“This will be long, so please read.....

I have been coming to Temari for 15 years. Danny and Saki feel like family. They made this place the best sushi place in the valley, in my opinion. When I heard they sold, it was like a gut punch. I was mad, angry, sad.. a lot of emotion for a sushi place. LOL I read some new reviews and vowed no more Temari for me.... But, I felt I should I give it a fair shot... I am so so so glad I did..

First thing I noticed is hwo bright and clean the place is. It looks bigger. It is bright, airy, open, and not so dark. I like that change.

The bathrooms are bright and clean!

The service was great. We LOVED our old servers but lets admit it was not very attentive. The place was packed on Saturday night and our servers was great- friendly, kind, and attentive.

We spoke with the new owner-Jinsu- many times and he was great.

Now to the important stuff- the food:

I will start with my truly only negative- The staple of Temari is the Primo Roll. They have made it spicier- almost too spicy. It was good, mind you, but I want my original primo, drowning is sauces, mild taste. This was upsetting, but,again, the new Primo was very good..just not the Primo.. :(

White dragon- amazing- Less eel flakes on top which allowed the fish to be the hero. It was also less smoky. This was delicious and for my favorite roll, I am very happy.

Amazing Grace was clean and fresh and well balanced.

My wife loved the new Salmon pepper- seemed cleaner and crisper. She wanted a second roll, but we had just finished 7. :)

Las Vegas- delicious- less breading, more fish, less crispy- more like a soft shell crab. A fantastic roll- Far less sauce which allows fish to come through

Pretty in Pink- still a sweet favortite but without the pink flakes I could taste the delicious fish.

Hamachi- was absolutely amazing!! Fantastic..

Overall we really enjoyed the New Temari. Instead of comparing, I think we will close the book on Danny and Saki's Temari which brought us so much joy and delicious food over the years. We look back fondly on it and wish Saki and Danny nothing but the absolute best- Thank you both for bringing such delicious sushi and joy to our lives.

Now, we open a new chapter with Jinsu's Temari- which from our first visit could our sushi place for the next 15 years!“

“Loved it ? Sunday special menu is just amazing. Highly recommend the Rock shrimp ? Chicken Omurai rice, Crispy Calamari, Tempura ? shrimp roll?♥️? everything is awesome. I sat at the bar, Excellent, fast and very courteous service ?♥️this was my second visit, and most definitely will not be my last.“

“Don’t miss this memorable sushi restaurant just because of its humble location! We had a fantastic lunch date here on a Thursday. The artistic decor and relaxing music are very chill vibes, plus they have a nice little patio.
We ordered the 9 piece sashimi lunch special, the salmon lovers roll (pictured) and the coconut chocolate crème brûlée. Delicious!!
Great service, reasonable prices, lots of weekday deals and happy hour offerings, but the best part is their expansive and creative menu of inspired dishes. We’ll definitely be back!“

“I want more!! Delicious food and amazing service!!“

“Food was excellent and the service o Impeccable. We will be returning.“

“Been here for sushi and Teppanyaki and it was really good every time. The food had so much flavor, the cooks are hilarious, very knowledgeable and most importantly, make great food. The service was really good, very accommodating. I see several reviews on here about people saying the complete opposite, which is crazy to me, because every time I’ve been here it’s been extremely good.“

“Our server was the sweetest, the only downside was we waited a bit over 40-50 min for our food once ordering and the tables are really close to one another so you can hear the other tables conversation. Overall it is aesthetically pleasing the drinks are so savory and cute for a date night“

“Theyve got a very busy counter. You can get car insurance quotes, lollipops, support your local soccer team, find an accident attorney and oh yes order food. Good quick asian food we've been to numerous times. Sushi was decent but it's not a sushi restaurant. Portions are generous. Staff is nice“

“I will be back. The sushi was very fresh. The chef's choice was delicious. The wasabi was fresh. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to try sushi for the first time or has been eating sushi for a long. Great atmosphere, I'm just not a fan of the music.“

“always delicious, fresh, amazing food with the best waitstaff around.“

“Quiet, relaxed and amazing food, wish they were open on my lunch hour cause I works so close but oh well still love this place…I randomly start craving their spicy tuna poppers they are so good- everything I’ve ever ordered has been excellent actually (:“
