Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Matsu offers a beautiful dining atmosphere with standout service and a diverse menu. Reviewers praise the "stunning venue" and "delicious happy hour menu." While some sushi dishes have received mixed feedback, many patrons enjoy the flavorful options, especially the "pioneer square roll" and sashimi. Great for pre-game dining and special occasions.

    I feel this place is not like an authentic Japanese restaurant. The food is ok not great. Price, service and environment are great.

    Servers were super nice. We only ate sushi but I thought the fish was bland. There was a long hair on my dish when it was delivered so they took it back and prepared a new one, however it took forever. My partner was basically done with her meal before mine came out. The dessert was fantastic (and comped due to the hair), fried green tea ice cream. Disposable chopsticks felt a bit trashy considering the price point of the restaurant. Food safety rating is currently only “good.” The dining room was less than half full but the sound was loud and echoey. We would only go back if my partner craves the dessert again. Lots of better sushi options in Seattle.

    Worst service I’ve had in years. Server is MIA. Noisy as hell. Wouldn’t recommend for anyone that wants to enjoy a meal with their company. Wasn’t just us, saw most tables dealing with missed deliveries and general lack of service. Food wasn’t bad but certainly didn’t make up for the awful parts. Fix your service

    Didn’t like the order they serve food. Roles shouldn’t come out before nigiri and sashimi. Sari isn’t cooked well. Sari was too much on nigiri. Yellow tail was too fishy. Fried oyster was also too fishy and not crunch and fries weren’t cooked well and too thick. I personally don’t understand why they make like 10-12 pieces of a roll. Hard to feel the entire texture and flavor of each ingredient in rolls.
