    Went for the omakase and had a terrible experience with it. Out of all of the omakase I’ve had this was the worst and still one of the more expensive dinners I’ve had. It had the same fish that you usually get with it but all of it was fishy, bitter and chewy so just over all not good. I will say that their sushi rolls were fine if that is what you are going for.

    Visiting Seattle for the first time and we were looking for a Japanese restaurant to try. We were so pleased with the food and service. I highly recommend dining here for a date night or group meal.

    Matsu is our go-to spot for a pregame meal. Yesterday was super busy day before the Seahawk's SNF game, but as always, the service was great and we really appreciated the prompt service. Another great team!!!

    Food and drinks were super good. The service was also great. Only negative was it was cold inside the restaurant and outside. Perfect proximity to walking to the stadium. Gave us a birthday dessert for my husband.
