Best. Place. Ever. I do not spend money on non-grocery store food unless it is here. The staff is very kind and accommodating and they serve the greatest sushi I've ever had. The prices are affordable, the interior is small and calm, and I always enjoy stopping in. Me and my friend come here at least once or twice a week, and we will continue to do so for as long as it is around! read more

Really good! Great service. Sushi is very tasty. Only reason it's 4 stars is because the ramen isn't great but I guess that's a given since it's more of a sushi place. I got the combo sushi plate and it comes with 18 pieces of sushi, miso soup, and salad. Great deal read more

Great service! Love a good Byob. Get the spicy hamachi! (They call it Hamchi on the menu, not sure why) wait staff has been with them for as long as I can remember, they had a previous location in town, but moved to State St. Love that they are getting more traffic and exposure. Nice stop if you are in Media. read more

Temaki is just OK. It truly depends on what you order and when you go. We happened to visit for lunch on a slow Thursday - and we were early - 11:45 AM. Our server, Matt?, was nice. We both got basic Salmon Bento Lunch Box specials ($16) and they were fine. Not mind blowing but fine. Better sushi at Yuki in Newtown Square or in Philly. read more

Ordered several rolls for lunch today. The tuna color was pale pink, not the dark pinkish red I'd expect. Made me wonder how fresh it was. I was excited to see a white tuna roll, but it was only white tuna and white rice, no other ingredients to complement the fish. Generally everything was just ok, flavor was rather bland. They were better during the summer so I'm surprised at the poor quality this time. read more

Sushi was fresh and miso soup was good. Tuna takaki was a top notch appetizer. Sushi had was classic crispy spider roll, spicy crab roll, spicy scallop roll. I ate with a friend who had some trouble w textures. This is normal with many of the people I have run into. So I had decided to avoid anything not salmon or a more common seafood. He had some ramen and added chicken. The ramen was off for him. I couldn't smell this bad smell but it was bad for him. This place isn't known for ramen and since I can make my own and since a relative of mine got mad at me when I ordered instant, I have a tendency to look for handmade only or to just go eat something else or elsewhere. He was also very hungry. Temaki was so nice to not charge us for the ramen dish. I don't really know if there was anything wrong with it. I had considered the boat but you really need a relatively open food mind for the boat even though it is typical of quality sushi restaurants. They also offered an all sushi and and all sashimi package. I wanted more of a mix like a love boat package but smaller quantity. We ended up going a la carte. read more

I don't go to Media much but it was nice stumbling upon this sushi place. The inside wasn't very big but everything was nicely spaced out. I dined in for lunch specials and was very pleased! I got a teriyaki shrimp bento box that came with shrimp, rice, California rolls, egg rolls, and dumplings. So many things to munch on and taste. The star of the dish was the shrimp and yummy egg rolls. All the sides were all veg friendly too! The sushi was good! Nothing over the top exciting but worth a lunch try. The lunch rolls didn't have much of a description so I have no idea what the spider roll was but again everything was good! read more

I judge all sushi joints on their sweet potato tempura rolls... Temaki is the reason for this and has been the golden standard for a decade or so, for me. BYOB, solid service, and dining under the stars - for which you CAN make a reservation here (not all DUTS-participating places do) gives an amazing ambiance with the live musicians and community coming together. Take out is just as amazing as dine-in! Thanks, Temaki, for being awesome and being part of the Media community! read more

I didn't love this place. But it might be because I ordered the wrong thing - my dining partners got sashimi and sushi and loved their meals. I ordered the ramen which I was really looking forward to. And our server helped me pick which ramen I would want. I also ordered an app. My ramen came out first about 10 minutes before my dining partners' meals. Then my dining partners' meals came out. And then my app came out when I was more than halfway done my ramen. Sadly, i found the broth of my ramen lackluster. If I come here again I would definitely get sushi as that was a hit with the rest of my table. read more

Ordered delivery for a bunch of rolls and tempura. The taste was good, nothing too bad. But the sizes of the sushi rolls were smaller than expected. The tempura was good but the sauce provided tasted bottled. However, no issues there. I would have probably given 4 stars if we got proper sized sushi rolls. read more

Temaki Sushi was very accommodating with my boyfriend's severe nut allergy -- we phoned them to ask if it would be an issue and they assured us that they don't really work with nuts and that they could ensure our sushi rolls would be totally nut-free, which of course they were. We both ordered their Lunch Special Combos to go, which come with either 2 or 3 rolls depending on which combo you get and a small ginger salad and miso soup. They were terrific deals and I was blown away by how fresh the sushi was. I had the California Roll and the Tuna Avocado Roll and I wouldn't have changed a thing about either one -- they were both so yummy. This is 100% going to be my new go-to sushi spot nearby. They're also located right in Media's adorable downtown area so next time, I'm hoping to opt for sit down dining instead of the takeout we got today! read more

I went to Temaki with some friends not too long ago. It was okay, nothing to write home about. The sushi was pretty skimpy, and the service was a little slow. Overall, it was disappointing. read more

I am surprised at the ratings I see on Yelp (I expected higher). Temaki moved to this location a couple years back. We have many sushi options in the area but, when we want our favorite rolls, we get it from Temaki. Our favorite (huge roll) is the New Dragon roll. We have ordered all across the menu though and always enjoyed it. The prices are appropriate and the service is super. read more

We have seen great inconsistency lately. My sashimi was stringy and inedible on Saturday. Yet other times great. Sushi is an expensive treat, so we will try some other places going forward. read more

I came here with my parents on Valentine's Day because my mom was craving some ramen. We ordered the Tonkotsu ramen, sizzling chicken teriyaki plate, a bunch of rolls for me (yellowtail nigiri, yellowtail scallion, shrimp tempura, crunch roll, and eel cucumber roll). The ramen was mediocre. Noodles were way too soft, broth tastes like beef broth you'd find at a grocery store, and there were barely any toppings. Cha shu was tough and had no fat. That was a bummer. The chicken teriyaki was subpar. Chicken was dry. My dad was a trooper and ate it all. I know most of the reviews here raves about the sushi. I can't lie, the sushi isn't too bad for Media standards. However, I can tell the fish wasn't too fresh and the rolls were 70% rice and 30% filling. I was just way too hungry to even care (my rolls came out 20 minutes after my parents received their entrees). Maybe I'd order to-go sushi from them again, but that's about it. Service was great though! read more

I love Temaki! We get takeout here about 2-3 times a month. We've also eaten in and it has a nice ambiance- BYOB and there is a beer shop nearby. I usually get the salmon avocado, crunch roll, and 007. I've always been impressed with the freshness and creativity of their rolls! I think the best in Media. read more

Our waitress was so nice and the service was so quick. The food was truly amazing and I definitely recommend. I really enjoyed my meal, thank you!! read more

I love it here! This is my first review but I have been here several times. Each time was during lunch so first off, the prices at lunch time are way better then the dinner prices. At lunch time there are specials that come with a salad and miso soup or your choice of bento box lunch. At lunch they are never really crowded so it was easy to get a table, get our food and enjoy. The dinning room is a bit tight. It is quiet. We ordered several things. The Snow White roll, avocado fries, tuna jalapeño poppers and spicy tuna roll. Everything was really good and had really good flavor. I really enjoy the avocado fries. They were hot, soft in the inside and crispy on the outside. Lunch for two was about 38 dollars. In Media that's not so bad for Media. I only gave them 4 stars because they are on the pricey side for lunch. read more

My husband and I went on a Wednesday night for media dining under the stars. Unfortunately the weather wasn't warm but we still ate outside anyways. We got 3 appetizers, the monkey brain, yakitori, and takoyaki. The monkey brain was avocado with spicy tuna inside deep fried with spicy mayo on top. I thought it was creamy and crunchy and delicious. Why didn't I think of that? Haha I look to recreate that at home. The yakitori came with 3 skewers with chicken breast and scallion drizzled with teriyaki sauce. This was ok, nothing notable ot tasty. The takoyaki was flat on the bottom and it was small. 6 balls were included in the order. They were crunchy on the outside which was great and had the octopus and creaminess inside. Topped with sauce, mayo and bonito flakes and seaweed. They were pretty comparable to ones in Japan just smaller and not completely round like they are supposed to be. Entrees were ok. My husband got the combo c which had spicy tuna roll, tuna roll, and yellowtail roll I think. They give you a bunch of fish in the roll which is pretty notable. It just wasn't amazing. It was ok. I got the chirashi and it was a let down. The tamago had a weird texture. The sashimi all had no taste except for the salmon and the white fish that I forgot the name of. The rice with the chirashi wasnt seasoned well some bits tasted like vinegar other parts just tasted like white rice. Overall it was an ok experience and its byob. I've been to better sushi places just wish they were closer to where I lived. If I went back I'd definitely just get the rolls and the monkey brain. read more

Their menu is not accurate and they don't care. Would never have ordered what I did had I known what was really in it. Ate maybe 6 bites but they didn't care. Just wanted to sell me another meal. Yeah no. read more

The sushi here is delicious!! The first time I came, I had the lunch special, so just some basic rolls. They were really good. It comes with a starter salad and soup (both small but not bad). The second time, we expanded a little bit. I started with the spring rolls and they were so good. They came in like 6 or 8 pieces with a sauce on the side. Then, I had two different sushi rolls. They were all so delicious. My friend who had only gotten one roll ended up ordering two more!! Then we shared chicken teriyaki - also delicious! Its a great little spot, we like to sit outside and eat when the weather is nice, and it's not overpriced either. Definitely a good go-to sushi spot. read more

5 stars for Chef Aki! This was the most fun I have had in a sushi restaurant. Sit at the sushi bar and tell Chef Aki how many rolls you want and let him take it from there. You will enjoy his creative rolls such as the Momi roll while his interactive and fun personality blend with delicious food! I don't know exactly what was in each of the 4 rolls we had however each one was delicious and sitting at the sushi bar watching and interacting with Chef Aki was a 5 star night! read more

I was surprised by the mixed reviews. Just ordered two lunch specials. We had the nine-piece sashimi with a spicy tuna roll and the two roll special with salmon avocado and a shrimp tempura roll. Both came with a side salad and miso soup. Lots of food for about $25. Can't beat that price for good sushi. The sashimi was incredibly fresh. Their salmon was buttery and melt in your mouth. I will definitely be back! read more

This was my go-to sushi place while I was attending college and one of my favorite sushi places ever. Definitely the best place to get sushi in this area. Perfect for a date night or even dinner with friends. The restaurant is tiny and intimate. During the summer you can sit at tables outside on the sidewalk. It's BYOB and the servers will bring you an ice bucket to keep your wine chilled. I've been here probably 30 times and my favorite appetizers are the rock shrimp tempura and calamari tempura. The dipping sauces that come with both appetizers are delicious. The sushi is amazing and fresh. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for sushi/Japanese in the Delaware county area! read more

Temaki Sushi Bar - Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Media, Pennsylvania

What a shame. Utterly disappointing. Came for dinner and sat outside. Table and chair were wobbly but staff were nice. Food 1/5: I ordered tonkatsu ramen and the sushi combo A. The tonkatsu ramen is the farthest thing from tonkatsu ramen I've ever had. They don't have pork broth, so I chose miso broth. Nothing about the ramen was salty enough. The pork tonkatsu wasn't tonkatsu but it was barbecued? It tasted like if you combined thin cut pork with a 4th of July barbecue and burned it a bit. It was also very tough and chewy, unlike real tonkatsu which should be fatty and melt in your mouth. But ok, this is a sushi place and not a ramen place, right? Let's talk about the sushi. With the combo A, you get a salad and miso soup. The miso soup was bland, not salty enough, and had a funny aftertaste. The salad was just sad. A few pieces of lettuce and some dressing. And the sushi was awful. It was bland and soggy and chewy. The seaweed was somehow soggy and maybe stale? The overall roll just tasted like nothing but depression. Such a shame when you ruin such beautiful fish as tuna, yellowtail, and salmon. I was hoping that maybe sushi could be this place's redeeming quality, as it is a "sushi restaurant," but nope. The sushi was even worse than the strange, strange ramen. Service 1/5: As for the service, the staff were nice but as I was sitting outside, like with every other restaurant, I was completely neglected. The waitress was friendly and helpful at the beginning, but never checked on me after I got my sushi and didn't even bring soy sauce with the sushi. Really? I left 90% of the food on my plate, and she never asked how it was or offered to remake/comp. So I paid $35 for wasting 2 hours of my day and eating a few bites of depression. What a let down. tl;dr: bad food, bad service, don't recommend. read more

I recommend the Tri-Color Combo sushi dish: 3 pieces each of Salmon, Tuna, and Yellowtail, plus shrimp tempura roll and choice of salmon, tuna, or yellowtail roll. The cost is $30 for this dish. The fish was so fresh and delish. Love it read more

I can't get enough of this place. Last night my friend Joy and I got take-out. I got the salmon dragon roll, asparagus tempura roll, and monkey brains. She got a Philly roll with cucumber & avocado, a crunch roll, and spring rolls. This was the 3rd time I enjoyed sushi from Temaki. Each time it just gets better and better. The 2nd time I ordered I got the lunch special. I wish they'd secure the soup lids better or at least try a different kind of lid, as the bag was wet. Regardless, they still get 5 stars from me. I love those monkey brains. For those trying to avoid rice while still enjoying sushi, I suggest you order the monkey brains. I'd like to see some other variation of the monkey brains in the future. To the folks @ Temaki, please keep up the great work. So far everything has been consistent, and that goes a long way in my book!!! read more

Temaki Sushi Bar - Please change your lids/soup containers, TEMAKI!!! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Media, Pennsylvania

Service alone, 4 stars for being courteous and checking in on us Monkey brains had avocado that was fried with tempura, a sweet brown sauce, and a protein filling. I think this was my favorite out of all the fishes. Agedashi is a fried piece of tofu, and they provided a light flavored sauce. The tofu was a little too soft on the outside and wasn't fried enough as it broke right when we touched it. Also not a lot of flavoring on it as it tasted like just tofu thrown into a deep fryer. Takoyaki was fresh and came with a bunch of bonito flakes. Very big portions and each one has a piece of octopus and they def didn't skimp on that Love boat for two is enough for dinner and had tuna, salmon, octopus, a spider roll and spicy salmon roll. All were good and presentation was nice. Not the best sushi and sashimi I've had, but I'd come here again for it. Udon is for our light broth based lovers, with broccoli, carrots, udon noodles and protein. Only thing I didn't like was how there was a stench that came out of the kitchen which smelled kind of funny. Have a bunch of specials and varieties so it should accommodate everyone. read more

I've been to this sushi restaurant twice now. It's very convenient for us to get take-out from here since my husband works in Media. He'll just call ahead and pick up the food on his way home. Usually the food travels pretty well. I really like their pork gyoza, and their sushi is A-OK! They're spicy tuna maki and salmon avocado maki are both exactly what you'd expect. The sushi pieces are normal sized, which is important to note because our competing sushi joint has HUGE pieces of sushi. This joint does a good job at giving you what you need. Nothing is extravagant, everything is reasonably priced, and I haven't gotten sick at all from eating the food. The sushi is predictable in size and flavor, so you should leave here feeling satisfied! read more

Doggy Monday and we were there with my boy Tango and we were treated like royalty. The owner came by every 10 minutes to ensure we were satisfied. We sat al fresco, enjoying the cool evening. Tango got two dishes of complementary flavored rice, plenty of water, and a bag of treats. We started the evening with Yakitori and a "No Name" Roll that was exquisite, followed by the mandatory soup, Japanese-style salad, Chicken Teriyaki, and Diablo Roll. Topped it off with plenty of Ocha and finished it with Banana Tempura (I'm lactose intolerant)... And by the way, my partner doesn't do sushi but I crave it. Well, there are menu selections for all tastes at Temaki. Doggie Mondays at Temaki Sushi is an absolutely awesome way to get out of the house with our furry sons and enjoy a wonderful dinner. read more

It's small and cute and service was great, but as for the prices and dishes themselves, they failed to deliver. I have had my extreme share of sushi and this is the first place I have seen sushi this expensive. They're higher than center city prices and the rolls are itty bitty. I couldn't believe how tiny my sushi pieces were when they came out on the plate. Now for taste, I felt the items we ordered were too plain and lacking in some aspect. One dish needed this, another dish needed less, etc. Like the pork gyoza was stuffed with way too much onions, the special udon soup was bland and had no broth in it at all, and the sushi needed to be upgraded in every way. The only thing I really enjoyed was the calamari. I really like the wasabi sauce they served it with. I was originally going to go to a place in Delaware but decided to stay local. I wish we kept driving. read more

The new place is so nice! I loved both of my rolls and my friends all liked their food as well! I especially loved our waiter Matt.. he was the only waiter in there and was fast and friendly! Also always like a good byob. Overall, it was very inexpensive. I will be going back soon! :) read more

Awesome Ramen and Sushi! We got the Spicy Tan Tan which was great. Definitely recommend for a nice date night spot which is BYOB.

First of all, it's just not a pleasant atmosphere inside. Probably best for takeout. On Saturday, there were two servers running the show and both were teenagers who just had no clue. We were brought water glasses but never any water. At one point both of them were leaning up against the wall looking at their cell phones. The food was hit and miss. We tried the Thai chicken wings and they weren't cooked. However, another special (Tuna Bomb) was excellent. The tuna and salmon sushi were tasteless and seemed old. The yellow tail was a bit better. Their shrimp tempura roll is weak. Peking is much better. read more

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. 1st time - ordered via GrubHub, arrived at stated pickup time and was told order was lost. Had already paid so waited the 20 minutes for the order to be made. 2nd time - to avoid what happened the 1st time, called in the order, was told it would be ready in 30-35 min. Arrived 30 min after calling, was told "15 more minutes, we're super backed up." 30 minutes later, asked for an update, it was clear the order was again lost and was told "at least 15 more minutes." Left after that, and will never go back. I suggest you don't go either. read more

We stopped in for a quick bite on the way to a concert. Service was friendly and efficient. Food was a disaster. I ordered a Beef Sizzling Teriyaki (without onions) and it came out on a chilled salad plate and it was undercooked and ice cold. My wife ordered the same thing and it was on a hot sizzling platter. The waitress was apologetic and I ordered a replacement Shrimp Sizzling Teriyaki. She once again brought me a chilled salad plate with severely overcooked shrimp. She said that should be hot enough for you! Of course it was barely edible and the vegetables were soon cold because the chilled plate. Do not recommend! read more

They told me that my takeout order was ready at 725 pm. I got my order just after 8 pm. They managed to give me attitude whenever I asked about my order....then asked me to leave after an hour of waiting. Apparently i was wrong to be disturbed by the lack of professionalism at this restaurant. They were not managed and clearly children. I'm not sure what they want to project but their product and performance was a complete failure. Their food is great. The people are horrible. I will never waste a penny with this group of morons. read more
