Matsuzaka-Tei - Pearl City

I ordered the beef curry udon and it was delicious! I usually like my curry udon a little on the thicker side and this one was more brothy, but it still had a lot of curry flavor. The staff was friendly and the food came out quick! It's a fast casual restaurant where you order your food, pick it up, seat yourself and bus your own table, which was cool. Will go back!

If you're looking for a quick-service Japanese rice bowl joint, is this the place for you. They have Rice Bowls, Udon Bowls, Curry Bowls & Tempura Everything. The restaurant has about 7 booths to enjoy your food.

I come here once in a while because I like their ontama beef rice bowl. It's good but nothing amazing. I think it would be a lot better if it was more saucy and had more onions with it. I also ordered a side of vegetable tempura and that was tasty but it could've been crispier. Overall, this place is nice if you want rice and something quick. The prices are pretty reasonable and they have a lot of options ranging from beef bowls to curry and udon.

10% Military & Student discount :)My son and I stopped into Matsuzaka-Tei last week to enjoy a quick bite for lunch. We didn't have any prior game plan, but the menu isn't too extensive to decide on the fly. We opted for two beef bowls - one Ontama (egg) & one w/vegetable tempura. Then, of course, we got a 3pc Takoyaki side order because we like to try the Takoyaki everywhere lol. The mini beef bowls were the perfect size for us, and the Takoyaki was simply delicious! We wish the vegetable temp was a little bigger... it was pretty tiny. Service was fast and friendly, though it's just a person at a register, not the full dine-in experience. We initially were gonna do takeout, but decided to eat at an open table; there were quite a few. The restaurant was pretty clean & cozy, in my opinion, and lunchtime had a steady flow of takeout customers. There's plenty more to try from the menu, so I'm sure we'll be back soon! Next time, my son and I agreed we'd order the beef bowl w/takoyaki on top cuz it sort of needed that extra sauce. Ps. Get a stamp card! :)

My husband & I's go to when we're in Pearl city. It's a cute little hole in the wall for Japanese food! There's usually only one cashier and one person working the back. Each time we go, the cashiers are always friendly. Our favorites are the beef bowl & pork tonkatsu with curry. I always order the mini beef bowl and it's A LOT. The portion size is very generous. I always get green onions as my topping for an additional ($2), yes it's a bit expensive for green onions but they top it with a lot of green onions! I also get a side of curry. I love dipping my beef with curry, topped with the green onions and the pickled daikon on the side. Delish! They also have pickled ginger which my husband opts for. I recently tried the takoyaki and it was ok. Nothing special about it imo. We usually spend about $50-60 on a meal which can be a little much... but the freshness of the food and quality of the food is superb. I love supporting small businesses and local business! I don't know of any other Oahu business that sells beef gyudon like this. I highly recommend this place to get your gyudon fix.

We ordered food for dine in and still got takeout containers to eat from. The sukiyaki beef was tough with gristle in every piece, I ended up spitting out all the meat, it wasn't edible. They advertise "sukiyaki beef rice bowl" as a best seller but I bet their chicken is probably a safer choice. The soft boiled egg was great and the garlic mayo (+$1.00) was good, though. The shrimp tempura had udon that broke apart easily, like they didn't boil the udon, tasted like it went straight from the Sun noodle package into the styrofoam container.They charge 3% if you use credit card, so bring cash if you want a 3% discount.

My go-to place for a quick hearty meal in Pearl City. The thinly sliced beef bowls are delicious and flavorful over hot white rice. The onions are sweet and the beef is surprisingly not tough, so you're getting good ingredients. There are lots of seats indoors with self service sauces and togarashi but most people get takeout. This time I got the takoyaki on top, and they were pretty good to curb the craving.

Not much places you can get gyudon, so I hit up dis place every once in a while... Unfortunately, dey miss 7 times out of 10. Even if you give them jes, still no comparison to Matsuya. But what deserves 2 shakas is dea unadon (when available). Kinda pricey but supah ono!

Disappointed. Not as good as before. Service - lady who took our order got it right - cook mixed up the sizes. Ordered a mini beef with cheese and a medium beef with Kim chee, both with rice. Got a mini beef with Kim chee and medium beef with cheese. Didn't notice it until after I started eating the beef with cheese and noticed it was too big a bowl. Glanced at hubby's and saw his tiny Bowl and felt bad. He said it was ok so we didn't go back to rectify problem. Other issue - bowls weren't hot. My cheese never melted even though I mixed the beef and cheese into the rice. Hubby said his wasn't hot either. Final issue - beef was chewier than before. Just not same. Not sure if I'll be back soon. Might come back to try an udon bowl instead of rice. Maybe it will be hot.

First time trying this restaurant, and I am not impressed. I ordered a medium chicken Katsu curry which tasted just average and didn't even come with a little ginger/pickles like many place serve it with. Also I thought it was strange that the medium size bowl I had, looked like the same size as the large bowl I also had in my order. And the prices seemed a bit high for what I ordered. My order consisted of two medium size rice bowls and one large rice bowl. The total was just under $50. Seems a bit overpriced...
