Sushi

Love this place. Very clean and the food has always been great. I think at some point it's going to be hard to get a table here, until then we will keep coming back and enjoying the food and atmosphere.

We ordered sushi, katsu, and all the trimmings. The Tokyo Hambago was amazing and I'll be getting it again! The sauce was rich and full of flavor. If you are not sure what to get or want something super savory you should go for it. They have a parking lot in the back which is really great because street parking is difficult in that area. We enjoyed eating outside and the service was great.

Everything was amazing! Loved the hot Vegas roll tuna nacho appetizer, rainbow roll and thick pieces of tuna sashimi. This was the best, I’m definitely coming back for more and amazing service.

My new favorite sushi spot. I am impressed at the cuts and quality of sashimi. The sashimi is delicious and fresh. The service is on point and the cooked food is next level. This restaurant prides in quality and provides a great experience. If you’re in the area or just looking for a good sushi restaurant that will meet your expectations, I highly recommend this restaurant. 100%

The sushi is delicious and fresh. Service is great, prices are reasonable, and atmosphere is pretty awesome with the garage opened up. I recommend the unagi hand roll. It’s absolutely delicious and is one of the cheaper items on the menu. A nice warm bowl of miso soup comes free with every order (and is also delicious). Sapporo comes out ice cold of course. I highly recommend!

Finally tried this spot out last night, and it did not disappoint. Walked in and was surprised to see it almost empty. Entrance was a bit awkward as it was a tight squeeze between trying to get in as someone was paying for their to-go order. It was awkward because even though the staff saw us standing there, I felt like we weren't acknowledged until the lady walked out. No biggie. Small oversight. We were sat at a table and our server, same guy at the door who was handling the transaction, immediately brought us a water pitcher and two complimentary miso soups. I really appreciated that touch because not many places do that anymore, and it was perfect for the chilly evening. We asked for water cups, but he probably forgot. It wasn't very busy in there, but it looked like it was only him taking orders and serving. So my cousin took it upon himself to get them from another table. No biggie. The water was refreshing. The pitcher came infused with lemon and mint. A nice little touch. Onto the rolls, we split 3 rolls between the two of us: the Tuna Lover, The Crazy Roll and the Hawaiian. The tuna lover and crazy roll both come with spicy tuna inside, which I normally shy away from because I'm a baby. But our server said it was 5/10 spicy, so I figured I'd try them. They weren't too bad, but next time I'll stick to only one roll with spicy tuna. HAWAIIAN ROLL This was my and my cousin's favorite of the three. It comes with tempura asparagus & avocado inside and topped with tuna poke and avo. It was very fresh and the flavors melded together nicely. There was a chunk of tuna for every piece and plenty of avocado. The asparagus was perfectly cooked and did not overpower in flavor. TUNA LOVER This was our second favorite. It was a flavor bomb! From the spicy tuna inside, the smokiness of the seared tuna and sesame oil. We really enjoyed this one a lot, but the spicy tuna does pack a bit of heat... in a good way. CRAZY ROLL Ironically, we weren't crazy about this one. We were trying to decide between a regular crunch roll and this one (deep fried). We were recommended this one, and personally, not my cup of tea. It smelled and even tasted almost sweet. Not sure what they use to deep fry it, but my cousin said it almost reminded him of the taste of churros, so then I couldn't get that out of my mind haha. After 2-3 pieces I called it quits on that roll. I'll have to come back and try more of their fresh options, like their assorted sashimi or nigiri. Also gotta try their katsu; I hear it's some of the best outside of Japan. It's a very cute vibe. Flowers on the table. Nice place for a date. The indie playlist they had playing was nice. Could be a tad bit louder... my Shazam couldn't quite pick up all the songs. Other than that, only thing left to note is that their restroom is out back, but it is nicely stocked and clean.

I have been meaning to try Te-buru and glad I finally did! This area of Bixby Knolls is turning into its own mini Little Tokyo with Ramen Hub and Somi Somi all on the same intersection. Te-buru has great craft Japanese beer on tap, and the server brought me a taster of all the COEDO brews before ordering, which was a nice gesture. Sashimi was super fresh and well portioned, and I tried the Hambugu which was very tasty and a meal in itself. A lively and laid back atmosphere that invites you to linger, big screen sports in the background but not distracting if that's not your thing, and open late.

This is hands-down the best Japanese restaurant in the Bixby Knolls area and in my opinion the best in Long Beach. The menu covers everything you'll want, but stays specialized. Their sushi is S tier, the rolls are artistic and thoughtfully flavored, sashimi is always high quality. Pork Katsu has been perfect each time I've tried it. I want to try the Tokyo Hambagu next time, from the pictures I've seen it's an experience. If you're here for sushi, consider the Wow roll and the Yuzu Albacore Tataki (see pictures attached.)

UPDATE: I've been here a few times before for their katsu and sashimi, but today I had their roll (wow and yuzu albacore tataki) and wow... I am without words. This place has officially become my favorite sushi spot now. Go hurry! Why are you still reading this? Run! Great service and food. We especially loved the weekend lunch specials and the katsu!

Seriously the best sushi I've ever tasted! I love that they play jazz, have cozy ambience, and even project a movie sometimes on the wall

Might be our new go to spot in the area for sushi. Large portions, great service. Started with some complementary miso soup. Had the sashimi, two rolls, and mochi ice cream to finish. Highly recommend!

Shrimp tempura was so delicious, fish was super fresh, nigiri was amazing!

Ben Furriel

My first time here...wow...just wow. Great staff, modern classic decor and atmosphere. Most importantly the food is outstanding. Definitely a cut above the "typical" LB sushi spot. Wife and I had mixed tempura (light crisp amd hot) two sushi rolls (wonderful mixed of flavors with beautiful presentation) the soft shelled crab appetizer (delicious, much larger than expected) and a beer. Atlantic Ave has many dining options, Te-buru is worth a trip for dinner. Do yourself a favor and have a dinner you'll remember. Do the community a favor and support local establishments doing great cooking.

Such a great place in the neighborhood! We went on a whim and our expectations were exceeded. We were seated fast, brought mint water and soup before ordering. Food came out fast and everything was delicious. This place is a well run machine. So glad to find a new sushi place a little closer to home!

This is one of my go-to favorites for dinner in Long Beach. I hasate to leave a review only because I might not be able to get in without a wait after people find out about this place but once you try this place if you're anything like me you'll keep going back for more. The prices are fair and the atmosphere is great with good music it's a small place but worth checking out if you're in the area.

Superb service and delicious, well prepared food! We were seated right away at a booth. We shared the yellowtail collar and the Hambugu Tokyo which was AMAZING. It had two enormous patties sitting on a yummy brown sauce with mushrooms and onions and fresh parsley, it had a side salad and a bowl of rice and a Sunnyside egg on top of the patties! I have never had anything like it and I have been to Tokyo. Anyway, the meat was tender and melt-in-your mouth delicious. It brought new flavors to my consciousness and I am glad we stopped by! As a plus and as mentioned in other reviews, they provide herb-infused spa water (tonight it was mint and lemon) as a palette cleanser and some of tbe best miso soup in my life - they even brought us second bowls! Very fast service with attentive servers. before our water was empty, they brought us a new carafe of spa water. there were guests of all ages here. it looks like a local and family favorite. prices are good. Relaxing holiday music was playing. parking can be a tad tight, but thee is neighborhood parking nearby. I'm glad I found this place based on the reviews- it is a small family run place and I love supporting entrepreneurs.

Great Japanese restaurant with very reasonable prices for the quality you get. The food was fresh, well-prepared, and honestly better than expected for the price. Parking is easy, which is a huge plus. Service was excellent — our server was friendly, attentive, and (not gonna lie) very good-looking 😄 Overall, great vibes, great food, and definitely a place I’d come back to.

Went in with a party of four. The infused water and free miso soup were a nice touch. We had the spicy rainbow rolls which were good quality and surprisingly filling for sushi. The sushi nachos were presented beautifully and a solid appetizer all around. When running out of wonton chips I was offered more which wasn't expected. Service was great, will return 👍🏻

It was ok. A bit pricy and they don't have tempura ice cream! I wrote this review after I felt nausea and vomited from eating here. The rice was kind of hard, not soft. Pretty presentation but it not that delicious. Good thing about this place is you don't need to order miso soup. It's part of the meal. One server only and she did a great job however, food was ok.

The atmosphere is good—not too big, not too small. They have a big screen playing ESPN, which is nice. The atmosphere was clean, and the food was tasty. They provide miso soup (on the house) and water when you sit, so that's a plus. Service was great. Note to parents: a stroller would probably not be suitable to bring in here since its not big inside. They do provide booster seats. I had the yummy roll.
