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.
April 2025
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.
March 2025
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
