ever craved for a rockstar or a playboy? try matsu sushi, and you will... of all the restaurants i go to i wonder why not so many people come here compared to others. the price is comparable to other japanese, and the lunch bento (or combo meal) is simply superb in the value vs. price category! you know that their vegetable tempura's were carefully cut and prepared by good chefs. (i had been to some japanese restaurants where it seems like they just threw in and cut whatever veggies were in their kitchen). they're just the right size and crunch, not soggy nor too oily, and i can say the same about their shrimp tempura's, sushi, and entree's (except for one time i ordered a to go and the rice was
flooded w/ teriyaki sauce). i also tried another japanese resto that had all-you-can-eat that was cheaper, matsu's is only $5 more, but don't save on that price difference, you'll get a lot more in taste and satisfaction; every sushi i have had in this place has been consistent. i've also been to a much more expensive japanese resto in town, nope, you don't need to spend the extra dollars for a good japanese meal or dining experience. if ever you go for lunch, try the bento or luxury bento. for all-you-can-eat sushi, try playboy and las vegas.
