Matsumoto Samurai's Kitchen

Matsumoto Samurai's Kitchen, Oakhurst: 2025 Jan 22 (5 of 5)Hamachi Kama: Hamachi Kama is the collar of the yellowtail located just above the gills and below the head. It is the fattiest part of the fish making it naturally juicy.The flesh is delicate and tender. It has a buttery sweet taste and full of rich flavour with no fishy after-taste. The skin is grilled to a nice crispy texture. To keep this simple and tasty, all that's needed was a squeeze of lemon. This is the best I've tasted thus far. Ahh... heaven.

Food was so fresh and portion generous! We went late and although they had run out of some items they definitely compensated with substitutions and delicious comped matcha cookies! Owners so friendly and gracious. Ordered a poke bowl, gyoza and Mac salad which was surprisingly light and very tasty. Sauces were also amazing- the creamy miso- unique and total chefs kiss!

Talk about an interesting setting for Japanese food! Wed-Fri this cute little food truck is parked right front and center in front of Fresno Flats Historical Park. Right past the high school on School Road in Oakhurst. It sports, picnic tables and outdoor seating, where after lunch you can peruse through the Historic Center and take pictures with Smoky the bear.This husband wife team are sweet and professional and knock out sushi rolls, and sashimi plates like no tomorrow.It's gonna set you back more than you thought for a food truck but you are pretty much getting the only sushi bowls in Oakhurst and it is pretty well put together. It was very tasty and fresh and the only thing I can complain about are all the little soy sauce, packets, and prepackaged stuff. It would be really nice if they had a couple bottles of soy sauce sitting out w some furikake available. I mean maybe there is a reason they don't, but it would be nice. those little package packets of soy sauce get arduous on the fifth one and messy. They were also out of tuna and shrimp, which they graciously substituted for salmon and crab, so I can't complain too much.Great food truck definitely will be going back. I mean where can you look at old historical buildings and buckboards while eating sushi with a resident cat on a picnic table!

Food is always very fresh and delicious. Prompt friendly service. There is often a special to enhance their regular menu. Truly the best Japanese food not only local, but for many miles.

Matsumoto Samurai's Kitchen is an amazing gem in Oakhurst. So glad we found them. Veronica and the Chef are wonderfully friendly and gracious hosts. Their poke bowls have become a weekly reward for us and we look forward to going and enjoying their delicious food when Thursday or Friday roll around. The poke bowls are excellent. So far we've also tried the gyozas, Tokyo fried chicken, and miso soup. All are great and worth trying. Highly recommended. They're parked at the Fresno flats historic village, thursday thru Saturday, which is equipped with picnic tables and great shaded scenery to enjoy your order on the spot.

Love these people and love the delicious, fresh food. I like to find them at the Queen's Inn wine bar some nights. The vegan bowl is the best!

The worker was very kind! My mother ordered 2 poke bowls. My mother ordered spicy tuna, scallops, crab meat and shrimp. Also avocado cucumber and edamame and all the freebies too. We had to figure out where they were located and the worker gave the address and said it would be ready in 15 minutes. We went to get it.It is the smallest cute little red truck and it's at a nice area where you can sit and enjoy it if you want to. The worker was very kind and welcoming! My poke bowl was Amazingly delicious! Wow! Loved the spicy tuna, scallops, crab meat and shrimp! Fresh avocado, cucumbers and edamame! Great rice! Tasted even better after being topped with wasabi and soy sauce! The scallops were my favorite! It had a lot of flavor! My mother said hers was really good! Great service and absolutely delicious poke bowl lunch! Highly recommended!

Three words: SO...FREAKIN'...GOOD!We are vegans and stopped there to check it out and we were so glad we did. We got two different things to share and they were both delicious. Really, really yummy food. If we are in town at mealtime, they are one of our top choices.

Just moved back up to the area and thank goodness there is a way to get decent food in the area! Most places are either too expensive and just pretty gross. Fresh, great tasting(did I mention FRESH?) Japanese food. My new go to for GREAT food!

Had the fried chicken bowl and gyoza. Gyoza was fabulous! Looks like from the reviews we should try the Tokyo fried chicken next time. Would recommend.
