Literally translating to “hand roll,” Temaki Bar celebrates the tradition that all perfect hand rolls should be eaten within seconds of the chef passing them across the counter — while the rice is still warm and the fish, fresh and chilled. In keeping with tradition, Temaki Bar’s hand rolls are prepared counter-side and made-to-order, highlighting the freshest seafood featuring blue crab, yellowtail, salmon, and more.Temaki will celebrate traditional sushi-making with Chef Jojo Ruiz, local veteran chef and San Diego native at the helm.

We came here for lunch on Easter Sunday. It’s bar seating only which is super fun to see them making the food and has a real artsy community vibe. Everything came out really fast and was made fresh, don’t miss out on the dipping sauces ! Next time I want to get the ninja bunny roll bc the presentation makes it worth it. Accessible entrances and bathrooms as well.

Yummy sushi spot in a great location, the sweetest hostess was able to seat me right away even though I joined the waitlist walking over. The ambiance and service was incredible, had a couple sake bombs before heading to the beach! I got the crispy bang bang shrimp and the west coast Philly with/ spicy mayo I couldn’t even tell the cream cheese was vegan. I can’t wait to come back for happy hour with my friends(:

As an EX- Sushi chef, this place was amazing, more traditional-style sushi, not covered in sauce. Relies on the delicious tasting fish. And it WAS delicious and fresh. Lobster Queen was amazing. Chef Miles was very knowledgeable, and torched our nigiri on Cedar wood, smoking it in the process, it was so smoky and good I didn’t know what fish it was, mistaking simple hamachi for something much fancier. 10/10 spot.

We stopped in for a quick bite. I love the large bar seating. The handrolls are tasty. We tried the 5 rolls, spicy tuna, scallop, shrimp, yellowtail, and salmon. We also got the lobster roll with crispy onions. All we very fresh and delicious.

What an experience! Kevin was the sushi master tonight, every recommendation he offered was amazing. Service was top notch, ambience was amazing and the food was incredible. I can’t believe the prices are so low for the quality of food. This is the SPOT! 11/10 !! If I could go higher than 5 stars I would!

We’ve been waiting for a while for this new place to open! Finally it is on! First be aware this place is busy! We had to wait 45min to 1h on the waitlist after showing up. If you can put yourself on the waiting list before going. Food was good and the ambiance was pumping!

I think I had better sushi just about anywhere else. the cut rolls come in 6 basic flavors,yet they all seem to taste the same. chewy seaweed and mushy unidentifiable ingredients

The vibe and service were very good but the food disappointed. We ordered the hand rolls and the seaweed was so chewy I couldn’t bite through it. The shrimp and yellowtail rolls did not taste fresh either. Overall, I do not recommend.

Food was very good, service suffered a few mix-ups but they took care of it. The hand rolls were all very good – seaweed was exceptionally crispy and all fish was really fresh. While we were only a party of 2 they had reversed our orders and so my wife and I were eating each others rolls. However they fixed it and ensured we got what we ordered. Once or twice someone else’s order was attempted to be given to us but they eventually figured it out. Staff was very apologetic about the mix-ups.
