The menu and handrolls at Temaki are incredible. The fish is incredibly fresh and practically melts in your mouth, while the rice is unlike any I've had before - a perfect balance of flavors and textures.
The ambiance was inviting and cozy, making it the perfect spot for sushi enthusiasts. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, helping me choose as I’m a bit of a fussy eater 😀
Incredible experience. Best restaurant I’ve been to in London this year. Best food, amazing friendly staff and loved every dish. Can’t wait to come back! Wow!!!
Well it was certainly a night to remember. It was my first experience sitting at the counter of a Handroll restaurant and it did not disappoint. The staff was very attentive and kind and took care of us very well, they have some real good people there. The food was all incredible it’s hard to pick favorites as each dish was flavorful, carefully put together, and presented well. The Otoro handroll, Crispy rice with spicy trout, and Soft shell crab tempura were some of my top choices though. My wife isn’t a big sushi fan and the staff offered great suggestions and even gave her a chicken tempura type dish offered on the lunch menu, which was amazing and she loved it. The Apple gyoza with miso glaze was a great ending to the night. 10/10!
Sophistcated Japanese fusion restaurant and all the plates were fantastic! I hadn't had such nice pieces of sashimi for a long time! A portion probably feels a bit too small for a big eater. Other than that, I love the place will go back again!
Strange there were not many people there but WOW delicious food. Not as polished service as I would have hoped , the owner chatted to people outside and they weren't super obvious about what they wanted us to do ...
Could be unbelievable if they just take more care with the professionalism of service.

This has rapidly become one of our favourite restaurants in London! The food is excellent and the service is just as good. Pantelis is a wonderful host and his friendly demeanour and affinity for conversation are very suited to the comptoir seating in the restaurant. The chefs are very lovely too, and are happy to interact with guests over the counter. The whole setup lends the restaurant a nice intimate and personal atmosphere.
The food itself is excellent. The handrolls are obviously the main event, but they also serve a selection of supplementary side plates and there's a rotating board of specials. By now we've sampled a significant portion of their menu and we can say with certainty that the best dishes are the miso aubergine, the fatty tuna, and the BBQ eel handrolls, as well as the crispy rice with trout tartare. But everything was delicious. The brown rice is an especially nice touch; it gives the sushi a lovely toasty cereal note. I highly recommend getting one of the set menus as the best way to sample a selection of handrolls, as it's more economical than ordering them individually. The only criticisms I can possibly think of were that the wagyu tataki could do with a touch more salt for my taste, and that occasionally the aubergine handrolls were served without the spring onion mentioned on the menu. But honestly the fact that this is the best criticism I can muster is testament to just how good this place is!
I seriously cannot recommend Temaki enough. If you're only a couple people then you should have no problem finding a space at the bar, but this place would also be a great venue for larger groups if you can book it out in advance. I encourage you to interact with the staff as they're very nice and it'll make your dining experience that much better.
Menu was slightly intimidating at first but every bite from our meal was epic. We had a couple of the temaki, crispy rice, a gyoza special and it was all incredible. The owner was in and had an off-menu item which he got the chefs to make for us too on the house which was a really nice touch. Lovely staff, lovely food, highly recommend.
Some of the best Japanese food I’ve ever had. A really interesting menu with incredible flavours and food made right in front of you. 1000% recommend, especially for date night/with a friend, as seating is around a bar
Possibly one of my new favourite restaurants in London. Sushi made in front of you while you sit at the bar, you get handed the sushi when it’s done, bit by bit, and everything is so tasty!
Food's fab, kind and attentive service, cool spot. Trout temaki and the fried rice topped w spicy trout were high points
Spontaneously booked here for a light dinner without expecting much and was very surprised at how high quality and well thought out the restaurant is! It’s a very intimate dining experience with only one ‘chefs table’ so you can see everything being prepared in front of you. Probably only seats 12 max, it does make you feel special! Would definitely recommend
Absolutely amazing!
This place was made for foodies. Small and accurate menu. Where everything you order (and we’ve ordered everything) is simply made to perfection. You’d think that eating hand rolls would stuff you, but this place just makes you wanna order more and more with light and fresh seasoning and best produce without a doubt I could eat there everyday.
I would say, if you’re in the area - go in! If you’re not - drive specially!
Amazing Japanese food, sake and wine @temakihandrollbar. Been wanting to try this for ages. Food was superb and staff were so friendly and took the time to explain all dishes and ingredients. Thoroughly recommend it!
Insanely good eats. If you know your stuff you’ll know the attention to detail both the owner and the chef have for the flavors and textures! The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable ! Will be eating there every time I’m in London!
An exceptional experience! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by friendly staff. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable, and I immediately felt at ease.
Each piece of sushi was expertly crafted and tasted absolutely delicious. The fish was fresh and flavorful, and the rice was perfectly cooked.
The sushi itself was of the highest quality and made, as you can see for yourself, with a great deal of dedication, passion and skill.
In addition to the food, the service was outstanding. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable, ( Thank you Mario for answering all my questions about the dishes 😊).
We had dinner there last week.
They were so friendly and courteous. The service was exemplary throughout.
The food was made in front of us and arrived quickly.
The fish was really fresh and each roll was delicious.
Great atmosphere, great food, great service. Thanks!
Divinely fresh sushi with a perfect bite to the nori and deliciously seasoned rice. Service was outstanding and there’s no food experience I enjoy more than having my sushi made right in front of me. Couldn’t recommend Temaki enough.
