Matsuri Restaurant - Japanese restaurant in Baltimore - 1105 S Charles St, USA

Recommended by a friend this Baltimore gem earned the rare 10/10. All in Food, Service, Atmosphere. Ordered Chicken Katsu Curry, Teriyaki Steak, Stir Fry Udon, Oriole Roll. All packed with flavor, that not many can achieve. Distinct yet unique taste. Seated quickly and served with care and a smile on a random Thursday. The Ribeye Teriyaki Steak truly is a must try. Couldn’t take a picture of any other food because it was quickly eaten.

Excellent service. All the food we ordered came out disappointing and low quality. I don’t recommend the sushi/ food here.

I was in Baltimore and looking for a place to eat. Saw this restaurant and just walked it. I would say it was one of the greatest decisions I made on that day! They know what they are doing and I am definitely going back there. If you like sashimi and sushi and happen to be in Baltimore, look no further and try this place!

Always my favorite place to go have Sushi when I am in Baltimore. Great and friendly service. Good and fresh fish. Owner came to greet you and asked you how is everything. What else could you ask for?

I had a good experience in this restaurant. The service was excellent and helpful. All the food is fresh. I had the dumpling ramen soup and it was delicious. My husband had the seafood ramen and was also great. The shrimp shumai was also delicious. The only reason I am giving 4 stars is due to the small space. They only have few tables. Other than that this place is great.

The restaurant served us plastic wrapped lobster rolls. We went there for restaurant week and ordered the lobster roll (which they charged $3 extra) and we kept noticing non-chewable pieces inside the roll. We thought it was the shell at first, but after taking it home, we realized that the “shell” was actually a plastic wrap around the lobster meat and subsequently deep fried in tempura batter. This is a huge health risk and we were lucky to not have ingested the plastics. This is very unacceptable!!

Seafood Fried Rice was awesome. World Cup roll was custom requested and owner suggested. Tuna and avocado wrapped around a salmon. And the altered the Rocky Mountain Roll for us because we wanted lump crab without the deep fry. Great service.

Was hoping to find a good teriyaki & Japanese food spot in Baltimore. This was not it, and I was surprised at the high ratings online. The sashimi was pretty poor quality (some pieces slimy, fishy), and the soba noodles needed a lot more sauce. Sushi rolls were okay, but it did not seem like the food was freshly prepared. Best to stick to Ellicott City for any sort of Asian cuisine.
