Definitely comfort food. Excellent price for the amount of food that you get. Got the Teri Special that came with such variety! As long as you're not expecting gourmet food you will not be disappointed. Will be coming back! Very friendly staff. Not big enough for sit down so recommend take out.

My family and I have been regulars for years now. The lady at the front is always so sweet and friendly. I highly recommend the katsu curry. The katsu is warm, krispy and tender, and the curry is comforting and has the perfect amount of spice. Their dishes are always so consistently delicious.

My standby for lunch when I get tired of eating nijiya or Tokyo central bentos. I miss Currt House down the street.

Wonderful shop with delightful service currently only serving take-out. Clean and beautifully decorated ordering and pick-up area. Excellent and reasonable prices. The rating of this review is primarily based on the chicken combo plate, which unfortunately was a bit underwhelming. The fried chicken was juicy and overall well cooked, but both the marinated and teriyaki chicken were dry and not especially flavorful. Solid portion sizes. Overall, reasonable value for the price and will return to try other menu options based on the other strong reviews.

Atmosphere - Clean, take out only at this time. Customer service - FriendlyTaste - We ordered Chicken Karaage, Japanese Potato Croquette Korokke, Inari, Oyako Donburi. We loved everything. It was fresh, felt like it was cooked at home and very flavorful. Price - Average

There is still plenty on the menu for me to try out. My father often brings me the combo plate with the beef/karaage/teriyaki chicken. Which comes with a small side of salad, sprout bean salad, mac/potato salad, wontons, your mains, and a very hefty portion of rice. Unless you are a heavy eater, expect leftovers. Last night I enjoyed this togo again. This time I chose the Japanese potato croquette/Korokke dish. Comes with green salad, bean sprouts, big bed of rice with bonito flakes, and nori (dried seaweed). 2 large croquettes to top it off. Tasty platter. Growing up with a traditional Japanese grandmother who loved to cook brings my expectations high on specific dishes. Some things people just don't nail right flavor wise if it's in your culture and you grew up with it. This spot provides the goods for the cravings with Japanese and Hawaiian comfort foods.

I loooove Teri's. It was part of my work lunch rotation when I worked in Torrance. Never had something I didint like, even the ok dishes felt homemade. I usually go with the Chicken Combo plate, Teriyaki Chicken/Marinated Chicken and Fried chicken, basically Karaage.Curry is ok, katsubis good, Udon is good.Get the Inarin as a treat, yummy.Owners are super nice, always greet with a smile. Place is super small, too cozy, best to take out unless you avoid work rush.

The service here is always impeccable. The lady/owner is super friendly. The price is unbeatable for the amount of food and choice of protein. The special combo comes with a variety of fried items and meat, and there is always plenty of rice. Since I don't eat meat, I usually get the grilled mackerel combo which comes with a generous piece of fish. The entree is light, tasty, and filling. My only wish is for their menu to include more vegetarian items. this is a reliable, affordable, and tasty take-out joint. Note: you can order miso soup on the side.

Such an amazing place! Can’t believe I just found out about here. We ordered a special combo and a chicken combo, a side of karaage and croquettes. I love the karaage very much! It has a very homey taste. It feels like what my grandma would make for me back home. The combo plate comes with a salad and bean sprouts sides, both sides are tasty. My husband called ahead and went in to pick up with our son. He said the whole ordering and picking up process were very smooth, and the lady was very nice! She gave our son a lollipop which made him so happy. Highly recommend this place, good food, reasonable prices, great portion and friendly service!

Great family owned business with great Japanese food. Lots of variety and even my picky 9 year old loves their curry. One of our go to places. Never let's us down.

Love it one of my favorite places to eat anywhere (:

Excellent. Love the special combo ?

tl;dr: Tastes like value. Everything is great and not greasy. Counter lady is really nice and sweet. Go support.These are the kind of local places that are legit; nothing flashy, expensive, or hyped-up, Teri's place makes me feel like I traveled back to the good old days. A simply nice experience and some bomb OG Japanese/American style takeout.The sweet obachan greets you and takes her patience with you and your order. Honestly seeing someone like the lady at the counter makes your day better, even if you're already having a good one. If you go here often, you know who I'm talking about.Now onto the goods: their food is so worth the money. Even with today's increase in price, you can tell they don't mess with portion or taste. I got the special combo for $12.50 and it normally comes with a side salad (dressing is decent), marinated bean sprouts (tastes just like the Korean banchan ones, really good!), teriyaki chicken, marinated beef (almost like teriyaki but I wouldn't call it that since it ain't drenched in sauce), chicken katsu (they ran out and I actually got to substitute it with kaarage, two mini wonton filled with ground meat, and a potato croquette cut in half. Doesn't that seem like a lot of food? IT IS, AND IT'S JUST ONE ORDER..FOR $12.50!! (even though it was $8.50-$10.50 before but this is still cheap man).If I have to say, this meal made me pretty happy. Teriyaki chicken and beef were nicely charred. Both chicken were bouncy and juicy (ohh man their kaarage is soo good..my favorite out of the combo), beef marinade was light and tastes really great with their well-steamed rice (doesn't taste like cheap rice too). Potato croquette is the standard frozen ones but I definitely have no complaints. Even their wonton thing tastes great with a satisfying crunch every bite. My favorite part is there's nothing slathered with a pile of sauces like those "Japanese" teriyaki restaurants with their mediocre a** teriyaki sauce trying to cover the taste of baked microwave uncharred chicken -_-It's authentic, it makes you feel at home, it satisfies. What more can I say?
