Always love Sushi Teri when in town. We usually go to the Santa Barbara location. This was a pleasant surprise! We had a large family group ordering 1 offs left and right. They kept up with in stride. Thank you for a great family experience!

Back to Sushi Teri over the Memorial Day weekend, 5/2025. Definitely one of my favorite go to restaurants when visiting Santa Barbara. Review from years before below!
My sis and I visited 40 mins before close. We enjoyed the service, the food and drinks, and are planning our next visit. Can't wait to return🍣🍚!

The fish is good quality - prices are very reasonable - service is good. Get there when they first open. Their 'take-out' business combined with 'eat-in' makes it a busy & popular place. B+

Got shrimp sashimi, it tasted really off, let the server know and asked if it was fresh, server asked the back, came back and said it might taste weird because the shrimp is raw. Duh.
Anyways other than that fiasco the salmon sashimi was not bad! Very thin pieces though, not worth the price. I probably would not return.

Sushi Teri is always a win! Fresh, flavorful, and such a great value—especially for the Santa Barbara area. The menu has so many fun options (the special rolls are stacked!), and everything is made with care. I like the Bath Street and Dragon rolls—both are absolutely delicious, with that perfect balance of creamy, crunchy, and just the right amount of sauce. The staff is super kind and quick, making it easy whether you’re dining in or grabbing takeout. It’s my go-to spot when I’m craving sushi that’s high-quality and affordable. Definitely a local gem!

Extensive menu with something for everyone. Primarily Japanese menu but a few Korean and other Asian dishes as well.
The food was overall ok, nothing that stood out as exceptional (bland in fact for some of it) and some items are quite expensive.
☛Handroll special - large rolls, basic, comes with soup or salad. Opted for the salad (cabbage) is huge and quite simple but good. ☛Spanish mackerel nigiri on special, good but not worth the price. ☛Sweet shrimp, basic but decent. ☛Spicy veg roll (avoid, disappointed). ☛Sea Urchin, fresh but expensive. ☛Beer, served cold in a frosty mugs (how it should be).

Just okay. Food was okay, service was okay and the atmosphere was okay. Everything was just okay. Pretty slow on getting our food but the nice server guy was very apologetic. I wasn't a fan of the rock fried calamari, it was weird. Top roll was good. My sister liked one of the dragon rolls. My brother-in-law got a HUGE portion of chicken katsu curry that he liked. Overall, it was decent, but I probably wouldn't come back.

Great food, friendly service and new, much better atmosphere. The remodel of the place was a great addition. Feels much more professional. Like the new menu items, too.
So much food!!! The Teri chicken is my favorite here. I love the cabbage salad with dressing, which they serve separately so you can choose.
