I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming, with a comfortable setting that made it easy to relax and enjoy the evening. The food was outstanding. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can really tell that the kitchen pays attention to quality ingredients and careful preparation. The menu had a great variety of options, making it easy for everyone in our group to find something they loved. The service was just as impressive. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, offering great recommendations and making sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. Overall, this restaurant delivered a fantastic dining experience. Great food, excellent service, and a lovely atmosphere make it a place I would happily visit again and recommend to others. read more

Usually a big fan of Matsuri. Our go to order is the Masa platter for two. We decided to switch some things up tonight, and my son specifically wanted eel. We ordered ahead of time, waited for quite some time. My husband drove all the way there, only to arrive home and realize that half our order was missing. Called them to complain, and they are taking off the missing items from our bill. The food we did receive was mediocre at best, honestly Publix does better than what we received tonight. The spicy tuna roll, one of our always staples, was just rice and tuna, no spicy mayo. Total disappointment. Waste of time, energy and money. They don't do delivery and we're certainly not driving back there, but I feel like in instances like this they should make it up to you. It's not about the money. It's about not having the food that you ordered and were excited to receive. read more

Great prices! Great sushi! Located in a plaza with plenty of parking. Went for dinner on a weekday night and there was a wait so I knew this place had to be decent. I was immediately shocked by the prices and had doubts but everything was so good! Loved the atmosphere. Def a gem and can't wait to go back! read more

Came here after a short workday for a late lunch, tried the omakase sashimi and it did not disappoint, freshest most delicious offerings and my eyes were rolling back everytime I took a bite, esp when I got to the fatty tuna. Workers are very sweet and attentive, it was a little packed for lunch so it was sorta loud. But its a very clean and beautiful location, Parking was a nightmare but other than that it is a great spot for really good sushi. read more

Every positive experience you have heard about this place is undeniably correct. The prices are indisputably unheard of in Miami for such high quality bites. I truly crave coming here way more often than I should and if you want a solid delicious sushi experience on a reasonable budget, this is about the best you'll be able to find in the city. I really recommend you go for one of their specials, whether it'd be the Masa, Go-to-go, or Go-to-ren; they are so filling and the best way to try everything this place has to offer. I also believe depending on how hungry you are, they are well more than enough of a serving for a fully satisfied meal. My only drawback about the Matsuri experience is that as a very "americanized" consumer of Sushi, I always love to have spicy mayo with my sushi, and their spicy mayo is not very good (the only thing I can say that about on the menu truly). read more

Last Thursday, to celebrate my daughter's birthday we went for dinner. The place is rather small and once the place got full it got a little loud. The food is good, but very small portions (expected for Japanese restaurants). Now the service in general was good, but our server was awful. Her name was Margot. If you get her change table! Lazy, didn't want to answer simple questions, she couldn't be bothered. Latin American lady (I think) with a horrible disposition and a bad attitude, she should not be a server. Everyone else was very nice. I don't plan to return. read more

I went on a Saturday around 7:00 PM and had to wait about 45 mins. There were people waiting outside since the the place is not big inside. However, it is very cozy and the ambient is great. We sat in a booth in the back and it was the perfect spot. The sushi we ordered was a combination of raw and cooked stuff. Everything came out pretty quickly and the presentation was beautiful. Everyone was very pleased with what they ordered. I ate the cooked stuff and it was delicious. The portion sizes are fair as well. The service was great, Maria was our server and she answered questions and was very nice. I would come back here again. read more

Had to stop here because I saw social media videos and the tuna looked so juicy so finally made it happen and so happy finally did! We did the large platter 100 bucks but so worth it you get generous portions and plenty of sashimi and nigiri it was to die for. I really am so impressed by the silogismo and if you're hungry hungry and can just take down endless Tuna this is your spot! Service was quick sweet and attentive. The location itself is small but spacious at the time I went which was middle of the week at the very opening. Highly recommend overall! read more

We chose Matsuri for our anniversary dinner, and it could not have been a better choice. From the first bite to the last, the experience felt thoughtful, elevated, and genuinely special. We started with what might be one of the best comfort dishes we've had in a long time: crispy tofu in a deeply flavorful broth, topped with bonito flakes and scallions, alongside rich, tender pieces of beef. The balance between texture and umami was spot on, and it immediately set the tone for the evening. One of the highlights was the grilled fish, beautifully charred on the outside and incredibly moist on the inside, served simply with lemon and greens. It was a perfect example of how Matsuri lets high-quality ingredients speak for themselves. Clean, elegant, and full of flavor. We also shared a warm octopus dish with sautéed onions and peppers in a savory sauce that had just the right amount of depth and sweetness. The octopus was tender, not chewy, and paired wonderfully with a cold beer. Beyond the food, the atmosphere felt intimate and relaxed without losing that special-occasion feel. It was the kind of place where you can take your time, enjoy conversation, and feel present with the person you're there with. Matsuri made our anniversary dinner memorable, not just because the food was excellent, but because everything felt intentional. We'll absolutely be back, and it's now high on our list for future celebrations. read more

So there really isn't much to say per se. It's sushi. It's good sushi. If you want a nice quick bite or some take out and you're in the area, then you really can't go wrong with it. You want a nice little night out with another person you can't go wrong at all for a nice spot. Now, it's quaint and close but if it's full it's a bit loud so I would say keep the amount of people you go with small to be able to have a nice conversation. It will always be consistent and fresh. You're always going to have the freshness you need with sushi and the rolls will always be a nice tasty treat to sit down and watch house wives of the oc or play some cards against humanity. I would say one thing. I disliked the fact that when I went to pick up my food I was standing at the reservations desk waiting there with two young gentlemen, one with the broccoli haircuts we've come to love so much, just sitting there shooting the sh!t in Spanish without acknowledging my existence. Not rushing due to orders. Not taking payments or juggling multiple reservations or persons at once. Just talking in Spanish there like I was transparent. Not good. Especially considering the restaurant consideres itself a bit more on the higher end sushi experience. So do I recommend Matsuri, sure. I'll eat there again especially given the bad feel with those two young men. Every restaurant has its nights and deserves return. Especially when the food really is good and always consistent. read more

Don't be fooled by the unassuming exterior! Matsuri may be some of the best sushi I've had in Miami, and I was so impressed by the stunning quality and freshness of the fish. Even the non-sushi dishes surprised me - I would highly recommend the Age Tofu and Udon noodles! For sushi, you can't go wrong with the Tomo Tomo Special - especially if you're in a group. I will definitely be thinking of this place when I'm craving a sushi experience that combines the quality of a high end restaurant with the ease and comfort of a local go-to. read more

We came here decades ago with someone from Japan so we were introduced to an authentic gem back in the day when sushi was not as common. We used to come frequently over the years as it was a family favorite; however, recently rediscovered it in Dec and went back twice in the past 3 months. We did not realize line up culture was a thing but we get why. In Dec, we ordered the Matsuri combo (pictured) 12 sashimi, 6 sushi pieces with miso soup & tuna roll along with a few other items, salmon aburi nigiris, ohitashi. We got yaki nasu grilled jap eggplant w/ bonito flakes and yasai Itamae sauteed veggies as take away. The server was a bit confused and not as attentive but they do get busy once they open. Then during our recent visit last week, we ordered Masa for 2 combo fish only (pictured) 16 sashimi, couple of sliced shellfish, 9 sushi pieces and 2 rolls: spicy tuna and california roll w/ unagi topped, and miso soup and house salad. The fish was so fresh, we thoroughly enjoyed it. Then we got ohitashi and kimchi-ae to go. If you're looking for authentic Japanese restaurant, this is it. Our server this time was great, attentive and explained the difference between Matsuri vs Masa boats. Hope to keep frequenting this gem. read more

I have been wanting to come here for years. It is a local gem. Make a reservation via phone. It is busy. Filled with dates, family, and friend groups. . The service was good. Very efficient. We went for the Masa for two. It was a great amount of sushi for two people for $30 each. My friend ordered the dessert. I did not try it. In terms of the sushi I highly recommend it. It is fresh with a great variety and amount. I am definitely coming back here again. They have excellent lunch specials. Easy parking. I am so happy I went to this local gem ! read more

I want to start by saying that the food here is always a five out of five--consistently fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. However, this time, the service was slightly below expectations at a four out of five. Despite having a reservation, we were seated 15 minutes late, which was unexpected, especially on a Thursday night when the restaurant wasn't particularly busy. That said, once we were seated, the service was efficient, and our food arrived promptly. My boyfriend and I always opt for the Tomo Tomo for its superior quality fish, even though it is on the pricier side. I personally don't mind splurging for quality, and in my opinion, it's well worth it. The portion is generous, and the Tomo Tomo for two is always filling, especially with the included soup and/or salad. We were extra hungry this day so got the chicken skewers. The ambiance is upscale casual--elegant yet not overly formal. Overall, this place consistently delivers an excellent dining experience, and I highly recommend it for those looking for high-quality sushi and a refined but relaxed atmosphere. read more

Matsuri has been around as long as I can remember. They have some of the best sushi anywhere I have ever been. The menu is large and it is hard to go wrong except when it comes to matters of personal taste. I like the eel and tofu, yellowtail cheek, #31 sashimi platter, some burdock and sake to start. Some of the staff can be curt at times but I will charge that to a difference in culture and enjoy the food. The sushi bar is open again and I miss the floor seating. That being said Matsuri has the best lunch special it town at the moment. $12 for a bento. I get an "A" box and maybe split a second if I am really hungry. See you there. Dylan Approved read more

Food is great, Sashimi is very fresh. Service is not the best. The Staff at the front cater to the Hispanics. Everyone is greeted in Spanish even if you are speaking English. The decor is so plain. If it were not for the Sushi bar you would not feel as if you were in a Japanese restaurant. The Tranquil atmosphere is gone. The restaurant is very busy, we felt pushed to order. The waitresses look stressed out. The space between tables is very limited. Conversations of the people from the next table is very clear and audible. The New menu which was introduced a few weeks ago does not have the same items. The sashimi dish for one person is gone. Now you have sashimi for 2 at $60. Prices have gone through the roof. read more

if you prioritize nigiri and sashimi freshness this is the perfect place. we came at 12pm on a Wednesday and the tables filled up quickly. the tables are small and extremely close together, causing a loud ambiance which isn't my thing, however the food quality and price made up for it. 7 nigiri and a roll was only $20. amazing price read more

I cannot believe it has taken me so long to come here!! When you first arrive the ambiance seems very chaotic but honestly it is very organized. We made reservations over the phone (pro tip). We ordered a tomo tomo for 3 meaning everything came in orders of 3 or 6, this was the perfect amount of food! They start you off with a miso soup or ginger house salad. We got avocado salad which was ok think it needed more krab. The tomo tomo was sooooo unbelievably fresh. We had a great time as the server was also very attentive read more

This place was overwhelming, to say the least. We had two waitresses taking care of us it seems. My friend & I had a small corner table right by the side waiter station. When we sat down there wasn't much space at the table, we kept getting pushed to place an order right as we just sat down. We were given no time to ask any questions. As soon as we got our appetizer we were immediately asked to place our order for entree within minutes. We were then asked not to use the menu as a place mat and she physically moved it when the plate was barely on the menu and there was no food being eaten on it. We then watched the server dump a cup of water from someone's table into the pitcher then refill the cup with water and give it to someone else. Very fast paced restaurant but rushing your customers to hurry up and get out feels very uninviting and uncomfortable. Feeling very uneasy after seeing that and makes me question what else was mishandled behind what we could see. Don't see us returning. read more

Gone are the days of Matsuri shining bright. This restaurant used to be a gem. Unfortunately it has gone downhill. Initially, this used to be a traditional sushi restaurant with traditional sushi chefs. Now you have Lil hispanic dudes with blow outs producing half ass Publix grade sushi. Not traditional sushi bar grade quality. Nonetheless, you will receive a top grade $$$ bill. When we asked for menus, we were told to use the QR code on the table for ordering but I prefer a paper menu. We started with Saporo beer & diet coke to drink. We then ordered 2 Salmon skin hand rolls but were told they had no salmon for the rolls. I thought it was inadequate for a sushi restaurant because it's a basic hand roll but no matter. We got unagi hand roll instead, along with Toro sushi, Ikura Sushi & a trio of hamachi, tuna & salmon. Next we ordered 2 Spider rolls that arrived like California rolls - no sauce on them, no asparagusand no seaweed wrapped around them. Traditionally, a spider roll, even at a sushi buffet, has eel sauce over it and shows the soft shell crab legs on each end. The soft shell crab was almost non existent inside and the rolls were very small. Additionally, the attitude from our server when we asked for eel sauce was horrendous. Very rude woman. Terrible service. We ordered a Soba noodle soup and received a soba noodle bowl - no soup. When we complained, we were told by our horrendous server that she didn't hear us say soup. Didn't offer to change it tho. We ordered a Lunch Bento Box of Teriyaki Chicken - which I enjoyed parts of. The miso soup was good but was missing the seaweed & scallions. The salad was good, the tempura shrimp & veggies were very yummy and the California roll was enjoyable. Unfortunately, the chicken was dry, even though it was smothered in teriyaki sauce. To top it off you have signs in the restaurant telling you not to stay longer than 90 minutes! It's an erroneous assumption anyone would want to leave quickly and less than 90 minutes when they're eating and drinking. I would not go back to this restaurant, I don't recommend it. read more

I came here specifically on my birthday specifically to eat as much sushi as I could possibly eat - and I did just that. I love Matsuri's sushi. It is always so fresh and the service is so fast. The ONLY thing about coming here is even if you have a reservation, you *will* wait at least half an hour. They are always packed and there is always a line out the door. It's a tight, smallish place so I wouldn't recommend bringing a big party. We were 5 and we felt pretty squished. Their AC isn't the best either, so don't wear a sweater. But the sushi - the sushi is perfect. Special shout out to the Kirin Light that was so crispy ice cold it was almost frozen. read more

Matsuri (@matsurimiami), located in a strip mall on bird road, is another quality sushi find. It was a great weekday lunch option, as I was in and out in under 30 mins (damn work meetings).

Stay tuned! read more

Fresh sushi that is always at a great and reasonable price! Guaranteed quality and quantity is something I can count on everytime I visit here. The restaurant's layout is more like that of a cafe, where turnaround time is quick - some come for a fast bite, others for a more lengthy dinner. The service is very efficient and quick, you won't have to wait long for your food. The menu is quite extensive, offering a variety of foods to try even if sushi is not something you're in the mood for. Definitely give this restaurant a try!! read more

Matsuri is a go-to spot for anyone who loves sushi. I go pretty often and the food is always fresh and full of flavor. My favorites are the Masa special, the lunch specials, and the Chirashi -- all excellent choices. Service is consistently great, and the restaurant is always clean. The value for the quality you get makes it an easy pick for both lunch and dinner. It is a busy spot during lunch and peak dinner times, so be prepared to wait a little, but it is worth it. Overall, Matsuri is reliable, delicious, and perfect for sushi lovers of all kinds. read more

If you know about sushi, you know about Matsuri. The service is quick and attentive. The place is filled with people. It's as authentic as it gets, with an affordable price tag.

I started going to this place in the 90s before sushi was a thing. It was fantastic. After visiting again for the first time in easily 10 years I unfortunately can't still say the same thing. The place was PACKED. It still has that classy Japanese decor and it looks like there is always some sort of wait time which tells you a lot about how good their reputation is so I was really looking forward to it BUT the first sign I had that something was off was that when we were finally seated I realized just how jam-packed together the tables were. They are clearly milking their popularity for all it's worth. Then the miso soup came out cold and the sushi came out warm. Warm sushi sucks. And this was for a big platter so it wasn't cheap by any means. And the entire time it feels like they're hurrying you along so that they can get you out and sit the next paying customer. It's not the worst sushi place I've ever been to but to be honest for the price there are a whole lot of other places I would rather go to and spend my money. read more

So disappointed as to how much more expensive the new menu is. Prices have gone up so much!! What was $28 is now $42. What was $60 is now $100. read more

This review is long overdue. This is my go-to spot in Miami for sushi for two reasons: price and consistency. I'm huge into sashimi so fish quality is extremely important to me and Matsuri has never let me down. I order their Chirachi which is thick, fresh cuts of sashimi over warm sushi rice. You can upgrade for a couple extra dollars for top cut which is slightly better fish. Their selection of raw fish rolls are also really good and are filled with a generous amount of fish. One thing I'm not a fan of is the service. It's very hard to make a reservation and when I dine-in, I feel slightly rushed by staff to be in and out because they always have so many people waiting for a table. For that reason, I prefer to carry-out instead of dining-in. The restaurant is also slightly narrow in width and all of the tables are placed in a straight line and very close together. However, for some of the freshest sushi in Miami at an amazing price, Matsuri's the spot. Trust me. read more

First time going on Saturday around 6 and it was busy! Super overwhelming inside, a lot going on. We were sat quick but the vibe felt off cause it was so cramped. This isn't a first date place by any standard. Before I get to the bad, we did enjoy the Masa platter for 2, it was nicely presented and tasted fresh. Miso soup that came with the platter was pretty good too, probably my favorite. Now for the bad, service was close to terrible. Server was unenthusiastic and felt rushed. It seemed like the people working there didn't really care either unfortunately. I work in the restaurant business and it was really tough for me to enjoy the experience.

Matsuri - Masa platter for 2 with SM roll. - Japanese Near Me - Coral Terrace, Florida

This easily-missed restaurant, located in a strip mall has some of the best, high quality fish you can find in Miami, and although it's not cheap, it's very fairly priced. Focus on the fish! The Tomo Tomo is an incredible order. You get an eclectic array of the very best nigiri, sashimi, etc. It comes with 2 items but you can double it if you have a larger party. The agedashi tofu and chicken yakitori are other great additions to the meal. You can't make a reservation and the restaurant gets packed so for a mid-week lunch, I'd recommend arriving by 11:45 to ensure you get a table. Only complaint is that the restaurant should get a better sign. But the fact that the restaurant is packed despite the lack of signage is a true testament to the food read more

Miami locals seem to love this spot. I revisited here recently on a weekday for lunch. My initial time many years ago did not seem to leave too memorable an impression on me. This place was absolutely packed for lunch and quite loud inside. It's better to come right when they open or order takeout. We waited almost 30 minutes for a table, during which time many people came to pick up their takeout/delivery orders. Our server was incredibly busy and made the mistake of giving us another table's sushi. She quickly corrected this once we brought it to her attention. We got the eel rice, which is off the menu but they can make it for you. Honestly the eel tastes like the frozen ones you can get at the Asian supermarket and heat it up yourself. I thought their rice was really delicious. The sushi was solid and the fish tasted fresh. read more
