Calamari
Tracie M.

This is my daughter's recommendation for dinner when I visited her at college. She loves it so much that we went here two nights in a row for dinner. She loves the sushi here so her go to is the Orange Dragon roll and Spicy Salmon Handroll. I've had their Galbi Beef Plate but my favorite was the Korean BBQ Ribs- full of flavor and cooked to perfection. Service was great and attentive. Will be back.

Samurai Sashimi (top to bottom): Tuna, Yellow Tail, Salmon and Albacore
Peter M.

On my day train trip to Goleta from the SFV, I was diligently covering the culinary bases. I started at one eatery for breakfast, then another food spot for appetizer, which was followed by my third base for lunch, at Sushi Teri. It is a small well appointed dining space that has a good vibe and welcoming serving staff. After reading a menu outside, I decided on the Samurai Sashimi special. It came with two pieces each of Tuna, Yellow Tail, Salmon and Albacore. Accompaniments were seaweed, cucumber, radish, ginger and wasabi. The presentation arrived swiftly and was well poised for picture taking. My stay here though, was a totally different matter. All four pieces of fish were not adequately sauced, half with, the other half without. Clearly, a lop sided job, to get the dish expressly to the table? Then, the sashimi pieces themselves were bad cuts, some of which were internally membranous. Never had this happen at other restaurants. The albacore portions had clearly visible outer membranes (see my picture). Finally, the ambiance. Both the behind the counter sushi chefs were conversing between themselves in a very loud manner, so much so, that you could hear them throughout the restaurant. I mentioned it to the server, who quickly stated that he could not do anything about it. Really? On top of that, they do have WiFi, that too was scanty, unreliable and dropping the signal repeatedly. Overall, a disappointing dining experience. Oh well.

Great place for a quick lunch. We sat in the patio - they've also added additional outdoor seating on the side near the parking lot. Staff was friendly. Rolls were delicious.

Food was great!! Had the popcorn salmon, highly recommended. Service was great, friendly and quick. Great for families and couples too. Not loud inside, which was nice

Broken Heart, Girls Night Out, and Hobe roll (left to right)

Solid sushi, quick service and good atmosphere! A great sushi option in Goleta with a large variety of rolls and some dishes. The spicy edamame slaps btw

Teriyaki and Tempura
Mark Y.

When you enter Sushi Teri you are greeted by a friendly staff and a clean yet generic decor. I ordered a tempura and teriyaki chicken combo with a California roll. It came with a huge cabbage salad (which consists of cabbage and thousand island dressing). The California roll was perfectly done, with a hint of sesame in the rice to eliminate any potential blandness. The teriyaki chicken was well made. Lightly sauced, not smothered. There was a variety of fresh tempura vegetables and giant ball of rice. LOTs of food. Their wasabi is fairly tame, but I'm not really complaining. Overall, a nice place at a good price.

Red Dragon Roll, Uni, Ikura, Salmon
Katie P.

Very average sushi restaurant considering it's Santa Barbara. I ordered the Red Dragon Roll, Salmon, Sweet Shrimp, Ikura (Salmon Roe), and Uni (Sea Urchin). The red dragon roll was cut disproportionally where some sizes were significantly larger than others. The description stated that it would have avocado inside and I was disappointed to note that it was simply a slice of avocado smeared over three pieces of the entire roll. The presentation was an absolute disaster. The salmon roe was not only fishy but also salty and wet as if it were left in the fridge for days. Additionally, I found a fish scale inside my ikura. It was not fresh by any means. The sea urchin was disappointing as the taste and aftertaste were both odd and not sweet. For $15 for two, I'd recommend hopping over to Sun Sushi for better quality sea urchin for the same price. The salmon nigiri deserves an honorable mention as the saving point of this meal. While this may be one of the better sushi places in Goleta, I'd highly recommend making the extra drive for Sun Sushi or Oku. While it may be a bit more pricey, the quality of their fish is definitely better.

Gave me a bunch of sauces but not the ones I ordered which is hilarious. Portions are very skimpy also.

That was no problem for us because we were craving a chashu bowl and some chicken karaage! This was different from other chashu bowls I've had. This one was more balanced with fibrous ingredients like apples and lettuce. It was amazing regardless! I can't wait to come back again!

The tonkotsu ramen is the star. I always get the Kuro with the black garlic oil, which is hands down my favorite. The broth is incredibly thick, rich, and full of flavor. You can really tell the quality of the pork and the care that goes into the broth every single time. My dad usually goes for the classic tonkotsu with garlic, and it is just as solid and comforting. I always add extra pork, corn, scallions, a little spice, and extra black garlic oil. That black garlic oil takes it to another level with this smooth, garlicky, creamy depth that is unreal. Portions are generous for the price, which makes it even better. Service was excellent. Our server was friendly, attentive, and quick, from taking our order to refilling our drinks. We felt taken care of the whole time. If you are in the Santa Barbara area and looking for a reliable, high-quality ramen spot with amazing broth and great service, this place is an easy recommendation.

Always coming back here time and time again. Great prices , even better food. Cute spot for a date…read morenight or dinner with friends. They have private rooms that are so cozy ! Came in close to closing and the service was still great , didn't feel rushed . The tempura calamari was the best i've had in a long time . I honestly didn't know calamari could be tender , i've only ever had very chewy bites before . This was not that , so succulent and thick and tender , perfect tempura. Absolutely delicious. Spicy edamame was also delicious and had the sauce on the side which was nice , but wow !! spicy !!! Most places spicy edamame usually isn't that spicy but they mean it. Still a great flavor ! The combination sushi i will always get , you really can't beat it . 25$ gets you a california roll , which is thick !!! So decadent and delicious, they also give a generous amount of masago on top which taste super fresh . You also get a Maki tuna roll , so yummy and the flavor is addictive. 7 types of nigiri with a amazing fish to rice ratio , not even sure what all kinds you get but omg is it so worth it . I always thought i wasn't a fan of fattier tasting cuts of fish but this stuff just melts in your mouth . Also you get a ginger salad and miso soup !! I absolutely love the miso soup here , creamy broth with tofu and seaweed. Fried Shumai , so flavorful and perfectly cooked . All of their baked rolls are delicious, no misses .This is by far my fav sushi spot in santa barbara.

It was an open layout that had plenty of seating inside the restaurant. The decor was moder, but not overdone. We were greeting and pointed to a table but that was it. We realized there was a QR code on the table and we could order our food on there. It took a little while to get our food even though no one else was there. I found it really odd to not even be told to use the QR code to order or be informed of anything. Stewed beef noodles with Ramen- 9/10 My husband ordered this and I tried some. The broth was delicious. Rich and flavorful but not overbearing. The noodles were cooked perfectly and the meat was tender. The bok choy was a needed touch. My husband ate the whole bowl and wanted a second because was so good. Certified Angus Beef hot pot- 8/10 I ordered this with the tom yum broth. I didn't know it was a creamy version of the broth until it was served. I'm not mad about it but it wasn't in the description in case others are dairy sensitive. The broth was flavorful and really delicious. I will say that the beef was tough and it a typical cut that overcooked very quickly in the broth. I'm not positive it was Angus beef grade. I just now realized it was missing the lotus root but gave me zucchini instead. I was also missing my quail eggs. If I didn't read the description to know I was supposed to have them, I would've missed that too. Overall, the food was delicious but the service was 1 star for sure. We were never checked on and the waiter only appeared if we pushed the call button. If you can overlook the lack of customer service, the food is really delicious.

I'm looking forward to the rainy season when I can really leverage their Hong Kong-style hot pot!
