Worth a visit

by HotCoffee

This is one of my favorite lunch spots. The sushi is always fresh and the price is right. for some reason I find the lunch to be better than the dinner, but that may just be a personal preference.

Love It!

by kjolley

I am being generous giving this place a 5 but overall they rock! Especially when compared to other sushi places in the area and price point...such as Sushi Samba and Sushi Maki. The only issue they are having is keeping up w. demand. So far they are riding the wave of demand to their favor...i.e. Not good for you if you are a party for two...they have no issue skipping over you to service the big partys. And the restaurant is bring in the big parties, not uncommon to see people waiting outside. I've started to order for pick up but then again I live in the area...Favorites...Birds Nest...Hip Hop Roll...Chick Teriaki+sushi rice...if you have room for dessert try the fried banana eggrolls : )

• Pros: Yum!
• Cons: Small Venue---Big Demand

Great sushi

by darlinkakevina

I've eaten at nearly every sushi place in the county, and this is probably the best not counting the Japanese Market in North Bay Village. But the two are so different, it's really like comparing apples and oranges. Matsuri used to have decent sushi and so-so atmosphere but all that changed about a year ago when they closed for renovations. Now, both the decor and the menu have greatly improved. The quality of sushi is terrific. My favorite thing on the menu is a 9 piece sushi plate with otoro, uni, amaebi, and other delicious treats.

Another great thing is that they have terrific steak teriyaki. I'm married to a non-seafood eater, but she loves to go to Matsuri's, because they consistently make a great rare and tender steak just the way she loves it.
