My daughter accidentally left her purse at Teri Cafe on Saturday. Since the cafe was closed Sunday due to a scheduled power outage, I stopped by Monday morning to ask whether it had been turned in. Thankfully, the purse had been given to management, and everything inside--including a substantial amount of cash--was still there. We are very grateful to the honest person who returned it and to the Teri Cafe team for keeping it safe. This experience demonstrated genuine trust, honesty, and integrity. Thank you, Teri Cafe!

Came to Teri Cafe for dinner on a Sunday early evening. There was a decent crowd, but no wait to order or find a table. It's a casual setup - you order at the counter first, then grab a seat once your food is ready. We tried the Beef Udon ($12) and the Beef & Chicken Plate ($16). The udon included thinly sliced beef, fish cake, half an egg, green onions, and tempura flakes but the broth leaned a bit on the salty side. The plate was filling, with generous portions of both meats, though overall the flavors were pretty standard and nothing particularly memorable. That said, the value is hard to beat. The prices are reasonable, and the portion sizes are definitely satisfying, making it a solid spot if you're looking for a quick, no-frills meal. One downside: we realized after leaving that our order was rung up incorrectly. We were charged for a Dinner Plate (which includes teriyaki chicken and a California roll) with extra beef, but we didn't receive that dish - we were missing the California roll entirely. A bit disappointing to both be charged incorrectly and not receive the right order.

food came out insanely fast. all of the food was also surprisingly delicious. If i come back, i'll likely want to get a dinner combo plate because they looked enormous and delicious! Got the Oceanside bowl which was delicious, like a chirashi bowl. The fish was surprisingly all good quality. also tried the beef udon - yummy! this place is such a hidden gem. very mom&pop vibes, good prices and solid food. The service was very fast!

My first time to this establishment. Came out to visit a longtime friend that I haven't seen a while and decided to come here for dinner. The staff here is very tenitive and always asking if you need anything to make sure everything is okay. In ordered the beef teri and shrimp plate. Mu friend ordered the shrimp tempura plate. The dinner came with milo soup and salad as well. The beef was very tasteful and tender. The shrimp that came with the beef was fried and came with a cocktail sauce. We ate out in the patio are it was nice and relaxing they also had patio heaters out there to keep the area warm. I will definitely be back to try something elsenon the menu next time I'm in town

Get the FIESTA ROLL! ASK for a side of ponzu sauce, mix it with the sauce the roll comes with. OmG delish! Hands down new favorite item at teri. It uaed to be the Banzai Ramen. But this was soooo good. I ordered with a small miso soup. Perfect . I call it the Solo Girl Dinner.

We have been coming to this place for a long time. It still holds a special place in our hearts with a lot of good memories. Overall the food was still enjoyable, but the quality of ramen seemed to have gone down a bit. The soup was nice. I have just realized this time that they set their point-of-sale systems to calculate suggested tips based on the post-tax total, leading to a higher tip amount. I think that is not cool.

Can't believe it's been 7 years since my last review! Teri Cafe had trash food, good portions and great prices and has been consistent for years! My favorite is the Oceanside bowl! Yummy salmon and tuna poke bowl with Ponzu sauce! The staff is friendly and even though the restaurant is always busy, the system of ordering and paying as you walk in and the sitting to eat keeps the crowds moving. This is my go to spot for lunch breaks! Glad to see they are still going strong! Teri Cafe is always great! Gotta keep coming back!

CRAVING CHICKEN TERIYAKI Been to both locations! - FOOD: deicious - PRICE: affordable - SERVICE: good - AMBIANCE: smaller locations :: FOOD :: Chicken Teriyaki PLATE ($14) - chicken teriyaki, rice, green salad, and potato salad. Went for the plate instead of the bowl and the portions were massive. You can tell the kitchen just cooked the meal and no item has been sitting out. The chicken teriyaki was nicely grilled, sliced, and marinated in the sauce. The teriyaki wasn't too thick, nor runny, and the protein was not swimming in it. HIGHLY RECOMMEND :: LOCATION :: This location has root beer but not the apple soda like the other location. It's on top of a hill and views of a small golf course below. They have a dedicated parking lot but if that is full the plaza parking lot is open too. I think I like this location because it's right across VEG (I got a soft heart for VEG. :: SERVICE :: You technically can sit at the table and order as there are QR codes. Was stopped while about to take a seat and was told to order/pay with the front. Then whets the point of the QR codes?! Friendly staff but felt they don't do their rounds to check on customers. Doesn't have to be all the time but an occasional round would be appreciated. I def need to try something different on their huge menu.

If you like Japanese fusion/fast food with restaurant style dining this could be the place for you! My girlfriends & fellow yelpers Brooklyn Lisa B and Nanci i recently met up here for a sushi ladies night out. When we met up the line was almost out the door. It was moving at a good pace. One customer in front of us had a larger crowd meeting up with her so she let us go ahead of her. That was so nice. We were then greeted kindly by the staffers at the register. You order at the counter and get a number for your table. You kinda have to kink your neck to see the angled digital menu above. But hurrah they also have laminated menus at the register so we quickly scrambled through them. What's nice is you can order separately and not have to worry about splitting the bill or having to Venmo each other afterwards. We chose a comfortable booth that had just been wiped down but was still a bit too wet. So we reached out to a kind young server and received a second wipe down. I don't always eat shrimp but I'm a double crunchy roll kinda gal. The apple cider was good too. They were out of the pineapple tho. We closed down the place and didn't feel rushed out. We'll definitely be back as we had a great meet up & meal here.

Still a good lunch. #11 for her and I get my salmon on with the Kama. A few stick grabs of her salad/s and a nibble of the tempura, and we are golden. Seemed busier this Saturday. Possibly due to the other store being updated. Good food. Huge plates and great staff. CritDicks

Teri Cafe is always a good idea. I had the Chicken Teri & Temp Bowl and split the tempura with my husband. He ordered the daily lunch special. Love, love, LOVE the tempura. We've had many other items from their menu; ramen, sushi rolls, yakisoba. All good. Mini Chicken Teri Bowl is my jam. Love the price! A lot of the items have good sized portions at the right price. Can't go wrong with a cold beer with lunch or a hot sake when it's dinner. We love coming here and enjoy the island vibe. Staff is friendly, whether you're at the register or seated at a table. When dropping off your order, they always ask if there is anything else that's needed, i.e. sauces, napkins, utensils, etc, so you don't have to go to the counter. They stop by from time to time to make sure you're a satisfied customer. They use Toast (Local by Toast) for their online ordering and the prices are the same as the menu (unlike some using Grubhub or Doordash with added fees.) There's an enclosed area for outside seating. We've brought our pup on a couple of occasions. Teri Cafe is an Oceanside staple. I'm glad they opened this location. The El Camino location is out of the way. Parking is better here - more spacious and more spots. Another's review mentioned their extreme dissatisfaction of using fake grass on sushi plates. I believe the intention is to separate the wasabi from mixing with the rest of the dish. Hopefully, that review doesn't deter you from visiting. This spot is worth a visit.

Manolo, the lead of Terri Cafe. The guy in the middle between the waitress who didn't acknowledge me.

The biggest issue was the service. After finishing my water, I expected someone to refill it since the servers were actively checking on and refilling drinks for other tables. I waited approximately 10 - 15 minutes, and multiple servers walked past me without acknowledging me. I even moved my empty cup to the edge of the table to make it more noticeable and gave the staff the benefit of the doubt. What made the situation frustrating was watching the staff check on tables around me. A waitress stopped at the table across from me, asked if they needed anything else, and offered to go boxes. Other tables were also being checked on, while no one approached me, made eye contact, or asked whether I needed anything. Despite several servers and staff members passing by repeatedly, I felt completely ignored. After waiting another 10 - 15 minutes. I ask to speak with the manager. Instead, I was introduced to the lead Manolo. I requested the manager, he stated no manager or supervisor is there and he is the lead. I explained my concerns and asked why no one had checked on me when everyone around me was receiving attention. I also told him that, as the only BLACK customer in the restaurant. the experience made me question whether I was being treated differently because of my race. One of Manolo the lead responses was that if I wanted more water, I should have ask for it. The problem with that explanation is that I watched other customers receive refills and service without having to ask. Servers were already checking on tables, refilling drinks. asking whether guests needed anything else, and offering to go boxes. Meanwhile, I sat with an empty cup for an extended period while multiple employees walked past me without acknowledgement. That is exactly why I felt discriminate against. The other guests were being taken care of, while I was being ignored. When I asked why I had not received the same level of attention and courtesy as the other customers, I did not receive a meaningful answer. I suggested reviewing the security footage to see what had happened, but that suggestion was rejected and Manolo stated why would I do that. Rather than addressing my concerns or attempting to make things right, I was told to just leave and was offered a to go boxes. Based on how this situation was handled. I believe the lead Manolo, should NOT be in a leadership position. A leader's job is to listen to customers, address concerns professionally, and work toward a resolution. Instead, I felt dismissed, my concerns about being treated differently were minimized, and I was simply told to leave. Because of the way this complaint was handled, I believe Terri Cafe should seriously reconsider whether Manolo is the right person to lead its staff. Leadership should be about accountability, customer service, and treating every guest with respect. Unfortunately, that was not my experience. Whether the treatment I received was intentional or not, the result was the same I felt ignored, disrespected, discriminated against, and unwelcome.

Awesome food and ice cold draft beer at a price that keeps you coming back. This is one of our go to places for the whole extended family to meet. Try the Shoyu Ramen, spicy tuna rolls, awesome plate lunches, and Asahi beer on tap. I would not consider it particularity good place for sushi, but the rolls are great, and lunch specials are hard to beat! They are not stingy with the food, and we always leave feeling satisfied and happy. Fast service, reasonable prices, and a fun vibe. read more

It used to be tasty and cheap with amazing service, but now it is definitely not worth it. Today I had the curry chicken ramen (tastes likes powdered ramen I can make at home and super dry chicken) and my boyfriend had the spicy miso ramen and I had some (the noodles seem like they're just pulled out of the freezer and boiled, the spice is not even a good stinging type of spice... Just stings) and it was $19. And the service did not exist. Not worth it. Not going back. I'll just drive the 40 minutes to Convoy. read more

Love eating here, and always experience thumbs up from friends and family I've taken here as well. Choose your items first before taking a seat. You're given a number for your order, and then it's delivered freshly prepared to your table. Yes, it's kind of like fast food, but the food is more like a full-service restaurant quality. You get to either take it to go or eat it right there (barside or dining area). If you can get a window seat in the dining area, you'll get to enjoy the view, which can be of the golf course, Hwy 78 and beyond. There are a plethora of choices from the menu. A menu favorite of my family include the soups - which I've observed seem to always be a fave of most of it's customers (regardless of the season). My husband's fave soup is the Chashu Ramen with pork belly ($10). The bowl is so big and so full that it can truly pass as a main course. On other occasions, we've also ordered the various lunch/dinner rice plates and rice bowls ranging from $7-14. The menu also has a plethora of salad orders, appetizers, sushi and sashimi rolls to choose from ranging from $3-13. My personal fave is the Banzai Ramen ($9) soup bowl with TC Sushi Roll ($7). It doesn't sound like much, but I always leave the place full and content - unless I'm too full to finish my soup...then, I've got this fab left over to look forward to later. Oh yum. My only one disappointment is that they cannot be open sooner or longer enough (open daily 10:30am-9pm). read more

Bigger is not better! They 've moved into a larger location across the way on El Camino Real. Their service is horrible. The owner, manager and staff should take a walk down the street to Broken Yolk and see how a restaurant should run and be managed. If you want good service this is not the place to come. They're in a great new location, but the death of their existence will be the lousy inept service. Three other restaurants have failed at that location. Let's see what happens in a year or so. Finally, they are extremely good at being disorganized. Food is ok. read more

After an hour wait we walked with a $10 voucher and missing pieces to the order and hair in our food. Also what looks like a loogie on our sushi roll tray. The "beef" was horrible too.

I love Teri Cafe!! They have great sushi rolls, yakisoba, teriyaki chicken, fried rice, and my personal favorite-- the beef udon! I seriously get the udon every time I go. It's flavorful and is seriously so much food. The only reasons I didn't give 5 stars are these: it can sometimes be a little tough to find a seat during busy hours (lunch and dinner peaks), and the kids working the register can be a bit unwelcoming or come off as arrogant.

My friends and I are frequent customers and consider it our favorite place for lunch and dinner. Being so, we've termed 10:30 am (their opening time during the week) as "Teri Time." Their weekday specials are spectacular, though I believe the Thursday special to be the best with a half chicken teriyaki plate and a California roll. Their ramen is hearty and delicious with many different varieties, but I recommend the Banzai ramen if you don't know where to start. If you are looking for a good dinner spot that will not leave you dissatisfied, you've found the right place. For those of you with an appetite, such as myself, the D1 and D2 dinner plates will not disappoint. With a substantial amount of mouthwatering vegetable and potato salad, chicken teriyaki over white rice, miso soup, and an 8-piece California roll, you won't have room for desert... but if you do, they have mochi balls. There is a good selection of bottled and draft beer, along with Sake if you are looking to cheers with some friends. The employees work fast, but it can get busy during lunch and dinner rushes. So be patient! It's worth it! read more

Suddenly hit by a massive craving for Japanese food, I found out Teri Cafe isn't too far from my apartment so I decided to give it a try. I walked in and was immediately impressed by how bright and clean everything was. I ordered the chicken teriyaki rice bowl, a shrimp tempura roll, and two pieces of inari. While it's not the BEST I've ever had, it IS very good, especially considering how affordable the prices are! But what really stood out to me was the service. Both the girl that rang me up and the one that brought my food out to me were EXTREMELY helpful and friendly. I wish I had thought to catch their names before I left, I'd like to give them some direct kudos here. I definitely plan on coming back, and next time, I'm bringing friends. read more

Have been here 2-3 times now and am always impressed with their fast service and great food. This past time I tried the "Oceanside bowl" which was full of (very fresh!) fish (similar to a poke bowl) avocado and seaweed. For $9.50 I think it was a great deal. We also ordered the chicken teriyaki which at $6.50 is a great deal! The chicken was well cooked and despite having already ordered and being seated, our waiter still took our order (normally you order at the front and sit down with a number) Our water, Mia, was extremely professional and helpful. She was always refilling our cups and taking away dishes. She really made our dinner memorable and enjoyable. I would caution arriving early for dinner though because it gets very busy! We got there around 5:30PM so it wasn't packed but half way through eating it got really busy (Friday night) read more

I'm so glad we decided to give it a try. We have several anime fans in our household, so it was exciting to recognize all the characters displayed throughout the restaurant. The kids loved them too! We were greeted immediately when we walked in, and every staff member was incredibly kind and attentive. After ordering at the counter, we took our number and found a slightly wonky--but charming and sturdy--solid-wood table. Different movies were playing on the TVs, which kept the kids entertained while we waited for our food. We ordered sushi and ramen, and my ramen was exquisite. I believe it was called the Dark Knight, and it was absolutely delicious. I was also pleasantly surprised to see Orion beer on draft. Having lived in Okinawa, where the brewery is based, it was wonderfully nostalgic and added another layer of authenticity to the experience. Everything about our visit was wonderful, and we'll definitely be dining here again. They also advertise special events inside the restaurant. I don't remember the details, but I'll be sure to check them out during our next visit!

I ordered the regular pho for about $15 and really enjoyed the broth. The meats were tender and flavorful, especially the brisket and tripe. Portion sizes definitely seem smaller compared to the oversized bowls many spots used to serve years ago, but honestly it works well if you're trying to avoid overdoing it. My son ordered the grilled pork chops with rice. The flavor was good, especially paired with the fish sauce, though the pork chops could have been a little hotter and had more of that grilled flavor. Parking can sometimes be tricky depending on the time of day, but today it wasn't an issue at all. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and especially the broth. Pho House is definitely becoming one of my preferred pho spots in Oceanside again.

The wait staff at this location are theives. My girlfriend just got verbally harassed for 20 minutes because she left her phone on a table and one of the bussers pocketed it. She then used the "find my iphone" to find her phone and figured out somebody in the kitchen had it. She called ahead and told a girl on the phone that her iphone was there and that she was coming to pick it up. The girl on the phone told her it wasnt there and nobody had found a phone. My girlfriend then went inside and was told by three other people that her phone was not and could not still be on the resturant premises even though she showed them the find my iphone app that stated her phone was approximately 20 feet behind the bar in the front of the resturant. My girlfriend also called her phone multiple times while in the store and other customers commented on hearing her phone ring from the kitchen area. The staff at this location collectively told her to leave before they called the cops because she was making a scene. A single male worker(THANK YOU, whoever you are, you are amazing) then begged the rest of the staff to return her phone. The staff refused and continued to threaten my girlfriend. After causing a huge scene and calling my girlfriend a liar and psychopath the phone was returned by the same staff. Again this place is being ran by liars, bullys and theives. This establishment has been a favorite of mine for years and I am sad to say that I will never be returning. I expect nothing to be done about this and that every person that eats here is a potential victim. Unless the entire wait and kitchen staff is fired (except for the ONE DECENT HUMAN BEING that defended my girlfriend and knew people were stealing her phone) this behavior will continue and could eventually happen to you. And to the employees who verbally attacked my girlfriend to the point of tears, there's a special place in hell for you. read more

My wife and 4 kids went here for the first time. We did not even order anything and we will never go back. I will tell everyone I know not to ever eat at the Teri cafe. This is why....first time trying to eat there. We didn't know what to order so the cashier gave us a menu and said it was open seating. Having a family of 6 is not easy to find seating so we first found seating looked through the menu and then I went to wait in line to order, while my wife and 4 kids waited at the table we decided to sit at. I guess normally at the Teri cafe you order they give you a number and the wait staff brings food to you. Well while I was waiting in line to order my wife and 4 kids are seated at a table with no number visible. So a Teri cafe waiter named CAIN told my wife "you have to go because you haven't ordered yet." So dumb ass Mr. NO ALOHA CAIN kicked my wife and 4 kids out of the table because we did not order yet. I was still waiting in line to order food when my wife told me she and our 4 kids got kicked out of the table they were at because we had no order number. I demanded to talk to a manager, but they said the manager was off. I explained to two workers, I assumed were senior, how embarrassed, humiliated and angry my wife and I both were from what had just happened and it was our first time there too. The workers asked if they could serve us, but it was too late. I told them it was our first and last time there and where was the ALOHA? Our family left without eating anything and I will NEVER go there and tell everyone I know or meet to NEVER GO TO THE TERI CAFE. read more

To start, the food was AMAZING. I had the TC roll, gyoza, and shared edamame with some friends. Pretty dang delicious. I highly recomend all of the above and would love to try more of their food. I have only ever heard how delicious this place was, and it's true. Now, why I deducted two stars... We went in on the Friday night before labor day, so it was packed. The guy at the register was rushing us quite a bit which I understood, but being my first time I wasn't sure what was best on the menu, so I just stuck to what seemed easy. We sat down and waited probably 20 minutes before my food came. About 20 minutes later I noticed my poor husband was STILL waiting so I told him to go ask what the hold up was. Turns out the guy at the counter was so busy trying to rush us through the line he never even charged us or put his order in! He apologized, but made us pay for my husbands meal which is just tacky. I work customer service all day long, and when you mess something up for a customer, you fix it without charge. That is good customer service. Also, that place was bumpin', a little A/C on the hottest day of the year wouldn't have hurt. I dont like to be a complainer, but the later part of our visit (even the guy coming back to offer us FREE water ooooooh) was really a downer. However, the food was so delicious, I will definitely be back! read more

If you are anywhere near Oceanside, you need to get yourself to Teri Cafe!!This place has been a staple in the area for so long, and for good reason. It is your go-to for island-style and Japanese food that is just consistently delicious and made with real care. Their dinner plates come loaded with your choice of meat, rice, salad, miso soup, and the cutest little scoop of potato salad and you can also get all the classics like udon, sushi rolls, yakisoba, and so much more. The food is always fresh and healthy and I am never disappointed. Yes, the line can get a little long sometimes, but don't let that scare you because the food comes out so quickly once you order. They have parking (it fills up fast, so go a little early if you can), and they serve beer too.. which is always a fun bonus. This place is just a gem. read more

My family has been coming here for years. I usually get the chicken teriyaki bowl. Tons of juicy white meat, sticky rice and teriyaki sauce. The people who work here give great service and always kick me down with an extra side of teriyaki, free of charge. The canned fruit juices they sell here are the same ones I had in Hawaii a few years back and haven't found anywhere else. I'm not a big fan of the sushi here, but my little brother is. He usually gets a California roll with whatever he's eating. Love the miso soup, too. Only thing that sucks about this place is that it gets pretty crowded for lunch and dinner. I try to go between rushes for that reason. Guess it just goes to show what lack of good food Oceanside has to offer. read more

One time I ordered 2 beef teriyaki bowl and a beef udon for to go, but when I got home, whoever prepared my order forgot to pack the teriyaki sauce, so me and my hubby was so disappointed that night so I called the store manager right away to tell her my complaint, she fixed the issue right away and promised to give me a free 2 beef teriyaki bowl on my next order and a store credit of $10.00. We went back the next day and the manager kept her promise! Love the free meal! read more

Teri Cafe is a steal and a solid Japanese-Hawaiian restaurant. The portions and price are definitely it's strongest selling point, but with a wide variety of options it's easy to venture out and try unfamiliar dishes, or decide for yourself if it meets your standards. Nothing that I sampled was award winning, but all of the staple items were generous and delicious. Service is quirky and a bit chaotic but they have a great evening special, from 4-8pm, around $8-$10 for a plate of food easily shared by two people. Sit outside if the weather permits and enjoy! read more

We were looking at food options on the way to the field for after the game and sort of laughed as we passed a sushi place in a strip mall in a seemingly out of the way location. My son heard us mention sushi and perked right up, but we told him not likely around here. Just for fun, we Googled it and then read the reviews and were taken aback at the fantastic reviews. Son plays an amazing game, they win! Grammie wants to take us to lunch so we give her the address. She gets there before us and we all sort of look at one another and say let's give it a try. OMG.....Kyodai 23 is now one of my Top 3 favorite sushi locations EVER!!! The sushi was so fresh, flavorful, melt in your mouth amazing! I'm writing this review two months after we dined, so I don't remember the names of any of the dishes, but I added pics so you can see what we had. It was so good, we actually doubled up on a couple of dishes. We left full and satisfied. Service was very prompt and friendly. The restaurant was clean and nicely appointed. The prices were more than reasonable...especially for that quality of sushi. As much as I don't want to drive 2.5 hours for a single soccer game, I'll be wishing for many more games in Oceanside!

Worst dining experience I've had in years!…read moreService was horrible, server (Isabella) was rude and got our drinks and sushi orders wrong, then had an attitude like it was our fault when she was the one to write the order in her notepad. Also took FOREVER to get our rolls and the place was half empty, actually nobody else on our side of the joint. Rolls fell apart on nearly every bite, very little fish inside and out, overwhelming amount of cucumber inside to fill space. To end it all we were charged gratuity when she ran our card. What the heck!?' If I wasn't with friends I hadn't seen in a while, I would have asked to speak to the manager, but didn't want to make it worse that it was nor want to make a scene. NEVER GOING BACK to the place!!

Cafe de Thai & Sushi is a small business that is located just north of Oceanside Blvd & College Blvd in the inland of Oceanside California. What I can appreciate about this restaurant is that it is in a convenient location that is easy to get to & has plenty of parking in the surrounding shared lots. There's plenty of space for family & group seating inside. The ambiance was soothing and dimly lit with a vibe of Asian flair , but it doesn't feel boujie. The service was excellent and very attentive. My meals were tasty and I felt that the prices, although on the higher side, matched the portion sizes and the quality of the food. Overall, I really liked my experience here at Cafe de Thai & Sushi and I recommend it if in the area.

Unfortunately, the server never brought it. I also ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen, and it was honestly one of the worst ramen dishes I've tried. The staff seemed very slow and unorganized. I'm not sure if they understood what I was asking for because the server looked confused when I spoke to her. Even when I first came in, no one offered me a glass of water. Overall, the service felt very unprofessional, and the experience was disappointing. I expected much better service and food.

Decided to try this spot on a whim, as it's not far from my place and I'm new to the area. A sushi…read morespot for me is a MUST. My first visit I tried their Sky Sushi, and for today's visit I went with their Red Dragon Roll. My favorite is the appetizer soup that comes with your orders. Never been big on tofu, but however they make that soup really pleases my taste buds. Truly wish they had a chefs kiss emoji, because thats how good this place is. I'm all about quality and freshness and Sky Sushi delivers that. To finish off both visits of course I had to get dessert. I've tried both their matcha and coffee macaron ice cream mini sandwich thing. Dude, if I had a whole box I'd be going to town. I've had the pleasure of seeing the owner there, working hard and having a smile on her face. You can tell she truly loves her space and the food she provides. You can even see her in the video here coming around the corner with a smile. The other employees there are also very friendly, polite and quick with their service. The decor there is also super cute, I find myself looking at different subtle pieces, and (totally random) the wall colors are easy on the eyes. It almost feels relaxing in there. Highly recommend Sky Sushi!!

We ordered the bulgogi and chicken teriyaki entrées, and both were flavorful and well-portioned. Each plate came with the meat, a choice of two sides, rice, salad, and miso soup, which made it feel like a great value. Definitely a spot we'll be coming back to! And we had also ordered through DoorDash and came to pick up which was ready in about 30mins. Dining in and ordering out is great!
