Matsui Sushi & Ramen: Experience Authentic Japanese Cuisine in Alexandria

Ramen is the best in the area. Sushi is also great. I would recommend carry out as the place is small.

The food is delicious! The service is great and they were very helpful and attentive. The place is really cute and has parking! Would definitely come back and try more items on the menu.

Came here on a friends recommendation and was not disappointed! Amazing food, 10/10 and I'm already planning my next trip back. I ordered the volcano ramen which is labeled *very spicy*, and boy do they mean it! It is not by any means "American" spicy. Definitely the best ramen I've had so far. There is a huge dinner rush for a reason, the food is amazing and the service is friendly and efficient.

So far, they are my favorite sushi restaurant in the DMV. The sushi is always fresh, and their sake belly (salmon belly) is the best in the area. Their karage chicken is delicious too; though, I wish they were crispier. Customer service is always great.

We had dinner at Matsui for the first time and I was wowed by how great the sushi is here. I didn't know what to order, so I opted for the sushi dinner, which was a mix of different nigiri. Everything was excellent, especially the hamachi, salmon, ikura, and tuna. In fact, I am usually not thrilled with tuna unless it is blue fin, or toro, but the tuna here was super fresh and a splendid cut that was simply delicious. I noticed the table beside me order the sushi boat, which I was very intrigued by and even tempted to invite some friends to next time just so we could order it. The service was very friendly and I loved the fact that the restaurant seemed to be busy with many locals and regulars who know exactly what's best to order. We will definitely be coming back soon, and I hope to try the sushi boat next time!
