Every week they have a $5 handroll special! This week it was eel - super worth! It was indeed a lot of rice though. The mango salmon was fresh and flavorful! The yellowtail was as well. The spicy scallop had too much mayo; it overpowered the taste of the scallop. Total came out to ~$40 for 4 handrolls.
This place is very spacious and the staff was quickly to attend to us! However the place could use some AC as it felt very humid and stuffy inside (esp on a hot summer day). I highly recommend the salmon cups as the sashimi was fresh and everything paired well together, just be aware that it's very small! My only complaint is that the seaweed that came with the hand rolls were soggy and not crispy like other places, so it didn't feel fresh and it was pretty hard to take bites. Overall this was a fun experience, but I wouldn't come again casually as it is very pricey!
We really loved the Matsunori in Boston and was exciting learning that there was an NYC location. They took reservations and it was easy to book, even for a Friday evening. The service was attentive, serving the handrolls one-by-one and coming back to take our next order. It was very well-paced. The standout handrolls were the spicy scallop and the miso butter cod. Perfect spot for a date night and would be coming back again to fulfill the sushi/handroll craving!
Cozy and ambient interior, great for catching up with friends or date. Impressed with the fish to rice ratio, it felt like 70:30 which really allows you to taste the fish youre eating. Rolls aren't very filling and kind of expensive. I had 4 rolls and was still hungry at the end so take that as you will. Service was kind and efficient.
Easy yummy hand rolls in LIC, came on a Sunday night close to opening and it filled up pretty quickly after we sat down. Service was lovely, even though it seems like mostly 2 people running the floor, they're doing an amazing job. They're quick, very much like omakase at table, it felt like we were getting new handrolls every 2 min. From sitting down to getting the check, 45 min. It's not a huge place but ample seating and space, good sound architecture, not crazy noisy or overstimulating. Low warm ambient lighting. We got a mix of different hand rolls. We each ended up with 4-5 rolls each and felt like we could've honestly stopped at 3, but def wanted to try everything. We felt like the portion sizes were more than fair, they pack it in with fish and we felt very full by the end. Spicy Salmon was lovely, salmon quality was very fresh and the sauce brought out nice flavors. Didn't love the regular Salmon handroll, for some reason the Salmon felt/tasted different, thought it was even smoked salmon at first. The Scallop was nice, good quality, felt like the toppings could've worked better to bring out the sweet butter flavors of scallop more. The Uni was nice, MP (19.50 the day we went) Quality was good but again wish they worked a little more with the details to bring out the uni flavors a bit more. It was getting a bit muted for me. My friend loved the Shrimp tempura and the Wagyu, good balanced flavors and nice textures. We had the Yellowtail last and at that point was so full so wasn't vibing as much but they def pack in the yellowtail, I liked the idea of the rice puffs for texture but not sure if the bite felt fully right ~ Overall quality of the fish, seaweed and rice 8/10 Could work on bringing out some lighter complimentary textures/flavors but could also be my personal preference :))
Had a delightful quick dinner at Matsunori, and I was excited to share the experience! While the handrolls are not very cheap, they definitely fill you up given the size; this is especially true for the specialty rolls which are in the $10-11 range per item! The restaurant was not too busy on a random weeknight, so service was prompt. The servers also kept the appetizer and handrolls at a good pace throughout!
Decided to try this new place last weekend and it was so good! The rolls came out fast and service was super friendly and attentive! Some rolls were ~$18 which is pretty pricey. I ordered: - A5 wagyu: 4/5 Super tender and flavorful but it didn't blow me away. - Miso Cod: 5/5 This was absolute favorite! The cod was so buttery, flavorful, and perfectly flaky. - Spicy crab: 3/5 Creamy and well-seasoned but seemed pretty average. - Spicy tempura shrimp 4/5 Loved the crunch of the shrimp and you definitely got a kick from the spice. - Spicy Scallop: 4/5 The scallop was fresh and melted in your mouth. So delicious. Overall, the food was delicious and the service was great! However, I do think the prices are steep and not sure if I would be willing to pay that price again.
Very good selection of handrolls, albeit they were very expensive. 5 handrolls costed around $89 with tax and tip, and it was not super filling. The quality of ingredients was definitely top notch but I think the combination of ingredients did not mesh well together. Miso butter cod was super flavorful, but the toro was a less fattier cut (Expected o toro for the price) and did not add much flavor. The shrimp tempura was super messy with all the flavor combinations, the wagyu was nothing special. The scallop was good with the yuzu salt though to bring out the fish. Overall, the handrolls were pretty but the price does not match the taste
Unfortunately my return visit to Matsunori was a flop. Service was kind but the food was simply not up to par. The most expensive roll I ordered was a complete let down as the toro seemed to be straight from the freezer (way too cold). Probably will not be going back a third time.
All the hand rolls I got were great. Definitely yummy, but it is very much on the pricy side. From just these 3 handrolls alone, I spent ~$50 (including tax and tip). I wasn't full unfortunately. Interior was cute, and the service was good. I don't know if I'd come back only for the price point.
What an incredible addition to Long Island City! This sushi hand roll spot completely blew me away. From the moment I walked in, the attention to detail was clear--clean, minimalist space, super friendly staff, and an atmosphere that lets the food speak for itself. The hand rolls? Absolutely next-level. The fish was incredibly fresh--melt-in-your-mouth quality--and each roll was made to order with precision and care. The presentation was beautiful too, with a focus on simplicity and balance that really highlights the quality of the ingredients. You can tell they care about what they're serving, and it makes all the difference. Every bite was delicious, from the crisp nori to the perfectly seasoned rice. Whether you're a sushi lover or just looking for a standout meal in LIC, this place is a must-try. Spicy Scallop and miso cod were my favorites
Uni & miso cod hand rolls were my favorite. These hand rolls are actually very filling. Service was very fast & efficient. Nice spot to go for a quick bite if you're craving sushi
This place has to be my all time favorite handroll place in queens right now. Everything was super fresh and the presentation was really simple and clean as well. My boyfriend and I stopped by on a whim one day due to a sudden sushi craving and I do have to say, I think we got lucky getting a table on the spot because the restaurant filled up soon after (definitely understood why after we started eating). We got a couple of rolls to try: The Eel Handroll was nicely smoky. The Botan Ebi Ikura Handroll had a very nice crunch from the sweet shrimp and was lightly fishy from the ikura (not overpowering). The A5 Miyazaki Wagyu Handroll was good but it was definitely one that I could've skipped. However, the Uni Handroll saved that set. The Uni was perfectly buttery and creamy and it was nicely sweet. The Blue Crab Handroll was just okay, I might just prefer my crab to be warm so it could just be a preference thing. The Spicy Scallop Handroll was super fresh. I love scallops so I really enjoyed this one especially since the scallops were lightly sweet however, I do wish the chucks of scallops were a little bigger. And last but not least the Toro Mushroom Handroll. I just want to start off with I do not like tuna or mushrooms, we ordered this handroll specifically for my boyfriend but it was my favorite out of all of the handrolls we ordered. We ended the night on a crème brûlée which was also perfect! The food was great, the staff was great, the vibes were great, this place will definitely be my go to Handroll place in queens! Also, one thing I really appreciated was it did not feel like these handrolls were just stuffed with rice. The rice to fish ratio was very generous.
Amazing place for hand rolls. Definitely a place for date night for such an intimate place. We got the best sellers order of 5 hand rolls+$5 for a drink. And we added on ankimo hand roll and salmon ikura. All handrolls were great, nicely seasoned, rice had a nice chew. The scallops were not slimy. The ankimo was not too fishy and oddly light given that it is liver. A favorite by most of my party was the marinated cod. Nicely charred and perfectly cooked. The most important note to me, the wasabi was real wasabi and not horseradish. Service was attentive and timely. Handrolls came through quick. The one criticism is that we did not know what rolls were for who. We came in as a party of 5, and it was confusing who was supposed to get what and what was missing. read more

Matsunori is a bit pricy but the rolls are packed. I like get the specialty rolls over the regular ones since they taste better. My wallet cries. Service is good, water was always filled, and they never rushed us to order, pay or get out. read more

Tasty and fresh handrolls! Staff was friendly and explained the menu, and suggested about 4-5 handrolls per person. I ordered: - Mango salmon - Yellowtail - Miso butter cod - Snow crab - Toro jelly My favorites were the toro jelly and miso butter cod. The snow crab was pretty good too. They definitely don't skimp on the fish! It was a bit on the pricier side though as each one ranged from $7-$17. No reservations, walk in only. Would definitely come back read more
Great sushi resto only does hand rolls. Nice inside w open kitchen . Very stylish inside and small place. Service was fast and informative. The food was good. Truffle edamame was a food starter. Then we had 4 of their rolls. The best was the miso cod but the spicy tuna was a close second too. Definitely worth a try . read more
Absolutely delicious handroll bar. The portions of the fish are huge and so well-priced. I love how spacious the restaurant is and how attentive the staff is. come hungry because you'll want to eat your way through their menu! The miso butter cod roll was such a standout item for me. I also loved the freshness of their scallop handroll and the flavors of their eel handroll. Def recommend if you're in LIC. read more

I came here last night after work as I was craving sushi and I heard about this new local restaurant on Instagram. This restaurant only serves hand rolls that range from $7-$19. The restaurant is small but surprisingly pretty spacious and the tables were spread out. I walked in around 8pm and I was seated very quickly at the bar table. I like to watch the chefs as they make different hand rolls. I started off with the salmon cups, which are 4 small pastry cups topped with a salmon pate. Then for my hand rolls I had the spicy salmon, miso butter cod, toro mushroom and the A5 wagyu. Both the raw and cooked hand rolls were amazingly fresh and delicious. Some rolls are pricey but it's worth it. There are some extra add-ons for an additional fee but I did not try them. My server was Carol and she was so attentive and always asking me how my food was. She even spent a little bit of time talking to me about the restaurant and how they've been open for about a month. I look forward to coming back here in the future read more
Tempted to gate keep but honestly the best hand roll place I've been to in the city!! Miso buttered cod is a must, also was a huge fan of the salmon mango one. Also tried the matcha tiramisu for the first time and it was amazing. Everything's fresh! Not stuffed with rice! Super quick service and they're really good about allergies too. We got seated right away pretty much Good place for dates or groups! read more

Went in with low expectations because how good and how filling can hand rolls be? It was a fun idea to try for a dinner date but it ended up being a wonderful meal. From service to drinks to food, it was a great time. There wasn't a roll I didn't like and the servings are generous. read more
Once you enter there's a host that takes your information down and they will contact you once there's availability. I requested a table and not for bar seating. This was on a Sunday night and the wait wasn't bad at all, as they predicted it to be around 30 minutes and it turned out to be around 10 minutes. I asked how long they have been around and it's their soft opening right now. They have been opened for a month and a half. Once they get the kitchen right, the grand opening will happen. I ordered a few rolls and some appetizers such as the A5 wagyu (delicious), the snowcrab, the yellowtail and mango salmon roll were all fresh. For appetizers, the salmon cup (4 tiny bit size cups) and truffle edamame were ordered. I thought everything came out in a timely manner. I just thought the service could've been a bit better. read more

Hi JiHae,…
Fresh, flavorful, and worth every bite. Matsunori Handroll in LIC delivers on quality and execution. The service was friendly and efficient, and the vibe is sleek but casual. Favorites were the miso butter cod, toro with mushroom, and the A5 Wagyu beef handrolls -- each one was packed with flavor and perfectly crafted. Highly recommend for date night or catching up with friends. I'll definitely be back read more
Came on a Saturday at 7 PM and there was no wait for bar seats for the two of us. I tried: + Spicy tuna - great + miso butter cod - highlight #1 + spicy scallop - highlight #2 + Salmon - skip + Toro mushroom - excellent + Ikura - skip + Iced hojicha latte - great Great addition to the neighborhood! 4.5 stars. read more
Matsunori Handroll Bar is a handroll spot, originating from Boston, and offers a variety of unique handrolls and some appetizers. After seeing this spot open in LIC, I had to try. The interior has both bar and table seating for you to enjoy your meal with a friend or larger group. Service here is very attentive and fairly quick. I ordered the salmon cups, the spicy and regular scallop handrolls, the crab roll, ebi roll, lobster roll, toro mushroom roll, and miso cod roll. The salmon cups were definitely a must-try and not only delicious, but a great value for the price ($9). The portions for each of the handrolls were so generous, ingredients were so fresh, and I loved the garnishes and pairing for each fish/protein. Favorites were definitely the miso cod, lobster roll (you rarely get lobster at sushi/handroll spots!), and the toro mushroom. I thought it was delicious, amazing value, and would definitely come back. read more
I've been living in LIC for years and was super excited when this spot opened. I dropped by on a random weekday--it was surprisingly packed, but I was offered bar seating after just a five-minute wait. I ordered the following: Chawanmushi (steamed egg, ikura gel, scallion) - $6 Salmon Cups - $9 A variety of handrolls (e.g., miso butter cod) - $10 Matcha Tiramisu - $9 I love egg, and the chawanmushi was delicious--light and savory. That said, the ikura gel hadn't fully set and felt sticky, which threw off the texture a bit. The salmon cups were fine, but the cup itself was a bit too floury and dense for my taste. Now, the handrolls? Genuinely excellent. The miso butter cod roll is a must-try--rich, flavorful, and balanced. The matcha tiramisu was also a standout--creamy, subtly sweet, and a great way to end the meal. Overall, the food here hits the spot. Service was seamless, and while the appetizers could use help, the handrolls are absolutely solid. I'd definitely come back if I'm in the area and craving sushi. read more
Im so happy this place is in LIC!! Came on saturday with my husband and I could not find anything negative to say about it. Service was extremely attentive/efficient without being intrusive. Decor is upscale yet comfortable and spacious. I ordered 5 piece while my husband got 6 piece of handroll, each one was packed with extremely high quality fish, you have the option to add uni, cavier or foie gras to each piece for about $9 extra. While each roll might seem expensive, the quality and quantity justify the price in my opinion. I could not pick a favorite piece as they were all super delicious!! I also love that they take out each piece and wait for us to finish before bringing out another piece. I think a lot of thinking went into the pacing and which piece to bring out first for each guest, since my husband ordered one extra roll, they paced it in a way that i didnt have to sit and watch him eat. I hope this place stays and Ill prob go every month!! read more
Hubs and I came post-work on a Wednesday, we didn't need a reservation and we were seated right away. The staff was friendly and spot-on with their recommendations. Also the interior is dimly lit with nice seating. Handrolls range from $6-$15; we tried the spicy salmon, spicy tuna, snow crab, miso cod, and wagyu. All were fresh, flavorful, and beautifully balanced and presented. The seafood quality is top-notch. We left full and happy! Definitely on the pricier side, but worth the splurge. read more

Hi Dominique,…
I also ordered some simple hand rolls that aren't pictured: salmon, yellowtail, and tuna. I also ordered the egg with ikura gel for an app. The egg was expected and good. I wasn't a huge fan of the ikura gel, didn't taste too much like ikura to me. The simple rolls were bigger than other places I've been to, but the quality of the fish itself was not as good as other places. I find the fish was served colder than I wanted, so the fish flavor was mild to me. The standouts are the special rolls. My favorite was the spicy scallop! The buttered miso cod was also good. I would revisit and try other special rolls. read more
I had an unforgettable experience at Matsumoto Handroll Bar! The staff was helpful, welcoming, and very knowledgeable about the origins of the ingredients. Kes & Rick were exceptional hosts and masters in the kitchen. The menu is masterfully crafted and the fish is exceptionally fresh. We heard that the owner goes to the fish market every morning to get the freshest supply and it definitely shows! Although I enjoyed all of the rolls, my favorites were the Wagyu, and the Toro Mushroom. Those are must-tries!! It's in a convenient location and well decorated space- could definitely be a great spot for a date. I will for sure be returning! read more
The menu isn't very large because they specialize in hand rolls, but the mango salmon hand roll was hands down my favorite and we ordered it multiple times. I also really enjoyed the eel, and the miso butter cod was highly recommended but I thought it was too buttery for me. We also tried the toro mushroom which was good but I actually liked the mango salmon one better still. Great ambience, you can watch them make your hand roll if you're at the bar. The waiter is very attentive, and also very friendly. The place is definitely pricier but would come back! read more
4.5 stars We went around 6pm for a late lunch; there wasn't a wait for a table but the restaurant was almost full, it's not that big.. They give you the option of still, sparkling or tap. We chose tap but luckily they filter their water. We ordered one Chawanmushi to share. It's small but I just wanted a taste. Really light steamed egg, L enjoyed it a lot...good but I didn't care for it, I'm here for the hand rolls... Our waitress said to order an avg of 4-5 Handrolls per person so we ordered 3 to begin... Miso Cod, Spicy Scallop, and Caviar for me and A5 Wagyu, Toro Mushroom, and a Maine lobster roll that was not on the menu for L. The Spicy Scallop, Toro mushroom...was delicious.. so fresh. And yes there is a lot more protein than other hand roll restaurants..esp the ones I've been to. It's pricey since some of the special rolls are $17 but it was so good...L liked the A5 but I don't think it stood out that much. It could've had more fat, maybe a tiny touch of finishing salt.. The lobster roll.. that was good, better than the A5 but that's my opinion. Caviar.. hmm I like Caviar. So I enjoyed it but L isn't a huge fan so he didn't care for it. The Miso Cod was good... but I've had miso cod from Nobu and other good restaurants...is it better? No... not compared to them. It's a lil too saucy for me and not charred enough but it's still a tasty handroll, but I expected more based on the reviews. We also had a bottle of sake, which I normally don't care for but it was actually pretty good. It went well with the rolls. Obviously still hungry and we wanted to try more anyway; we ordered the Spicy Shrimp Tempura, Snow Crab for me and a Mango Shrimp Tempura and a Spicy Tuna for L. The Spicy Shrimp Tempura was really good but L liked it so much I gave it to him and he gave me his Spicy Tuna which was still good but I would've preferred mine. The shrimp tempura was at least a good portion since they add avocado and tamago. Snow crab is just a small claw meat with tamago.. so skippable.. Spicy Shrimp tempura was bette, tastier than the Mango Shrimp. We finished the meal with a Matcha Tiramisu. We're both not a fan of Matcha but this was very good. Not too sweet but just enough. I could've had a few more rolls since some of the rolls we had were so good but I was picking up additional food close by.. Service was great. We never had to wait long for anything. Our waitress tried to converse with us more than it was necessary just to be even more attentive. Not a cheap meal but we enjoyed it. Def get the spicy scallop, Toro mushroom...so good.. spicy shrimp tempura.. read more
They really need a better queuing system as they do not take reservations. I walked in and asked for a table for two and they told me that they were clearing it out. I checked back in and they gave up my table to other groups so I ended up having to wait an additional 45 minutes for no reason. They do not sets of hand rolls, but rather individual. The spicy scallop was probably the best. The spicy tuna and spicy yellowtail were way too chopped up for my preference, so it was hard to taste the fish. It makes me think that it could be a lower quality fish... The restaurant itself is also very small, so be prepared to wait. read more
Delicious local handroll spot! You can't go wrong with any of their rolls- our favorites were the miso butter cod, yellowtail, and spicy tuna. I would highly recommend the hojicha tea pot- nutty and tasty and they refill the pot. I wish there were just a regular toro option as the mushroom flavor overpowers it a bit. The matcha tiramisu was a yummy treat but a little small for its price. read more

We saw an IG post about this location and being sushi lovers we def had to check it out. We arrived in time as soon as it opened on a Saturday and it can def get packed after an hour. Food was great! Small portions tho so it is recommended to have more than just one. I myself loved the spicy Shrimp Tempura and the Snow Crab was also pretty good! read more
This was a really great experience, most of the handrolls were surprising in some way, but all of them were absolutely delicious. My favorites were the miso cod and the spicy salmon, but the ebi had an amazing crunch and the eel, a nice searing and sauce. The shrimp was mixed with some cold things, which wasn't a pleasant balance, but somehow was still tasty. It's a very unique handroll bar and flavor experience. I'd definitely go back to get some other handrolls! read more
