Sushi Teri - Santa Barbara Japanese Restaurant — Restaurant in Santa Barbara

Without competition the worst Asian food I've ever had the misfortune of tasting. I ordered teriyaki beef and was given a pile of thin, leathery steaks that probably came in a package from Costco. If it weren't for the scoop of rice on the side and the teriyaki sauce it would've been a white trash family's idea of steak dinner. If you want food like that from Sushi Teri, just buy a large package of thin steaks from the dollar store. At least then you could cut them up before putting them in a teriyaki dinner.

I would leave 0 stars if I could - put an order in to go, and when they gave the total I let them know I had a gift card.

We don't even like Sushi Teri food (it was just a gift card we were just trying to use) - I can attest to how horrible the quality is, literally the sushi at Whole Foods is better than this trash. 0...

Great spot for casual sushi!

This restaurant caters to those nearby who might be looking for a convenient meal. While it’s definitely not top notch sushi quality, everything we had tasted good and did the job. Our server was a bit clueless when it came to recommendations and general service but perhaps they were new. While the quality of the fish was alright, the consistency and texture of the rice (and some of the fish) made me think perhaps it wasn’t the most fresh. I would also appreciate a more spacious spot that might not feel as cramped as this one.

There are so many sushi restaurants in town that might offer higher quality at similar pricing, but for minimal wait time and a quick meal, this might just be...
