Matoi Sushi - (813) 871-3233

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.

What can I say...I like this place. It's relaxed and not over done so your not paying extra for the "special" decor. The sushi is fresh and I love the rolls. The wait staff is a bit relaxed, but that is one of the things I like about this place to begin with...it's not uptight or super expensive. Sometimes I'm just tired after work and want so good sushi!! This is the perfect place.

Visited Matoi this evening and thought it would be good but it was fantastic!!!! First off Sam the manager greets you at the sushi bar with a smile and a big hello. He's personable and very friendly. He's more than happy to answer any questions you have. The sushi was the best I'd ever had! It was fresh, light and really tasty. I had the spicy tuna, salmon skin roll and some tuna. It's the kind of meal that tastes very good and doesn't leave you stuffed. The spicy tuna was not over powering, just right. Sam put a special touch on the salmon skin to make it extra tasty. The maguro (sp) was the best I've ever had. The atmosphere is warm and friendly. They have tables, booths and plenty of room at the sushi bar. The restaurant is well kept and clean. If you're in the mood for fantastic sushi Matoi is the place to go! Have no doubt Try it . You'll go back. Richard Gray
