    Crazy Boy RollCrazy

    Nice spot! It's pretty spacious so there's a lot of seating. I do like how the booths are separated by a barrier so it's more private. There is a call button to get the waiters attention and we tried to use it but I'm not sure if it worked lol. There are so many sushi options and other appetizers and such too. The spicy garlic edamame was really good!!! The presentation of the sashimi was very pretty and elegant! I haven't seen that before! The crazy boy rolls were super delicious. I really enjoyed those! Everything tasted really good. The classic spicy tuna rolls were fat and filling. Would definitely come back here!

    FOOD: The Sushi here is soooo good!! Very fresh and flavorful! There are also a lot of vegetable roll options, which is great for my family! I've enjoyed everything I've tried here. They have really food Lunch specials as well and their spicy edamame is really good! SERVICE: The staff is always friendly and helpful when we dine in or take out. AMBIANCE: Very nice and casual place. There is a good amount of seating and it always seems very clean.

    Great neighborhood sushi spot! We recently dined in after a great takeout experience. Edna our server was great!! Loved the black dragon roll! The amount of eel you get on one roll is insane. It is one of their pricier rolls but so worth it for the quantity and quality. Terra offers a lot of fun sushi rolls and has sizzling plates. Will be back again!

    We recently went to Terra Sushi and once again the sushi was delicious. The yellow tail hand roll was my favorite. It was simple but full of great fish.

    This sushi restaurant probably has the freshest seafood in the area. The service is great and they are super friendly. They treat everyone like family there. It's a cute little place with lots of specialty rolls and sashimi. The dessert options are fun too. I've had the pistachio dessert and the tropical truffle. Too good to pass up!

    My good friend and calabash sistah, SP, came here the other week and thought I would like Terra Sushi... 'And I did. We arrived just at opening, 5:00 PM, with only one other couple ahead of us. It was the right call because shortly after, the restaurant was packed. By 5:30 PM, there was a line of patrons waiting to be seated. The sushi was fresh and flavorful. The salmon nigiri was buttery and melts in your mouth, while the saba nigiri was perfectly seasoned and balanced. The rolls are substantial and filling. The salmon skin cut roll was crispy and savory, the Mission Viejo roll was flavorful with just the right balance of fish and veggies. The Imperial roll was indulgent with its generous, fresh ingredients. The calamari roll was something different, it was lightly fried, crispy, and delicious. Each section of roll was served on its own little plate. However, the one roll I was most disappointed in was the spider roll, which was loaded with artificial crab (i.e., filler) rather than fresh soft-shell crab, and didn't live up to expectations. - See uploaded photos. Hot Japanese Green Tea x2 ($5) Salmon Sushi ($8.55) Saba Sushi ($8.05) Salmon Skin Roll ($9.50) Calamari Roll ($17.55) Imperial Roll ($20.25) Mission Viejo Roll ($19.55) Spider Roll ($18.05) Grand total w/tip: $136 Value-wise, it felt a bit steep, especially at $4 per piece for nigiri. I hesitated but decided to try it anyway, ordering the salmon and mackerel - my go-to favorites, and they were good. I usually avoid rolls since they're often just dressed-up versions of a California roll filled with artificial crab. Terra Sushi seems to place more emphasis on their specialty rolls than on traditional nigiri. To be clear, the nigiri wasn't bad, it just felt pricey for what it was. It was slightly chilly that evening, so we both ordered hot tea. I thought about trying the sake flight, but tea sounded better and was the perfect choice to help us warm up. The service from Edna was friendly, attentive, and efficient without feeling rushed. (Though there was a time after we received our food that our server went MIA.) Be sure to ask for extra napkins. There are no napkin dispensers on the tables and you start out with one single piece. Food comes out promptly, and the experience flows smoothly from start to finish. Overall, Terra Sushi delivers tasty sushi, attentive service, and a comfortable dining experience. If you're in the area and craving sushi, whether nigiri or creative rolls, Terra Sushi is definitely worth a visit. While most rolls are substantial and well-made, I would skip the Spider roll next time. - Big Aloha! Food: 4 Ambiance: 4 Service: 5 Value: 3

    These prices for the quality are absolutely unacceptable. 20 bucks for 4 rolls maybe I ordered the wrong roll either way it's the principle of the thing. Never going back again. Samurai sushi is a much better option.

    Service -3/5 They're not super friendly or attentive Food- 4/5 yellowtail sushi -4/5 Tender and fresh but rice was mediocre Good ratio of fish to rice Salmon sashimi- 5/5 Very fresh and tender, almost tastes like salmon belly Wish it was 5 pieces instead of 4 for that price Tekka maki- 5/5 Delicious and fresh, but for $10 it's a bit overpriced to me for six small pieces I'd return but hopefully service will be a bit better.

    I had such a great experience at Terra Sushi! The service was wonderful--everyone was kind, attentive, and very efficient. The dishes came out quickly, beautifully presented, and everything tasted fresh. I also really appreciated how many different options they had on the menu--it made it fun to try a variety. One thing I'd love to see added in the future is takoyaki, which would be an amazing complement to all the great dishes they already offer. The lighting in the restaurant was great, low lighting and still lit enough to see dining companions and food well. Was very easy on the eyes. The decor was tasteful, cute pops of color and the wooden booths with glass, and very inviting bar added to the great experience. Overall, highly recommend Terra Sushi!

    Came here after playing softball nearby at the lake forest rec park because I wanted sushi,…read moresearched Yelp and this place is highly rated less than a mile away (3 minutes drive according to iPhone). Off we went. Parking was easy in a large strip mall. No hostess here - you are greeted by the 2 sushi chefs upon walking in to sit wherever you'd like. The picture menu is easy to order off of. There are 2 big screens in the room. Tonight they were playing the World Baseball Classic. Women's restroom was clean - check! You get complimentary edamame upon being seated. Just 1 server handling all orders at the time we came in - a nice Korean lady, who at times seemed oblivious ie cleaning empty tables instead of giving us our check at the end of the meal when it was very apparent we were done. lol I looked for something on the menu that has unagi AND salmon but no dice so opted for dragon roll. My other half ordered #8 (forgot the name but it was good though I preferred my dragon roll more) but all in all our rolls came out delicious. Looking around, this place appears to be both a local spot and date spot from a few couples in the room. At the end of our meal our server brought us 2 pieces compliments of the chef, who said it was yellowtail. They have a stamp card that yields 10% after 5 meals and 20% off after 10 meals. We now know where we'll go after our weekly softball games!

    A little disappointed. I'm usually not one to leave negative reviews, especially for Japanese…read morerestaurants, but I feel like they have potential to do better -- which is why I wanted to leave an honest review. FYI -- no photos because we were busy with a cranky toddler. First, the service was genuinely great. The sweetest lady helped us with the menu and served our food, and we really appreciated her kindness. We were also given complimentary edamame, which was thoughtful, although it was bland, dry, and cold -- almost like it had been sitting in the fridge for a while. Since it was complimentary, we didn't think too much of it. For the mains, we ordered the beef teriyaki and chicken teriyaki bento specials. Unfortunately, both proteins were sliced extremely thin. The chicken especially had a jerky-like texture, and both the chicken and beef lacked flavor. After reading other reviews, they had similar experience. The teriyaki sauce itself was also pretty bland. The tempura was okay, but the tempura dipping sauce tasted watered down and lacked the usual savory depth you'd expect. The one standout was the roll topped with salmon and avocado with spicy tuna inside. It was presented beautifully and tasted fresh and well-balanced. Based on this, I honestly think rolls are what they do best. I really hope they improve the preparation and seasoning of the chicken and beef because it was a major turnoff -- and this is coming from someone who eats pretty much everything. It's hard to justify paying around $22 for a bento when the main protein feels flavorless and insubstantial. With so many good Japanese resto in Lake Forest, I would skip this until the proteins are fixed.

My wife, daughter, and I come here all the time and we seriously can't get enough. We've tried a bunch of different rolls, poke bowls, soups, sashimi, you name it! and everything is always on point. One of my favorites is the bento box. It's such a solid deal. You get a roll, salad, soup, rice and your choice of protein, and it always fills you up. Can't go wrong with it. Everything always tastes fresh, the flavors are consistent, and we've honestly never had a bad experience here. On top of that, it's always a good vibe inside. It feels welcoming, and the staff is super nice and attentive every time we come in. Definitely recommend this place if you're looking for good sushi and a mellow spot to enjoy it

It took quite a while just to get water and place our order, even after asking the sushi chef (who was not happy to be asked). We ordered the cucumber salad, shrimp tempura, and soft shell crab to start. The cucumber salad was plain and lacked dressing, the tempura was decent, and the soft shell crab was tasty with a small side salad with sesame dressing that was actually the best part. For mains, we had two bento boxes -- one with chicken teriyaki and baked mussels, and the other with mackerel shioyaki and fried shrimp. The miso soup was solid, but the salad could've used more dressing. Overall, the food was okay, but the poor service really hurt the experience. This was our second visit, and unfortunately, I think it might be our last. It feels like dine-in guests take a back seat to the takeout business here.

    I'm really surprised at the low star reviews that I see here. My experience and meal was five star!…read moreThough, keep in mind that my five stars is based on dining here only once and not at peak hours. We arrived just after noon on a weekday. The restaurant wasn't busy and we were seated right away. The vibe inside was authentic feeling Japanese style, smallish with several tables and sushi bar seating. My chicken oyakodon was a bowl of cozy comfort to me. It was topped with two slices of yellow pickled daikon. I'm sure it was homemade daikon, not like what you get in a jar from Tokyo Central. We were served their delicious miso soup as a starter. My sister ordered beef teriyaki and tempura. She said it was good. The restaurant started filling up as we ate our meal. A good sign of good authentic Japanese is when you see a lot of Japanese/Asians filling up the place, especially older people (haha, like me), because you know they know well prepared authentic. And that's the crowd that was coming in. Located in a busy center with limited parking, it must get crazy busy later in the evening because the sign outside the entrance says where to form the line. Anyway, my oyakodon and miso soup was so good!

I left feeling uneasy and disappointed, and I will not be returning or recommending this place. There are many sushi restaurants that focus on freshness without making customers uncomfortable, and this unfortunately is not one of them.

    Expectations may have been a bit high due to the popularity and good word about Hako, but I…read moreregularly am on the hunt for good Japanese katsu and curry, so have tried some pretty good katsu in my days. First off, it's a pretty great value. You get a set meal for a very good price these days, since the katsu meals come with their homemade katsu sauce (tastes like a slightly sweet and sour peanut satay), cabbage salad, rice, miso soup, and pickles. If you're looking for value only, this is great. Even the appetizers and sushi rolls are reasonable. I like that you can add on extra curry or some pieces of sushi or gyoza with your katsu or udon meal, and can add more than one. We saw a lot of takeout orders going out, though you don't get the soup. - Agedashi Tofu A light, popcorn crisp fry with sturdy cubes of tofu with enough dashi to cover them all. Respectable appetizer if you like tofu. All the pieces are very hot inside. - Hako Tonkatsu The pork cutlet is pounded so flat and enormous. I added a side of mild curry, which tasted like a good normal Japanese curry, and the additional gyoza were standard grocery filling (seemed to have more of a baked than fried texture on the skin). The nutty satay-like sauce went well with the katsu, but the curry was better. The rice was good and fluffy, and the pickles added an acidic balance. The miso soup was on the salty side. I liked how light and refreshing the cabbage salad was, though I prefer other dressings over this Thousand Island-like creamy one. The katsu itself was a bit disappointing, as it was devoid of moisture and the crisp could have been better. - Chicken Katsu The chicken was slightly better than the pork, as it retained a little more moisture and was just a bit more tender. However, all other aspects were the same. We tried the spicy curry for this plate, and it had the same taste as the regular curry, but with a bite. If you like pain more than taste when you eat spicy foods, I guess that'd be why you choose the spicy here. Considering it took nearly an hour for us to get a table on a random weekday night (seated close to 8pm), I definitely was expecting the food to taste much better. The tables are situated very close to each other, too, so you'll probably have a neighbor within your elbow space. It's not even a contender for a majority of katsu places in NorCal or Hawaii. But if you're in the area and have a craving and want a lot of food for the price, it's fine. If you have leftovers, they will give you an extra new side of their sauce, which is sweet.
