MATTARI – Japanese dining house &Sushi and Brunch

Very impressed with the traditional food, atmosphere and great service. Having lived in Japan for 4 years I always start to check out a new Japanese restaurant by having Sashimi and a fried appetizer like Katsu to see if it’s really authentic and definitely passed my test. I definitely will be coming back to try there dinner menu items. Looks like this new restaurant is going to be the best Japanese restaurant in Gainesville. My server Phoe was very nice and extremely a blast to talk to. 5 out 5 on everything. Update 3 trip here absolutely love the food and service Thank you Phoebe for your great service and remembering were I want to sit and what I want to drink and for adding suggestions. Love this place freshest Sashimi in town

Stumbled across this place the other day, already went back for a second visit. Tried the steamed dumplings, egg sando, chicken sando, volcano roll, and salmon sunset roll. Everything i tried was super delicious. I already know what I want to get the next time I go. The staff that greeted me were pleasant, sweet, and welcoming. The place is tastefully put together and has a nice vibe. 10/10 recommend :)

BEST JAPANESE FOOD IN GAINESVILLE! This place is a hidden gem for authentic Japanese food. Unlike the typical teriyaki chicken restaurants, they have dishes like tornado omelette, creamy udon, curry rice, steak, and more! My partner and I came several times and tried different dishes, all which were very delicious, not overly salty, and very homey tasting. The servers are nice and the place is dimly lit and well decorated. Would highly recommended, we love this place!

absolutely incredible food with great prices. the matarri udon curry udon had such a deep savory flavor. the service was quick and kind, and the prices were astoundingly low for the quality. i would highly recommend this place and will be telling everyone in gainesville to give it a try.

Went here with a group of friends for my partner’s birthday and had an incredible experience. The servers were amiable and attentive. The food was delicious and even the presentation was superb. I would highly recommend it to anyone!
