What people say, in short
Most people recommend Temple Records, and many praise the sushi, with three people singling it out as a good non-omakase option. One person says it's a sushi platter rather than a true omakase, while another calls its omakase great and says the room recalls a Tokyo sushi counter. One diner finds it good value, though three others call it pricey, and two diners were let down, calling the sushi mediocre or the place overrated. One person likes it for a quiet, elevated night but says families with kids may not be a fit, while another calls the downtown spot hip and date-worthy.
