" Delicious food and amazing service! This restaurant truly captures the essence of Japanese cuisine. The ramen had a rich, flavorful broth, and the pork was melt-in-your-mouth tender. Staff was attentive without being intrusive. A little on the pricier side, but so worth it for the quality! " (*Curated Review*)

" I want to love this place since it has great reviews, but unfortunately my experience was just average. The dishes were fine, but nothing really stood out. I didn’t have any complaints, but I was hoping for more excitement. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is an absolute gem! The sushi was some of the freshest I've ever tasted, and I loved the cozy feel of the restaurant. Our waitress was very attentive and even suggested some great choices for our meal. I will definitely be returning soon! Highly recommend the salmon sashimi! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was looking forward to trying Matsuba based on all the good reviews. However, I was left feeling underwhelmed. The sushi was decent, but I've had better at other places. It felt overpriced for what it was. The service was friendly but quite slow. Not sure if I'd return any time soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can honestly say this is the best sushi I’ve had in Boston! The freshness of the fish is unbeatable, and their special rolls are so creative. The staff truly knows their stuff and made fantastic recommendations. The only downside was how busy it was, but we didn't have to wait long for a table. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been to Matsuba several times, and each visit has been fantastic. The portion sizes are generous for the price, especially the bento boxes. The staff is always friendly and helpful. However, last night it felt a little noisy, which made conversation difficult. Still, I will keep coming back for the food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm not usually a big fan of sushi, but I was really impressed by Matsuba. The rolls were perfectly sized and bursting with flavor. The unique combinations made dining here a special experience. The crowd might be a bit overwhelming at times, but that’s a sign of good food! " (*Curated Review*)
