8 reviews for Terryin Restaurant and Bar
I live right around the corner from this little spot. I would still come here for sushi. The sushi is consistently pretty darn good. And they have some inventive specialty rolls. However the real star is the price. You can fill up on delicious sushi for what 2 rolls cost at most places. It is not the kind of place I would go with a sushi snob, but for being right around the corner, I am all about it.If you find yourself in Pennsport looking for a sushi fix, look no further (not that there is anywhere else to go!). Last night I had the Philly roll, spicy tuna, Christine (Eel, Spicy Tuna, Avocado, rolled in tempura sprinkles and covered in roe), Dynamite roll (Crab, Salmon and asparagus, deep fried), and Cali roll I believe.
The specialty rolls were really good, and all of them were above average. And the bill was $30. We brought our own Sake, and they heated it up for us. Very polite and great service. They also infuse their water with lemon, which is a very refreshing twist when eating their fresh sushi. I am not sure if they sell alcohol, it appears other people have gotten beer and sake there. But we brought a bottle of organic sake and they did not charge any corkage and graciously heated it for us.
Our fellow diner was vegan and he loved the miso, asparagus roll, and tofu General Tso's. I tried the Tso's and it was really quite tasty. If you are into that sort of thing. We were all very content, and the wallet was left intact. I will certainly be back. One word of advice. I ordered delivery from there a while back. It was just your average run of the mill crappy Chinese. I was not impressed. As a side note, does anyone know anywhere that has some really good Chinese delivery in South Philly?

Great sushi, great prices and good service!
I love this place, just around the corner to eat in, pick up or they have super quick delivery. Try the dragon roll and japanica roll and any special they have that day.
I live around the corner and my part of Pennsport is still 'up and coming'... but this place is a gem and I've been coming here regularly since it opened. They have consistently fresh, cheap sushi and they also have Saki and Japanese beers!
One side of the menu has vegetarian, lunch specials, and as a bonus, thai and chinese options (for those friends who "cant eat raw fish"). The other side has standard rolls, specialty rolls, maki, and combos. Plus, the servers are really nice and they remember your order if you go there enough :) Steamed dumplings + Spicy Yellowtail Roll + Saki = $10.

I too was sketchy about eating at this chinese/japanese restaurant, but to my surprise, the food is actually very good and cheap ! MY friends and I always go here, we're always welcomed, despite the fact that we're really loud. Once, we ran out of wasabi, and the lady brought us a new plate of wasabi. The service is good, they give you hershey kisses or oranges with the bill :)
I used to live across the street from here, but back then it was a bar/club, but gosh, if I still lived there, I would eat sushi/rolls every night !

This place is great for the fact that they are super close to my home. My boyfriend eats here once a week and loves it. The prices are great and the sushi is fresh. So why the 3 stars..? I would like some more veg/vegan options for myself. The atmosphere and service were good though.
Just an Update: We brought in a party of 11 and our own bottle of sake and the staff was extra AWESOME about it. The whole dinner took up about 2 hours and we left full and happy, also a few minutes later than closing time. They never rushed us. So, they do large groups well AND its also a BYOB.

I am so pleased to live about two blocks away from this little place. The sushi has been consistently fresh and beautiful, and I will say the specialty rolls are not as thick as at other sushi spots, but they are much cheaper, so I can't complain. They are really fast, sometimes when I call instead of the standard 10 minutes, the girl says 'you can just come now', and its totally ready when I get there. They also have a Chinese food menu in addition to the sushi, and everything I have had from that has been good too. They have my favorite take-out junk food, the pizza roll, and they do it well. The only thing I have ordered from there that I have regretted was the crab meat soup. My roommate will eat anything except sweet potatoes, and even he turned his nose up at it and said it looked like placenta. I always get take out, but you can eat-in as well, and if you do you can get wine by the glass or have a Kirin or Asahi.
I agree with everything you people have said. You can't beat it, the prices are cheap the food is excellent, the rolls are fresh and very very clean. The staff was awesome and service excellent. The location of it is kind of crazy but that's part of the charm i guess. Overall if you couldn't tell I loved it!!
