Matsuri Restaurant - Japanese restaurant in Pasadena - 1065 E Green St, USA

Nice cosy family-owned Japanese spot with many delicious offerings! Their bentos and sushi are top notch in quality and their staff is all Japanese which adds to the authentic atmosphere. Finally the organic matcha hot tea is the best I've had in a restaurant which pairs nicely with the food.

I loved the Sushi Suped Deluxe and the rest of our plates were fantastic as well. The restaurant was very accommodating of our large group.

Cute little neighborhood sushi spot. Had an enjoyable experience here. It's a little unassuming sushi restaurant on the corner of Green St. Atphomshere had a traditional Japanese feel. Sashimi was fresh! Price is comparable to other sushi places in Pasadena. Food wise, it's more fresh tasting and not as pretententious as some other spots in Pasadena.

High-quality lunch bento box coming with crispy tempura, grilled fish, tuna sashimi, salad. Sushi ordered separately also came in high standard at this price point. The sushi rice is a little warm, which IMO is how high-quality sushi should be presented. Glad they did it this way. Last but not the least, the service is great and delightful.

Love the low key authentic atmosphere of this restaurant. Have always had good service here. Sushi is good and food is consistent. Love the tempura and rainbow roll. Can't wait to come again and would recommend.

The best sushi experience in Pasadena currently. Prices are reasonable, and the fish is top quality. They also are one of the ONLY places that serve, on menu, a vegetarian Udon. It is FANTASTIC. 100% recommend, and will be back likely this week again. I will always come back...

Totally disapointed. Ordered some nigiri pieces with california rolls. Some of the fish cuts were not fresh, they were soft. The soy sauce tasted way salty and strange. At the end 31$ for a dinner I better had avoided. Not recommended.

Matsuri has been a family favorite for years - a quality family-owned restaurant. The owners are from Japan, if that’s a useful heuristic for you. Their food is always delicious, and I find their tempura in particular, is wonderfully crispy and light. We ordered the Matsuri boat, and the variety (it includes teriyaki chicken, Tonkatsu, tempura, and sushi) as well as portions are generous. I’ve also thoroughly enjoyed their homemade croquettes as well. The service is attentive, warm and polite, which explains why there are so many regulars. I always look forward to visiting, and can’t wait to go again.
