Mad at myself i didn't know about this gem sooner. Mom & Pop restaurant and a very familiar atmosphere with an abundance of Japanese restaurants growing up in southbay & Hawaii in the late 1990's. You'll find the owners making their rounds working hard. Food is solid and nostalgic. Menu is extensive from sushi to bento to soup, as with most Japanese eateries, but they don't skimp on quality or portions. Support local. I love that they're still in business over 40 years. Will be back for more! Edited: Wife and I had our "ratatouille moment" whilst enjoying the food yesterday. I need to share this spot with all my friends and family - hope this restaurant stays alive for many more years to come. read more

I went to Bamboo Teri House yesterday after getting my nails done next door and decided to grab something quick to eat. I ordered the two-combo plate with noodles and salad, and went with the chicken katsu and ginger chicken. The food was pretty good. Nothing super fancy or over-the-top, but definitely a solid meal for a decent price. The place was actually pretty packed when I went, which is usually a good sign. I ordered to go, so I can't speak much about the full dine-in service. But the employees at the register were very helpful and really nice, especially when making recommendations. One thing to know is parking is not great. There's very limited parking in that area, so you may have to circle a bit or park nearby. I'd recommend it if you're looking for a good, casual meal that won't break the bank.

Bamboo Teri House has been serving the Long Beach community for over forty years and it's something that we need to continue to support! While they do have sushi rolls that you could sample at a discount for happy hour before 5pm, it's the teriyaki and Japanese Curry that I crave from here. For a little over $30 on a Tuesday, I was able to get (1) a "Funtastic Tempura Bowl" ($12.60) for shrimp/vegetable tempura, teriyaki chicken, rice, and noodles, (2) a teriyaki chicken bowl ($12.50), and (3) a plate of vegetable tempura with six pieces ($6). This was easily enough for my wife and I, and we felt that it was a great value. I intend to take my coworkers here with me on weekday happy hour before 5pm for some appetizers and $14 Sapporo pitchers. Overall, I think they have pretty filling rice bowls, and I hope that this place stands for another forty years; however, that will depend on the community continuing to support it! read more

Solid little spot for some affordable, delicious eats. Crowded and a little cluttered, this place gives off some longstanding lowkey local vibes. But remember, you're not coming for some super chic ambiance, you're coming to fill your belly in this economy. Their ichiban dinner special has a whole lotta variety for ~$16: chicken teriyaki on rice, katsu, some tempura, a couple maki, a gyoza, a spring roll, and seaweed salad all neatly packed in a bento. I got the Super Bowl (~$14), which was chicken teriyaki, two pieces of tempura, a couple pieces of their sesame chicken (bomb), and steamed veggies. I was expecting more than two baby carrots and a broccoli floret for my veggies, but shouldn't complain -- they were very generous with the protein. The Mini Bowl (~$9) had rice, yakisoba, chicken teriyaki, and sesame chicken as well. It seemed like a good amount of food for a reasonable price tag. All together, our family of 4 was able to eat for about $60. Supporting a local business in the process? That's definitely a win. read more

On one hand, I want to gate keep this place because I don't want it to get too crowded. However, I need them to stay open so I have to share. I've been going to Bamboo Teri House for over 24 years. I love sushi and no matter where I go. I always compare any new sushi I'm trying to Bamboo Terri House. Always fresh, always prepared well with the perfect amount of seasonings for all their dishes. The way they add the tempura to make any sushi roll crunchy is perfection. I don't want to start naming the rolls because they are all so yummy! I've never had a bad roll here. Even though they went up on the pricing, it's still very reasonable. You can get some great deals with their specials or happy hour. It's small but quaint. They always keep everything clean and they periodically update the decor. I will keep coming back here for the sushi, the noodles, salad, miso soup, teriyaki chicken, tempura, etc. By the way, the tempura here is crunchy and not greasy, simply delicious. The staff is consistently awesome. If you know you know! They are one of the best! read more

This little hole in the wall has been around forever and has some of the best food. The prices are somewhere between fast food and sit down restaurant.

Ok so talking about what "Authentic Japanese food" - since 80's this restaurant is owned and run by a Japanese couple from Japan. They have so many variety of food you can think of (or even more than you know!) and now, they have that loving Matcha Late too (hey Starbucks?) and series of good Ramen, which the owner pursuit for the best noodle and soup for that. Sushi - been always taste good Japanese sushi (because, you know, some other places, they don't taste fish at all) and this time I tried "Miso Salmon roll" for the first time, and It was soooooo GOOD!!! Waiting time is nothing to complain! Thare are so many more menu that I need to try, so I will be back for my ... maybe like 30th time, soon next month. :) So funny when I was eating lunch there last Friday, 3 friends coincidentally came to come eat at the same time! Love this place!!! read more

This is my FAVORITE Japanese restaurant to go to! I work nearby and all of us get it at least once or twice a week for lunch. They're always so kind, very mom and pop feel.

Honestly it's not bad food genuinely. I've came here twice it's not bad, it's cute lol the environment or ambiance is chill. But the issue? The service. To get into the good, (don't know names so forgive me) There was a short (for me I'm 6'1) Asian girl. She was really fun, was engaging, and very sweet. I've came in with my mom once, and my mother and sister the other time. The problem? Well the 3rd time we came in there were two Hispanic looking women. They seemed to be friends as they were talking about something when we walked in, they kinda kept talking while we stood in-front of them so we sat ourselves (keep in mind we're the only ones here. It's like 5pm) on weds 22. Anyway we're sitting for a good minute or two. No service no mention. So we just get up and leave through the same front door we walked in. They're still talking to each other. So lowkey they're the reason for the 2 loss of stars cuz the place is lowkey a damn 5. But those two kinda soured the mood and I don't think we'll be back for a while. read more

Bamboo Teri house is a Long Beach staple. It's a small Mom and Pop shop that is packed with a punch. You can come here and get a 5 course meal for under 15 bucks. Steal! Make sure you check out their lunch specials. You can get a little bit of everything. This isn't a fancy joint but guaranteed good, cheap meal. I love the woman who runs the front. She is the sweetest and is so warm and welcoming. Stop by here and check them out! Watch out for the limited parking. It's on a small strip mall with not much parking read more

Bamboo Teri House - My sister ready for her delicious bowl - Japanese Near Me - Long Beach, California

Bamboo Teri House was the favorite restaurant that the lovely missus frequented when she was working in Long Beach. That was many many years ago and we have been back several times. Today was that occasion where we were exploring the Bixby Knolls area and the missus abruptly said "Bamboo Teri House". Parked right up front and we were met with friendly smiles by perhaps 2nd or 3rd generations from the original family Mr. Joji Ota. The place is definitely still running smoothly. The missus orders the 2 combi plate of Chicken Teri with mixed Tempura, green salad and pan fried Noodles. I ordered the identical but added Full CA Roll and help yourself fountain drinks. We were assigned #8 for a dining table inside. The CA Roll was a plumpy right mix ratio of crab/avocado/sticky rice. Our mokunochi type tray was filled with fresh greens and edamamy and slivered thin cucumbers. The pan fried noodles were a simple preparation that had onion, julienne carrots and a nice touch of shredded cabbage. On the corner we have the sweet potato and a big chunk of zuchini and a couple of long cut shrimp all in panko batter. The main entree of tender grilled chicken strips was covered by an extra coating of sweet and thick teriyaki sauce. We helped ourselves to another cup of drinks as well as a couple of wrapped Fortune Cookies on the counter. The service was outstanding and the orders we had came quickly. A very happy memories filled dining experience as we shared some stories with the young family members. We won't wait so long before going back to the Bamboo Teri House.. read more

Came in for a 3rd time and I must say they are very consistent. I ordered a classic chicken teriyaki bowl every time and it was ALWAYS delicious, the chicken is very tender not dry at all very moist but you still get a hint of that Char taste from the grill. The teriyaki sauce they use you can tell they make in house super savory and not to sweet, and last but not least the rice VERY VERY VERY GOOD rice it's not dry at all very moist and fluffy as it should be, not to mention the restaurant is very nice and clean and give you that old school feeling. I eat teriyaki a lot and this is definitely at the top of the list right now. Almost forgot to mention they are very nice and polite and service is fast, the service is great! Definitely will be my go to spot for lunch. read more

Bamboo Teri House - Oriental chicken salad (the dressing OMG) - Japanese Near Me - Long Beach, California

If you grew up in Long Beach, then you've already been to Teri House, and you know you love it. (Yup, they've been shining since 1985). If you're in town or passing through, then of course I'm gonna say, what are you waiting for? Go during happy hour, and try everything. If you wanna fill up and feel good: go for the 2 item combo: chicken teriyaki, mixed tempura (the shrimp is perfectly cooked every time), steamed rice, a fresh green salad with edamame. And, I'll have a pint of Sapporo on draft, thank you very much. My tween and teen grew out of the very hearty kids meal: chicken teriyaki/katsu, 2 California rolls, noodles, rice, sweet potato fries (or substitute for 1 sweet potato tempura), Teddy Graham crackers, Jello, and a toy candy of their choice (they bring the candy basket after they finish their meal). This is the best kids meal in town! (No crappy fast food chain items) It's real food, because children deserve that. There's something for everyone. Quality time with my 13 year old can sometimes look like bonding over delicious food (this is a kid who made from scratch "sweet potato burgers"). She says, if she could, she would drink the matcha iced tea with a scoop of vanilla ice cream in the morning every day in the same way adults drink coffee. She cracks me up. read more
