Great customer service from the two ladies in the front check in area. Forgot their names but they were so accommodating and efficient with their help. It was our first time dining at the restaurant and I wanted to sit closer to the entrance/exit for mental health reasons. They were so kind and genuine with their care and service. The food was amazing- fresh, flavorful, and delicious.
The food was great. The teppan dining room was great fun. Our server was so attentive I wish I remembered her name. And Junior kept us watered and took wonderful care of us.
Restaurants that have lasted for over 40 years have a special quality to them, a feeling that resonates as unique. Matsu Restaurant in Huntington Beach is one of those special places that welcomes the customer in not only to enjoy a sumptuous meal, but also to spend time relaxing and being cared for in a gorgeous environment. I was swept away by their unique and detailed decor as I walked in. Matsu offers so much: a sushi table, a full bar, a dining room, a separate room for parties, and teppan tables. The food was absolutely superb. Dinner began with soup, and I chose miso, so soothing and rich. I also tried the yellowtail sashimi, and I was blown away with its freshness. It was dinner and a show! I loved watching the chef prepare our meals right in front of us: fried rice, fresh vegetables, mushrooms, shrimp, lobster, and scallops. Hot, savory, delicious, and incredibly fresh -- I haven't had such delicious and fresh seafood in ages. Our chef was very skilled, had a fantastic personality, and a really cute sense of humor. Portions were magisterial. We walked out with leftovers to last for at least two lunches. What made the evening special at Matsu was the fact that everyone who attended to us was remarkably kind. The host...the bartender...the chef... they welcomed us into the restaurant as though it were their home and made us feel at home, as well. Restaurants like Matsu are unique because of the character and the bones of the establishment. The decor, the people, the food, and the vibe all give testament to why Matsu has been here for over 40 years.
the combo boat was very filling and delicious! the meat was very tender and juicy. the california roll was ok. the chicken and beef are great. the calamari with the sauce and potato are also very good. service was friendly and quick. it's a very spacious place with lots of seating. it's a great spot for families and large groups!
Hidden in the corner of a some-what small plaza in Huntington Beach of Talbert Ave and Beach Blvd, Matsu Restaurant has been around for quite some time and if you're local to the area, you already know they're pretty darn good but if you're not you should definitely bookmark this place. I remember seeing this/hearing about the restaurant growing up in HB as I once lived nearby and attended Oceanview High school once up on a time ago and never once got to try this place out. Until November 14th, 2025. Ok, now that you know where it's at, let's get to the food! FOOD Fried Calamari (Dinner item) One of the appetizers that we ordered, it was an interesting take as I've never seen Fried Calamari in the form of fries before but it's not bad! I would say it's a great item to order for dine-in and take-out! Soft Shell Crab (Lunch/Dinner item) One of my favorites and this one always hits the spot. The right crunch. The right flavor. You might end up ordering 2 orders of it! Give it a try, it'll pinch the right cravings! Suicide Roll Ok, aside from the name I was pretty interested in a sushi roll that night and the contents were up my alley. The inside contained spicy tuna and sprouts while the outside consisted of salmon, white onion, green onion, bonito shavings, sesame seeds and ponzu sauce to top it all off. It's quite the 'Jumper' leaving you a 'Third Eye Blind'....I'll see myself out 5/5 you can't go wrong on this one! Fresh Water Eel (2 pieces) I'm an Eel guy, always have to have a couple orders of them and these hit the spot. Rich in flavor, would order again! maybe 3 orders of it next time.. Matsu 69 Ok yeah I'm sure the name gave you a bit of a chuckle but honestly, I think this was one of my favorite dish. Not only is it exquisitely presentable but it leaves you wanting more after every bite. Second guessing on ordering this? Don't. Just get it, it's truly delicious. You wont' regret it. Contents of the Matsu 69, sliced avocado stuffed with spicy tuna, green onion, tempura crunchy flakes and mayo, smelt egg, sesame seeds and eel sauce to top everything off! Baked Green Mussel Another favorite of mine. We wanted to take a swing at this one but I'm a sucker for baked mussel so had to order one of these. Truly delicious! Beef Teriyaki & Sashimi combo dinner At this point of the night, our bellies were nearly full but I had this order and had to to-go the rest but it's definitely something to order if you're in the mood and starving! An abundance of everything, balance of flavor and cooked to perfection! Salmon with Misoyaki & Sashimi combo dinner Another great one if you wanted more fish with your meal. If you're already familiar with how teriyaki salmon tastes like, I recommend the misoyaki! It has a sweet, savory flavor to it and I feel pairs really well with the salmon! OVERALL We actually visited during a very very rainy Friday night which I'm fine with. Rain always sends out a vibe but I have to warn you. Parking is pretty limited in that plaza so if you're planning to have a Friday night dinner I would plan ahead and get there early just to secure a spot. Speaking of, Matsu is a great restaurant for all occasions. It's definitely family-friendly, romantic dates if both parties are up for some sushi, or just catching up with friends! It has a very warm ambient feel with subtle traditional music playing in the background. Interior plays an ode to tradition which makes you feel you're eating at an authentic Japanese restaurant and not to mention, it's actually quite large. I had no idea but I believe the right side of the restaurant is for yakitori? I was a bit curious but didn't get a chance to see. But if you're having a standard dinner, you'll be directed to left upon arrival where you'll also see a small and cozy bar. Trust me, it's got everything if you're in the mood for it. A bit upset I didn't visit sooner in the past but very glad to have attend during my birthday! Thank you for the delicious dinner and superb customer service! We'll be visiting real soon Matsu!
Celebrated my birthday here Teppan style! Always so much fun to order fried rice with shrimp and steak I love the atmosphere it feels homey and they surprise u with free photo for celebrations! U can't go wrong and try their boat sized drink it looks like a fruit punch for two!
Their Halloween decor for 2025 was awesome! We went in on a weekday for dinner and were greeted and seated by friendly staff. Ordered various sushi rolls and tempura. Our friend really enjoyed the sushi since it was their first time at this restaurant. Everything tasted fresh and had good selection as too. Staff were wonderful and welcoming. Loved the ambiance. It was lively for weekday. Great food, staff, and vibes. I can't wait to go back!
I confided my passion for Japanese food to a previous coworker and first thing out of her mouth was this place, MATSU, Huntington Beach. As it is almost 90 minutes away from me (I live in the heart of Hollywood), all O could think to say was this friggin place better be good!!) She touted about ordering a "BOAT" - which I'm thinking is some sort of dish that is shared. Why not? I'm in... The drive from Hollywood started at 3pm - just in case I hit some traffic. And I did. Took me 1 hour and 45 minutes. Parking was very easy. The lot is huge! We walked in and first thing that hit me was the decor. A little dark. Very apropos. Many booths. We sat at one. Glad the tables do slide or I would've needed to move. I'm a chubber! The Host was very nice. The busboy was very efficient. The server was very professional - a little robotic. Then followed the appetizer was Clam Chowder. Not bad. So, out came the "BOAT"! It was a great presentation. And it was loaded - steak, teriyaki chicken, broccoli, fried chicken, salmon, California rolls, Tempura, and a few other things. A bowl of rice on the side for each person. I actually felt the fried chicken could use a little more seasoning. BTW - it's a lot of food! A LOT! If I come back I will order the boat for two and a few appetizers. So come check out the boat. I'm glad this grubbery was mentioned. I am a fan of food excursions - I will drive a distance for some fun foods. Let me know if you make it here and what you ordered. Happy grubbin'!
Best deal here is the Sushi Lunch (or Sushi Dinner if you're here at night). You get 6 pieces of nigiri plus a tuna roll and cali roll. And it comes with salad, soup and rice. So delicious!
I have died and gone to SUSHI HEAVEN! This place is the REAL DEAL. Super authentic. All chef's are Japanese. I am Japanese so I'm a sushi snob. I've been all over and had the best of the best and I can tell you Matsu is one of the best sushi spots in OC. I really enjoy their *red snapper *blue fin tuna *halibut *black porgy *amber jack Sit at the sushi bar and thank me later. :) *don't forget to buy the chefs a beer! They LOVE
The restaurant itself is really cute as there's a lot of Japanese decor, the ambiance is nice, and the servers are dressed in kimonos which is a cute little touch. There are several seating areas with different vibes and we got seated in a dining area that was well lit, although I saw there was another area with dimmer lighting and another that was just basically a secluded sushi bar. My boyfriend and I ordered the crabby tuna, fried calamari, salmon misoyaki entree, and stuffed halibut entree. The entrees came with a cucumber salad, choice of soup, and white rice. The crabby tuna was good and I was surprised to find out that they use real crab meat. The fried calamari might have been my favorite part of the meal, although it isn't like the typical fried calamari you find at other restaurants as there's not as much breading and the seasoning is very light. The entrees in my opinion were alright; the fish was good but the veggies were pretty bland and seemed to just be boiled. The seasoning on the salmon was a bit too salty and I had to scrape some of the miso off (but the salmon itself was delicious), while the stuffed halibut was very mild but in a good way! Maybe the sushi is a lot better, but we didn't get to try it this time around Our server was very cute and sweet and she checked up on us plenty of times. She gave us recommendations on which dishes she liked and was quite friendly. The restaurant was pretty empty on a Saturday night and there was chatter here and there but it was generally pretty quiet. Overall this was a pleasant experience, although the entrees we ordered didn't really meet my expectations for authentic Japanese food.

Matsu is such a hidden gem in Huntington Beach! The food was fresh and delicious, and I loved the cozy, old-school Japanese atmosphere. We ended up sitting in the lounge area, which I thought was genius if you're just stopping by for a quick drink or a bite instead of wanting to wait for a table. It's such a nice option to still enjoy the food and atmosphere without committing to a full sit-down experience. read more
This review is for a recent dinner visit. I've dined here a few times over the years, and it's all been a pleasurable experience. I like the decor and vibes of the dining area. It has a bit more elegance than most other restaurants. They offer teppanyaki, which I haven't tried yet. There's also a small sushi bar and a regular bar with a bartender. For our latest dinner, I ordered a few pieces of sushi and the mixed sashimi appetizer, the poor man hand roll, and the everything roll. The fish tasted fresh and clean and was a good size. My family enjoyed their entrées such as the teriyaki chicken, mixed tempura, and more. All dinner entrées came with rice, cucumber salad, and a choice of miso soup or clam chowder. Kids' meals are limited to portions of beef or chicken teriyaki with rice, vegetables, and fruit. For beverages, there's a variety of specialty cocktails, beers, wines, sake, and more! The staff is kind and attentive, and many of the women wear kimonos to set the traditional mood. Other staff members quickly clear used plates. They even brought out dessert with candles and sang for the birthday celebrants, took a photo, and gave us a printout to take home. Matsu isn't one of my regular sushi spots, but every visit has been enjoyable, and I know the food and service will not disappoint. read more

We decided to give this place a try with our two adult kids, but unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing from start to finish. The service was poor right from the beginning. Our table was already too small for four people, yet they added two more seats, leaving us extremely cramped with barely any room to eat comfortably. Unfortunately, the food was just as disappointing. It seemed like the kitchen was rushing to finish for the night. The fried rice was very dry, undercooked, and lacked flavor, while the meats and vegetables were also undercooked. Overall, the quality of the meal was far below what we expected. I initially didn't want to make a big issue of it, but unfortunately, all of us became sick later that night. While I can't say with certainty that the food was the cause, the timing was certainly concerning. Based on our experience, I would not recommend this restaurant. Between the poor service, lack of attention to the dining experience, disappointing food quality, and what happened afterward, this was definitely not a place we would return to read more

Sashimi are always fresh and flavorful. The Pink Chi Chi is my favorite as always. We like to sit at the bar area (right side from entrance door). You can see the show and the amazing food smell from the Benihana style dining area. The staff are always nice and attentive. They also take pictures for your special occasions and give you cute souvenir prints :) read more

Had the sashimi salads tonight, additional order of salmon sashimi, anaconda roll and soft shell crab. Awesome service in the bar! Dark and comfortable and festive with the teppan tables near by, as usual . Those salads are pretty filling for the price and they don't skimp on the sashimi. All around one of our favorite places. read more

A restaurant that's been around for over 40 years and still maintained consistency is in itself a gem . I remember coming here with my parents as middle school aged kids and now coming back with them nearly 4 decades later and it's the same cozy place where a few dates of young adulthood happened and many family celebrations repeat. This time , as I am older , will try the bar area and teppan side . And sushi bar too . The server in kimonos are a classic and nostalgic. read more

We've been coming to Matsu for the past 10 years and the food always hit! Today was my sister's birthday and they brought out ice cream while singing happy birthday in Japanese. They also took a picture for us and printed it out! The crunchyroll here is my favorite out of all sushi spots. It doesn't have too much rice and the flavor is really balanced so you don't get tired of eating. We also ALWAYS get the volcano roll (baked scallops) and it's always the best. The sauce is thick and a little sweet, and they put on SO MUCH scallop. The tuna boat is pretty good too, it has a raw egg yolk on top and I really like the fatty-ness of it. My family also likes the monk fish liver so we always get it but it's just kinda thick and soft, with a subtle pasty flavor(?). read more

Tried the sushi bar. Lucky got 3 seats. No reservations taken. Excellent service and food. You get edamame and cucumber salad appetizers for free. Nice watermelon fruit treat at the end. They also have a sit down portion and Teppan part of the restaurant. This place hidden gem in a strip mall. Been there 40 years! read more

We RSVP'd here for Valentine's day and were seated in a quiet booth in the back room, which was really enjoyable. Lovely ambiance. Saw some waitresses dressed in their Japanese attire, cute. Our server was attentive and courteous. We got the Matsu Gondola Dinner (Combo boat) @$30/person. Was planning to order an additional side of sushi, but our waiter pointed out that the gondola dinner was large. He was right - we couldn't finish! Combo boat comes with salmon/chicken/beef teriyaki, shrimp/cucumber/yam tempura, sesame chicken, California rolls, and seasonal fruits (cantaloupe and grapes). Chicken teriyaki was a hit or miss; some pieces were dried while others were juicy and soft. Salmon and beef teriyaki tasted better. Sesame chicken was tender and crunchy. Combo boat came with soup, choices were miso, clam chowder, and one other that I cannot recall. Because it was Valentine, we also received complimentary chocolate dipped strawberries. Overall experience was great! Highly recommend. read more

With family members, Diane and I returned here--this time to try out the teppan grill. Both Miso Soup and Vegetable Soup were very good, and a Cucumber Salad with little pieces of shrimp was good and refreshing. A Rainbow Roll and a Spicy Tuna Roll were both cold and satisfying. And Shrimp Tempura featured golden and succulent battered shrimp. Grilled Appetizer Shrimps were larger than normally presented in other teppanyaki grills I have visited. Then the grill master prepared very tasty Fried Rice, followed by the usual vegetable suspects (White Onion, mushrooms, carrots, and Bean Sprouts). My medium rare Filet was served at the requested temperature, and grilled shrimp were big. My only gripe is that rather than giving me any remaining Bean Sprouts with my plate extended after Diane refused them, the grill master threw them away down the grill chute instead. That cost him an extra tip I customarily give to a grill master for excellent service. But the entire experience was still very good on the whole. XXXX-1/2 overall! read more

I went to Matsu tonight with a group of friends. We try and make this a yearly Welcoming to the Holidays gathering . The staff is incredibly friendly and they don't miss a trick ... They are very much on their game! The ambiance is festive and people are definitely enjoying themselves. The food is wonderful we all had Teppan and it was so fresh and cooked to perfection! The chef was fun and entertaining! Have you seen the butterfly ? Cute Thank you Matsu for another memorable evening. Ronnie read more

From start to finish the experience here was amazing, every single staff member here was extremely attentive. Everything was extremely clean and the inside looked straight from Japan. Hiro was our chef and he was phenomenal, would give us many options on how we wanted our sushi with patient explanations on each one. I am extremely impressed with his service and the amazing food quality. Definitely recommend the toro as well as the salmon sushi's. He even gave us soft shell crab and watermelon on the house. read more
Matsu has been around for decades and it is still busy with satisfied customers. The food is good not great with large portions and straight forward preparation. The prices have been kept reasonable. The cocktails are cheap by today's standards. Most of us shared a couple of their signature boats. They are loaded up with a variety of dishes so there is something for everyone. I started with a Mai Tai which tasted like Hawaiian Punch with some rum in it. Going to Matsu is a real Time Machine. This is not Michelin starred omakase. If you just want some basic Japanese cuisine at reasonable prices you should enjoy this place. read more

They do have baked and fried sushi rolls, you can see some on menu pics and some on other pictures of the sushi.
