Eel Handroll
Karen Y.

Every week they have a $5 handroll special! This week it was eel - super worth! It was indeed a lot of rice though. The mango salmon was fresh and flavorful! The yellowtail was as well. The spicy scallop had too much mayo; it overpowered the taste of the scallop. Total came out to ~$40 for 4 handrolls.

Amazing handrolls! Especially the Salmon/Ikura, Garlic Toro, Waygu, Miso Cod. The best handroll restaurant that I have ever been to! Can't wait to go there again.

This place is very spacious and the staff was quickly to attend to us! However the place could use some AC as it felt very humid and stuffy inside (esp on a hot summer day). I highly recommend the salmon cups as the sashimi was fresh and everything paired well together, just be aware that it's very small! My only complaint is that the seaweed that came with the hand rolls were soggy and not crispy like other places, so it didn't feel fresh and it was pretty hard to take bites. Overall this was a fun experience, but I wouldn't come again casually as it is very pricey!

Spicy Scallop Handroll
Kobe Z.

We really loved the Matsunori in Boston and was exciting learning that there was an NYC location. They took reservations and it was easy to book, even for a Friday evening. The service was attentive, serving the handrolls one-by-one and coming back to take our next order. It was very well-paced. The standout handrolls were the spicy scallop and the miso butter cod. Perfect spot for a date night and would be coming back again to fulfill the sushi/handroll craving!

Cozy and ambient interior, great for catching up with friends or date. Impressed with the fish to rice ratio, it felt like 70:30 which really allows you to taste the fish youre eating. Rolls aren't very filling and kind of expensive. I had 4 rolls and was still hungry at the end so take that as you will. Service was kind and efficient.

Easy yummy hand rolls in LIC, came on a Sunday night close to opening and it filled up pretty quickly after we sat down. Service was lovely, even though it seems like mostly 2 people running the floor, they're doing an amazing job. They're quick, very much like omakase at table, it felt like we were getting new handrolls every 2 min. From sitting down to getting the check, 45 min. It's not a huge place but ample seating and space, good sound architecture, not crazy noisy or overstimulating. Low warm ambient lighting. We got a mix of different hand rolls. We each ended up with 4-5 rolls each and felt like we could've honestly stopped at 3, but def wanted to try everything. We felt like the portion sizes were more than fair, they pack it in with fish and we felt very full by the end. Spicy Salmon was lovely, salmon quality was very fresh and the sauce brought out nice flavors. Didn't love the regular Salmon handroll, for some reason the Salmon felt/tasted different, thought it was even smoked salmon at first. The Scallop was nice, good quality, felt like the toppings could've worked better to bring out the sweet butter flavors of scallop more. The Uni was nice, MP (19.50 the day we went) Quality was good but again wish they worked a little more with the details to bring out the uni flavors a bit more. It was getting a bit muted for me. My friend loved the Shrimp tempura and the Wagyu, good balanced flavors and nice textures. We had the Yellowtail last and at that point was so full so wasn't vibing as much but they def pack in the yellowtail, I liked the idea of the rice puffs for texture but not sure if the bite felt fully right ~ Overall quality of the fish, seaweed and rice 8/10 Could work on bringing out some lighter complimentary textures/flavors but could also be my personal preference :))

Miso Butter Cod Handroll
Mike Z.

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.

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.

Toro Mushroom Handroll
Holly S.

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

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

Was walking in the area with my mom and passed by on the way to a bakery, but good thing we turned back. One of the staff members opened the door for us. It's wheelchair accessible. Attentive and helpful staff. Great first impression of the place - garden decor, chandeliers/ambient lighting. Got the Creme Anglaise souffle pancakes - with fresh fruits, very light and fluffy, not too sweet. Ice cream sounded simple on the menu - though just a small scoop, it came with red bean paste, fresh fruits so not bad @$6. Rose latte is rosy of course with crushed petals.

The soufflé pancake was unfortunately quite mushy, without much of a bite to it. The salmon was fresh but the cuts were on the thinner side, so it was decent but nothing extraordinary. The aesthetics look nice and welcoming, but the service was more cold and distanced; would definitely improve the mood if the servers were more social and friendly! Our server forgot one of our drinks, and didn't ask if we wanted our lattes sweetened or not, so we asked for simple syrup to sweeten our drinks ourselves. To our surprise, we were charged for simple syrup as shown on the receipt as a custom item...never have I been to any restaurant or cafes where you had to pay to sweeten your own drink. Unfortunately, this cheapened the experience and made it feel like you're being nickeled and dimed by a pretty restaurant. Not sure if this is the restaurant's/owner's rules or just the server being incompetent/not efficiently trained. We dined at 2pm on September 9th, 2026, as to not get other servers in trouble! Overall, Vert Frais definitely has a lot of potential of being an amazing Japanese brunch spot, so I hope this review can help them reach their truest potential! Thank you for reading and best of luck! (:

The yakitori here is very tasty. We loved the veggie skewers (okra and shishito peppers. The salmon belly is actually just salmon pieces and not the belly party. The enoki beef was little too salty. The squid, beef and scallops were very tasty. The veggies tempura were freshly fried and delicious. Could have been drained a little better. Salmon crispy rice was a hit but the star of the show was the sushi and sashimi deluxe and the blue Toro roll. Amazingly fresh. The passion toro was a little too sweet and fishy for us and had no passion fruit taste. Service here is amazing.

Dashi Okume dates back to…read more1871 in Japan (it was originally established as a seafood wholesaler), but this shop in Greenpoint makes quality Japanese products, especially dashi, more accessible than ever. Dashi Okume sells ... you guessed it ... dashi. They sell several kinds, and you can taste all of them there in the shop before deciding which to take home with you (I tried them all and went home with one bag of vegetable dashi and one bag of sweet shellfish dashi). They also make custom-made dashi. You can choose from around 30 ingredients - dried fish, seaweed, mushrooms, and vegetables. They grind it up and put into individual bags for you. Such a fun idea, but I thought I should try some of their pre-made dashi options before creating mine own. They also sell miso, rice, noodles, rice seasoning, seaweed, tea, and other items. I picked up some Japanese mustard, seaweed, and rice seasoning to take home with my dashi. Beyond being a great shop, they also have a cafe area where they offer a teishoku set meal - you pick your fish, which comes with tea, rice, miso soup, pickles, and sides. They also offer an omakase popup. The shop is beautiful, and the service was very friendly and helpful. I'll certainly return for more shopping but next time I plan to make a meal of it and try their teishoku set.

We came here to make dashi, but found out it was also a…read morerestaurant, a place that does food pop ups, and a shop with lots of Japanese goods including food and home. They had all of their original dashis out to taste, then they had a section where you could make your own. It was great getting to taste them and see what you liked so you could build around that. My boyfriend was the one making the dashi, so I perused the fun goods while he built his base. The dashi does take some time to make, so you can select your blend, then leave for a while and come back later.

The sardines were fried well, but just not as mind-blowing as I thought they'd be judging from reviews. My fav were the Tiger shrimps (sautéed) and the branzino (grilled). You could really taste the char, and they were cooked perfectly. We also got butter garlic linguine with scallops and clams. My husband loved the linguine (and the free bread) the most. The scallops were nice and plump but could have been seared more. The clams were tiny and I wouldn't get them again. The guy behind the fish counter was great. The server however was pretty slow. We waited 10 mins after choosing our fish for just tap water and eventually I just got up to ask the guy behind the counter for water. I also had to go up to the server myself to ask for to-go boxes and the check. And I got up to give the check to them, because they still hadn't taken it after my trip to the bathroom.
