Sashimi mix and Crunch Time roll at Hello Temaki in Elk Grove, CA

We went here because sushi is fast and we had a movie to get to. We need to go back so we can enjoy it longer, because this was really good. It’s a shame we had to be in and out of this place in 30 minutes. I want more.

The spicy tuna in the roll was ACTUALLY spicy, unlike ≈99% of the time. Honestly, only here and the place in Burlingame was the spicy tuna actually spicy. I’ve wondered why it’s called spicy tuna almost my whole sushi-eating life, because it’s never spicy. I don’t know if that’s regional, a misnomer, or because I love heat and I have to ask wait staff “Is it actually spicy, or just white people spicy” when I order something spicy at a restaurant, so I’m kinda numb to low spice heat.
