Well, let me tell you... If u go over there expecting something out of the ordinary... U R Wrong! Ordered a dinner plate that came with: - teriyaki chicken - California roll - potato salad - green salad - rice - soup And to be honest, the only thing that I ate was the roll and the soup... After getting astonished by the size of the plate I try the roll first and it was great, but then I tried the rice with the teriyaki chicken and the sauce was horrible!!!!! It felt like it was mixed with water or something so it could cover more people! Disgusting flavor that not even with soy sauce I could hide!! Again, it's REALLY a good serving, but it's not the best in Oceanside... read more

Love this place, used to go here a bunch in high school when they were at a different location. I usually get the teriyaki chicken bowl, it's never a miss! If you are a family on a budget looking for really good food an portion sizes, plus a good atmosphere and nice staff, this is the spot. Oh! and there are so many options to choose from. I go back every time I visit my family. read more

Teri Cafe - Teriyaki chicken bowl w veggies. $5.75. - Ramen Near Me - Oceanside, California

Terriyaki beef sirloin & chicken are nicely done tasty, though fried rice not good, standard rice bowl is better taste and value. Yakisoba fried noodles has plenty vegetables more than noodles. Shoyu ramen broth is better than tonkatsu, pork is tender flavorful yummy! Recommend terriyaki beef rice bowl, shoyu ramen. read more

Always loved coming here for years. A good variety for their menu and some authentic Japanese noodles. If you're looking for soup on a cold day, Try the ramen and udon! My go to would be the spicy miso ramen because I like a little bit of a kick. Beef udon is a great choice too the noodle quality is fantastic. Craving some fish? Then try their sushi and poke menu. The Oceanside bowl is a must try so refreshing and the fish is great quality for the price that you're going to be paying for. Wanna try something new? Try the tonkatsu Don. It's a pork cutlet with egg in a rice bowl and as a bonus it comes with miso soup! So filling and flavorful. Pair it with some spicy mayo you won't regret it. Teri cafe is one of those Oceanside staples. Locals love coming here and tourist do too. If you're looking for seating however I recommend try not to eat during rush hour as it's open seating so you might have to wait a bit but other than that, if you're ever in Oceanside come try! read more

!!!!!!METAL IN MY FOOD!!!!!! I always order the Miso Ramen soup and due to Covid-19, Teri Cafe was closed for a while. They finally opened back up, but take-out only. I was super excited to eat my soup UNTIL I BIT ON SOMETHING HARD. I took it out of my mouth and it looked like a piece of a metal screw, but it was definitely metal. IMAGINE if I ate that?!!! I 100% would've sued the restaurant. I have to let other people know to PLEASE WATCH WHAT YOU EAT HERE!! It blows my mind how the kitchen people can mess up an order of soup (??????) I will be reporting them to the health department as well and will NEVER come here EVER AGAIN. Unbelievable. I truly wish that YELP had a 0 star option. read more

I used to love this place for their ramen, and then I went to an actual professional ramen restaurant. I realized then and there that Teri cafe is, and I know my friends will hate me for this but, overrated. Their sushi is still good though. read more

My favorite go to "fast food" place. Always fresh and many options to choose from depending what you're craving! A favorite that has been regularly ordered now by my dad, bro and I is the Oceanside Bowl! It's a combination of Ahi Tuna with Salmon Poke, the mixed seaweed is just right and topped with avocado pieces! I could eat this everyday is I could afford it daily! Haha the specials are always good and filling! I love the rice it comes with too! If not the Oceanside bowl, other favorites are the Beef & Chicken Teriyaki bowls/plate, the Yakiniku Stir Fry Beef, mixed tempura and the Banzai Ramen! You can always call ahead for pick up, this place can get busy when you least expect it and of course during dinner time! read more

This Teri Cafe has good food like the one in Vista, but man, it is the incredible view from the dining room that makes the dining experience at this place so much more enjoyable. read more

Delish food served quickly and efficiently, public health protection in place to keep the community safe. Great food and great prices. Nice view of the golf course on the southeast side of the restaurant. read more

Been a teri regular for years. Everything is top quality. Can't go wrong with anything. If I was on death row, my last meal would be from teri cafe. read more

Really mediocre ramen, not going to try with anymore "ramen" places in North County. It was literally miso soup with ramen noddles, just a disgrace to what ramen is and what I can get in Kearny Mesa. Skip this place overall and go eat somewhere else, you can get much better tasting ramen from the instant ramen packs they sell at Dyso. read more

Second chances... Are a great thing, I first went to Teri-cafe almost a year ago in vista..and I wasn't too thrilled about it... I decided I wanted teriyaki for dinner, so I went to this location in carlsbad/oceanside... This place has a nice atmosphere and the decor has a Hawaiian look to it and cozy to dine in, and the staff is responsive and friendly.. They work hard and they move fast. I ordered the chicken and beef teriyaki dinner plate that comes along with salad macaroni salad white rice and a garnish of orange....all very tasty and fresh. I don't eat sushi so I'm not sure about the sushi here,. But I will come with someone that does eat it on my next visit. All in all it is a pleasant experience .. And I will be definitely coming back soon. The only thing that I do not like about this place is that they close at 9:00 pm on a Saturday,?! I guess the staff needs time to go out at night or maybe they are family owned and like to give people time to do things for themselves. Either way,.. You should come here!!! read more

Teri Cafe - Beef and chicken teriyaki platter with sides and miso soup! - Ramen Near Me - Oceanside, California

This is one of my favorite places to eat! The parking lot is a bit strange, but there is a lot of room. The service here is super nice! The lady that normally works the register knows my usual order which is a plus and suggests lots of good things to try! Ive been eating here since i was a kid and i still haven't tried everything on the menu! The prices are fairly low too, which is great for a student. The portions here are huge as well! I can take down a ton of food and always have something to take home! The sushi is always good too, and the combo plates remind me of home cooked dinners dad makes! The beef yakisoba is really good! The oceanside bowl is another treat if you like fish! As the weather cools down though, the soups are perfect! The banzai ramen is good if you like vegetables, but the spicy miso ramen is the best ( my dinner tonight! ) read more

Teri Cafe - Spicy miso ramen is the best thing when the weather cools down! - Ramen Near Me - Oceanside, California

The establishment is located in a busy area with hard to find parking. It took us almost 15 minutes to get a parking spot. The food was actually very good so I feel it was worth the parking struggles.. The service was quick and staff very friendly. Our orders came out quick, fresh and plentiful. I have nothing negative to say about the restaurant and food. Foodies, check this place out! read more

Beware on the skimp thin sliced chicken the to go orders sad been going here for years didn't think I would ever have to write something like this but thats not cool raise your prices and do shady shi shi like that. SAD plaza location in Oceanside read more

This is my go-to lunch. Teriyaki plate is always bomb. Amazing price and portions. This place is a real gem.

Teri Cafe never disappoints they have the best food from the Ramen to their Sushi you are bound to find something delicious to eat.

Always great service. My boys always get the chicken cutlet (Katsu) and they served it plain with sauce on the side which my picky eaters love. The plate lunch comes with rice, potato/macaroni salad (since they changed their recipe, this has been bland. Used to be really good), and green salad mix with a creamy gingery dressing that I love. The sushi rolls are always delicious. Haven't tried one I didn't like. Their grilled salmon is really good too. It's always moist and perfect with a side of teriyaki sauce. Oh, and can't forget their gyoza. So ono! read more

Taste: 5 Value: 5 Service: 3 A casual Japanese-American restaurant with consistent food. I've been her several times and met up with my cousin for lunch today. They have a rotating daily lunch special that goes for around $5 and serves the dishes in respectable portion sizes. I like the fact that every table has a bottle of soy sauce and sriracha hot sauce. There's both indoor and outdoor seating, and both areas are kept clean even in heavy traffic. Though they could improve their entree to rice ratio, it's hard to walk away hungry or unsatisfied. read more

Good plate meals. Rolls are almost terrible. Looks good. And huge portions. And the price is great. But the rolls were so bland. Had the Aloha and the Rainbow rolls. The aloha was much better because the mayo gave it some flavor. Can't really mess up plate meals (teri chicken and beef). If you're looking to save a few bucks. I would go here. They even have mini bowls so if you are on a diet you have tons of options. read more

This place is just all right. I've had better ramen elsewhere. Initially when I heard about a ramen place in North County, I was psyched because I missed eating it so frequently in Orange County (and btw, I loathe the OC). Yet, I couldn't help but feel a *tad* disappointed. The soup itself isn't bad, but...I don't know...something seemed lacking. Maybe it was the too many bean sprouts they put in my soup? I don't know, I'm not a fan of bean sprouts, no matter how healthy/good they are or me. I never had bean sprouts in my ramen all the while I ate it in Orange County/Los Angeles. Place itself is kinda small and a little crowded. I like the theme and "old" look to it, but it's a bit too cozy for my tastes. Restaurant is kinda hard to find considering it's near that run-down theater (is it still open for other things? Not sure). read more

Okay it's the first time since I've been back to this location since they moved away from the Target shopping center across the way and before I started Yelping. While the place was a lot smaller before, they've got a lot more room, but when I walked up for dinner with some friends, there was a line of people waiting. It was people waiting to pick up their orders. We placed our order to eat and sat down to wait for our order to arrive. My friend Emily's came within 10 minutes, but mine and my other friend's did not come until almost 20 minutes later. While the food is decent and the portions are nice and big, you need to step up your service a little better and deliver 'all' the people's food at the same time. Not good. You didn't even offer us a free ice cream or mochi for the extra long wait. The food is nothing spectacular, but it's okay. I think they try to do a little too much and that's what may be hurting them. They can do so much better if they just concentrate on some of the important things like service and speed. I think another problem is that they have TOO MANY menu items so that confuses people with too many choices and that slows things down too! read more

I came here with a coworker during our lunch break and loved it! The prices are affordable and they offer different lunch specials everyday. I got the chicken teriyaki lunch specials which is a plate of chicken, rice, veggies, and a side of a California roll. I wish I still worked in Oceanside because this would be a place I would go to regularly. Their food is affordable fresh! read more

I ordered dinner to go tonight, out of convenience during a busy night of errands. I ordered the chicken curry udon through the new online ordering system, which was simple and very easy to use. The restaurant was a bit busy with other patrons who must have had similar Monday night plans after a busy holiday weekend, but we all waited patiently in the social distancing line set up by the restaurant. The wait staff was INCREDIBLE. The whole team was extremely accommodating and very kind. The person in line in front of me had a miscommunication with his girlfriend about which location she had ordered their dinner. The woman working the register was extremely polite and even called the Plaza location for the customer to try to track down his order. After I received my order, I went home and unpacked my dinner and other groceries. I realized that the broth I had received was different than my usual chicken curry udon broth. I normally would have just eaten the other meal, but I was looking forward to my chicken curry udon! I called the restaurant and explained the mistake to the cashier, who had to pass the phone to another employee. I assumed I was speaking with the manager, and was shocked later that I had not. The man on the phone was EXTREMELY polite, kind, understanding, and very apologetic. He asked me what else he can get for me to make up for the mistaken order, and started listing off appetizers. I thanked him and said it was fine and that I just wanted the curry broth. He said "OK, but when you get here you just let us know what juice you want." I laughed and said okay. Once I arrived back at the restaurant, I let the cashier know I had called before and was just picking up my curry broth. The man I spoke with before had overheard and appeared (seemingly out of nowhere) and said "Yes, it's right here! And what juice can I get for you, any Hawaiian juice you want!" As I had never tried the juices at Teri, I told him to give me his favorite juice of choice. I opened it in my car and it was the tastiest juice I have legitimately ever had in my life. I called shortly after leaving the restaurant, to let the man know what an incredible job he did handling my issue. He was on a dinner break when I called back, but I learned his name was Marcus and he also was not a manager. I was surprised and impressed with Marcus' accountability for the team's minute error and how he handled taking care of the customer in that moment. He is an incredible asset to this team and obvious bench strength. Thank you Marcus and the Teri Cafe team for your fantastic customer service tonight! In a time of unknown and unprecedented challenges, this restaurant and staff is taking everything in stride and ensuring the customer is still feeling valued and heard. The most valuable part of this restaurant though? THIS TEAM!!! Thank you!!! read more

I went here again a couple of times. More and more it seems mediocre in food and service. I think the birds eating the crumbs inside enjoy it more than I do. I will pass on this joint from now on, there are so many other great sushi and teriyaki joints around. I ordered a combo that came with old sushi and cold miso soup that was probably sitting for a while. The teri had too much fat and burnt meat for my liking. read more

Teri Cafe - Combo - Ramen Near Me - Oceanside, California

Food was not very good. Sushi was all frozen fish, the ramen noodles were mush, and their teriyaki is awful. Service was also very poor. Never refilled our glasses and my fiancé never got a spoon for her soup. I had to give her the one from my soup even though we asked. read more

I really wanted to be able to give them higher rating, but I can't! The food lacked some flavor and we felt like it needed salt...? Seasoning? Something! But the big disappointment was when we sat at the bar to wait for our food, saw that they had shock top on tap and got excited .... Ordered and prepaid for 2 beers, only to have to get a refund because they couldn't get the keg in working condition! Ugh! Disappointed ... We will try it again but will try something else next time. Yaki soba not so soba! THE POTATO SALAD WAS BOMB!!! Yum! read more

Teri Cafe - Ramen Near Me - Oceanside, California

*Sigh* I've tried to like this place. I really have! I hear such great things and so many people love it. However, I've been there 3 times now and have just never been wowed. The food doesn't seem very authentic, it's always either too salty or too bland, and the prices are NOT very reasonable. I got the teriyaki bowl the first time I went, and while the chicken and rice were pretty standard, their idea of vegetables in the bowl was 2 raw baby carrots and a half-raw piece of broccoli. Not kidding. A TV dinner would have had more substantial veggies! It was also a very small portion. And then the last time I went, I ordered the chicken ramen, which was alright but VERY salty. Their sushi is also sub-par. I don't like how you order at the counter, but then have to wait to be seated. Always makes me feel a little awkward. You're squished in that tiny area in-between the cash register and the wall with a million servers squeezing past you. Just seat me when I enter and make this a sit-down restaurant, or let me order at the counter AND choose my own table! All in all, there are a lot of great Asian restaurants in North County. In my opinion, this isn't one of them. read more

This place is without a doubt the worse place I have ever gone for ramen. Taste of the ramen is below average due to the grilling of the chicken. Instead of slicing the meat they just put an entire grilled chicken breast into the soup. I felt awkward at the front desk due to the two employees holding on a conversation while I just stood there waiting to order. Not coming back! read more

We love Teri Cafe and get it to go when in Oceanside. Simple food that is delicious every.single.time. We love the beef and chicken Teri with tempura and the grilled salmon. The teriyaki sauce and the salad dressing are so tasty. Our takeout orders are always spot on even with extra sauces and dressing. You can't go wrong with either location. Thank you so much Teri Cafe for your consistent quality and service. read more

Amazing food and service that is constantly great! Love this place and so happy that they made (making) it through covid! Thanks Teri! :)

Tried this place for the first time the other night after hearing about it. It's basically a walk-in stand in line to order and then pay and take a seat in restaurant or take-out. We ordered 4 different types of sushi rolls, the gyoza potstickers and some tempura shrimp. Mixed review on sushi rolls, pot stickers ok, tempura was way too greasy:-( For the money I shelled out - don't know if I would go again. read more

Asked for LIGHT rice and EXTRA broccoli. Paid extra. See picture. Called when I got home: they told me next time they'd put in extra broccoli. Cool. Make sure you check your order. read more

One word....amazing! Teri cafe was my first introduction to ramen. While visiting my stepmother in Oceanside she recommended that we try the chicken tatsuya ramen. She ordered for us and I wasn't sure what to expect. When it arrived, it was love at first sip. Although I was full, I probably could've eaten another bowl. Sadly, I live in Austin and I'm unable to cali go as often as I would like. Now with the help of yelp I'm on the prowl for a new ramen place that compares to Teri cafe. Like they say I guess I'm going to have to kiss a bunch of frogs in order to find my Prince...lol...wish me luck in my search for a new ramen spot! read more
