Neighborhood gem, tucked away, unable to see restaurant from the street. One of those places where you have to have heard about from someone and get a good description of where it is. Matsuri has the best fresh fish from Hawaii & Japan, Hokkaido crab & uni, and lots of good sake selections. Everything is clean, service and food is always consistently good.

Excellent sake choices and recommendations. The chirashi was packed with deliciousness. Second time dined there, both were wonderful experiences.

Always enjoy the food and service at Izakaya Matsuri. The sushi chef is amazing and serves the freshest sushi as well as the other dishes we ordered. The restaurant service is awesome and they make you feel like you are the only ones in the restaurant.

Quality and service outstanding. Highly recommended. Make reservations a little earlier than usual. Sake list is extensive, as well as other beers / offerings that are based in Japan. Every entree was a joy. We will be back

Unassuming spot with incredible sushi, uni was especially fresh. Tempura was excellent, and they have house made tofu. Extensive sake menu. We loved it.

Our reservation just happen to be on the day when Kubota sake had a free tasting of their new 2025 offerings. Food was excellent and Kubota sake was flowing. What's not to like.

We came here for the first time on Valentine’s Day and had a lovely time! Food & service were great, and it seemed like many of the customers were regulars because the staff knew them by name.

Try the Dynamite Lobster with the Islander sake! Both were amazing! Not a bad thing on the menu. Will be a regular from now on.
