Matsuri is a Japanese restaurant which is located within the Maritime Hotel at 369 West 16th Street (quite near Ninth Avenue) which is reputed to offer great sushi and other examples of Japanese cuisine. It operates under the culinary guidance of master chef Tadashi Ono with dishes described as sensible and faithful to the Japanese cooking tradition. Surprisingly, one of the most popular dishes here is actually the $23 sirloin steak, which you would not immediately correlate with Japanese cuisine. The restaurant is so tastefully designed by Japanese craftsmen that the establishment was even recognized as having Best New Design back in 2004 by the Best in New York Awards. Small Plates did a feature on Matsuri in 2003, and the restaurant has even been included in the 101 Best New York Restaurants list for 2006.
