    For our large party of eight they gave us a quiet table in the upstairs dining room. It was like our own private parties so that's why the ambiance scores so well. But the food! We had a range of sushi's appetizers it was all delicious and beautifully presented. What a great evening.

    We sat a table for over 30 minutes and no one ever came to take our order. While others around us received food and beverages, we were ignored.

    This was my first time going here. I was going to meet up with some friends and we all wanted asian cuisine. It’s hard finding a good restaurant with good food and service. I’m not from Maryland so I was a little hesitant not knowing if I would like this restaurant. The servers were really nice. The food was AMAZING. Would 100% go back.

    Great to see Matsuri open again after their reconstruction. They seem very happy to welcome guests again. We were warmly welcomed, and enjoyed an excellent selection of appetizers and sushi. I especially recommend their Dragon roll and volcano roll.

    The restaurant was not even open. It was closed for renovations. How does open table allow and even confirm my reservation for a restaurant that has NOT been open for 1.5 months. TERRIBLE

    We ate ramen and sushi, and both were very good! There were so many choices on the menu we wanted to try that we will definitely be back!
