Matsuri Set To Re-Open Soon
Matsuri, the popular suburban Miami sushi spot, was supposed to re-open in early September after month-long renovations, but for the past few weeks, the phone hasn't been answered, and the front of the restaurant has been boarded up. But finally, we've got some news, thanks to Auger at Chowhound:
Matsuri will re-open soon. I passed by on Wed. This time I got out of my car. The place was still boarded up, but the construction guys had the door opened. And it looks great! They were just finishing the outside. I only took 2 quick peeks thru the door. 1st, Theres lots of wood, and lighting looks better. Also it looked as if the bar is closer to the door, so they may have increased the kitchen area, But then it could be just that I could see the bar better because of the light. Also even though the place wasn't open. There were 2 sushi chefs behind the bar in full uniform. They were probably doing a test run. I could see Matsuri opening this weekend, at latest, next week, either way its going to open soon.
Still no answer at the restaurant, but as soon as we can talk to the owners, we'll pass along the information.
