Best North County Sushi

At Temaki Bar, we understand that sushi is more than a dish; it’s a harmonious blend of flavors, textures, and precision. Our journey toward culinary excellence starts with our commitment to sourcing only the freshest and most sustainable fish available. Every piece of fish that graces our sushi rolls and nigiri is hand-selected and inspected by our lead sushi chef.

In our kitchen, we uphold the time-honored traditions of Japanese sushi preparation. We believe in doing things the old-school way, just as they were in Japanese gambling dens where handrolls originated over 100 years ago. Our sushi artists are masters of their craft, preparing made-to-order, counter-side masterpieces that are wrapped in seaweed right before your eyes. This transparency allows you to witness the art of high-end sushi rolling and the precision of fish cutting.

Quality is the cornerstone of Temaki Bar’s philosophy. From the Japanese rice we source from farmers to the sauces we prepare in-house daily, we use only the finest products available. Our commitment to quality is evident in every bite, as you savor the nuances of flavors that come together in perfect harmony. We recognize the journey that each ingredient has taken before gracing your plate, and we don’t compromise on excellence.
