Temari Japanese Cafe

We had dinner here on Saturday, April 13. I had the Wafu Hamburger Steak and my partner had the Omu Rice . There was a short wait for our party of 2, less than 10 minutes. She told me her friend had raved about the Wafu burger so I gave that a try. They brought out a small plate of rice and a sizzling skillet with bean sprouts, onions, and the burger, covered with radish sauce. Overall, I felt it was ok, but lacked seasoning and flavor. I put the burger on the rice, and maybe I should have put the rice on the burger to get more of the drippings from the onions. Still, this was a bit disappointing. My gf 's Omu rice was brought and it looked super impressive. The egg wrapping and red sauce lo...

Temari Japanese Cafe has become a pretty classic Rockville staple for delicious authentic Japanese food! It does fill up pretty fast on Friday and weekend evenings, so be sure to come early. On my most recent trip I got the Katsu Curry, one of my favorite Japanese comfort food dishes. The curry was thick, rich, and super delicious; bold with flavors, and had potatoes, onions, and beef chunks! Which in combination with the crispy pork katsu on top, its a great combination. They give you plenty of rice and curry too, I just wish there was a bit more katsu given the size of the rest of the plate. Service is really great too, servers are friendly and attentive.

What a gem! Small restaurant with excellent service and comforting Japanese food. I entered the restaurant a little after it opened at 5pm and the restaurant was nearly full 45 mins later. The menu is extensive and I couldn't resist ordering too much. The tonkatsu meal was generous in portion. Well battered and fried tonkatsu and the salad and miso soup were so good. The agedashi tofu was silken and the soup was delicious. The hot tea they were was absolutely delicious as well. I ordered an onigiri and was unfamiliar with cooking the spicy cod roe. I wish the roe was a little more spread out in the onigiri though. I will definitely be back to try out more things on the menu!!

This place is a hidden gems. Not a fancy place, parking is not the best. But, it's one of the best Japanese restaurants I ever been. Fresh, delicious, and affordable price. It's a busy place but waiting time was not bad at all for weekends lunch. I ordered mackerel combo for $27 and came with soup, sashimi and side dishes. Cozy and comfortable small place. Definitely be back again. Quite a drive for me from Virginia but it's worth it. We went to the Japanese grocery upstairs last, pricey but lots of of rare delicious goodies

Delicious and fun Japanese diner-style restaurant Try the curry, tonkatsu, ramen, and other Japanese comfort food. Restaurant can get packed, so come early. They do take credit card; have bar seating; and parking is readily available in the shopping center. Looks like restaurant has rotating specials as well and serves sake!
