The sushi at Matsuri is not only fresh and tasty, but it is also not overly expensive. Located…read moreright in the heart of Federal Hill right by Cross Street Market, it has both an outdoor patio and indoor seating. They are also dog friendly. They do have a happy hour on Monday to Friday from 4 PM to 6:30 PM. This includes certain rolls and appetizers, beer, wine, and cocktails. I had the lychee Saketini (HH $8), and it definitely had lychee flavor. It was a little lighter on the alcohol though. I also had a 22 oz. can of Sapporo premium beer, which was also on happy hour for $7.50. Both the bagel roll and California roll were $6 on happy hour as well. I highly recommend the Volcano Roll (HH $12), which had 6 pieces of salmon and tuna top with a spicy mayo and eel sauce. We initially sat outside, but once it started raining, they helped us bring everything inside. The hostess was very kind and our server was excellent. In terms of the ambiance, there is not much indoor and outdoor seating. It seems like they mainly do take out. Also, street parking can be limited.

The only thing we didn't really like was the fried calamari, the batter on it was too thick and wasn't appetizing. To drink, we had the Tokyo Tea and Kabuto Peach. Both drinks were good and had a good amount of alcohol in each. We ordered the shrimp teriyaki fried rice to go and the NY cheesecake. I don't think they know what NY cheesecake is. NY cheesecake is plain cheesecake, with maybe only a strawberry on the side. I'm not sure what I got, maybe cheesecake with chocolate syrup (I haven't tried it yet). I would return. Also, please note, they automatically charge an 18% gratuity to all bills, which is posted all over the place but my husband somehow seemed to still miss and severely over-tipped since it wasn't mentioned by the cashier. The ambiance is fine, they have a separate dining area for those doing hibachi only. We sat on the other side, which was tables and a long bar area. Towards the end of our service, it did seem as though we were being rushed as they were getting busier.

I ordered the Chirashi bowl with a side salad and miso soup. On third fork full of salad something poked me, to my horror it was a Nail clipping. I spoke to the server and she argued that it's not a Nail, and when I asked what it could be she said she doesn't know. She did not offer to replace my salad and insist that she doesn't know what that is vut def not a Nail clipping and instead just offered a 10% discount just for my food. I will never come back after that disgusting experience.

We were a party of 9 and I chose not to have hibachi this visit; it was immediately as if my order was disregarded because of my choice. My very 1st time at this location we had the same server and something about his demeanor refreshed that memory. The restaurant has a full bar, but is family friendly of course and fun for all while you enjoy good food. A few items were a little slow from the kitchen, and I noticed a few things a bit overcooked on the hibachi grill. All-in-all we enjoyed ourselves and there were very few complaints about other menu items ordered. I would go back and give it at least 1 more try.

I ordered delivery from Benihana - Baltimore on Sunday 8/25 for dinner. I have been a Benihana…read morecustomer for many years but there is not an eat-in location within 30 minutes of where I live now so I was excited when I found I could order one of my favorite meals through RA Sushi. However, I was extremely disappointed with my order. First of all, I ordered 2 speciality entrees (Rocky's Choice and Benihana Delight). Both should have come with both soup and salad, however, only 1 soup was included in my delivery. Furthermore, the soup we were given was miso soup and not Benihana Onion soup. Neither myself or my husband enjoy miso soup so we did not eat the soup we were given. Both entrees came with chicken fried rice even though they were ordered with white rice. I understand the fried rice is an upgrade and may be considered 'better' but I very much prefer the white rice and was disappointed with this substitution. Furthermore, the fried rice was undercooked. The vegetables were extremely crunchy and the rice was dry. Finally, we had ordered several sauces and paid for these sauces. I had ordered 2 ginger sauces, 2 mustard sauces, and 1 yum yum sauce. When our ordered arrived we were only given 1 sauce (1 yum yum) and not the total of 5 that were ordered and paid for. Overall, my order was nothing like I expected it to be after eating at Benihana for over 20 years. The food was dry and missing several components that were ordered. This disappointment was compounded by the fact that since we ordered 2 speciality entrees the total was over $100 (not including delivery fees). For this price point, nothing should be missing and the food should be prepared as expected. The delivery option is the same price as dine-in which is absurd seeming as when you dine in person the food is fresher and you are also provided entertainment. If you are only serving take-out and delivery for Benihana and charging the same as dine-in the food must be top notch. I was okay paying the same as dine-in until my food was delivered and did not meet the bare minimum standards. I understand that Benihana-Baltimore food is prepared by RA Sushi and not a typical Benihana location. However, if RA cannot provide the food items and cannot prepare the food as expected, it should not even be an option to order from this location.

Between my order being wrong, missing items, items replaced with whatever they feel like, to order never making it to me, or being "stolen" (of course last two reasons are fault of delivery) I just gave up.

Advice, don't order from either places.
