    Craving for sushi kicked in while grocery shopping. I've passed this place up a couple times so we decided to stop by since it was across the street from Kroger. We came during their happy hour times and ordered 4 different rolls, 2 appetizer (BOGO free), and a miso soup. Everything was delicious. Service was very kind and the rolls came out fast.

    Happy hour menu

    Tried the happy hour options of veg gyoza, chicken gyoza, kani salad and veg spring rolls. Ok, not impressed. We've had better at the all-you-can eat joints where the focus isn't quality. Also order the chicken teriyaki which comes with the salad and miso soup. Overall, never seen such flimsy sushi in my life and we do a lot of sushi. My pieces were paper thin while the California roll was a tad bit thicker. Good news is this place does give bottles of sriracha sauce because all the food is plain and you will need about half this bottle to give it flavor. Our first time here and we won't be back. Ambiance is a Spanish channel on the tv which is not fitting for the food choice. Service was friendly and our server was nice.

    Love coming here for their happy hour menu! Happy hour is everyday from 2:30-9 and ALL DAY SATURDAY! The sashimi and sushi slices are so generous for HH prices! $1.50 for sushi and $1.75 per sashimi piece. $5.95 for rolls and BOGO appetizers! Best agedashi tofu in town! The tofu has a perfect crisp skin coating a soft tofu inside. The flavors balances so well. We came here on a Friday lent night and it was so busy yet the service and food came out so quick!! We came hungry and left happy. It is a smaller sushi restaurant, I wouldn't recommend coming with a big group during busy hours. Overall, very friendly , quick service and great quality sushi!

    Salmon and yellowtail sashimi

    I had the pleasure of dining here with a friend of mine for lunch in mid July. Sushi is a common delight for us both and she mentioned this was a favorite of hers when she's in the area. They do have sushi rolls not on the menu which is what we ordered. There's the Bunny Roll (salmon, tuna, avocado, tobiko, cilantro) and the General (??) Roll (Imitation crab, shrimp tempura, green onion), both of which are large and filling and tasty. We also ordered salmon and yellowfin sashimi, both served chilled since we needed some sort of raw fish for the rolls. While I've had better sashimi elsewhere, the taste was there. Service was quick and sufficient and the sushi came out pretty quickly for a place that was 3/4ths full on a Thursday just before noon. The place has a favorable happy hour according to some people; I think it's still the $1 sushi/sashimi + BOGO appetizer which is a deal you can't say no to. I assume it still goes from 2:30 PM to close which is more favorable than other happy hours. There's plenty of parking and it's in a strip mall in Energy Corridor so more fit for the suburbia crowd. While it's not a spot I would go out of my way for, I'm down to grab sushi here, open to HH, and perhaps make a takeout order should I pass through this neck of the woods.

    10 piece assorted sushi during happy hour.

    Very surprised with the quality of sushi here in this strip center joint. I had some time to kill and wanted to satisfy my sushi craving and I must say I'll be back. The happy hour alone is such a steal. You can get certain nigiri or sashimi for $1 or $1.75 I think. Certain appetizers are buy one, get one free. The service is exceptional as well. What else is there to say?

    Fresh Salmon!! The best in town for $ VS value.
    Wesley S.

    April 2023 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Love this place! This is the best quality food for the price in town. My son and I are regulars here. The entire staff is great. The service is excellent. If you want something quick and good quality for the price this is your place. Ambiance is nice and comfy.

    Pretty good miso soup
    Erica G.

    This place is pretty awesome.. Where else can you find you find happy hour from 2:30 pm to close and buy 1 get 1 free appetizers?! They have a great chilled like cheese sauce talkie for $6 a cup which isn't too bad nowadays. They have happy hour rolls that are many people's favorite such as the shaggy dog roll and the crunchy roll. While their sushi isn't the best, I still enjoyed it! Very small space so make sure to come right after work. I came on a Friday around 5:15pm and it was empty but started getting packed at 7pm. Also a great area to sit at the sushi bar. Highly recommended! You'll get a bang for your buck!

    Happy hour sushi rolls: cajun crawfish, spicy tuna, shaggy dog

    I've been coming to Matsu for years and even return now that I no longer live in the area. Great place for fresh sushi, healthy portions, and fantastic service. I highly recommend their lunch specials and happy hour specials. Come early because there aren't too many seats, but they do a great job of accommodating.

    greatttt service the waiter was really nice and the food was SOOOO good i ate all the plates…read moreconsidering im pretty picky with most foods. the atmosphere was SO pretty. very calm and they had like the BEST mochi ice cream I've tried. amazing sushi overall and calm relaxing atmosphere in general.

    This isn't all you can eat restaurant with two price points, which was featuring restaurant week…read more Service: the service is where I docked a point. There was literally a twelve course, meal which was kind of insane, but awesome and you order one through twelve but then we got our items kind of all jumbled up. So we had sashimi first as opposed to our soup, which arrived on the fourth course. Are server was nice, but it felt like she was very new. Venue: this place I believe used to be a hot pot venue. I never went there previously. But in general, it looks fine it doesn't look particularly super special. Parking: this is a shared lot with lots of other businesses. We needed to park a bit of a ways away, but it is tolerable to walk. Food: this is more of a message to management than anything else but the flavored house sakes are COMICALLY bad. We did a flight of them. I believe there are seven or so, and each one was more thick and sweet than the next. Gross. Value: I think in general it was a great experience. The price point, it gives you two options of things to try. It was really cool for the restaurant week that there was some of the higher end items included.

    Awesome sushi spot. Went for HH. They brought out a little pickles bite. The HH prices only on…read morefood but a great deal. Also if you arrive just before HH they will let you order at those prices for an hour after the clock runs out. Obv we did à la carte but for $30pp there is an all you can eat option with drinks and dessert incl. Great variety and three regular rolls or hand rolls for $12. $1 nigiri and miso soup. Great service and ambiance.

    I can't believe people hype up THIS location. I live 5 minutes from the 290 location and I drove 20…read moremins to get to this location... just to leave and go to sushi masa instead. First of all, Friday night, sure I expect it to be busy, I also (as a previous server AND bartender) expect 2 servers to be able to handle about 10 tables. It's not even that fkn big on the inside to be waiting 10 minutes for just WATER. Terrible management if you also can't anticipate that you'd need more than 2 servers for 10 tables. I didn't even get to eat at this location, I just left. I had my baby with me, it's taking 10 mins for no water, it's gonna take forever for everything else. Not only that, the server literally went to the table that came after us to greet them before us. So no greeting, no drinks, no water, like atleast thanks for bringing the highchair. Btw I also saw 2 dudes get up from their table to refill their own drinks. Nice ambiance, very small on the inside.. so small but 2 servers can't handle btw. Do what you want w this information, I would prefer sushi masa over this bs anyday.
