For your convenience, below-Jeff Eats has “copied” Temple Street Eatery’s menu.

For the review, Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and a couple of friends recently gave Temple Street Eatery a shot for lunch. Ordered “items” chicken dumplings, pork dumplings, southeast chicken salad, katsu burger, bun rice noodle bowl, bulgolgi cheesteak sandwich… Now you guys know that Jeff Eats doesn’t like to do “pecking orders”–and Temple Street Eatery helped me out–in that every “item” was OK–but not one “item” had me craving-shall we say round 2! By the way, extremely pleasant wait-staff, nice modern fast food decor-price points that need a drop of tweaking to the downside.

Let me wrap this up for you,

Temple Street Eatery definitely has an eclectic menu. The joint just didn’t do-it for me!

Finally, since food “reviewing” is merely a subjective head game…and my head maybe in a different place than yours is–Temple Street Eatery is open Sunday-Thursday 11am-10pm, Friday-Saturday 11am-11pm.
