I was surprised when reading the many reviews stating “best restaurant, best Japanese food in...” and so on. Having lived in Japan and dined in many Japanese restaurants in Europe (especially in Germany) I would rate Matsumi with three stars. This was our third visit. The food is very good, but very overpriced. This time we had the most expensive set menu at 94 per person for eight courses and did not find the quality to match the price. Many better restaurants, even in Tokyo, don’t charge that much for the quality we were served. The staff is friendly but nothing special. The restaurant itself is very basic with a cheap interior. It looks like it hasn’t been renovated for years, including the dirty restrooms. If you get seated on the tables that have a wall-mounted bench, bring a pillow! After three hours of dining without any back support but a low, wooden shelf we couldn’t wait to pay and leave. Hamburg has so many other great restaurants, and after having given Matsumi three chances we will not come back.

It’s a good place for when you want to splurge. After living more than three years in Tokyo, I’m always on the look out for some legit raw fish. Matsumi delivers an authentic taste.
Sold me akami as chu and o toro which wasn’t even that great. If they were out of belly meat they should have said instead of betting on me being uneducated on the difference. The price per piece was high enough to expect genuine product. Otherwise I like this place but this was insulting and borderline criminal. I was on a date so I didn’t want to make a scene but I was looking forward to trying bluefin toro as I’ve never had it before.
Excellent Japanese food. I highly recommend you trying Matsumi. They have the largest selection of Nigiri and Sashimi of ant restaurant in Hamburg. Toro and Chu Toro are available here. Menu in English uploaded. They also have a Deutsch menu.
Beautiful and pontor3sque Japanese environment with great service, but pricey in my opinion
