Temari Fine Japanese Cuisine - Gilbert

Wow. I was blown away. This was by far one of the best sushi places I have been to. After relocating back to Phoenix one thing that I have missed was good sashimi. Between the service and quality I will be a repeat customer.

I’ve been here twice and this is by far the best suishi I’ve had anywhere. The attention to perfection is obviously a top priority and paying $15 a roll is worth it. They have like 100 suishi choices and is worth coming back often. I personally loved Amazing Grace, Primo, and anything saucy.

Great sushi. Selection is great, flavor and texture combinations are awesome. White dragon and Hawaii 5-0 were the best of the 7 rolls we had. All were good or very good. I'll be going back again and again.

After a few times we went there and didn't wanted to wait in such a long line, we finally got our chance to visit this high rated restaurant. (They don't take reservations) This time we only waited about 10 mins then got sat. I was very excited to finally trying this place due to its great reviews. This is a very small and kinda unique Japanese restaurant. It only has 7 tables including 4 or 5 small tables. And a half sized sushi bar. Usually small sized sushi restaurants are the most authentic ones. But this one was a disappointment!First of all, they don't have anything we loved on their menu items. Things like uni, toro, salmon belly or even a oyster shot. Their menu items are extremely mediocre. The sashimi on their sashimi plate were bigger cut but quality was just very so so. They do have lots of special rolls on the menu but unfortunately we're not big fans of rolls. We want good quality and different variety of raw fish (sashimi) when it comes to sushi. Second they were out of half of the appetizers on menu. We didn't have many choices so we can only get tofu and tempura. Third they're very limited on their sake list. I believe I only saw 3 or 4 different sake to choose from. Lastly I hate to say this. But the food there are extremely salty! (Not the sashimi and sushi). But the couple rolls we ordered, they were salty and very heavy sauced. And the tempura udon, omg! I felt I was drinking ocean water. It's that salty! Why...??Anyways service was ok. The 2 waitresses were nice enough but they were too busy the whole time. So it was hard to try to get anything from them. Sushi chefs had no personalities.Guess we were too excited for this place after all. Bill was $180+ including 2 sakes for the 3 of us. But the whole experience.. What a disappointment! We probably won't be back here again..

Delicious sushi, a bit expensive. A great range of rolls! Their menu is the best I've seen, with descriptions of much of the rolls. It was busy and it was a great new try.Food: 5/5
