    I love sushi. It's often either poor quality or too pricey, so when I find a good sushi place priced well, it's a winner. That's exactly what Matsuri is. A neighborhood sushi spot with a comfortable atmosphere and good food and service. I particularly like the variety you can get here that includes non-sushi items that are thoroughly Japanese. If you're in the area look them up. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

    The inside is nicely set up with, both a bar and a seating area. If you sit at the bar you can watch your sushi being made while the game is on. Our food came out extremely quick - great service.

    Shrimp Tempura
    Matt M.

    Matsuri's is a good place for a sit down lunch /dinner for the family. We celebrated a birthday here and was happy with the service and food. I ordered the Shrimp Tempura dinner. It came with a cup of Miso soup and a salad. I had plenty of Shrimp and vegetable tempura enough to take home and we shared an M&M roll. The family all got Bento boxes and rolls and they were all satisfied. The place is nice with a sushi bar in a central place of the restaurant and on the wall, it has a TV. The Servers are friendly and attentive. The food came pretty quick and it was nice and hot. The food was moderately priced but worth it.

    *** Vegetarian Review *** A 3-star vegetarian review isn't unusual for a Japanese restaurant. Not a lot of options so the available options better jump off the plate. There are a few dishes that could make you come here, so let's get into it. Futo Maki ($8.95, Grade B-) Oshinko (lightly pickled vegetables), kanpyo (dried gourd shavings), kappa (cucumber), inari (sweet tofu skin), tamago (egg), red ginger, and sesame seed. I didn't like the carrot at all - had an extremely overpowering flavor and tone. But after I removed those from the rolls, I did enjoy this. It paired very well with the agedashi (made vegetarian) appetizer I ordered as my main meal. Agedashi ($5.95, Grade A+) Deep fried tofu without the bonito flakes. Also requested no seaweed and the dipping sauce on the sauce. The way they prepare the tofu is really great. Probably a firm tofu and lightly battered and fried, not greasy. Comes with 6 square pieces. As noted above, eating the futo maki together was a great compliment. You get the texture from the fried tofu with the pickled tones of the futo roll. Recommend doing this if you come here. Inari Nigiri ($5.95, Grade D) - Sweet tofu wrap with sushi rice. This is my go-to for Japanese restaurants because it usually fills me up when there are not a lot of options. This unfortunately was not good at all. The tofu pouch wasn't remotely sweet and it was actually leathery and tough. The sushi rice was hard so I basically removed it and used the tofu pouch with my fried tofu from the agedashi. Asian fries ($8.95, Grade A+) Fried taro, sweet potato served with garlic aioli sauce. Lightly battered and .... I'll just say probably good for you! Let's call these a healthy snack. Bento Box - both lunch and dinner. Lunch is 11:30a-2p. You can choose between a 2 or 3 item bento. Dinner is 4:30p-close and you need to choose 3 items. On a different trip, I ordered the veggie tempura, veggie gyoza, and wakame dinner bento box. - Veggie tempura. I like the veggie tempura better at Yo Sushi. This is a little heavier on the oily side. That said, I ate it all, but i wouldn't order this separately as an appetizer. - Veggie gyoza. I love the fact they have this as an option. I can't tell if it is house made, but it was heavy on the salt. Sidenote - since it's rare I get to have a veggie gyoza, on a separate trip, I ordered it again and the saltiness level was the same. - Wakame. The portion sizes in the bento box is very generous. This actually helped balance the other items in my bento. Bottom line. Clean environment. They keep the front door open so fresh air is constantly being introduced. No strong fish smells. Staff is super friendly and attentive. They have vegetarian options so you're not just stuck with a boring cucumber roll. Sidenote - took my Japanese relatives that were visiting from out of town here for dinner. They ordered the mackerel and said "this was the best mackerel I've ever had."

    Wow! It's been at least a decade, probably a decade and a half, since I've been here, but I remember back when they opened! This spot was my and my mom's favorite for sushi. Back in the day, she and I could pack away $100 worth of sushi just the two of us, and that was probably 25 years ago! Yes, Matsuri has been around that long! This past week, she and I meet for dinner, along with my husband. My mom ordered her go-tos: ika sansai (squid salad) and a Lion King. When I was a kid, I thought this restaurant invented the Lion King lol! It's always been a good roll. I don't remember the names of the two rolls I got... Maybe Lily Belle and Tsunami? That sounds about right. The Lily Belle was similar to a 49er roll, and I really enjoyed it. The Tsunami was a spicy roll and it was just ok. My husband chose a bento box and ate the whole thing. We were pleased with our meal. However, maybe my palate has matured since I was a teenager, but overall I thought the sushi was just "fine." I'd probably have to return and give some other rolls a try. Their menu is extensive, so I wish they had pictures to accompany it. I feel like sushi is such a visual art from, and people usually know what they like from how it looks, rather than a general written description.

    Happy customer!

    The food is amazing here. Whether you're a seafood person or somebody who just wants a dish with rice like chicken teriyaki it is the place to be. The service is on point and quick. Also if you can make it early 12:00 to 2:00 p.m. you can get lunch before a more discounted price. The bento boxes are very popular. But when I come here I like to spoil myself. Even for a busy lunch hour the ambience is still nice and peaceful. I love seeing chef. He always knows what to make me and he knows what I like. I always sit at the sushi bar.

    I'm not sure why I don't come here more often but today was a good day to stop by. As always the wait to be seated was not long at all and the service is excellent. The food is quality as usual.

    This place hits the spot! The sushi is fresh and always on point. Also the truffle salmon belly is melt in your mouth. Service is always good even when they are busy.

    Always a great time at Matsuris. Rolls are always good and a great place to drink some beers and watch Thursday night football

    ***** Always great, I love the freshness of the food. I did order the bento box for me, salmon and beef teriyaki and sesame chicken, everything was excellent, service was amazing too. Strongly recommended!

    Spicy tuna handrolls and a few specialty rolls, with some excellent saki and beer options!

    Ask the Community - Matsuri

    To the Owners: It was said on a few social media sites that you may have closed permanently, is this true?

    No, that is not true. We have just closed for the holidays, and reopen on Jan 4th.

    Is there indoor dining now?

    Yes, Matsuri opens for dinning

    Do they have their liquor license?

    Yes we do. We also offer 25% off on beer, wine and sake until june 17th

    How clean is this restaurant (including restrooms)? Do they use the same utensils on the sushi as they do in the cooked food?

    I'm sure they don't mix utensils since the food is cooked in the kitchen and not at the sushi bar. Bathrooms were clean when I went!

    Thank you so much. Do you know of any restaurant around the area?

    What kind?

    Does this restaurant have all you can eat sushi? If not doesn't anyone of a place that is?

    No, not all you can eat. There aren't any places in Vallejo that have all you can eat.

    Update: This is a…read morecasual eatery offering sushi rolls, bento box, ramen, spam musubi, mostly sushi in the menu. They offer dine in, to-go, delivery. They accept cash and card. Plenty of parking located at Gateway Plaza. I support local businesses, however, I was disappointed with the recent visit regarding the taste of the food. Presentation is good, customer service is ok. Tip will be asked at the screen upon ordering and payment but optional. The Lion King in my opinion is pricey and the price is not worth it. It's like a California roll with too much stuff on top that is salty i mean too salty. I had this roll long time ago and it does not taste like this. I recommend the bento box. Plenty of items, delicious, cost almost the same as Lion King. The bento box is worth ordering though. No free water, we purchased our drink outside after eating. $35 for the two orders.

Volcano roll is basically a CA roll with chopped scallop on top in a spicy mayo with tobiko and scallion. The fragrance seems like it's then torched for a smoky finish. Not bad at all but today the rice was a little mushy like it hadn't been rinsed enough before cooking or just plain overcooked. Was a little odd texture. The Pink Lady was also really yummy but again rice texture was a bit off. Tempura shrimp with cucumber and avocado inside covered in shredded surimi (imitation crab) and a spicy mayo drizzle. Again not too bad. Gotta say the PORTIONS ARE HUGE imo. YMMV Overall I'd say more than acceptable, rather good apart from the rice today. Could be due to languishing in delivery boxes in transit. So I'm looking forward to returning to dine in and get a look around n see if fresh-from-the-chef rice is better. Joe-Bob says check it out

    *** Vegetarian Review ***…read more Wasn't actually in the mood for ramen, but I was with some people that definitely were. I got out voted and thank goodness for majority rule because I stumbled upon a great dish if ramen isn't your thing. Btw - their vegetarian ramen is hella good. Big portions and a top notch broth! Agedashi Tofu, no bonito flakes. Comes with 8 tofu slices. And be warned, it's super hot so be careful. Don't burn your mouth. Comes with a dipping sauce, but ask for a teriyaki sauce.

The dining room is modern, clean, and inviting, with high ceilings and plenty of seating. While I was initially surprised by the wait since I was the only customer, the restaurant quickly filled with diners and takeout orders, making it obvious this place has built a loyal following. I ordered the new Wonton Ramen Soup, spicy and an order of lumpia. As a ramen fan, I can honestly say the broth was outstanding, rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The generous portion was loaded with fresh bok choy, perfectly cooked egg, green onions, and large wontons, creating a delicious fusion of classic wonton soup and ramen with a Tonkotsu broth. I also appreciated the oversized ladle-style soup spoon, which made it easy to enjoy every sip of that incredible broth and every bite of the fresh ingredients. The lumpia was crispy and good, but fairly standard. My only disappointment was the packaged sweet and sour sauce. A house-made dipping sauce would have paired much better with the quality of the food. The restaurant itself was very clean, but I'd recommend moving the bussing cart with used bowls, plates, and trash to the back of the kitchen. It's a small detail, but keeping it out of guests' view would make the dining room feel even more polished and inviting. Overall, Ramon 101 was good. Great broth, fresh ingredients, generous portions, make this a place I'll definitely return to. It's easy to see why the locals keep coming back.
