The food and service are amazing! I had the New Zealand salmon nigiri special and the Dream Press Box. The best!!

Good selection of fresh fish on the daily menu. Plenty of specials too. They have plenty of local uni dishes including whole fresh uni. There’s a selection of good sake to go with the fresh seafood. Food is a 5 star for variety and freshness. The beige plates don’t show off the food enough and it’s hard to see the daily specials menu board from some tables. I wish they have a couple more copies on the walls. The daily fish selection is excellent!

Five stars all the way! We ordered off the specials board and enjoyed some fine sake. The food was outstanding, as was the service. Teru San accommodated our wishes to have three pieces of each (since three of us were dining together and wanted to eat the same food). I love that this place has the small vibe of a sushi restaurant in Japan. It’s also covid safe with tables set far apart from each other and high ceilings. I’m looking forward to my next visit!

I do not understand any of the bad reviews. I live in Santa Barbara and Teru is my favorite Sushi place in town. Authentic, friendly service and high quality food.

Amazing spot – truly feels like you’re dining in Japan. Incredibly fresh fish and over all best sushi (if not seafood) in all of Santa Barbara. In addition to the food, service is very thoughtful and attentive!

I forgot how vast the difference is between truly good sushi and cookie cutter sushi. Teru is delicious. The former Sakana chef is doing great things on State Street. We will definitely be back.

The food was delicious and the chef was super engaging and accommodating. He made us some amazing vegetarian rolls that aren’t on the menu. This unique place is a definite must for good food and friendly staff!
