This was an exceptional dining experience, all around winning location, service and sushi. A fantastic date night in a perfect setting. We started with one of my favorites; oyster shooters. They were amazing, I'll take an entire dozen next visit. My husband had a baked lobster roll which he said was out of this world. They were kind to exchange his chop sticks so he would not contaminate our sashimi with shellfish since I am allergic. We ordered the 5 kinds sashimi, chef's choice. King salmon was fresh and delicious. The ahi blue fin was melt in your mouth perfection. Shima aji, was flounder (as my notes say) and I enjoyed this thinly sliced sashimi. Gen saba is high end sushi but it was my least favorite of the bunch. It is thick and meaty, very dense and has exceptional flavor. The texture is just not my personal favorite. The hamachi was out of this world, my favorite of the assortment. The small and intimate restaurant is just what I needed here. I feel like I'm home and this is my local spot. Maybe now it is! Julie our waitress, (who is also an owner and her husband is the chef) was phenomenal. I adore her! If I don't come back for the food I'll come to visit her, just kidding we have to come back here it's a gem and the sushi is top notch. Mrs. Julie's Blue sake recommendation was perfect. The other waitstaff was also attentive and I felt like the dining experience was one of the best I have had in Hawai'i.

My other half and I love trying new sushi restaurants and this place was perfect for us to spend an early Valentine's dinner with each other. We made reservations for a Saturday night and it was surprisingly not that busy! Tucked away in what seemed like a random building, we were able to find it with the help of signs.Staff were helpful in sake recommendations and attentive throughout the whole meal.For appetizers, we got the wagyu carpaccio--delicious, but for $38 I do wish it came with more than just 4 pieces (granted, it is *wagyu*), a braised kobucha, and an extra large hamachi kama! Also chose to share the Matsuri nigiri set and omakase chirashi. The sushi/sashimi was super buttery soft and fresh and worth the price in my opinion. My favorite of the night would have to be dessert since I have a huge sweet tooth. We got the sake crème brûlée and added the house-made sake ice cream as recommended. I would definitely come back just for that!

Finally we returned to one of our favorite sushi places! I spoke to owner Julie on their new phone number 808-745-5858. You can also Text your Take Out Order after reviewing their website. MatsuriHawaii.comThey have a New Online Menu! Sadly, they no longer have Happy Hour Menu, but everything was still exceptional quality! Owner / Executive Chef Yoshi always impresses us! He has many years of experience and his creativity and love shows through in his food.We were so happy to see Julie and Yoshi as we picked up our food order. It was Saturday night and they were open for dine-in with limited social distancing tables. Reservations are suggested. We ordered Ikura and Salmon Nigiri, 1 Large Hamachi Kama, 2 Butterfish Misoyaki, 1 Thunder Roll and 1 Kotobuki Roll. The Ikura and Salmon nigiri was super fresh and tasty! My Dad loved the Large Hamachi Kama! He said it was really good and wants to order again. Reuben and I enjoyed our Butterfish Misoyaki - WOW! I have to admit, this is in the Top 3 Best Butterfishes I've ever tried! It all reminds me of when we visited Japan. The Thunder Dynamite Roll was a nice, crunchy shrimp tempura with seared spicy tuna and dynamite sauce.The Kotobuki Roll was seared Ahi (tuna), Ika (squid), and shrimp tempura topped with thinly sliced jalapeños and dynamite sauce. Everything was AMAZING and we look forward to the next time! Mahalo ~

My wife and I had dinner here for the first time and we loved it. I recommend this place for the seafood. The fish quality for great. Sashimi was so soft and buttery like. I recommend the crab. It's a bit pricey tho but it is really prepared nicely and very easy to eat without any work. We also had the sashimi platter. It was so fresh and soft. We asked the waiter to deep fry the shrimp heads and it was so good eating it. Chrunchy and tasty. I would for sure come here again to treat ourselves.

After coming here with no expectations, I always come back because it is always up to par. The fish is great quality and honestly the omakase chirashi cannot be beat, it has everything in it that you would want to have. The cooked dishes are good, the crab is special, and the speciality rolls are always fun. I've taken multiple people from out of town here and it always is a hit. I'll be back!

Well this sushi spot was a well kept secret that I think people should know about. I came here for my birthday because my first 2 sushi spots were closed on Sundays. Let me just say, thank goodness otherwise I would've discovered this gem. It is tucked away in a small area with a small parking lot for customers. Have no worries about finding parking because it's so hidden that not a lot of people know it's there. When we walked it, only a handful of people full of people there.....super quiet and intimate. I had a specialty roll and my husband had the dragon roll with no seaweed. Yes, not much of a sushi person but requested no seaweed in which they accommodated him. My son tasted his and liked it but of course had to order crispy chicken for him. Both rolls were super good but the chicken was the one that caught my attention. Well made crispy chicken at a Japanese sushi spot was amazing. That is a must try. We mention my birthday and ordered a dessert so they put a candle on there for me to make a wish. Everything was fabulous and will definitely come back again.

This is our second time here and it was just as goo as the first time. We got the Wafu Steak which came out on a hot platter and was cooked to perfection with a tasty teri glaze sauce and onion. We also ordered Uni and a few orders of their otoro and chutoro. The service was great and the vibe is your usual chill izakaya vibe. It's easy to miss the turn into the area but drive slowly and you'll be able to see their sign on the building and one on the sidewalk.
