The entrance is a warm hand roll sushi
🍣 Matsunori Handroll Bar: Boston’s Hottest Soft-Opening Sushi Spot—Where Scallops and Wagyu Steal the Show This tiny spot is in soft opening, and wow—it’s already a standout. The menu’s small (check the last pic), but every roll hits. I don’t splurge on $100+ sushi often (maybe 10 spots total in the U.S.), but this? Easily the best I’ve had—with (per person) under $100. The details matter: Warm, melt-in-your-mouth rice; slightly salty nori (seaweed) that elevates every bite. It’s clear they care about the basics—and it shows. 🔥 The Must-Orders (No Exceptions) Scallop Handroll: 6 stars. My absolute favorite. The scallop is sweet, tender, and so fresh—it melts on your tongue. Light, clean, and perfect. Do not leave without ordering this. Wagyu + Truffle Salt: 5.5 stars. Another non-negotiable. The wagyu is served warm (close to body temperature), making it feel luxurious as it hits your mouth. Bonus: A hint of wasabi in the rice adds a subtle kick. Rich, earthy, and unforgettable. Miso Black Cod: 5 stars. Buttery, flaky cod glazed in sweet-savory miso. Topped with wasabi-infused roe and a dollop of pumpkin purée—creamy, bright, and totally unique. Snow Crab Handroll: 5 stars. Cold, sweet crab leg meat (so fresh, I briefly thought it was imitation crab—that’s how good it is). Light and refreshing, with a delicate brininess. 🥢 Still Great, But Overshadowed Salmon with Avocado: 4.5 stars. The first roll we tried, and it wowed us—creamy avocado, fatty salmon, perfect rice. But next to the scallop and wagyu? It’s just very good. Spicy Tuna: 4 stars. Creative twist: They use pumpkin crunch instead of tempura bits, adding a nutty sweetness. It’s solid, but lacks the “wow” factor of the other rolls. 💡 The Fine Print No reservations—you’ll have to wait (the space is tiny, so lines build fast). Portions are small, but the quality justifies it. Come hungry, but ready to savor. 📌 Verdict Matsunori is a must-visit—even in soft opening. It’s proof that great sushi doesn’t need a huge menu; it just needs fresh fish, perfect rice, and attention to detail. 📍 Matsunori Handroll Bar: Boston’s new sushi obsession—worth every minute of the wait. #BostonSushi #SoftOpening #FoodieFinds
