Visited Tera Sushi for the first time last night (a Friday night). Heard a lotta hype on the internet about it and reviews are great so Mom and I gave a it a chance.
The presentation seems to be their focus. The food all looks good, simultaneously seems rushed or thrown together rather than intentional and thoughtful. The rolls were unstable, they’d kinda fall apart on the journey from plate to mouth. Fresh tasting.
The Heart Attack was decent, a lil too much tuna I’d argue, and the jalapeño had no heat so it’s was just a mouthful of warm tuna and cream cheese. Not awful tho.
The Tuna Tartare was in a sweet ginger sesame sauce that felt a bit overpowering, but yummy nonetheless. Seems to be a sauce focused establishment.
The lemons on the Lemon Roll were mostly rind and less fruit flesh than I typically enjoy. the spicy tuna was really packed into the roll, sort of exploding out the sides too. haphazardly constructed.
The Thai Coconut Shrimp roll was pretty good, but too much of the “peanut sauce” felt and tasted more like straight peanut butter and it totally overpowered the roll, each piece my mouth was coated with Peanut Butter and i felt like a dog.
Mom also got Garlic Edamame but there was too much garlic on it she did not enjoy, especially as the garlic wasn’t fresh or clean but felt smothered on and fat heavy.
Mochi was good, wish they cut the pieces better, they were all clumped together.
Hot sake was good.
Tera seems to have a lot of creativity and potential, glad Corona can have multiple good sushi restaurants. I offer my critical reading for improvement because the overall experience was good and the food has good flavor just a little mild or “watered down” metaphorically. Pricey for what’s offered.
Would visit Tera again if invited by a friend (:
They also use a gray sauce on a number of their dishes that’s very mild but slightly sweet, what is the sauce? i have no clue,...
Read moreTeraSushi is now our new favorite go to Sushi Restaurant in Corona. We usually get the Tera Box and a dragon roll. It's a good combination of mixed tempora(including shrimp), fresh salad, spicy tuna rolls or califonia roll, 2 pieces of sushi (Salmon, Shrimp), and 4 pieces of Sashimi (Tuan, Yellow Tail (?)). It comes with a bowl of miso soup as well. It's always fresh and the tempora is just superb. It feels a little pricy but their sashimi slices are big and thick. I would definitely choose this place over other all- you- can- eat places because I never get the fishy after taste. And I usually get a stomach ache after getting sushi/ sashimi but when we go eat here. My stomach always feels comofortable after eating from Tera Suhi. Also, the atmosphere is cozy and comfortable. We bring our guests and they really loved it...
Read moreMy local secret spot. If I care about you, I'll share that this has been my favorite spot to eat sushi for the past 2 years. Great quality of fish, sashimi melts in your mouth, and great chef specials available! My favorite is a Toro plate with caviar the chef puts together. It is absolutely the best thing, and I usually get it every time. The flavors are insane, and it is a bit pricey, but it's completely worth it. The presentation is sometimes different, but flavor is always great. Lobster roll is another great option! They have Happy Hour everyday and it has been the most amazing thing ever! I used to go here for special occasions, but now I've been going so often, I think I'm at 5x in the...
