Matsuri has the best raw fish for the best price you can find in Miami. The quality of the sashimi is outstanding, always fresh and full of flavor, especially considering how reasonable the prices are. The place is not fancy at all and you will probably have to wait in line, but it moves quickly and is absolutely worth it. My recommendation is to arrive early to avoid a longer wait. We ordered the Tomo Tomo for two and everything was incredibly fresh and high quality. I will definitely be coming back very soon.

Really glad I made the reservation in advance. The quality to price ratio here honestly blew me away. Good sushi for potentially $30 per person! They have a pretty expansive menu too with stuff like okonomiyaki.

Matsuri is truly one of Miami’s hidden gems. I went there for my birthday and had an amazing experience — the sushi was incredibly fresh, and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. The quality and variety were outstanding, especially considering the price. We ate a lot, and the bill came to around $35 per person, including tax and tip — which is almost unheard of in Miami for sushi this fresh. The salmon and tuna practically melted in your mouth, and every dish tasted like it had just been prepared moments before. While the restaurant itself isn’t overly fancy or modern, it has a cozy, traditional Japanese feel that adds to the charm. Honestly, many of the city’s high-end sushi spots can’t compare, even though they charge several times more. If you’re looking for truly great sushi in Miami without spending a fortune, Matsuri is the place to go.

Had an awesome dinner at Matsuri! Started with a cold Sapporo served in a perfectly chilled glass — such a nice touch. Everything was super fresh and authentic — felt like eating in Japan! Only small downside was the table being a bit too small for all our dishes, but overall, we absolutely loved it and will definitely be back!

The sushi was delicious and excellent quality, however, service was bad. Upon check in I provided my name, the waiter wrote down a completely different name, I had to walk up to them to ask if they had called my name, and they advised they wrote “Daisy” down because that’s what he understood, never asked for spelling or corrected his understanding. Waiters were rushed, did not even offer water, and disorganized.

Pretty good overall, the sashimi was cut into larger chunks than the slices I’m used to. The nigiri has smaller slices that aren’t waterfalled over, which would be ideal. The miso soup is a bit too salty for me, which is odd because I like my food on the salty side. The fish seemed relatively fresh, and I’m a fan of the soy sauce they use.

One of the best casual sushi restaurants I’ve been to. So good I almost want to gatekeep. Everything tastes so fresh, and the prices are unbeatable. Would come here all the time if I lived in Miami. So many options and the sashimi is incredibly well priced. This place is recommended by a lot of Japanese people and I see why. There is a long wait most of the time and they do not take reservations but it is worth the wait. We had a party of 7 if I recall correctly and they accommodated us despite the restaurant being quite tight.

Matsuri is hands down the most authentic, freshest and for sure the best Japanese restaurant in all of Miami and South Florida. Miso, Nato, Special Sahimi.

This was an extremely frustrating and unprofessional dining experience, primarily due to the service.
From the start, the service was poor. Water was not refilled in a timely manner, and we had to wait far too long for basic attention. On top of that, the server’s tone was impatient and unpleasant, making us feel rushed to order, as if we were an inconvenience rather than customers.
It is important to clarify this clearly:
We are non-English speakers, but that is absolutely not a valid reason to treat customers with disrespect, impatience, or poor attitude. Language barriers do not excuse unprofessional behavior.
What completely crossed the line was the following:
After receiving clearly inadequate service, I chose not to leave a tip. The server then confronted me directly, asking why I didn’t tip, and even claimed that she had “treated us very well.”
That claim is hard to understand.
Failing to refill water, speaking rudely, rushing customers, and showing no basic courtesy is not “good service.”
Tipping is not mandatory, and it is certainly not something servers are entitled to demand or question customers about, especially after poor service. Confronting a customer over tipping is inappropriate, unprofessional, and disrespectful.
The overall message from this restaurant is clear:
They prioritize tips over service quality and feel entitled to challenge customers who don’t comply.
If you expect basic professionalism, respectful treatment, and not being confronted over your tipping decision, I strongly recommend avoiding this place.
I will not return, and I do not recommend it.

Great ambiance and a very nice atmosphere. Prices are reasonable, but unfortunately I wasn’t completely satisfied with the fish quality or the sushi overall. Good spot for the vibe, but the food didn’t fully meet my expectations.
