Loved this place! Located inside at the bottom level of a small almost mall situation, this little gem is def worth checking out. I sat at the bar, and ordered a lunch sushi special. Delicious fresh nigiri especially the salmon and yellowtail was just melt in your mouth. The hostess/ server was welcoming and attentive, and the service was fantastic. The sushi chef was preparing different cuts of fish and when I inquired about the one he had been cutting, he asked me if I had ever had abalone and treated me to a single nigiri of the fresh abalone. What a completely lovely treat and such kind personal service. Def highly recommend! read more

Sushi Matsuri - Lunch special 2 - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

The menu is very formulaic and not innovative. One of the Japanese waiters would take away the bowls and cutlery almost as soon as each dish was finished making it impossible to feel pleasant. read more

"Hi! What time are y'all open till?" ..."Yes." "No...like, when do you close?" "We are open." ........ That's when I knew it would be a great restaurant. This was actually our second dinner, and boy, am I glad we went for it. We decided to sit at the sushi counter, so that our kiddo could have that experience. And yes, it was AWESOME. None of the wait staff or chefs that we spoke to spoke much English; only Japanese. But that made it fun! And it also told us that they cared more about the food than about anything else. They were kind, inviting, and helpful with our obnoxious stroller. We ordered chawnmushi, dashi tamago, and 3 nigiri sets. I hope I'm spelling everything right. The chawnmushi was the perfect consistency, and was suuuuper yummy and umami-y. (It's like an egg custard full of seafood and mushrooms, if you've never had it.) The dashi tamago was sweet, salty, fluffy, and perfectly moist. Yes, I said it. Moist. The layers were absolutely perfect, and if ordered on the side, it's warmed, while if part of a set, it's served cold, with rice and seaweed. The nigiri set was epic: the ikura and hamachi were stars of that show to me, but everything on it was absolutely delish. Everything was made with care and precision, and the staff was kind, helpful, and attentive. The only negative I could possibly list was that they didn't have uni, my favorite seafood. Perhaps they just didn't have any in; I'll ask again next time I go! 10/10 will return. read more

Food was great service was great and the ambiance was chill AF... perfect for a lunch or dinner date.. highly recommend

I have to admit I was unsure about this place until we received our food. It was very good. Their special soy sauce is rich and flavorful. Don't let the food court style location and the laminated picture menus fool you: it's solid sushi. read more

Good food and service. Lunch was very good. They also serve green tea. Would recommend to a friend. read more

Sushi Matsuri - Eel lunch menu - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

The lunch menu pricing is pretty good. The quality of the food and the service were mediocre. Perhaps it was just an off day. Wasabi was served only when we asked. We ordered two lunch sets and the miso soup was only served after the meals arrived. And again, we had to ask. We were the only customers for the first 20 minutes so it wasn't busy. The rainbow roll was haphazardly constructed. The shrimp & ahi on the roll were not uniformly cut. The tempura bowl & the dragon roll both had the same sauce. Tempura shrimp & green beans were heavily breaded but hot and crispy. It was OK, but a little sad. read more

Great sushi place! All the fish were fresh! Egg dashi and jellyfish were great as well. Wished the sushi rice was more vinegared. But other than that, everything else was perfect. Slightly expensive. But quality is good. Great service and great ambiance. read more

Avoid at all costs. Honestly I thought I'd give this a try with my family since they had good rating and saw it was very lowkey. Not crowded. Now I know why. Sushi wasn't that fresh. Horrible service and on top of that in the end the server began asking for an increase in tip. WHAT!!!??? I've never ever had anyone demand for a higher tip . He's lucky I gave him something. Never again. How do these guys have 4.5 stars ? Funny business. read more

Came back for the second night in a row. Fantastic food yet again! Got the Otoro and it was phenomenal. Servers are always lovely.

Hidden Gem at STYX Asia located right in the heart of waikiki . I had the pleasure of dining at Sushi Matsuri on their opening week . Nicole was very welcoming and answered all my inquiries about there delicious menu . Sushi Matsuri has a wide variety Sushi dishes and tempura as well . They serve miso soup with clams which was so flavorful, it's now my favorite soup . Vegetable and shrimp tempura was the dish I ordered that day . Lightly flavored with tempura sauce .

Japanese chef inspired dishes . Sushi Matsuri is good for. Date nights . Birthday celebrations or Corporate luncheons . I will definitely return to try their wonderful dishes on the menu. Thank you and aloha read more

Great quality fresh and delicious sushi in the Stix food hall across from the royal hawaiian center. Friendly service, feels and tastes like being in japan. The rice was nicely warm and fish very fresh. Also the special soy sauce is amazing and one of the best egg omelets. read more

Not bad, not great. The Meat Soup was OK, somewhat fatty and oily (maybe it's supposed to be?) The Shrimp Tempura was fine. And we had the 12 piece Nigiri. Again, not bad, but not good enough to want to go back, or recommend the place. The sushi rice was weird. It was hard to hold a piece together to do a soy/wasabi dip, everything fell apart. Friendly staff, good service. Great icy Asahi drafts. read more

I am a first time visitor of Waikiki and I knew I wanted to try some fresh sushi while I was here. My family and I stumbled upon this sushi spot inside of Stix Asia Food Hall and wanted to try it. We were immediately drawn in by the modern Japanese decor and welcoming employees. My husband, toddler and I shared the "kids" meal, Dragon Eel Roll & Rainbow roll and edamame. Accompanied by some beer and shoshu! (which I haven't had since I went to Japan!) Everything tasted so so fresh! The melt in your mouth kind of sushi, omg, it was so good. The server was super friendly and attentive to my little kids which was a nice gesture. We were full and happy and excited to have supported their soft grand opening! read more

We went during lunch. Ordered the eel bowl and tempura bowl. It was delicious. Staff were very friendly and courteous. I will definitely come again and try something else. Thank you. read more

I just came back from Japan and it felt like I had traveled right back! This is I think the best sushi I have had in Hawaii. The restaurant is nestled within Stix Asia Waikiki, where it feels very comfortable and cozy. The best part however was definitely the service, everyone was so nice and my server made me feel incredibly comfortable and happy to be there :) thank you Riko! read more

The cost did not match the quality or creativity of the food. That is, everything tasted fresh. It just wasn't anything to write home about and made my nearly $200 bill for just me and my 8 and 5 year old daughters not worth it. The other bad part was that our waiter was not around enough to keep our water glasses filled. At one point I had to flag down a hostess to get more water. read more

The sushi was very good. Had the 10 piece. Interesting soy sauce. Wife had tempura and loved it. The clam miso soup was very tasty! The Sauvignon Blanc was very good. Service was very good and food was served in the right order and quickly. You can easily run about $50 a person. read more

Come here if you like nigiri and sashimi!! The salmon was so buttery and delicious, probably the best I've ever had. Their soy sauce is from Japan and was literally so decadent that I asked to take a sample to go. The hostess was so nice and helpful, definitely stop here! read more

Sushi Matsuri - Salmon, Tuna, Rainbow Roll - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

More variety in cut rolls, please; service is good and many regular customers but not for us.

What an awesome little spot! Outstanding food, competent and friendly staff, warm welcome, fast service. We came in at 6.30 with our toddler and they were super accommodating. We had miso soups, seaweed salad, baby had the omelette and the avocado roll and the omelette was so delicious - a sweet touch, perfectly formed; I had the salmon sashimi which was buttery soft, just delicious - we had the fish collar and my husband had a sushi platter and overall, probably one of the best meals we've had here in Hawaii (or for sushi in LA for that matter!). It reminded me of Japan with the quality of ingredients, attention to detail and careful service. Will be back and recommend! read more

Food was delicious, they allowed our outside beverages which was a plus in our book and the servers were sooooooo nice and friendly. The fish was super tasty and fresh...the salmon melted in our mouths it was so delicious...it's a small place but cute and you can tell they take pride in their restaurant overall it was great and I definitely recommend coming here read more

The quality of the sushi was incredibly high end. The service was impeccable. A great find in the heart of Waikiki. Really quick prep by the chef. Helpful recommendations by the wait staff. Highly recommend for anyone who loves sushi. read more

Wow, what a surprise! Had to search around in the basement food court, looking for some good sushi. This was amazing, authentic, and delicious! Service was fast and very friendly. Great value for the quality. We have a new favorite sushi haunt in Waikiki! read more

Newly opened Sushi restaurant. Take escalator down from street level. Not too busy at 6:00 PM. Great sushi, fresh and tasty. Ambiance is upscale, Japanese style. English is a second language here, but didn't seem to hinder our experience. I would recommended. I will visit again. Thank you. read more

It was ok. The California roll and vegetable roll tonight had hard avocado. Not ripe yet. But we were hungry so we just ate them anyway. The miso soup portion was so tiny. We felt pressure to give more tip than we wanted because the server stands there while you fill out your credit card bill. I feel regret about how much I gave because I am an unhappy customer. While we were there during dinner there was only one sushi chef so things were coming out pretty slowly. One plate at a time. read more

Sushi was good until I saw a cockroach on the chair next to me. I didn't say anything because the server was nice. Tempura roll only had tempura in it. Kind of overpriced. read more

Take the escalator down to food court. Excellent service and food was superior! Will make it back before we leave.

I'm so glad I found this place and it will be my go to place to eat. Sashimi tasted so fresh and their green tea is good. read more

Fresh fish from Japan! Good attentive service. Priced right for the freshness! Must try when in Waikiki. Cute spot at basement floor of Waikiki Shopping Center. read more

Sushi wasn't too fresh, especially the ika. Service was good and friendly. It rather empty on a Sunday afternoon.

They don't answer their phone and rudely hang up every time. Must not be very good service.

I heard about the Stix Asia Food Hall and what a treasure of restaurants inside. My family tried Sushi Matsuri and ordered nigiri dinner sets, sashimi and sides for lunch. The fish was so fresh and expertly sliced. No fishy smell or fishy taste which shows fresh, high quality ingredients. Clean and fresh tasting. The sushi master knows his fish! This place is legit authentic with a great staff that hosted us and made us feel welcome. They all speak English and Japanese and prices are reasonable. My kids love it and we went back 3x during our one week visit. A definite favorite for us when we visit Waikiki. So glad we found it!! Note: the menu features traditional sushi like sashimi and nigiri and some side dishes like tempura, cold tofu, tamago. You won't find Americanized rolls with crazy names and mayo sauces. This place is for real sushi lovers. Check it out! read more
