Matsuri Japanese Eat All You Can Paradise

About the food:

Do you love Japanese food Eat-All-You-Cans with lots of sashimi? I certainly do. That's why I was very pleased with dining at Matsuri, not once but twice! You can order from their buffet list and they'll prepare it and serve it fresh just for you.

Above is a photo of one of my favorites, sweet soy tuna sashimi. It's fresh tuna sashimi marinated that tastes sweet instead of salty.

It even has crab eggs to give it more taste.

This is one of their grilled fish and is also good.

A japanese meal should start right with a good serving of miso soup. 

This may look like dessert but it's not. It's called chawan mushi. It takes some time to prepare but is worth trying. At the bottom of this custard like soup are seafood.

These are assorted mushrooms. 

The classic shrimp tempura

This one is also excellent, even if you normally do not like spicy dishes. This is a spicy tuna sashimi dish. It's spicy alright but not spicy enough to make you drink lots of water. 

If you're not fond of tuna, they also have sashimi, in plain and spicy variants. 

You can also treat yourself to california makis.

or this tempura maki. 

Tamago or egg sashimi are also available. 

as well as spicy sushi.

 Their salad is also a must try. It has a good dressing.

The gyoza I tried on my second visit was also fantastic.

The beef was also well done.

Finally, one of my unique finds, the Kamameshi Rice. It came in an old fashioned but beautiful container.

A word of advice though: One order of this is good enough for two. Also, the kamameshi rice is already heavy on the stomach. So if you really want to try every dish, you should skip on the rice. The Kamameshi rice has mushrooms, beef, chicken, vegetables, and even seafood. The rice is also sticky with some sweet sauce.

Matsuri is located at Tomas Morato, near Il Terrazzo and ABS-CBN. During weekends they open around 11AM and on weekdays they quickly become fully occupied. For Monday to Friday lunch, they charge PHP495. For weekday dinners as well as weekend lunch and dinner, they charge PHP595. Both prices exclude beverages and service charge.
