ABOUTTemaki Joint is the latest expression by Chef Duy Pham - An intimate hand roll and sushi experience centered around precision, immediacy, and simplicity. Built around the art of temaki, each roll is crafted to order and designed to be enjoyed in the moment. Drawing from decades of experience and a deep respect for Japanese culinary tradition, Pham reimagines the hand roll through a modern lens, highlighting premium ingredients from all over the world, perfectly seasoned rice, and balanced composition. The experience is interactive and personal, inviting guests to engage directly with the craft. Every element from the cut of the fish to the temperature of the rice is carefully considered to deliver a product that is both elevated and approachable.
OUR PHILOSOPHYAt Temaki Joint, every detail is intentional. From the tools we use to the way each roll is handed across the counter, we believe great food is created through craftsmanship, connection, and respect for the process. It’s an experience designed to be felt as much as it is tasted.
