My go to sushi spot in Vallejo. Quality sushi and quick service. Can get very busy during dinner service but I always think it's worth the wait. They also have bar service so that's an option if you don't want to wait for a table. Servers are always very friendly and attentive. read more

Matsuri - Japanese Near Me - Vallejo, California

I came here for lunch today at 1:30 pm, the waitress ignored me when I came in. The place was almost empty. The person behind the bar told me to sit at a table. I ordered a 2 piece bento box, oysters katsu, normally 5-6 pieces, today 2 pieces. Sesame chicken was ok. At 2:15 pm the cook said that they were closed and he wanted to go home. I told him that I would be done in 5 minutes, he just glared at me. I asked if he would like me to take it to go, he said yes and brought me a to go box. I packed it up and left. I felt like I was really disturbing them just by coming in for lunch. I have been going here for almost 20 years and use to really enjoy the place. But now I just feel like a nuisance coming in here. I won't be going back. read more

Matsuri - Sushi Rolls - Japanese Near Me - Vallejo, California

I went here for early dinner with my 2 friends. I enjoyed the bento box with salmon and rice with soup and California rolls. It was very hearty and delicious. Service was fast and friendly. It does get pretty busy so I like to come pretty early. Nice and quiet and a great find!! read more

We dined on a Thursday night for 2 people. Place was half empty when we were seated. Then a runner gave us our table setting. The server took our order and we got 3 rolls. To our surprise, someone else brought our order. We never got a check-in with on our order again. So we had to flag anyone that would actually give any eye contact. We enjoyed the matsuri roll that we wanted another other. So, the same person (male) came to our table after we got his attention and asked him to let our server know we would like another roll. My tea by the way was never topped off. We were offered for some more water at least by the runner. We waited another 10 minutes and I had a suspicion our last roll order was not coming. We also asked for more wasabi and ginger and our soy sauce bottle was now empty. My boyfriend finally got up to the reception counter and asked for our order. Voila, we were right. The order was never placed for our last roll. My boyfriend just paid the bill and we left. The gentleman that was to pass on our order literally admitted "Oh, I forgot". The service was the worst from the many times we dined at Matsuri. Server never checked on us after our first interaction. It's too bad, we like the food here. But any server should at least check on their station once if not twice. Disappointing. read more

When we walked in the restaurant we thought it was going to be an experience. It wasn't, my time here was not great, not bad either but I was honestly disappointed with the quality of their food. I ordered an Aji Nigiri and it broke as soon as I touched it (no photo because it was eaten quickly) the addition of grated ginger on top did add to the taste but the fish was fresh enough out of the fridge. Meaning quality was good but not excellent. Service was nice but does not show up too much to refill water, especially on a hot summer day here in Vallejo. The place was nice though, I like the design of the place. I saw a flaming sushi roll being served. Anyways, try it if you like it is still a decent place to grab sushi. Also only Credit and Debit card, so don't go in with cash. read more

Decided to take my father here for Father's Day, 2023. We were early so we got the whole place for ourselves for a while. We ordered and the food was delicious. Best sushi and ambience by far in my opinion ( and my daughter's favorite cuisine and restaurant) here in Vallejo. Service was ok, it got busy with patrons very quick. We'll be back! ありがとうございます read more

We've been eating dinner here for over 8 years and love this restaurant so much!! We've tried other local sushi restaurants, but keep going back to Matsuri's in Vallejo. They are closed on Mondays FYI so plan around that. We ALWAYS order the Pink Lady roll, and also love the Cinco de Mayo, Dynamite, and Flaming Dragon. Everything on their menu is delicious! Great selection of Sake too. We love a large hot sake with our rolls. Give them a taste! read more

Matsuri - Cinco de mayo, pink lady, and dynamite rolls - so good! - Japanese Near Me - Vallejo, California

Love going to Matsuri's. It is the only place in town that I will go to get sushi. I had the clam miso soup, which the chef recommended I add lemon to. I also had the green monster. Service was top notch. The servers went above and beyond checking on me to see if I needed anything and making sure I was happy. read more

I always forget about this place. It's in the small plaza across from Seafood City. Service was good. Food was good. Felt clean enough. Price is fine. It's nothing fancy or mind-blowing. It's All around above decent, experience. I have been going to Yo Sushi in Glen Cove for years. And while Yo's and Matsuri are comprable (service, cleanliness, price, menu), Matsuri might win in quality. read more

Such a very busy place....try to time your visit here bec its always jampacked during dinner esp on weekends. If you want a melt in your mouth sashimi- this is the place! The area is big but they limit the space that is why yiu can hear the convo on the next table lol. I think they have to add more servers, they are not able to attend to the customer's needs, but in fairness to them they have a quick turnaround on our orders. For sushi, kamatchi hama & sashimi....this is the place! read more

As a foodie and very familiar with Japanese food; I would recommend Matsuri and count this as my local go to for my cravings! Coming from Oakland with so many options it's tough to cheat on my fav haunts! ;) Logistics forced me to expand my horizons. Dinner salads are large and can be a great split- Gyozas are a 10; perfect balance of steam and crisped with a light dough; flavorful filling and side sauce! Delish! My roll was great and fish was fresh. When I requested for less rice in my roll, they said no problem! ** Matsuri has a super creative menu with lots of options to please everyone. read more

Best sushi in town and in the area! On good days it's Amazing! If it's too busy, I'd come back another day that's less busy, it's worth it! I recommend the Flaming Dragon if you want a recommendation for a solid roll! read more

Matsuri - Best Sushi Chef in Vallejo! - Japanese Near Me - Vallejo, California

The place is nice and big.... but the food is not it. The rice has too much vinegar. I ordered ONE sushi roll and it took them an HOUR.

I honestly thought I had done a review on Matsuri before. Me and my family have been coming here for years even back when it was Osaka. The place is always lively and clean. The staff is always friendly and helpful. And the fish always tastes fresh. We like lots of the rolls from the pink lady to the lion king to the hand rolls. I love the Bulgogi beef and my daughter likes the Yakisoba. Best sushi restaurant in town. read more

We used to eat here constantly when they had a Benicia location. That has now closed so we thought we'd try their Vallejo restaurant. When we arrived discovered a note on the door, credit card only, no cash. I don't like to use credit cards much, try and pay with cash as much as possible. But, no, asked the waitress if they'd take cash and she shook her head, nope. I always thought U.S. currency was an acceptable medium of exchange. Food may be good but not sure, never had a chance to try it since we were paying with real money. read more

Omg Best sushi !! THE GOTO SUSHI place in Vallejo! I always take friends, loves here! read more

We had a small family gathering the other day and everyone wanted Japanese food. After trying most of the Japanese food in vallejo and only finding places that were par, we decided to give this place a shot. We ordered close to $110 worth of food. 5 specialty rolls, shrimp yaki soba, combo bento box, sesame chicken and some gyoza. I want to break it all down but everything was great, clean fresh food with awesome flavors. Nothing more to say! The service was excellent and they even gave us a free bottle of wine. This is my new place and I'm sure I'll become a regular here. read more

Matsuri - Tsunami roll (nice heat yet well balanced), napa roll, and a pink lady. Well executed! - Japanese Near Me - Vallejo, California

Everything that was ordered was tasty. The service was good, the restaurant was in a strip mall but ample parking and no issues with safety.

My boyfriend took me here and I loved the sashimi. Great selection. Clean restaurant and great servers. Everything tasted fresh and reasonable prices read more

Food was delicious! Service was awesome and the ambiance was great. Family friendly and all the customers were happy.

This is my family's go-to sushi spot when I am in town. I've grown up going to this spot and it's my parents' favorite. There are some things that are undeniable- they have the best bento boxes (the Saba shioyaki and chicken teriyaki are particular tasty) and the Udon is executed deliciously. The flavors are spot on! I usually get the 3 combo bento- salmon shioyaki, chicken teriyaki and sake sashimi- it comes with miso soup, salad and rice. The sushi is hit or miss with me and the prices are pretty high (for Vallejo) and rival the usual Oakland/Walnut Creek prices. There are a few that I've enjoyed like the unagi hamachi roll, pink lady, bay roll but there are some that don't quite live up to what it's costing. I may have to try more items- I'm sure I'll forever be a Matsuri girl. read more

We always enjoy Matsuri. The food is great, the service is great also. Nice portions also. We've been going there for decades.

Best sushi in Vallejo I've eaten in a couple times and mostly ordered out. Service is quick. I like that there's plenty of variety and the quality is good. It's a little bit more pricey than other sushi places in Vallejo, but not so much so and I'd rather pay for the quality. read more

The food was absolutely delicious. The service was expediant. Ambiance was good. We have found a new Japanese food restaurant to go to and enjoy Sushi, Sashimi, and Yakisoba. read more

I had a hankering for some sashimi for lunch and was in the neighborhood. I ordered the Chisami dish with just rice. Generous cut. All vey fresh and delicious. My preference for dessert at a Sushi Restaurant is a salmon skin hand roll. There was very good. Nice and crispy skin with a nice sweet sauce on it. I've been going to 2 other Japanese places for a while. I think I need to just come here, so much better. I found service to be friendly and efficient. I forgot to take a picture. read more

Really great fish, which makes all the dishes delicious. My favorite things to order are the nigiri and super lion king roll. Staff are friendly and attentive! Never miss a week of having lunch here. read more

Growing up, our family Friday night dinners out in Vallejo consisted of Chinese food, Sizzler or Smorgasbord! The latter two are no longer around - that's how old I am. haha So I really wasn't exposed to Japanese food or sushi, until I was an adult. And as I'm writing this, I'm realizing that Japanese food is probably one of my favorites, if not my most favorite. Anyways, I've been going to Matsuri's forever. I even used to go to the one in Benicia. Ended up eating up here recently and realized I've never properly given it a review. Here's what we had: Bento box with salmon, tempura and california roll - good choices - 5/5 Chicken karage - best in Vallejo - 5/5 Poke salad - large portion, lots of tuna - 5/5 We've had other rolls over the years and of course, I'm blanking out on their names, but they've been consistently good. Next time I dine there, I'll update this review with my favorite rolls! read more

It's been a while since I have been here and they have really improved their food and service. My brother ordered the sushi bento box with chicken teriyaki and beef bulgogi, the kids ordered chicken katsu, and my brother's girlfriend and I shared 4 sushi rolls- warriors, bay bridge, spicy A's roll, and crab shark. Everything was delicious! My favorites were the spicy A's and crab shark. My brother enjoyed his bento box and the kids loved their katsu. The portions were also generous. My new local go to sushi spot! read more

Have forgotten that this is still open. Went for early lunch and as time progressed people started coming in and so were the take out and delivery orders. We ordered Sakekawa (salmon skin, yamagoba, bonito flake, tobiko, sesame seeds, cucumber, scallions), Red devil (shrimp tempura, snow crab, avocado, seared tuna, special sauce), Nabeyaki udon soup. All were very good. Will definitely be back. Ambiance? Clean and simple. read more

The food is outstanding, great place best in the city by far but the service is rather awful. I feel bad for the owner seeing as it's a rather common complaint among patrons from getting a check to organized seating the service is in dire need of improvement. Having waited 30min was told to sit at the bar, so I did. I was then asked to leave the bar and told my name would go onto a list. Of course, that list was not known to me before waiting for 30min or was it any consideration to the staff whom did not seem to care very much. None the less will return, just hope they can work on service, organization, and realistically consideration for their customers. read more

Food is good quality and service is top notch. Always love getting the Chirashi Bowl!

do your self a favor and go somewhere else. we didnt get served until 30 mins, they kinda forgot about us. it wasn't that busy, a thursday at 6pm and no waitlist or big rush. there were flies flying in my face and food, it was just unpleasant. food was okay not the worst but honestly i should've just ate somewhere else. read more

The best Japanese east of Oakland/Berkeley. Way better than any Japanese down here in Contra Costa County. I'm hard to please and I was shocked by how good it was the first time I went here. Well worth the drive and the bridge fare. read more
