"Temakase believes their fresh, hot rice and crispy nori combination should be eaten within 30 seconds, and they’ve made it very easy to do so at their East Village handroll bar. The spacious dining room only has counter seating, where you’ll choose from sets of three to six handrolls to be delivered to you piece by piece at your own eating pace by someone in an Hawaiian shirt. There’s plenty of room to guarantee you a spot whether you want to pop in for a quick solo meal or linger for rounds of sake from their vaguely tropical themed bar." - neha talreja, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick
