  I almost never write reviews on places, but I was so disappointed with my service at Temak House and want to warn others. I was initially going to get À la carte, but after seeing most rolls on the menu were upwards of more than $15, I decided the $35 lunch all you can eat to be more worth it. We sat and got appetizers and waters right away, and once we got our drinks, we waited 30 minutes before we saw our server again. 30 minutes—no exaggeration. I asked another server to please grab our server so we could order, and he said he would take our order for us. Another 5 minutes passed and I asked a different server where our guy was. He informed us that our server had taken his lunch break, and someone else would see us shortly. No one else saw us shortly. We sat there, waiting to order food at an all you can eat restaurant for 40 minutes until our server was off his break. Additionally, every menu item you order would take anywhere from 10-15 minutes to come out. My friend and I had to order everything we wanted in one sitting, since we knew we wouldn’t see our server again and the food would take forever. And because of this, we ended up sickening ourselves to try and avoid a $2 up-charge per piece of sushi not finished. The food was fine but nowhere near the $50 per person quality marker. We found a lot of the sushi rolls to be very bland. We asked for other sauces and a different server told us they only had spicy mayo or eel. Our server never told us his name, but my receipt says Juan. When I had any questions on recommendations from the menu, he seemed very unfamiliar with it and even asked to see it so he could remember what was on it. In the hour and a half my friend and I spent at the restaurant (mostly waiting for food or service), we saw Juan three times. One time when we got our drinks. One time to place an order for food. One time when I called out for a receipt. My friend and I went here at 4pm on a Sunday. There was only one other table with three people when we came, so the place was relatively empty. If it was a busy day, I would understand. We were two people in an empty restaurant. I can’t even imagine what getting service might be like at a busy time of day. When I go out to eat, I do not expect my server to check on me every second. However when I am at all you can eat places and I have had empty plates sitting in front of me for 40 minutes, I get pretty frustrated. And the forced 20% gratuity at the end that was not mentioned whatsoever was the real cherry on top. Will never be returning and I have made it a point to tell others to never stop by.

  The food was amazing. Not sure who the chef was but they need a raise. My Anna luiza was the one who served me and she was extremely helpful and knowledge. The guava ice cream dessert is AMAZING. 11/10 recommend.

  l have been to many restaurants and this one has had the worst experience, i got here at 8:20 and ordered drinks, then they came with all the other drinks and asked me what i had ordered as a drink because they forgot mines, then our waiter didn’t come back until 9 to order our food, we ordered 2 red dragon and 3 avocado one of the avocado to go, as our waiter proceeded to ask what sushi those were as if he didn’t know the menu, then they got the wrong sushi in the to go box and forgot one of our sushi’s. We had to talk to the manager to fix it up but then got the right order now it’s 9:45 and we just got the right sushi. We are leaving at 10:30. The food was not bad but not so much the service and communication i wouldn’t recommend.

  Average sushi joint with Westchase prices! I had the all you can eat menu and it’s good value for money but the selections are minimal. Will be back to try some other menu items and give this place another shot!

  Worst dining experience of my life. Most of the staff were clueless to the chaos. All you can eat but no food coming out of the kitchen or sushi bar. Most of our food never arrived. Multiple people walked out. They shouldn’t be open if they can’t have the bare minimum of competency.
