Sushi Teri - Santa Barbara Japanese Restaurant in Santa Barbara

Excellent Japanese food option while in SB. Reasonably priced, food came out quick, wait staff was attentive, and the outdoor seating area was comfortable and nice. We ordered a 2 item bento and about 5 rolls. The only weird thing was its the first time in my 40+ years where I had to cut my own steak and chicken at a Japanese restaurant. In any part of the world. Japan, US, etc. Not a deal breaker, because it still tasted good.

Sushi Teri is a great go to for a quick sushi meal! The sampler platter was a good assortment of flavors and textures, while the shrimp chow mein had great noodles and tender shrimp. The chicken and grilled veggies were perfectly seasoned and grilled to perfection. The chicken teriyaki was tender and juicy without being too sweet, and the poke bowl was the best dish overall. To top it off, a bottle of rose complemented the meal beautifully. Sushi Teri is a great option for a quick meal and a reasonable price.Only downside is the restaurant on Bath street is small and you might have to wait fir a table.

Fried Veg Spring Rolls was good and not too oily, good starter choice.Waitress suggest the Sushi Samples Dinner for Main, coleslaw salad was tasty, Miso soup was ok, like a fish broth (not something I would have ordered but atleast tried it), sushi was fresh and good, bit basic and would have gone for something else if I had known. They have a big sushi selection.Hubby had the Chicken noodle dish, I had a bite, that was the better choice.Waitress was friendly but had to be new as she didnt know when questions were asked. Food came out promptly.Overall, I would go back to try a different dish than the one I had.

Great spot for casual sushi!This restaurant caters to those nearby who might be looking for a convenient meal. While it’s definitely not top notch sushi quality, everything we had tasted good and did the job. Our server was a bit clueless when it came to recommendations and general service but perhaps they were new. While the quality of the fish was alright, the consistency and texture of the rice (and some of the fish) made me think perhaps it wasn’t the most fresh. I would also appreciate a more spacious spot that might not feel as cramped as this one.There are so many sushi restaurants in town that might offer higher quality at similar pricing, but for minimal wait time and a quick meal, this might just be your best bet!

Worth the walk to get out of the more tourist filled spots. Outstanding sushi and rolls, great patio. Casual vibe.

Small Japanese restaurant with limited parking. Very good sushi and terryaki meals. They do a lot of to go orders and the service is always good. Try the Bath St. Roll .Still very good and I think better pricing and quality than Goleta.

Excellent service. The sushi came out faster than ANY other sushi restaurant we’ve been to in the US! Rolls were very good! My only complaint was the individual slices were slightly too thick. But that is a personal preference, not really bad on their part.

Excellent service in a clean setting with a traditional feel and amazing chefs. Not one bite of unsatisfactory food!! Everything was perfection!! I highly recommend visiting Sushi Teri anytime you are in the area!!

Good portion sizes and great value for the price of the food! Chicken and beef teriyaki was good, unfortunately sushi didn’t deliver to our expectations.

Sushi Teri is iconic in Santa Barbara, it’s a safe bet for a first date or family dinner. Quality is not the highest for the price, but the environment is what you pay for. Overall food is solid, but there are other options with the same quality but better price.Service is good and environment is definitely worth it!
