Such a cute little place for lunch! My husband and I stopped in by chance and everything was wonderful. Seeing the staff greet regulars with such warmth made it apparent that this is a great place with hospitality that goes above and beyond. The ramen had delicious broth, and my husband loved his chicken teriyaki. The Japanese market upstairs was so cute too! It made for a great little afternoon outing.

Excellent food and service. Hard to get in sometimes but well worth it if you're driving up the highway.

I have been coming to Temari for years. It is easily my favorite Japanese restaurant. I will happily drive the 2 hours to get the authentic offerings I can't seem to get back home, like proper donburi and curry rice. Staff is always nice, food is always excellent.

food is so good but the spaces of the restaurant is small only for 2 or 4 person fit in one table but i love the complimentary salad and hot tea,im coming back coz' the food is great and service too...
Perfect little spot for Japanese cuisine. Don't be intimidated if there is a wait! It's worth it and service is fast so you won't be waiting long. The onigiri is great.
I'm a lover of Japanese food, since I grew up in Japan for 18 years. After coming back to the US, it's been a journey to find a place that hit almost all the right buttons. I first started coming here back in 2012, and the owner, an elder Japanese gentleman was running the show. It was spectacular! I got to know him a little bit, because I speak fluent Japanese, and I had to tell him that I'd been looking for a place that would rekindle my taste memories from when I lived in Japan. My wife and I went there regularly for the next 12 years, about every other month or so. A few years ago, right after Covid, I learned that the elder gentleman had retired and returned to Japan. Over the course of the last 3 years, the quality has steadily decreased, since there wasn't the guiding hand of a true Japanese Master Chef, who trained his people of many nationalities to do a wonderful job. We went there today to get the "taste of Home" and were VERY disappointed. The quality of the dishes were sub-par at best. My wife got the Unagi-don, broiled and seared eel, with an "eel sauce" that was, well, pure trash. It was vinegary, and thin. Not any kind of eel sauce that I have ever tasted. It tasted more like the gyoza dumpling dipping sauce. Terrible! Then, I got the Chashu Pork Ramen, which has 3 or 4 thick slices of pork, along with bean sprouts, sliced fish cake, and 1/2 of a boiled egg.... The pork was so cold, the ramen soup got cold within 3 minutes of it being served to me. And, since the original Cha-shu ramen hails from Fukuoka, Kyushu, Japan, it would normally have a miso-based soup. Not this stuff. It was a vinegary, soy sauce based soup. So, we didn't order any real appetizer, and definitely didn't want dessert. I'm afraid that we won't be returning there any more. It was quite the let down. Service was great, though!
We visited for the first time this evening, on the recommendation of a friend who’s been dining at Temari for years. Just as she told us it would be, the atmosphere was warm and cozy. Business was steady. When we left, there were two parties waiting to be seated, which for a small establishment speaks volumes. Despite being busy, the servers were engaging and attentive (always offering to clear debris and empty dishes from the table, too). The food presentation was timely and appealing. When seated, we ordered tea, which was lovely, and served in the most beautiful - possibly handmade? - mugs. I look forward to returning.

My friends took me to their fav spot. They've been coming here for years.
It was a lot more casual than I realized but still very cozy. The service was friendly.
My food was excellent. My friends recommended the dish and I wasn't disappointed. The salmon was prefect and the rice and miso soup were great. Definately recommend.

I enjoyed my meal very much! The food was delicious and comforting, and it was very filling as well. I highly recommend this restaurant. The portions are reasonable and all the food was fresh!! The dishes were well-paired, and I can’t wait to try more of their menu. 100% recommend trying the Hokke
