How Oishi Teri Sushi Bar won Modesto’s hearts
The journey to becoming Modesto’s favorite sushi destination began with a commitment to authenticity and quality that never wavered.
When Oishi Teri Sushi Bar opened in 2015, Oseguera brought his vision of serving truly delicious Japanese food—the restaurant’s name “Oishi” literally means “delicious” in Japanese—to Coffee Road. 🌟
The restaurant’s unique twist on traditional sushi rolls immediately captured attention, with creations that balanced innovation and authenticity in ways diners hadn’t experienced before.
The Lobster Roll became legendary among locals, with diners calling it the best sushi they’ve found in the entire Central Valley.
The addition of Korean BBQ ribs, teriyaki bowls, bento boxes, and unique appetizers like bacon-wrapped jalapeños expanded the menu beyond sushi, giving diners more reasons to return. 🔥
During the pandemic, Oseguera’s resilience showed through as he adapted to takeout and delivery, offering 10% off online orders to support the community and keep his business thriving.
The restaurant’s expansion into a food truck called Oishi Teri Bowls brought their authentic Japanese cuisine directly to neighborhoods across Modesto, spreading their reputation even further.
This combination of innovative Japanese cuisine in Modesto, consistent quality, genuine hospitality, and community engagement transformed Oishi Teri Sushi Bar from a new restaurant into a beloved institution.
