best area sushi

by dmrjoy at Citysearch

I have been going to the Matoi for over a decade and I have to say that in my opinion it is the best sushi restuarant around! I have tried many other places when traveling or with friends who claim to know the best place for sushi, but honestly none of them even compare for freshness and quality of food. The service has always been fantastic and everyone is very friendly. Try the lobster roll or the volcano roll, and the fried calamari is excellent, tru thfully I have never had anything that wasn't totally wonderful! ENJOY

I frequent matoi sushi often and I must say that this is the finest sushi restaurant around. What most people dont realize is that most sushi places offer fish that is not fresh without you even knowing it. I have been looking for fresh fish in tampa and found it at matoi. This is the freshest highest quality fish you will find in tampa. The service is fabulous especially sook who is extremely nice and fast service.

THE BEST SUSHI PLACE IN TAMPA

by pica 1230 at Citysearch

I have been going to Matoi for quiet some now.

I think this is the one of the best quality place in town. I think sushi rolls are superb and fresh. Granted, the place can use more fashionable decor, but I have never had a bad meal here. I travel to NYC alot. I have been to some crazy expensive places in NYC but Matoi beats it every time with just a good food. I dare to compare this restaurant to some of the zagat's top japanese restaurants in NYC. Good place to impress your date for your foodie IQ..

Best sushi in Tampa, possibly all of Florida

by Siam I Am at Citysearch

Hands down THE BEST place for sushi in Tampa. I was down in Pompano beach and had sushi at a restaurant down there that my friend said was pretty good. The food there was nowhere near as good as Matoi. I suggest you sit at the sushi bar and have Sam make something for you off of the menu. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. When they have it, the fatty blue fin is extraordinary, as well as the octpus head. I know... sounds weird but it's excellent as well as everything else.

Great Sushi In Tampa

by MerinoE at Citysearch

I come to visit my family in Tampa near Westshore and everytime I am in the area I always go out to eat at Matoi Sushi. Sam, I think that is the owner, is always so friendly to me and now knows me by name. He also knows that I love his Dynamite Roll, which is now my favorite item on the sushi menu. I always order sashami when I am there and every time that I have gone the sushi is always fresh and tastes great. I treat my friends out to a dinner at Matoi when I can, and they have come to love the place as much as I do. I would recommend this place to anybody looking for a quiet place to eat fresh, tasty sushi in Tampa.

• Pros: Very Friendly, Fresh Sushi, and Reasonable Prices
• Cons: I don't live close enough to eat more often : (
