" During my last visit to Temari Cafe, I ordered the chirashi bowl and it was a lovely presentation! However, the amount of fish served was less than I expected based on past experiences. The flavor was still nice, but I felt a little let down by the portioning. Still, the service was great, and I loved the cozy vibe of the restaurant. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been visiting Temari Cafe for years, and it never fails to deliver! Everything I’ve tried has been great, especially the okonomiyaki! I've always found the staff to be friendly, and the atmosphere is intimate. Be prepared for a wait during weekends, but it's definitely worth it. This place is a gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" Temari Cafe is a great spot for anyone craving Japanese food. I loved the gyudon, which was flavorful and substantial. The service could use some improvements, as the staff seemed overwhelmed at busy times. Nevertheless, the food kept me satisfied, and the dessert menu was tempting. I’ll return for another try. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can’t stress enough how authentic and delicious the food is at Temari Cafe! The ramen was delightful, and the staff was exceptionally hospitable. The atmosphere was reminiscent of the many cafes I visited in Japan. Definitely a must-try for anyone looking for genuine Japanese cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I enjoyed my time at Temari, I must mention that the wait was quite lengthy, which affected our experience. The food was delicious, with tender sushi and a savory ramen. However, some specialties seen in other Japanese restaurants were missing. The ambiance was cozy and inviting – a nice touch for casual dining. " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who has traveled extensively in Japan, I can confidently say that Temari Cafe provides an authentic experience comparable to many I’ve visited in Japan. The tonkatsu was crispy, with a depth of flavor that impressed me. The restaurant itself is quaint and cozy, with a traditional feel. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Japanese food in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations for Temari Cafe given its reputation, but I left somewhat disappointed. The food was decent but didn't exceed my expectations. The ramen broth was a bit bland, and I expected more from the noodles. Service was friendly, though I found them overwhelmed during peak hours. I'm willing to give it another shot to explore more dishes. " (*Curated Review*)
