I love Teri's place! My go-to plates are the hamburg steak with chicken karaage and the special combo, 10/10 recommend. Everything is fresh and homemade tasting...the flavors remind me of growing up local Japanese in Hawaii. Great service and cute little place to pick-up yummy food! Call in your order and it's usually ready in about 20 minutes.

Food ordered: -Special Combo - Karaage (fried chicken) is pretty good! Marinated beef are strips of thin grilled beef which is also very good since I can taste the "grill/char" on it. Both meats are surprisingly moist, not dry. Side of rice and bean sprouts. I rarely eat bean sprouts but they mix it with a sauce that makes it tasty, gives another crunchy element to the combo. It also comes with croquette (deep fried mashed potato) and wontons. Ask for pepper flakes on the side to add on top of it if you want a little kick. -Marinated beef bowl -Karaage bowl Japanese cuisine run by an older couple. Closed Mondays. I always call in my order during lunch and it's ready in 10 mins. Small shop - more for take out.

I've been coming to Teri's place since I was young, and the owners there are so hard working. It always looks like it's the 2 of them constantly answering phones and cooking. It's a pretty small restaurant that used to have a couple tables, but when Covid happened, it became a takeout place instead. The prices are very reasonable and delicious! Our favorite plates to order are the special combo, Teri beef plate, and the curry!

I'm no expert on Japanese food, but wow this little hole in the wall prepares amazing food. The service was friendly and accommodating. I ordered the combo plate which offers a whole lot of delicious food.

Teri's place is definitely if you know, YOU KNOW. Such a local north Torrance staple. I usually get the special combo because I love their croquette! The bean sprouts are so yummy. I've tried to recreate it at home but it's never like Teri's Place! Service is great! Since it's a local small business sometimes you'll have to wait a while for your food. Small location, mostly to go only. Definitely check it out though! You won't be disappointed!

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.
