The service here made my day today. I had a huge migraine and was super hungry, and didn’t have much time before having to catch the LIRR but somehow the gentleman who took my order and his staff made my meal in less than 10 minutes and were very friendly. The food was so tasty, good portions and great value. I look forward to returning to dine in.
I recently stopped by Matsuri, a cozy Japanese restaurant located in Woodside, New York, for a quick bite, and I was thoroughly impressed. I started with two appetizers. First, the pan-fried pork gyoza, which was executed to perfection. The dumplings had the ideal balance of a crispy exterior and a soft, meaty filling. The dipping sauce complemented the dish nicely, adding just the right amount of flavor. Next, I tried the Chasu pork buns. These fluffy buns were filled with succulent pork belly, scallions, cucumbers, and Chasu sauce. Every bite was packed with flavor, with the freshness of the vegetables balancing out the richness of the pork. If you’re ever in the neighborhood and looking for a satisfying bite to eat, Matsuri is a must-visit. Whether you’re hopping off the 7 train on 61st or LIRR Woodside stop, this spot is a perfect place to indulge in some authentic Japanese appetizers that won’t disappoint.
Great gluten free options. Highly recommend to celiacs and gluten intolerants
Ordered Party Platter special rolls. So pretty, great value! 7 unique rolls, 8 pieces each roll. Fresh fish, expertly made. Will return again to order different items.
Excellent restaurant, friendly and quick staff, good food and really great prices for the quality. The miso soup was fantastic as well but I didn't get a picture. The sushi rice was a little too seasoned for my tastes but otherwise 0 complaints, and I would hands down recommend
Little place in Woodside, Queens. Surprisingly good! The rolls were delicious.
I’m new to the neighborhood and have already been here three times: two takeouts and one dine-in. I usually get the Salmon or Steak Bento Box for 14, and the portions are generous. It honestly feels like stepping back into a pre-COVID time when meals were still affordable. The bento comes with a California roll, two imitation scallops as a side, a large slice of grilled salmon or steak, and a mix of grilled vegetables underneath. You also get soup and salad. Everything tastes great, and at this price, I have no complaints. For dine-in, the pricing is just as reasonable. I ordered the Tricolor Sashimi for 22, which came with nine fresh, high-quality pieces. The service was quick and flexible, and the servers were attentive. I left feeling satisfied and happy to pay the tip and the bill.
Feels a lot like I'm in Tokyo here. Service was fast, sushi was excellent & I tried Ramune for the first time. It was not too busy since it was toward dinner and a rainy day. It felt like an authentic Japanese atmosphere & the waiter was friendly. If I have another opportunity to eat here I will invite friends. They gave me a lot more Sushi then I expected for the price.
