Fresh seafood and great customer service. I like coming here because it's always consistently good.

Best japanese restaurant in Lompoc, maybe including Santa Maria as well. First, the portions are very large. Second, the prices are reasonable. Third, the food is tasty. I like to eat lunch, I like the lunch and dinner special plates. I don't eat sushi rolls, I prefer sashimi, which is excellent here. I like the hamachi kama, it comes with two large portions of fish, plus rice, plus salad, plus miso. Chicken karage, a very large portion of chicken with sides. The rolls (if you eat them, which I don't) are very large. Sushi Salad: the sushi is fresh, it always tastes good, maybe ten pieces of fish with the salad, and the dressing is tasty. The place is pretty busy, they always have a crowd. That's a good thing. On the downside, sometimes the miso is just tepid, not warm enough. Watch the bill they do make mistakes, usually to the client's benefit though. read more

Love it here and go often! They have by far the freshest fish in town and the rolls are massive. Service is really good too.

Ordered a sushi roll and never received what I ordered. Store manager never apologized and smiled after Mentioning that I never received my food . Worse sushi spot to eat at. Customer service is horrible. Napkin crisis... read more

I love Sushi Teri, especially the Godzilla Roll. I frequent here with my friends from the office and the staff is always amazing ensuring we have a table that fits everyone and great service to make it back on our lunch break. If you don't see street parking in front they have a parking lot in the back. They are closed on Monday's and close mid day between lunch and dinner so check your times before you go. Great place in town for sushi :) If you are from out of town take a minute to walk across the street to the Chamber to check out the latest of what is going on around Lompoc. read more

I've been going to this place for a while now. I love the food and the prices are okay but the service leaves a lot to be desired. Don't come here if you are in a rush. I have a few favorites when I come here. I really like the Japanese Chicken Curry and Vegetables. Aesthetically it is not very pleasing to the eye, but the taste is wonderful. It comes served with rice and is very filling. The Big Daddy Roll is also very tasty. I usually have them cut it into 6 pcs (it comes as 5) so it is easier for me and the hubby to share. read more

Awesome grilled Salmon. Food was great and service to match. Nice to find a spot to eat last minute and that is open late. We were visiting from out of town and it was a relief to find a welcoming place to eat. read more

It's on the far end of the town but tiny and cozy. The staff are very nice there. They offer the best sushi with lowest cost in town. My favorite is Jalama Roll which is the baked scallop roll. It's soooooo good! read more

My girlfriends and I stopped here on a roadtrip and we are so happy we did! It was such a cute little stop and it was super quick too. Still, glad to try it to know for next time. Was definitely glad I tried the deluxe California roll for the first time. The shrimp was pretty chewy and I wasn't too fond of the chicken gyoza with the spicy sauce but the only options were chicken or vegetable gyoza. Still, the service was great and quick. read more

This place really isn't that pricey for sushi.. I would say the prices are appropriate. The reason for the low rating however is that all of the rolls taste the same. all of the rolls get this super sweet eel sauce all over it. I hate sushi that is sweet. Last time we went we asked for no sauce, and the rolls were almost flavorless. I would rather make the drive to Buellton and have out of this world sushi at Aru. Edit and update: My wife and her mother went here for lunch and were both served rancid fish, they took one little bite, and rejected the plate. Both of them were sick with food poisoning for 2 days. Many people I have spoken to lately say the quality has dramatically gone down hill with the new owner. read more

First off, I'm a sushi snob...this is amazing for the US..I can't give it 5 stars because nothing beats fresh sashimi at Tsukiji market in Japan. Their menu is lacking otherwise, but I think it's the result of catering to the American market. Go for the sushi/sashimi: large portions, fresh fish, and surprisingly inexpensive Props to the Japanese sushi chef at the bar--he is endearing, always amiable, and definitely remembers his best customers :) read more

The sushi is legit. Take MY word for it, as I am from 'The Real World'. The sad part of this story, is that this same location used to be a BBQ place a few years back. And the BBQ was killer: brisket, pulled pork, ribs, collards and cornbread and beans - you name it. Don't know how a place like this couldn't survive; guess the devout meat eaters here in town prefer tri-tip to anything else. Oh well - this is certainly their loss, as their food was KILLER. But getting back to Sushi Teri: To put it bluntly: this is a small, small town. There are few sushi places here, but this is the only one I will go to, since the first time I went, it became clear that the quality is high, the service is swift, and the wait staff, friendly. Not to offend (but likely I will), but by my 'real world' comment above, I meant that - I live in the San Francisco area. So that means: civilization. And with the plethora of sushi restaurant choices up there, you can be damn sure that I have taken years to find the ones I think are the best. That is why I am telling you - Sushi Teri is legit. For the locals, or the out of towners, this is where you wanna go if you live in town, if passing through, or if you find yourself holed up with your in-laws. Not many good places to eat in town (nor many choices besides fast food), so for those of you who demand something more, and can appreciate the raw fish, do yourself a favor - go eat here. You won't regret it. read more

We ordered food to go last night. Phoned it in at 6pm, requested it be ready at 7pm for pick up. When we got it home, it was COLD and STIFF as if they had made it immediately after we called and let it sit there for 45 minutes. It gets better....my husband had a spicy tuna hand roll that he ate first (it's his favorite), and started puking an hour later. He spent all night being sick on the bathroom floor. DISGUSTING!!! We used to love this place, but it has really changed with the new ownership and management. NEVER going back. read more

There are a lot of kind of sushi rolls. My friend and I tried three types of sushi rolls and they were all delicious! The waitress was good and friendly. Their parking lot is behind the restaurant. ウェイトレスで日本人の方がいらっしゃいます。英語が不安な方でも安心してお店に入り注文することができると思います。価格も比較的お安いので色々なお寿司を試してみるのもいいかも。広めの駐車場はレストランの裏にあります。 read more

Food: 1) eel roll: I LOVE EEL so this roll was AMAZING!!! The eel tasted really fresh and they didn't skimp on the amount of eat they gave you either! LOVED it! 2) spicy tuna roll: The tuna didn't taste super fresh to me and it wasn't really even that spicy. I didn't even taste any spicy flavor at all. But they did give you a good portion of tuna. 3) spicy yellowtail roll: Large chunk of yellowtail and it tasted fresh too but it wasn't spicy again! Ambiance: Cute little Japanese place. There was a sushi bar you could sit at or some booths with some stand alone tables. Pretty nice decor. Service: Nice and friendly! Price: Pretty cheap for specialty rolls. The bill came out to be around $30 (tax and tip included) which is pretty good considering I had THREE rolls and at other Sushi places, this would have been easily $50! Overall: I'm pretty happy with the place, I think I would totally come again! read more

Went there once on my last visit and we were glad we went towards the end... cause it was goooood! We stuck with the rolls (mostly nigiri) and had the tempura ice cream for desert. So, so tasty. read more

Deeelicious! Portions were large, I have never seen such plentiful sushi rolls. The Lompoc roll and the Mission roll were amazing. The menu had a few options of things that are deep fried, jalapeno-cheesy, and other unique combinations. Even something as simple as the Yellowtail tasted fresh - the seaweed was crunchy, just as I like it. Also, the beer selection was quite good. Great quality, great value. Affordable sushi still exists! read more

I am a new and temporary resident to the Lompoc area and always try to find one decent sushi restaurant wherever I go. I forget the name of of what I ordered but it is basically a big bowl with rice on the bottom topped two to three pieces of each type of fish. It costed $17.95 and was well worth the price. Never before have I had sushi as fresh as I had it here. I am impressed. As for the service, I sat at the sushi bar and was assisted very quickly. I didnt catch the name of the male waiter, but he was very fast, efficient and helpful with my menu choices. He was very aware of my beverage level and ensured I never went without drink, yet he didnt hover as some wait staff might. The sushi chef was very friendly and quick to prepare my order and also ensure that I was well taken care of. I read in a past review of this restaurant that someone had requested Halibut be put on the menu. Well, turns out they took his/her advice and added it. I hadn't had halibut in sushi form before and was quite impressed. Needless to say, I will be making more trips to Sushi Teri in the very near future. read more

I had the 5 piece Nigiri combo for lunch and it was okay +Military Discount read more

This was my 1st time here, as I just recently moved to Lompoc. The menu is extensive & it was hard to limit ourselves to the 2 rolls, Godzilla & Spicy Crab. They were delicious! Fresh ingredients & great flavor! The staff was very friendly & offered exceptional service! I'll definitely be back! read more

By far the best sushi place in Lompoc.... which isn't saying much for anyone who is used to Sushi outside of Lompoc... but says alot for those of us who live in Lompoc. Overall great sushi, prices are reasonable, service is fine. read more

Disappointing. We came here because of good experiences in the past. Our appetizer was delivered after the entree. The sushi smelled and tasted stale. One of our beers was flat. Overcooked salmon teriyaki. Excellent service (other than the reverse order of the ap) Clean Easy to find/parking Value to price is good. read more

My favorite sushi spot in Lompoc. Sashimi is always fresh and delicious. We eat there quite often and the staff is always friendly and provide great service every time. My husband and I usually stick with the sashimi, uni, Philadelphia roll and mission roll. So freaking good! The Philadelphia rolls have huge chunks of delicious fresh salmon. The mission roll is light, fresh and the ponzu highlights everything perfectly. Their salmon and yellowtail sashimi is to die for. The uni is AMAZING. Good size pieces for the price too! We are not fans of cooked or fried sushi so I can't say how those are. But, if you are into sashimi, definitely check this place out! read more

Hands down, the best sushi spot in Lompoc! It gets really busy here sometimes, so it's best to come early or get a reservation. Servers are always friendly and attentive. Hours kinda blow. Sad I can't enjoy sushi for lunch on Sundays. :/ I love, love, love their salmon sashimi. I always have to have it when I'm there. So fresh and the cuts are nice and thick! The Godzilla roll is also great and one of my favorites. Baked and with the perfect amount of sauce. I've probably tried every single roll on their menu and have to say, they are all delicious. Some are similar to others, but they all have their own unique touches. Green tea ice cream is a must-have when I'm here. Sometimes I'll get just the ice cream or I'll opt for the mochi. And if you're ever in the mood for a bigger dessert, get the tempura ice cream. Great place to enjoy sushi with good company. read more

Sushi Teri is a good local sushi place in the area. I had the salmon nigiri and it was pretty good. A friend had the salmon sashimi and I was surprised how big the cuts of meat were. I compare this to LA sushi(which is a little unfair), and would have to say it's not LA good. But for a local sushi place it's definitely good. I knocked out a star due to the service. I would come back though if i'm ever in the Lompoc/Vandenberg area read more

Sushi Teri is so cute! I have always loved it here but now that they serve Craft Ramen, it's amazing!

My friend took me to Sushi Teri last night to celebrate my birthday. From some of the reviews I've read I wasn't sure what to expect, but I love Sushi so I kept an open mind. I was far from disappointed overall. Though it was a Saturday evening and the place was very busy, we were seated right away. Our server was gracious and very attentive. My friend had shrimp tempura which looked delicious - four huge shrimp, lots of different vegetables, rice, soup and salad. I had a variety of nigiri and sushi rolls. Everything tasted fresh. If I have any complaint it's that they didn't have the option of fresh crab for the California roll, though they did have real crab for another roll. Only because of that I'm giving it four stars. I will certainly recommend Sushi Teri to anyone looking for a good Japanese meal in Lompoc! read more

Really good sushi for reasonable price, usually gets pretty packed! So if you don't want to wait show up before the crowd. They have really good sashimi salads. They don't have much parking because they're usually busy, but you can park on the streets. read more

This is definitely my favorite sushi place in town. We sat at the sushi bar and chatted with sushi chef while he prepared our delicious fresh rolls. Everything delicious. Service quick and with a smile read more

Pretty tasty. The scallops roll was my favorite of the three that I got. The "ocean salad" aka seaweed salad's portion size was way too small for 6.25 sooooo ipso facto, 3 stars. I thought out server was very friendly, a couple mistakes on the receipt but that was fixed immediately. The raw fish didn't taste too "fishy" and they handled the lunch rush just fine. I probably won't be coming back because I specifically crave sushi from here but I'd def eat here again. #protip 3 sushi rolls is a lot. seriously. Too much. 2 will probably fill you up read more

I came in close to closing and I was greeted as if they had just opened. Very friendly service and they even offered me something to drink while I waited for my order. Very accommodating! I did not know what I wanted and they took the time to explain each thing to me. Nice little quaint atmosphere. Looks very clean. read more

The nice thing about the restaurant that I immediately recognized was that the head chef was Asian! Hooray. I'm not trying to be racist, but you know the feeling. You want ethnic foods made by the originators. The biggest surprise was that the prices were very reasonable (which is hard to come by with a Japanese restaurant). You could easily eat a dinner entree for under $10. The rolls were reasonably priced, many in the range of $5-8 each. Of course, I ate $30+ worth by myself, so I guess for a normal person, it would be a good deal. I ordered myself a beef teriyaki entree that was ok. My mom made better teriyaki to be honest. For the price (under $10), it wasn't a bad deal though. I tried out 2 rolls, but the best I had was the Jalama roll. It was a locally invented roll that had baked baked scallops in a tangy sauce above what was essentially, a California roll. Not bad at all. My biggest gripe was that the fish was not the best quality. My friend told me that he overheard other patrons complaining about the same thing, so it wasn't just me. For very reasonably priced Sushi and Japanese food in the local Lompoc area, you won't be able to beat Sushi Teri. Even though it was not the most impressive food, I can see myself going back many times. read more

OK Sushi for Lompoc. Nothing to write home about. Portions are on the smaller side. Some of the sashimi was not that fresh. read more

I ordered the beef yakisoba; I received something that was decidedly not beef (unless Lompoc has some sort of mutant cows that have white meat instead of brown?). The waitress repeatedly tried to insist it was beef. Finally she said she would go check; she never did. I'm giving it two stars because the food still tasted decent, whatever it was... read more

First and last time we will ever go here. We were staying 2 nights in Lompoc for mothers day. Restaurant was not full and pretty empty. Service was bad. My wife ordered 2 sushi rolls. It took 40 minutes of waiting and we had asked the waitress twice to check on it. Finally after the 3rd time she came back and said the cook lost the order and had to put it in again. By this time we were already done with our food. When it finally came it was horrible. After one bite my wife had enough. The waitress never came back to ask how everything was. We had to ask the buss boy for the check. No one other than the buss boy was friendly. As we left no one thanked us or apologized. After spending over $100 I totally regretted it. Dont waste your tome or money here. read more

I'm vegan and asked for tofu in a meal to replace the meat. I was given white rice with 1 carrot and 1 slice of avocado and the tofu looked like it was literally just taken out of the package and sliced up and thrown on top. They did not even try to flavor it, It was the worst oriental meal I've ever had. I heard a lot of good things about this restaurant but don't think I will ever return. read more

We just had a great meal! Spicy edamame and 4 rolls... every single one was delicious. Giving five stars for good food and good value.

It's the place to go to if you want some good sushi here in this little town. I prefer this over any other here. Been coming here since 2016. The service are always good. Prices are fair. Has a good varieties of things on the menu. Love getting rolls and hot sake. The wines are also good. read more

Friendly, quick service (at least it was when I ordered take-out on a slow afternoon). Sushi is very good quality (not SF or LA quality, but hey, this is Lompoc after all), and the prices are decent. Rolls had a very good ratio of filling to rice. It's a godsend for those in search of decent food in the area. I'll definitely return when I'm in the area. read more
