Edomae Sushi Matsuki

Best gastronomic experience in Bratislava. We traveled to Slovakia to have dinner here. Very warm atmosphere and professional chef. All the food was cooked well, served in traditional Japanese style and the food was fresh. I highly recommend this restaurant

Hands down one of the best sushi experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment we stepped inside the centuries-old cellar and were seated by the Japanese garden, we were enchanted. The staff were warm, the atmosphere serene, and watching the chefs prepare each piece of sushi — a perfect balance of seasonality and Edomae mastery — made the evening unforgettable.

I hope my review finds matsuki well. I have been here twice and I foremost wish him and his team only the best. The only reason for this review is with hope for the better and more success for him and his team. For the 2 of us we paid: 200€ for 2 bottles of Sake 410€ for 2x menu and 6 pc extra nigiri 110€ Tip I think dining experience is always relative to how much you pay. Valuation can come from exclusive, expensive ingredient but it can also come from craftmanship and finesse of the chef. The most challenging part of running an exclusive omakase in europe is definitely getting hold of exclusive ingredients/raw materials. For this amount of money in japan, you will highly probably offered things usual europeans never encountered ever. But thatd be senseless to compare because you are in slovakia and not in Japan BUT then, valuation has to come from somewhere else. If you offer seabass, seabream, mediocre prawns and salmon for your omakase which cost 150€ then the valuation for the customer has to come from elsewhere. Extra valuation could come from: 1. tailored experience: every customer has a different preference for their nigiri. An experienced chef would ask for the amount of rice and wasabi. This was not asked once, in the contrast, I had to request for all my needs and felt bad. In usual omakase experience it is very common for the chef to ask you whether you are confortable with the amount of rice, wassbi and soy sauce made for your nigiri and he idividually adjusts the request for individual guests. You can argue whats right and wrong but I think in the end, a customer droven tailored experience has more success in the long run. 2. customer satisfaction: in the end, no matter whether its worth it or not, the customer is paying 150€, then every need will ask for the customer to be full after the meal. Maybe a Udon noodle soup or fried rice instead of a blend soup will get the job done. I have heard this from numerous friends of mine who have visited this place. But in the end this might be a difference in perspective. Europeans micht not wish to be full when experiencing a high end dining. If I had a relatively low cost of ingredients due to lack of exclusive choice of raw materials, I might prepare sufficiently to give customers free bonus for their favorite choice of nigiri. Neta and shari is all prepared anyways. 10€ for an extra piece of salmon nigiri which will be left over anyways is just not necessary if that customer is already paying 300€+ for the meal. But every owner has their own way of running their business. 3. atmosphere: an omakase like this is based on a close relationship between the chef and the customer. With that being said, the chefs job is not only to make an excellent sushi but also have the customers entertained. Obviously if i dont strive to create extra value, I would probably not care but if i had such a shortage of ingredients and had to pick salmon, seabass and seabream (no uni, no hamachi, no jack mackrel, no sardine, no grouper) for a 150€ menu, I would try my best to communicate best and keep the guests entertained who took immense time and money to enjoy the food. After spending 1700€ for visiting this place two times, I dont even know the chefs name, an example. In summary: I wish the team all the best and I am thankful for their craftmanship. Nevertheless there is a big room for improvement. It doesnt feel like that at the moment because there is no competition for a place like this, but at this level of craftmanship, I imagine you arent working to be the best in field but rather to be better than the „yesterday‘s you“. For someone who is regularly in japan and korea, I cant imagine coming back here anytime soon. This would at this current level only be an escape solution.

We recently visited Edomae Sushi Matsuki, and the experience was truly unforgettable. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the staff were very polite and attentive to detail. Special thanks for the warm hospitality. The sushi was outstanding — incredibly fresh fish, perfectly cooked rice, beautiful presentation — everything simply melted in our mouths. We would also like to highlight the exceptional skill of the chef — it was a true culinary masterpiece. We will definitely come back and recommend the restaurant to our friends. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

Phenomenal. From being welcomed at the door, to the design of the entrance hall, to the clean minimalistic interior of the dining room, the very attentive and kind service, the hand written personal menu, the *outstanding* food and presentation. Absolute class. And the best we've tried so far in Europe. Chef Takeuchi truly knows his craft.

5⭐ Edomae Sushi Matsuki – An unforgettable dining experience We visited Edomae Sushi Matsuki last night for my wife’s birthday, and honestly, it was an experience unlike anything we’ve ever had in a restaurant. From the warm welcome to the very last moment, everything felt exceptionally thoughtful and perfectly executed. You can immediately sense the passion and dedication behind every detail. We didn’t really know what to expect – and ended up being completely blown away. The quality of the ingredients is outstanding, and every piece of sushi is a small work of art. Watching the chefs perform their precise, focused craft was an absolute joy in itself. Yes, the price level is higher – but absolutely justified. We would (and will) come back without hesitation. A clear recommendation for anyone who wants to experience true Edomae sushi on a world-class level.

One of the best dining experiences I have ever had. It’s hard to describe in words, but the served dishes were beyond amazing. The atmosphere is uniquely crafted, and as authentic as I can imagine. The service is outstanding. The sake, whiskey, and other drinks are wonderful as well. Highly recommended!
