It feels as though this restaurant has been around for quite some time: the atmosphere, the kind and welcoming staff, the quality, and energy are all sweet! and having their own parking behind the restaurant is great. Wish the sashimi had ginger to refresh between the different fish and flavors, but a small note compared to the overall experience.

The quality of the sushi here is actually quite good. Personally not really a fan of chirashi bowls though, should have gotten something else.

Update: I have gotten something else, and it was delicious. The lunch options are great and provide lots of variety for a fair price. Everything was delicious, nutritious, and filling.

I had high hopes for Matsuri based on the ambiance and some early reviews, but unfortunately, the experience did not live up to expectations.

First off, the service was unusually slow even though the restaurant was only half full. It took nearly 20 minutes just to get water, and even longer to place our order. When we finally did, the staff seemed rushed and inattentive, forgetting part of our order entirely.

As for the food — it was underwhelming at best. The sushi rice was mushy and warm, and the fish didn’t taste particularly fresh. The “signature rolls” were drowning in sauces, likely to mask the lack of quality. We also ordered a hot dish that came out lukewarm and lacked seasoning.

On top of that, the prices were way too high for the quality. I don’t mind paying premium for exceptional food, but this wasn’t it.

The only saving grace was the interior — the space itself is beautifully designed, and the lighting gives it a nice vibe. But sadly, ambiance alone doesn’t justify a poor dining experience.

I won’t be returning, and I wouldn’t recommend it unless the management makes serious improvements to food quality and staff training.

Good service. Got parking is a plus. Sushi was ok. The chicken in the udon was dry and tough.

Traditional Japanese restaurant. Cozy environment. Attentive service. Amazing food.
