Clean and friendly! Huge menu of Asian entrees and sushi dishes to choose from. All of their dishes have one thing in common which is all include a HUGE quantity of food. Most dishes are large enough to be split!

Sushi Teri has been a mixed bag of tricks their whole life. The food is great, comforting and delish. The service is mid, but what the hell. They can NEVER get the sushi bar food and kitchen food synchronized. Sometimes hot food first, then sushi then appetizers. No shits given, what comes out, comes out. When with a gathering of people it is a disaster of some eating, some waiting, some wondering if their order was even received. Again...WHEN it arrives it is great.

Great spot. Sushi, beer and great company...is there anything better? PS...the noodle soups are the bomb.

We had an excellent meal of sushi here at Sushi Teri. I was very impressed with the speed of the service. We had a reservation for 6:30 and we were basically done eating by 7:30. Everything was really delicious. Our server was friendly and very helpful at accommodating my son's food preferences. My favorite sushi roll was the Girl's Night Out.

My 11 year old daughter is infatuated with sushi and she started 6th grade today so I thought what a treat . So the two of us and a few close friends made the trip out to Sushi Teri in Goleta . We should have known this was going to be a bad experience from the beginning . After being seated it was a longer than usual wait for even water. After waiting a additional 5-10 min are server arrived and took both drink and food order for the table. Drinks arrived followed by the appetizers , 15-20 min later the food arrived well some of it . We waited around and watched other tables eat and leave mind you they'd been seated 20 min after are table. No server in sight only a busboy who was trying his best to help . Usual you a check in how is everything or can I get you anything, not here. At the 45 min mark I asked the busboy because he was the only one who seamed to care what was happening. I explained that most of the food we ordered hadn't arrived at the table he commented He thought he saw it sitting there for a while. A person who we believe to be the manager approached the table and insisted he delivered a poke salad he never did all the plates remained on the table as proof mainly due to the poor service. One would think the manager would make things right,maybe some sort of discount or comp or even offer to package up the rolls that were never served, that's how you take care of misshaps make it right. I will never recommend this poorly run place to anyone !!! What a disappointment ! It's unfortunate my daughter had to leave hungry due to your incredibly slow and terrible service !!! What a disappointment !!! So much for the special treat thanks for ruining this day .

Appetizer and entree came so fast we were shocked. Sushi was super good, staff was nice and we had multiple people check on us throughout our meal.

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.
