Matsu Japanese Restaurant

The only reason I am giving three stars was because the staff was friendly and the presentation was impressive. However the sushi lacked flavor and texture. I even got a bright green wasabi which had zero flavor. The sushi chef saw my confusion and then he asked would I like real wasabi. I have never been asked that before.I will not be back.

I was in a rush going to Matsu's on a weekday. The service was prompt and fast. A cozy place with several tables of customer on a week night. The decor looks very much DIY by the restaurant, with faux brick wall to block the sunlight. The food was delicious. Ordered the sushi sashimi combo for two, came with salad and soup. I enjoyed the food. Would repeat.

Stopped in when I was passing through town for a work trip and...WOW! Such a great dining experience! The food was all so fresh, and came out quickly. The miso soup was some of the best that I've had - and the prices for the quality of food was super fair. Everything came out plated and presented so nicely! Service was great, and there was never a moment we needed anything and went unnoticed. The interior is AWESOME, and catches you by surprise as you walk in. A great place to stop in for a great dinner.

We were in town visiting friends. She took us here for lunch. The food was good! The staff was even better! Since we were visiting and in no hurry, it was nice that they kept our drinks full and allowed us to visit without making us feel bad! After leaving a healthy tip, we sincerely thanked them for allowing us the time together! This is a local gem ran by diamonds for people! Most Sincerely!

Amazing authentic Japanese sushi! Presentation, ambience, service. Absolutely reasonable price for the quality. A great find near the airport hotels

This place has one heck of an atmosphere!Walls are decorated to make the place look as Japanese as possible. TV was on, playing a Japanese TV network. The restaurant had a visible food preparation area where the sushi chefs enthusiastically did their work. Restaurant did not pinch pennies on the waiters' and chefs' uniforms.The restaurant is on the corner of a row of several adjacent buildings and I liked their use of their window space. Once you open the door, the entrance is well-decorated, too. The podium the host stands behind is oddly situated, but they are making their best use of a small space, so no points taken off.The restroom was clean.I ordered escolar, toro, orata, and chicken katsu. All more than acceptable quality. I did not like the katsu sauce, but I think that's just a personal preference matter.They threw in some extra food- tuna in a circular configuration with some other elements I couldn't figure out- which I guess worked, since I'm here, writing this five-star review!Plates were high-quality, and designed to make the food more presentable.

TIP: Dine in and enjoy a wholesome Japanese meal or order take out. I prefer to dine in and soak up the restaurant vibe along with the food. First off, the thought process and execution of the menu is amazing. It certainly costs a pretty penny to curate a menu Matsu offers. It is very detail oriented, full of pictures of items on the menu, and the top of the menu pages are labeled to guide you along the way. Lastly, it's a hard cover menu. Frankly, the menu is better than some high end restaurants in downtown cities. ORDER:* Fancy Tuna * This appetizer reminded me of poke. It was diced ice-cut tuna and avocado dressed with delicious sesame soy sauce. It has bits of spinach salad. * Iburi Sake( Smoked Salmon * Two delicious sushi smoked salmon pieces. The salmon was perfect. * Sake (Salmon) * Sticking with the salmon, another two tasty salmon sushi. * Shrimp Tempura Roll * Freshly fried shrimp tempura with avocado in rice and seaweed. The eel sauce drizzled all over the sushi always jazzes up sushi. * House Nabe Udon (or Soba) Noodle Soup * This soup on a cold winter day was perfect. This soup has noodles your choice of udon or sobs (I went with udon) and a mix of seafood; fish, shrimp, scallops, crabmeat; veggies, accompanied with a fried egg. This soup was tasty. Note: This is for a seafood lover. This entree came with house salad which was great. * Shrimp & Vegetable Tempura * Perfectly golden fries shrimp and veggies tempura. This entree came with steamed white rice, house salad and miso soup. SERVICE:Excellent LOCATION/FACILITY:End of a business plaza PARKING:Free shares parking lot SEATING:Indoor; bar PAYMENT METHOD:Cash, card Overall this restaurant is the first Japanese restaurant that was legitimately amazing. The food was great, the menu was detailed and there is a huge variety of items to try. We will definitely be back - this is marked my favorite Japanese restaurant.

Delicious menu, excellent service, and fantastic ambiance. We will most definitely be regulars.

The service here is great! The people are so nice and very attentive. The vegetable sushi is amazing. My friends all like the other food they have to offer.

Thanks to yelp I tried this out of the way Japanese place located in a nondescript strip mall and had a great meal. Ambiance was classic with a small but adequate bar area for the up close prep experience. I went with my go to choice of a sushi-sashimi platter when I get a sense the place is the real deal, and Matsu did not disappoint!After a chef surprise, which was a delicious ball of avocado and seafood, followed by the standard miso soup and salad .... Out came one of the nicest looking platters I've ever seen. All the sushi and sashimi was fresh, delicious and well prepared. This is definitely a place worth trying if you were in the area.
