    Scallop Handroll, Tuna Handroll, can't remember the third!
    Katie L.

    Went in with low expectations because how good and how filling can hand rolls be? It was a fun idea to try for a dinner date but it ended up being a wonderful meal. From service to drinks to food, it was a great time. There wasn't a roll I didn't like and the servings are generous.

    All the hand rolls I got were great. Definitely yummy, but it is very much on the pricy side. From just these 3 handrolls alone, I spent ~$50 (including tax and tip). I wasn't full unfortunately. Interior was cute, and the service was good. I don't know if I'd come back only for the price point.

    Had a delightful quick dinner at Matsunori, and I was excited to share the experience! While the handrolls are not very cheap, they definitely fill you up given the size; this is especially true for the specialty rolls which are in the $10-11 range per item! The restaurant was not too busy on a random weeknight, so service was prompt. The servers also kept the appetizer and handrolls at a good pace throughout!

    Decided to try this new place last weekend and it was so good! The rolls came out fast and service was super friendly and attentive! Some rolls were ~$18 which is pretty pricey. I ordered: - A5 wagyu: 4/5 Super tender and flavorful but it didn't blow me away. - Miso Cod: 5/5 This was absolute favorite! The cod was so buttery, flavorful, and perfectly flaky. - Spicy crab: 3/5 Creamy and well-seasoned but seemed pretty average. - Spicy tempura shrimp 4/5 Loved the crunch of the shrimp and you definitely got a kick from the spice. - Spicy Scallop: 4/5 The scallop was fresh and melted in your mouth. So delicious. Overall, the food was delicious and the service was great! However, I do think the prices are steep and not sure if I would be willing to pay that price again.

    Very good selection of handrolls, albeit they were very expensive. 5 handrolls costed around $89 with tax and tip, and it was not super filling. The quality of ingredients was definitely top notch but I think the combination of ingredients did not mesh well together. Miso butter cod was super flavorful, but the toro was a less fattier cut (Expected o toro for the price) and did not add much flavor. The shrimp tempura was super messy with all the flavor combinations, the wagyu was nothing special. The scallop was good with the yuzu salt though to bring out the fish. Overall, the handrolls were pretty but the price does not match the taste

    Unfortunately my return visit to Matsunori was a flop. Service was kind but the food was simply not up to par. The most expensive roll I ordered was a complete let down as the toro seemed to be straight from the freezer (way too cold). Probably will not be going back a third time.

    Uni & miso cod hand rolls were my favorite. These hand rolls are actually very filling. Service was very fast & efficient. Nice spot to go for a quick bite if you're craving sushi

    What an incredible addition to Long Island City! This sushi hand roll spot completely blew me away. From the moment I walked in, the attention to detail was clear--clean, minimalist space, super friendly staff, and an atmosphere that lets the food speak for itself. The hand rolls? Absolutely next-level. The fish was incredibly fresh--melt-in-your-mouth quality--and each roll was made to order with precision and care. The presentation was beautiful too, with a focus on simplicity and balance that really highlights the quality of the ingredients. You can tell they care about what they're serving, and it makes all the difference. Every bite was delicious, from the crisp nori to the perfectly seasoned rice. Whether you're a sushi lover or just looking for a standout meal in LIC, this place is a must-try. Spicy Scallop and miso cod were my favorites

    This place has to be my all time favorite handroll place in queens right now. Everything was super fresh and the presentation was really simple and clean as well. My boyfriend and I stopped by on a whim one day due to a sudden sushi craving and I do have to say, I think we got lucky getting a table on the spot because the restaurant filled up soon after (definitely understood why after we started eating). We got a couple of rolls to try: The Eel Handroll was nicely smoky. The Botan Ebi Ikura Handroll had a very nice crunch from the sweet shrimp and was lightly fishy from the ikura (not overpowering). The A5 Miyazaki Wagyu Handroll was good but it was definitely one that I could've skipped. However, the Uni Handroll saved that set. The Uni was perfectly buttery and creamy and it was nicely sweet. The Blue Crab Handroll was just okay, I might just prefer my crab to be warm so it could just be a preference thing. The Spicy Scallop Handroll was super fresh. I love scallops so I really enjoyed this one especially since the scallops were lightly sweet however, I do wish the chucks of scallops were a little bigger. And last but not least the Toro Mushroom Handroll. I just want to start off with I do not like tuna or mushrooms, we ordered this handroll specifically for my boyfriend but it was my favorite out of all of the handrolls we ordered. We ended the night on a crème brûlée which was also perfect! The food was great, the staff was great, the vibes were great, this place will definitely be my go to Handroll place in queens! Also, one thing I really appreciated was it did not feel like these handrolls were just stuffed with rice. The rice to fish ratio was very generous.

    Shirley W.

    Tasty and fresh handrolls! Staff was friendly and explained the menu, and suggested about 4-5 handrolls per person. I ordered: - Mango salmon - Yellowtail - Miso butter cod - Snow crab - Toro jelly My favorites were the toro jelly and miso butter cod. The snow crab was pretty good too. They definitely don't skimp on the fish! It was a bit on the pricier side though as each one ranged from $7-$17. No reservations, walk in only. Would definitely come back

    Truffle Edamame
    Tony J.

    Great sushi resto only does hand rolls. Nice inside w open kitchen . Very stylish inside and small place. Service was fast and informative. The food was good. Truffle edamame was a food starter. Then we had 4 of their rolls. The best was the miso cod but the spicy tuna was a close second too. Definitely worth a try .

    I came here last night after work as I was craving sushi and I heard about this new local restaurant on Instagram. This restaurant only serves hand rolls that range from $7-$19. The restaurant is small but surprisingly pretty spacious and the tables were spread out. I walked in around 8pm and I was seated very quickly at the bar table. I like to watch the chefs as they make different hand rolls. I started off with the salmon cups, which are 4 small pastry cups topped with a salmon pate. Then for my hand rolls I had the spicy salmon, miso butter cod, toro mushroom and the A5 wagyu. Both the raw and cooked hand rolls were amazingly fresh and delicious. Some rolls are pricey but it's worth it. There are some extra add-ons for an additional fee but I did not try them. My server was Carol and she was so attentive and always asking me how my food was. She even spent a little bit of time talking to me about the restaurant and how they've been open for about a month. I look forward to coming back here in the future

    Miso Butter Cod Handroll
    Surge C.

    Absolutely delicious handroll bar. The portions of the fish are huge and so well-priced. I love how spacious the restaurant is and how attentive the staff is. come hungry because you'll want to eat your way through their menu! The miso butter cod roll was such a standout item for me. I also loved the freshness of their scallop handroll and the flavors of their eel handroll. Def recommend if you're in LIC.

The ones we had been to in the past usually allows you to also pick different type of cooking style or seasoning but this place only cooks it their way. It's good for people who are indecisive but disappointing for people who want variety of flavor. They usually have a section of appetizers and drinks you can order on a separate menu as well. The staffs were very low energies when we visited on a weekend night. The overall ambiance and interaction made us feel a little uncomfortable. We ordered: - eggplant dip - fries - Greek salad (large) - cooked fish - calamari - octopus Honestly I was so disappointed with the food. It didn't taste as fresh and was overall too salty. The eggplant dip had a weird taste. Friend fries were not as crispy and unevenly distributed portions of salt. The calamari was nothing special. The fish was okay, and the octopus was so salty we actually sent back the dish. It was very difficult to enjoy it. The staff was so accommodating and actually took the dish off our bill. (Thank you!! - great customer service!). My favorite item was probably the Greek salad, but then again it's hard to mess up a salad. I would say this is my least favorite counter order style seafood restaurant in Astoria. My friend said great things about it prior to my visit and I really wish I would have liked it.
