Reviews Summary
Matsu Sushi generally receives praise for its high-quality, fresh sushi and sashimi, as well as its pleasant atmosphere with private booth seating. However, some diners have noted that the restaurant can be expensive for the portion sizes, and a few have experienced inconsistent service or encountered issues with vegetarian/vegan options and dish staggering.
"The staff are so lovely, attentive and friendly. The seating is semi-private and offers so amazing booths. Food is excellent. I always enjoy the fresh sushi offerings. I love sharing with the people I am with."

"First time visit probably will be a last too. Just moved to east city May 2nd.
I paid $45.60 for 12 pieces of rolls, 6 salmon sushi(that tasted like soap or cleaning chemicals) and 2 miso soup that were in very small containers. I'm not satisfied at all. I could have done "all you can eat" for 40$ at madoi. I know sushi isn't cheap I order alot. I also know that this place is "Al a carte" but this is unnecessary to say the least. I can pay $50 and Go to Durham and get 2× the amount I got from this place. I waited 20 mins for my food when the restaurant had all but 2 tables empty. I also want to bring up that they aren't willing to accomodate you, if you want to upgrade something or substitute for something else even offering more money to get what I want, well they're answer everytime was no sorry we can't do that. There are definitely better places out there, save your money.
Thank you but no thank you."
