We recently dined at The Temari Cafe. Although we observed limited vegetarian options and the staff's reluctance to modify menu items, everything else was excellent. The service was warm and welcoming, and the genuine Japanese ambiance set it apart. Unlike many eateries that mix Japanese elements with other culinary traditions, this cafe exuded an authentically Japanese aura. From the attentive service to the curated menu, it was markedly more Japanese than many venues we've frequented outside of Japan. The dishes, rich in traditional Japanese nuances, were imaginatively prepared, flavorful, and visually captivating, culminating in a delightful dessert. We eagerly anticipate our return to explore more of their offerings and hope to see an expanded vegetarian selection.

Great Japanese food made by lovely Japanese people. It's a tiny restaurant so go early The ramen and the fried chicken were incredible. Highly recommend!!

Avocado sushi was pretty good and good price. Right amount of rice and avocado. The karrake chicken not the best I’ve had compared to Akira. The batter they used wasn’t great and not crispy or it’s just not my style. The Chicken Katsu Donburi ($18.95) wasn’t that good! The rice was so mushy and the batter on the chicken fell off before I put the chicken into my mouth. It just didn’t deliver in taste and quality. Quite disappointing because I really wanted it to be good. Miso soup is really good! The dressing for the salad is superb! Brother ordered katsu and loved it.

????: Not cheap. $23 ish for one serving of Katsu Curry Rice ????: But it tastes sooooooo good! Better than most of the Japanese restaurants in the area. It’s like Mom’s homemade style. ???????????? ????: A pretty small store. Super busy around the lunch time.

Wonderful little authentic Japanese restaurant that reminds me of my time in Japan. The two Japanese grandmas are so sweet. I had the Unadon (eel with rice) and it was delicious but a little pricey. I'm glad to have found this place so I can revisit the taste of Japan when I miss it!
