I recently discovered this place in LIC and absolutely love it! Definitely one of the best hand rolls in the area. The fish is all fresh, and the hand rolls are good portion size. I also like that they are willing to accommodate requests for less rice, and there are quite a few add-on options. Highly recommend for a date night or even a quick meal!

Absolutely incredible experience! From the moment we walked in, the service was warm and welcoming. The chefs were skilled, friendly, and clearly passionate about their craft. Each handroll was made fresh to order, and the quality of the fish was top-tier—so fresh it practically melted in my mouth. I highly recommend the Miso Butter Cod—unreal flavor and perfect texture. The crispy seaweed and warm rice were the perfect combo. You can really taste the attention to detail in every bite. Great ambiance, fair pricing for the quality, and an overall memorable dining experience. Can’t wait to come back!

As someone who often eats sushi, I have to say the fish here is incredibly fresh, and the soy sauce is uniquely house-made. I never expected to find such high-quality Japanese cuisine in LIC!

I’ve been here at least 5 times. I’ve lived in NYC for 11 years, have had countless sushi/omakase experiences and this place is hands down my favorite. Freshest fish and perfect proportions. A++++. Every bite is bliss. The butter cod might be the best bite in the city. Run don’t walk to Matsunori!!

Absolutely loved this place! Everything was incredibly fresh, and every dish was beautifully presented. The flavors were authentic and well-balanced, especially the miso butter cod. The staff was warm, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. The ambiance was calm and elegant—perfect for a relaxing dinner. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a top-notch Japanese dining experience!

The atmosphere was great, especially sitting at the bar and watching the chefs prepare the food. Everything felt very fresh and clean. you can really tell they pay attention to quality overall a very enjoyable experience

High quality handrolls. The scallop hand rolls, both spicy and regular, were phenomenal. They definitely didn’t hold out on the caviar roll! The yuzu cocktail had a great citrus refreshing start with a minty finish. The matcha cocktail was also great. I liked how the cocktails did not overpower the taste of the handrolls. Go try it!

Had a really good experience at Matsunori everyone was so friendly and attentive! The food was fresh and tasty. The homemade soy sauce was fantastic!We also ordered two cocktails and both were great. The atmosphere was nice and comfortable. Would definitely recommend.

I've been living in LIC for years and was super excited when this spot opened. I dropped by on a random weekday--it was surprisingly packed, but I was offered bar seating after just a five-minute wait. I ordered the following: Chawanmushi (steamed egg, ikura gel, scallion) - $6 Salmon Cups - $9 A variety of handrolls (e.g., miso butter cod) - $10 Matcha Tiramisu - $9 I love egg, and the chawanmushi was delicious--light and savory. That said, the ikura gel hadn't fully set and felt sticky, which threw off the texture a bit. The salmon cups were fine, but the cup itself was a bit too floury and dense for my taste. Now, the handrolls? Genuinely excellent. The miso butter cod roll is a must-try--rich, flavorful, and balanced. The matcha tiramisu was also a standout--creamy, subtly sweet, and a great way to end the meal. Overall, the food here hits the spot. Service was seamless, and while the appetizers could use help, the handrolls are absolutely solid. I'd definitely come back if I'm in the area and craving sushi.

This modern take on hand roll I would best describe it as "Japanese taco". Surpassed my expectation -- the ratio of fish to rice is very generous for the price. Fresh and quality ingredient paired with excellent service makes it a new "will come back" neighborhood casual dining restaurant.

I will join the chorus of fans of the miso cod and the fois gras. Simply sublime, both of them. The spicy scallop was also amazing. As you can see from the pictures the portion sizes are very generous. Each hand roll is easily 3-4 big bites. The two waygu options are not quite as photogenic as the fish, and the flavor is more subtle. Of the two the plain A5 is better. They were not serving the Uni when we were there but will be coming back to try that!

I had a pretty good experience at this new Handroll joint during soft opening. Simple decor and chill vibe with good services. We were seated at the bar which I like to be able to see them making the temaki. Started with Chawanmushi which took a bit long to come out. On the raw roll we tried King Salmon, Toro, and Scallop; they were fresh and appetizing. We also got the Eel and Miso Butter Cod. While the eel was okay but the cod was quite good, tasty and melts in your mouth. It’s a good addition to the neighborhood.

The first time here and while the service was great, the rolls were just ok. The only really good roll we ordered that was great was the miso buttered cod roll. That was amazing. The lobster roll tasted like octopus. The scallop roll didn’t taste as fresh as it should have been. The portion is a good size. Probably 3-5 rolls per person is about the average you should order. The price while decent just didn’t reflect the quality. Or maybe it did. The other lovely quality was our host. A tall fellow with brown hair and a lovely deep voice served us. He was great. 🥴
