Temakeria — Restaurant in Ōrākei

They have quite a lot of interesting items on their menu so grabbed a few things to share. The temaco was quite interesting, nori shell filled with spicy seafood. Nice flavours but quite small. The temakis (large cone-shaped sushi) are also quite nice and the sizing isn't too bad. We tried the soft shell crab and the spicy salmon and both were tasty.

So thank you Temakria, we will be back,...
