    We had a phenomenal meal and our service was great. Our server did a really good job about making sure my daughter’s allergies were considered and went over and above. Loved the patio view and location. Everything was amazing.

    Actually such an unreal sushi spot! I would highly recommend this if you live in/are visiting Vancouver. My two friends and I went last night and were blown away. The salmon sashimi is the most stunning colour and it melts in your mouth. All of the rolls we got were so unique and had so much depth of flavour. The miso soup was also the best miso soup we all have ever had (usually not a menu item that overly shines but it did at Temaki)!! I’d highly recommend the Sunshine roll as well—it’s vegetarian but was a highlight of the night for us. The service was also amazing and the ambiance inside is 10/10. It was consistently busy all night and with good reason. Make a reso beforehand and check it out—you won’t regret it! (P.S they have the cutest nigiri sushi clock near the hostess stand!)
