" I was taken aback by how busy Temari-zushi was! Despite the crowd, the staff managed to keep things moving smoothly, and the sushi came out promptly. I had the rainbow roll as well as some nigiri, and both were delicious. Each piece was fresh, with vibrant flavors that made me appreciate sushi even more. However, I felt the prices were slightly high—especially if you're quite hungry. The ambiance is fun, especially with some Pokémon decor that made everything even more enjoyable. Overall, a great place that I will recommend to friends looking for a good sushi spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! What a fantastic dining experience at Temari-zushi! I recently visited and ordered the omakase menu, which was a feast for the senses. Each piece of sushi was not only beautifully presented, but the flavors were remarkable. The fish found its firm, fresh texture, while the rice was soft yet perfectly seasoned—exactly what I expect from a top-notch sushi restaurant. The service was friendly and attentive, and I was genuinely impressed with the knowledge of the staff about the different dishes. I left feeling satisfied and will certainly be back to try more unique offerings. Highly recommend for sushi lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Temari-zushi based on previous reviews, but honestly, my experience was a bit underwhelming. The ambiance was nice and all, with cute decor, but the sushi lacked that authentic flavor I was searching for. I tried their signature temari sushi, which looked beautiful, but the taste fell short. The fish didn't have that fresh, buttery feel, and the rice was somewhat bland. Service was friendly, and they were attentive, but I expected more from the food. I might consider giving it another shot, but I think I’ll be looking for somewhere else for my sushi fix. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to dining here after reading the reviews, but my experience wasn’t the best. The service was a bit slow during our visit, and while the sushi was decent, it lacked that wow factor I expected. It was busy, which led to a lack of personalized attention. The vegan options were a nice surprise, but the atmosphere felt overwhelming due to the closeness of tables. Might be worth giving it another chance, but not my favorite. " (*Curated Review*)

" Temari-zushi is everything I want in a sushi restaurant! The service is prompt, and the environment is fun and colorful. I especially loved the variety offered in their sushi selections. Temari sushi was a first for me, and I was blown away by how cute and tasty they were. It’s definitely a place I’ll be returning to, not just for sushi but to explore their other menu items as well. Highly recommend to anyone looking for something fun and delicious! " (*Curated Review*)

" Sadly, my experience at Temari-zushi didn't live up to the glowing reviews. The service started off well, but it took a long time for our orders to arrive, and when they did, they were not as fresh as I'd hoped. The rolls were decent but lacked the creative flair that I often see in other sushi places. The atmosphere is lively, so it’s fun to be there with friends, but unless they step up their food game, I don't see myself returning anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" A cozy little restaurant that delivers big on flavor! I ordered a variety of rolls and each one was better than the last. The freshness of the fish was evident, and it felt good to support a local spot. The decor adds a really fun vibe that makes for a great dining experience. I’ll keep coming back for the quality and creativity offered in their sushi dishes! " (*Curated Review*)
