" Had a mixed experience at Matsuba. The ambiance is nice, and the sushi is well-prepared, but the portion sizes felt small for the price. The staff was friendly, but a bit nonchalant during service. I'd give it another chance, but I wasn't blown away. " (*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*)
