This place is great! We just finished our second meal. The staff go above the level of customer service you'd expect in a casual eatery. From recommendations from the staff to checking on us multiple times during our meal, we have been so happy with our experience. The food is great too! We tried the curry udon which is amazing on a cool evening. Salmon bowl was a great bang for buck and yummy. Dinner special was a particularly good deal and the chicken was cooked perfectly! Considering how expensive it is to eat out now, they provide a great service and a delicious meal for your money. I can't remember everyone's names, but Juan was involved in both experiences and had great recommendations/provided wonderful service. read more

I recommend the poke bowl here- the portion was perfect and it was so delicious. I ordered ahead of time online and took mine to-go. The inside looked clean and was very busy but they had a separate line for online orders. read more

First visit to this location of Teri Cafe. Ordered my lunch to go. It was a fairly busy day but my order was delivered very quickly and it was delicious when I got home to eat. A very large outdoor patio makes me want to come back and enjoy my meal there next time. read more

Ordered the No 1 special (teriyaki chicken) and was thoroughly surprised at the amount of food ($16.99). California roll was good and freshly made. The miso soup was too salty. There was so much food leftover, we had to take it to go. All the waiter/waitresses provide excellent service, always checking if we needed anything. It was a good find. We would definitely come back. read more

We Love Teri Cafe, both locations. My family and I come here almost every other week. Great food, affordable price. The service is always good and very fast. Thanks you guys! read more

This is not Panda Express, so don't come here expecting that generic taste of flavors that come with it. This is TERI'S CAFE! The flavoring and seasoning is traditional to the dishes that they serve. The price point is fair--EVEN IN TODAY'S ECONOMY! What truly blew us out of the water, was the quality of customer service: fast, friendly, and the promptness of food being served. TRULY TRULY satisfied and had everything I was craving, and more!! Definitely making it a tradition to come here every Sunday now with my family. If I could give it 10 stars I WOULD! Made me and my husband happy! Lunch date was a success--Made our day! Thank you to all the staff at Teri Cafe! read more

Teri Cafe - Spicy Miso Ramen - Sushi Bars Near Me - Oceanside, California

This is my go to place for fast service, their food has very good flavor and best of all the staff is very friendly

Solid four star location. I thought both the sushi and ramen were really good. I did favor the sushi over the ramen. The place is nice & has indoor & outdoor seating. We came for Sunday lunch & the place seems to be doing good business as there was a good amount of people. San Diego has a lot of good sushi spots & certainly this place is good! I have other sushi spots that are my favorite but this place definitely does the trick if you're in the mood for good sushi. I wouldn't have any objections about coming back, I probably will. The rolls are decent size and range in cost but probably $13 is about average per roll. My wife liked the Tonkotsu Ramen more than myself but it definitely is less expensive /more filling ($10). Overall it's above average for a San Diego sushi spot, maybe slightly below average on the Ramen side & I didn't try anything teriyaki (I'm not a huge fan anyway). All that said, if you're in the area & you want a solid sushi restaurant, look no further. If you're looking for the best of the best- keep looking. Happy eating! read more

Great prices and menu - I enjoyed the teriyaki bowl and that is not usually my thing!

We love Teri Cafe & order there quite often. Their food is great & we are so grateful they've survived the pandemic, which isn't over. The problem is if you order online, you often have to wait in the long order line to pick up your order, which has been sitting for awhile. This place is busy & you may have to wait for several people to order. Before indoor dining restarted, they had an system setup where picking up your online order took no time at all or just a few minutes when someone was ordering to-go. So Teri Cafe please setup a table like before so prepaid online orders can be picked up without having to wait in line. read more

My favorite place to go and grab a quick bite! It's super affordable for all the food you get. The service is also very very quick and the food tastes great. It's one of our go to's. The ambiance is inviting and friendly. read more

Teri Cafe in San Diego! I had the Ten Zaru Soba the dipping sauce was a little light in umami. I also ordered the spicy tuna which did not disappoint.Having tried their sushi rice and sushi rolls, I can attest to the quality and care put into each dish. The sushi rice was perfectly cooked and had a delightful texture that complemented the freshness of the fish. The sushi rolls were creative and flavorful, showcasing a unique fusion of Japanese and Hawaiian influences that set Teri Cafe apart. The authentic Japanese-Hawaiian flair in their food is a refreshing and delicious twist. While my experience was great, there's always room for a little more refinement in presentation and service to reach that 5-star mark. Nevertheless, I'm excited to return and savor their delectable offerings again! read more

Yum, I want to eat here everyday. The lunch specials are a great price and you get a perfect amount of food.

My family, friends and I have been coming here for years and absolutely love it! The food tastes fresh, the restaurant is clean and the servers are the sweetest. You order at the counter and they give you your drink and then bring out your food to the table. Plenty of servers always on hand to wipe down tables, ask if you need anything, they are very attentive. I always get the dinner special which is a huge, generous plate of teriyaki chicken and rice , green salad, macaroni salad, miso soup and 8 pieces of California roll. I like that the Plaza location has a patio and is dog friendly. read more

I'm having a love/hate relationship with them right now. I loved their fresh sushi but was very disappointed in their crunch roll that had raw crunch bits on top and was soggy. read more

From the sushi to the ramen! This is my favorite Japanese place in town! Not only is everything favorable and fast but the customer service is top notch! They even held our birthday cake and were always asking how everything is going. So you order first when everyone arrives and the staff finds and prepares a table. They give you a number and they bring your food to you. 5-10 min your food is ready! read more

Teri Cafe - Banzai Vegetables with Chicken . I asked for no Carrots or Broccoli . Super tasty and low carb . No noodles or Rice . - Sushi Bars Near Me - Oceanside, California

Service is ok. Quality is going down hill, please let the cooks in the kitchen know they don't have to cremate the chicken. Especially to go order, we always noticed chicken got BURNED badly. Please let the cooks also know that we noticed they diluted togo miso soup with plain WATER, which make it doesn't taste same like when we eat in. Burn meat is a health hazard. Its business ethic. We have been frequent customers and we can see the difference. We just want to get what we paid for, we didn't go there for free food. The quality of food is what represent the face of the company. Please do business accordingly. read more

Teri Cafe - Burn Chicken & Beef Teriyaki burn - Sushi Bars Near Me - Oceanside, California

First visit, had lunch and it was way below average. I ordered the beef teriyaki & yakisoba which was a very poor representation of both dishes. The beef in particular appeared pan cooked and may have been reheated from the previous day. In no way was it marinated in teriyaki. Instead the dish is plain beef on top of noodles with a side bowl of teriyaki "dip". L I really dislike leaving a review of this nature for I realize the loss of business that comes about as a result. Instead I hope this is viewed as an opportunity for this business to step up their game. Personally I'd never return even if my meal was free. I had a few bites, left hungry and had lunch elsewhere. Unfortunately I was unable to speak with management due to the size of our group and not wanting to bring negative energy to the occasion. However I'm of the frame of mind that if you're in the restaurant business you should bring your best to the table. Sorry to say that this meal was far from it, but I guess that's what $14 gets you these days. read more

What the hell that I just came here after being locally 3 years. Service is top tier, food is quick and good, price is reasonable, hard to point any downside. read more

I have been here a number of times but have been remiss in not writing a review. This place is great! The food is reasonable, fresh and so good. I brought my kids to lunch here and it was the perfect experience again. My son and I got the steak teriyaki and chicken teriyaki plates which are huge and awesome. My pescetarian daughter got the salmon bowl which comes deconstructed but was amazing. Great local little chain that is DEFINITELY worth you time. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. read more

This place was recommended by a nurse I was working with. She inclined I try it since she was craving something from here. I ended up ordering the vegetable tempura plate with a side dish; cucumber rolls (not bad for only $5). When I received the vegetable tempura the portion was a lot! I was a little disappointed though because as soon as I got into my first couple bites, it was lodged in grease and left an after taste, eventually I lost my appetite and could not finish it - good thing I had the cucumber rolls. The place was busy, service was great, and the prices were affordable. The environment is more of a ramen/sushi bar with Hawaiian themed ambience, so in a way one would feel as if they were in an airport restaurant in Hawaii, at least I felt that vibe. The total came out to $29.50 for both our dishes. read more

I ordered the grilled salmon plate. The salmon was cooked to perfection & the miso soup was very tasty. Too bad the salmon wasn't bigger since the salad took much of the plate. I felt the staff was really courteous & attentive. Overall, a very good experience as I was with my family and met up with friends in the area. Definitely would go back! read more

Teri Cafe - House white rice - Sushi Bars Near Me - Oceanside, California

I ordered online and it was ready in about 15 minutes as promised. The pickup line was pretty quick and easy, the employee friendly and masked. I took my food home and was pretty disappointed. I'm not a person who enjoys spicy or very seasoned food, but I was shocked at how bland the katsu bowl was. I kept waiting for there to be flavor, and it never came. The chicken was soggy and the rice tasted cheap. I really wanted to like this place so I'm pretty bummed, but based on how the food tasted I will not be back. read more

Lots of choices to choose from so be ready to order when it's your turn. My wife choose the shrimp tempura meal and I selected the Saba (mackerel) meal. Both meals come with miso soup, potato salad, rice and mixed salad w/mayo dressing. My wife says the tempura was too oily for her and had a funky after taste. That funky taste made her lose her appetite. Bad for her, good for me ... I mean more for me. Ok, I'm kidding again folks. Check out my pics of the shrimp tempura. I love Saba (mackerel) and yes it does have a strong smell. So this is a biased review, sorry. Remember, it's all relative ... Hmmmmm??? Only $12 for this meal. Nice size Saba, cooked just right - crispy on the outside, moist on the inside - everything that came with this meal was good, well ... maybe not the mixed salad. Misses: Mayo dressing on the mixed salad was pretty weak. I prefer the ginger based dressing. Shoyu-vinegar dipping sauce ... Vinegar over powered the Saba too much. I prefer the subtle bitterness of the traditional grated daikon. (Japanese turnip) Hits: Lots of food choices to choose from. TV screens in the dining area. Outside seating is available. Staff is on the ball in keeping up with turning the tables. Plenty of parking. Easy to find. Prices are reasonable. read more

Love this place. It has been a regular feed stop for us for years. I would not call it a traditional sushi place, but the quality is very good for the price and the selection is great! From sushi and sashimi to ramen and teriyaki bowls, the portions are great and service is quick and attentive. The ramen bowls are tastey, large, and filling. All are a good option. The nice selection of ice cold beers on tap are great. The place is always filled with locals, which speaks for itself. Great family option!
