    Visiting Seattle for the first time and we were looking for a Japanese restaurant to try. We were so pleased with the food and service. I highly recommend dining here for a date night or group meal.

    Matsu is our go-to spot for a pregame meal. Yesterday was super busy day before the Seahawk's SNF game, but as always, the service was great and we really appreciated the prompt service. Another great team!!!

    Food and drinks were super good. The service was also great. Only negative was it was cold inside the restaurant and outside. Perfect proximity to walking to the stadium. Gave us a birthday dessert for my husband.
