" 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*)
