I can not rave about this place enough! It wasnt flashy ...it doesnt have all the fancy specialty rolls, but it does have good Japanese style sushi ( nigiri, sashimi etc) that is super fresh and really well priced. Located inside of Stix food area / mall in Waikiki came by as wanted some sushi. Sat at the sushi bar and noticed they had a variety of choices - nigiri and sashimi as well as beer and even some whisky. Opted for salmon nigiri 5 piece ($14 or so...what?!! Yes please!) and salmon sashimi whidh was similarly priced. Fish was high quality and food came out quick. Staff was attentive, kind and professional. Would most definitely recommend! read more

Sushi Matsuri is one of the restaurants inside the STIX ASIA food hall, serving a daily nigiri special: 6 pieces for 9.95, but only 10 servings per day! I needed something quick and easy to take to the beach, and Sushi Matsuri delivered. My order was packaged neatly, and I had everything I needed to eat it on the beach. SEA URCHIN NIGIRI - 23.95 Yes, a single piece of uni nigiri was nearly $24, but I really wanted it. It was very fresh and sweet, with an umami-filled after taste that I enjoyed. In hindsight, it was absolutely not worth $24. Did I enjoy it? Yes. Would I do it again? Probably. TODAY'S SPECIAL NIGIRI 6 PIECES - 9.95 The pieces change daily, but I subbed the cooked shrimp for another squid nigiri. If I remembered correctly, I got salmon, two squid, tamago, and possibly red snapper and yellowtail. The fish was fresh, and I had no complaint about the sushi rice. This was a fantastic deal. I haven't seen 6 pieces of nigiri for $10 anywhere else! Overall, this is a convenient spot to grab sushi to go if you're planning to eat on the beach. The daily special is especially hard to beat for the price. I could have gotten two orders of it, and it still would've cost less than a single piece of sea urchin nigiri! read more

I've eaten sushi all around Oahu during my visits, but nothing has compared to Sushi Matsuri, my most recent sushi discovery. It's inside the STIX Food Market in Waikiki. I'm not usually a fan of Waikiki, but this place is fire Sushi Matsuri transports you to Japan as soon as you step inside. My husband and I always sit at the sushi bar because we love watching the magic happen. Here's everything we've tried over several visits: Clam Miso Soup: As good and comforting as it sounds. Nigiri Matsuri 10 pcs: An assortment of fish including ahi, salmon, shrimp, salmon roe, sea bream, and more. It also comes with cucumber and tuna rolls. Salmon Roll: Loved it! A great complement Salmon & White Fish Nigiri: Super fresh and delicious. Sashimi 3-Kind Assortment: Sea bream, yellowtail, and tuna. No words for the quality. so good! We always get a side of seaweed salad too. Always on point. The service has been very friendly, and the prices are honestly pretty good for Waikiki, especially considering the quality of the food you get. We'll definitely keep coming back! read more

If you catch the daily special, it's one of the best lunch deals around. $10 for six pieces of nigiri is hard to beat, especially if you're looking for a quick and affordable meal. That said, the fish quality reflects the price. It was decent, but I noticed some sinew in a few pieces, so it wasn't the cleanest or most tender bite. If you're expecting premium sushi, this probably isn't the place. The restaurant itself was clean, service was efficient, and it's a great option when you want a fast lunch without spending much. Overall, it's a solid value for the price, and I'd come back for the daily special when I'm craving sushi on a budget. read more

Located in Stix Asia shopping center! Loved everything about this clean organized restaurant. The chef and service were quick. The sushi was delicious, we stopped by for a quick bite before lunch and it was empty, however quickly started to fill in with crowds. I recommend this sushi restaurant as the prices were reasonable without that high end ambiance, yet the food was amazing and service was great . read more

sushi matsuri is located in stix in waikiki on the ground floor. You'll need to either walk down the stairs or take the elevator down. I think they validate parking if you do a minimum spend of $20. They also have kamaaina discounts too. for lunch they have a $10 nigiri sushi special (up to first 10 orders). You get 6 different nigiri options (kam discount does not apply to this promo). They allowed take out for this. i didnt dine in since i had my pup with me, but there were some tables outside too along the hallway. The sushi itself was pretty average - probably $10 good but not more than that. Service was really friendly, and it took about 5 minutes for them to prepare my order. read more

Great food, service, and ambiance at Sushi Matsuri! With a myriad of great places to dine at STIX ASIA in Waikiki, choosing gets difficult. STIX is an Asian foodhall located on lower level of the Waikiki Shopping Plaza, 2250 Kalakaua Ave between Seaside Ave and Royal Hawaiian Ave. We decided on Sushi Matsuri after checking their menu, which included Lunch Specials. We started with the $9.99 sushi sampler, which is limited per day and lucky for us was still available. I was torn between the Shrimp Tendon and Chirashi bowl. Ordered the tendon which was accompanied with miso soup. I'd order this again. The atmosphere was relaxing and aesthetically pleasing, in spite of being in a foodhall. Parking validated up to 2 hours on weekends and weekdays after 5 pm. Overall, an excellent casual dining experience! read more

Hubby and I came here after having a couples massage upstairs. We each ordered the shrimp tendon lunch special that included miso soup and we ordered edamame along with some drinks. The server was so sweet and made small talk with us. Our food came out and while it looks small it was quite filling. We both enjoyed everything and left very satisfied. The portions and price were great too. read more

Inside the Asian food hall lies Sushi Matsuri and this place does not disappoint. We ordered the chili, garlic, edamame, shrimp tempura, chirashi bowl, and the spicy tuna roll. The chirashi bowl comes with miso soup. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. I was quite impressed since their menu was limited. However, we were very full and happy. Service was fine, ambiance is simple and modern. I recommend visiting if you are in the area. read more

I love this place, for the convenience, price, and quality. Every day they have the limited daily special sushi set, with way lower prices but the same high quality as everyone else. I watch them preparing the sushi together with everyone's. Such a good deal. My favourite is their shrimp and salmon ones, but other ones are just as good. If you are staying in the nearby hotels, this is a good place to get good sushi without breaking your wallet read more

Second time here, and was awesome! True Japan experience. Welcomed in Japanese style and was given a basket for my bag. Food was fantastic both times. The nigiri matsuri combo included 10 pieces of a variety of fish, ebi, and ikura. Tempura was hot and crisp, 5 ebi and asparagus for less than $11, what a deal. I can't say enough to recommend this restaurant! read more

First of all, I want to give a big shout out to Naomi who is our server. She did an amazing job and the food is so delicious that I always keep coming back. I will definitely be back again and they serve beer how it's supposed to be served in an ice cold glass. I definitely would recommend the eel. Thank you so much. read more

Mrs. Picante and I enjoyed a milestone birthday in Waikiki. It was a rare trip without the kids, so we got to try a few places we otherwise wouldn't go with three younguns in tow. On one of our nights there, we felt like sushi, and found this place on our phones. I have to admit, it took us a minute to find the joint; turns out it is in a downstairs food court. While it didn't look like much, this place had legit sushi-- fresh, well-made, and unique offerings. There is something to be said for a place that makes GREAT sushi rice. It's such an underrated thing, but the right rice simply raises the entire bar of whatever fish is on top of it or wrapped inside it. We enjoyed some delicious menu offerings, and a few specialties that were available until they were gone-- the toro we enjoyed was like butter. I didn't want to swallow it, it was so delicious. The server was a sweet older lady, and an older gentleman behind the bar put our meals together faster than I thought he would. Sure, the ambiance has all the feel of a food court below sea level... but somehow, that adds to the Aloha charm of this place. Not sure I need to go back to Oahu, if I'm being honest... wasn't my favorite Hawaiian island, keeping it real. But if you're there for work or pleasure, and want some good sushi that won't absolutely break the bank, give this place a try. read more

I can't even about this food, but first super clean, amazing service, and fast which was great news because I was hungry!!! I had the lunch special sashimi (even though it was 4:30). The sashimi was so beautiful I did not want it to end. Miso soup was the best I ever had and there was some savory egg custard that I have never tried before that I could eat off a flip flop and it would still be remarkable- the flavors!!! My husband had yellow tail sushi and a spicy tuna roll with chicks of tuna. I was lucky enough to get him to give up a piece- magic. I literally could have eaten there everyday while in Waikiki. It is worth it to sit in a sort of basement!!!!! read more

They are located in sticks Asia food hall along with other restaurants. Very friendly staffs and great service. Not a big place, nice and clean. You can grab coupons for several places on the island from coupon books scattered at hotels or stores. And this place is included in the book. We really liked the special of the day, the 6-piece nigiri specials. The special of the day is quantity limited. The portion is not big for most of their dishes, so we ordered several things to share, family style. The only thing I was a little disappointed about was that the egg custard doesn't have any toppings. Overall, it's an enjoyable dining experience. read more

Fantastic little sushi spot I. The downstairs Asian food market! They have a special soy sauce that they import from Japan. I wanna it's from Okinawa but I could be wrong. It's a sweeter version of soy sauce. But it goes perfectly with their sushi. Today we opted for the #3 nigiri plate with an extra spicy scallop hand roll. Along with a garlic edamame and hamachi carpaccio for the table. Delicious! It's been a whole year since we've been here. Consistent great sushi, fresh! Can't wait to get back here again. I wish they would sell the soy sauce... read more

Found this little hidden gem in STIX Asia in the Waikīkī shopping plaza, lower floor. Considering this spot is in Waikiki, the price of the food for the quality and quantity is reasonable. I personally really enjoyed the takowasa, the squid with mentaiko, and the Matsuri bowl (chirashi). They also offered the 300ml bottle of Dassai sake (also decently reasonably priced considering the location) which I highly recommend to be paired with the food. We didn't order a lot of items as this was our first stop for our "Waikīkī adventure date-night" where we checkout multiple restaurants in the area. Parking is located in the building and is validated for 2hrs (huge plus and convenient). Recommend going early for dinner as it can get crowded. read more

Nice place to get your sushi fix! This restaurant is located in Stix Asia, which is a food hall with various food options that's on the basement level of Waikiki Shopping Plaza. You can enter on Seaside Ave or Kalakaua, and you just look for the restaurant with the green noren at the entrance. I came on a Saturday night and was able to be seated promptly. Service was super attentive, and my food came out really quickly as well! I got the Matsuri bowl and the tofu salad. The bowl had an assortment of super fresh sashimi; the portion size was on the smaller size for the price, but it's to be expected since you're in Waiks. Tofu salad was not bad! Overall I thought this was a really nice place to get sushi if you're particularly craving it. read more

We were instantly seated on a Saturday night. The establishment is located in Stix Asia - Waikiki across Royal Hawaiian Center. We ordered the sets which came with miso soup. I asked for extra sweet sauce on my shrimp tempura. They were so considerate because they also gave me extra sauce on the side. I didn't see it at first but the bowl also came with tempura string beans which was hidden underneath five pieces of tempura lol. I love that! Also ordered the unagi bowl. For some reason we got tiny bones in the unagi. But the bones did go away after chewing. I didn't think that the unagi had bones when served. But it was all good and we were very satisfied. Mood: full Satisfied? Definitely come again. read more

When we walked into Sushi Matsuri it kinda looks like a fast food restaurant. But that is deceiving. We had some of the best sushi that we've had on the trip. Service was quick and polite. We tried quite a few different things and were extremely happy with what we had received. For the plain settings of the restaurant, the food was five star. I just wish we had had more time to check out more of their offerings. read more

Usually I am at Udon Yama my GoTo after beach but today I decided to indulge - I was so happy that the Nigiri was so oishi! The fish was fresh, rice was soft and of excellent quality, matcha tea so good, miso soup completed the meal - I ordered two of the special nigiri plates - loved that the rice was just right and NOT a big block- was so satisfying and so worth it!!!! Reasonable prices especially for Waikiki! read more

Came here on a Monday night, we were seated instantly. The place is clean and organized, but there's nothing special about it. Our waiter was this older guy with glasses, he was a little pushy and slammed the menus down after we were done ordering. My cousin wanted cooked salmon, waiter waved me off saying he would do that but the salmon came out half raw and only cooked on top. It was so tough that my cousin spat out two of the three. The fish in my chirashi bowl was decent but our portions were all too small, we were all still hungry after and ended up going to two different spots in the area to get full. I wouldn't recommend coming here at all. read more

Sushi Matsuri is one of the small restaurants in a small food court along Kalakaua- in the same building as Stix, Sephora and Victoria's Secret. The restaurant is located in the lower level, below ground floor so you have to take the stairs down. I was staying at the Royal Hawaiian Resort next door so it took me 5 minutes to walk here : ) I had dinner here and ordered the salmon nigiri trio, salmon skin salad and a bowl of the miso soup. The staff sat me within 5 minutes - it wasn't busy on a Sunday evening. Their menu is straightforward. This is not an all-Japanese restaurant so do not expect any izakaya dishes. It is called Sushi Matsuri for a reason. Everything was served in a timely fashion and everything was delicious! The salmon skin was crispy and tasty with a decent amount of dressing. The salmon nigiri was fresh and the miso soup hot. The staff was also prompt is removing my empty dishes and even gave me an extra napkin! They refilled my iced water and I never felt rushed. Quick, easy and delicious! Hits the spot. read more

Staycay in Waiks so try to find different places to go that are also child friendly. Hit up Stix since there is variety. Since we had ramen the night before, I didn't want noodles. They were very nice and also have a kama'aina special...always a plus. Hubs got the sushi special which was 6 pieces assorted nigiri for like $10. Can't beat that. He said was good. Tamago was HUUUUUGE. Baby at most of it. Also got baby miso soup...she loves her miso soup! Ordered the charshu with avo. Pretty good. 1st piece not as tender, but the rest were. Baby and hubs liked it. Felt like I needed greens, so got the Tofu Avo salad. Always Avo since baby loves it. She also grinded the tofu. Not a fan of the greens. Tempura assortments. Shrimps a little smaller than thought, but otherwise all cooked well. Baby ate the carrot and potato and imitation crab. She was pretty happy after the meal. Hubs and I were content also. Easy place and not bad foods...I'd go back. read more

Sushi Matsuri's Rainbow Roll is one of those sushi dishes that just hits right, combining everything I love in a roll. The presentation alone is stunning; each slice is topped with thick, colorful layers of tuna, shrimp, salmon, and yellowtail, like a little seafood rainbow. You can tell just by looking at it that the fish is top-notch, super fresh, and sliced with care. The flavor combination is incredible. The tuna is rich and velvety, with that buttery texture that just melts as soon as it hits your tongue. The shrimp adds a sweet, almost briny note that's balanced perfectly by the mild, clean taste of the yellowtail. And the salmon--wow. It's soft and silky, and the way it pairs with the creamy avocado inside the roll is so satisfying. Each fish brings its own thing to the table, and they're all different, but somehow they work together to make each bite really pop. Inside the roll, you've got perfectly ripe avocado and a crisp bite from the cucumber. The avocado adds a smooth, almost buttery layer that wraps the flavors together, while the cucumber is that refreshing crunch you need to keep everything balanced. Every bite has this amazing texture mix--soft, creamy, and crunchy. It's just an overall standout roll. Nothing's overdone; the freshness of the fish and the simple ingredients speak for themselves. It's like Sushi Matsuri's way of letting the quality shine, and it definitely does. read more
