" I visited Matsu on a whim and was blown away by the attentive service and breathtaking ambiance. Each course of the omakase menu was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. I can't stop thinking about the pork belly dish—it was melt-in-your-mouth tender! Highly recommend making reservations well in advance. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations based on the reviews, but the omakase menu didn't quite meet them. While some dishes were fantastic, others fell flat and felt overly complex in the flavors. The atmosphere is very nice, though, and the service is impeccable. " (*Curated Review*)
