We love sushi and this place always delivers! The 911 roll is especially delicious :)

I used to come here all the time but have stopped because the quality is not what it used to be. I don't know if it's new ownership or they just got lazy, but you get fast-food sushi quality for haut-cuisine prices.

The tuna was dry and hard on the corners, as if it had been sitting in the fridge for a day. I asked for them to change it and they told me I should just order something else because all of the sushi was "as fresh as this."

The waiter wasn't rude but I think he should have changed my dish. I ended up paying a bundle for a bowl of rice and teriyaki chicken.

Prices are high even for the area. There is valet parking. Ambiance is nice, quaint, and traditional Japanese-looking.

Twice we have been hoodwinked! The first time there were some extra sakis on our bill. OOPS!
Then we ordered to go food and they added an 8 percent gratuity....They don't give you an itemized list, just a bill with the total!! Make sure you ask for the list of food! I have found this in another sushi restaurant as well. since you (me) can't read Japanese..they figure you will never know!!!

I go once or twice a week and sit at the bar. Order a spicy tuna hand roll with avocado on soy paper, then order a baked crab hand roll on soy paper, then order the yellowtail. Next, try to remember three things you have eaten in a row in the past that could possibly compete!!!

I don't go on Monday's as Richard the sushi chef is not there. He is THE MAN when it comes to sushi!

Teru is located on Sushi Row- there are literally sushi restaurants on every block on Ventura Blvd. However, I think Teru stands out from the crowd of sushi restaurants with its excellent menu, and very nice ambiance.

In fact, I would even dare to go as far as to say that Teru is BETTER than Katsuya. I know, I know, blasphemy. But seriously, the sushi is ALMOST as good, maybe as good. And the environment in the restaurant is so much nicer. And you can always get a table.
