what a great experience. I arrived ahead of everyone to secure a table, and even on a weekday the wait is 30 minutes - I guess no matter what day and time you come, there is always a wait.

The fish was fresh, flavors were very good, and I was so full I even handed off my last roll to my daughter. The only downside - inside is loud, you can't have a nice conversation, and I just wish the tables were spaced out more for comfort. So selfish of me to wish huh. It was a good dinner experience.
