Honestly, I was recovering from having a weekend bender at EDC, and I was craving something fresh and healthy after surviving off of small bites in the festival. I was looking at sushi or poke around the area, and Temaki was the spot I wanted to go to for dinner.
This is located at the Aria in the Proper Eats Food Court, which is on the 2nd level of the Aria. It's not hard to miss, but it is tucked away in a corner towards the bar.
I was staying at Polo Towers, so going to the Aria was not that bad of a walk. Temaki offers Poke bowls, sushi, sashimi, appetizers, and hand rolls, but you have to sit at the bar to experience the hand rolls sadly. You can order off your phone or at the kiosks they have around Proper Food to order and pay. You will get an automated text message when your order is ready.
I wanted something light, but filling, so I ended up getting the poke bowl which was $26. With tax, I believe it was closer to $28-29.
This included tuna, sushi rice, avocado, cucumber, daikon, seaweed salad, crispy shallots, and spicy aioli. The rice did have a nice sweet and savory sauce drizzled on top, which made the bowl come together.
The tuna tasted fresh and light, and the additives to this bowl really tied everything together. I will say that this bowl is a bit smaller on the portions, but the flavors were spot on. The only con is that they do not offer other options for poke bowls, so you're stuck eating Tuna. If you're not too hungry, but could use something filling, I'd recommend trying the bowl out!
I'll have to come back and try their hand rolls because their toro looks amazing!
