I have tried plenty of good sushi, but this one stands out. The fried shrimp shumai is excellent, although steamed might simply come down to preference. The place itself is small, but very quaint and pleasant, with two outdoor tables. It's relatively inexpensive compared to other spots that charge a lot for not-so-great sushi, while this place delivers genuinely outstanding quality.

Service was quick and friendly, they went out of their way to accommodate us even though you could tell they were doing a lot of to go orders. Everything came out on paper plates with plastic cutlery and wooden chopsticks which was honestly fine by us, easy clean up for them and a casual night out for us. We were checked in on frequently and the staff made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our sushi, plus a few nice little extra touches like extra wasabi, etc. Everything was fresh and tasty and came out quickly and accurately. A solid sushi spot if you're in the area and have a craving.

The music was largely generic thumping & too loud. One of our two appetizers didn't come out; it arrived well after the first and only after a reminder. Our main courses were extremely delayed. I understand it was a Saturday night on Labor Day weekend -- it was busy -- but this isn't their first rodeo. The worst part was the gnocchi: tough, chewy & apparently overcooked...or perhaps a victim of sitting too long under warming lights. All was not lost, despite the problems. The wedge salad was very good, as was the burger. We've thought of Cowfish as a solid go-to in Hampton Bays. We hope this evening was just an aberration.

The inside of this space feels very sleek and high end. There's a nice bar and tables in front, as well as a few hibachi tables in the back. The menu here is extensive and truly a fusion of Asian cuisines. Can't decide behind Chinese, Thai, or Japanese food? At Tony's you can have it all. I had been under the weather the previous week, so I opted for some hot and sour soup to kick things off and it was the exact cure I needed. Hot and sour and chock full of mushrooms, it really hit the spot. The pork dumplings were decent as well, and the chicken lettuce wraps were fresh and crisp. I ordered tea as well which came in a kettle and was perfectly brewed. We also tried the Massaman curry which had just the right amount of spice and sweetness to it. This place is pricey, but the portions were huge, so I couldn't even be mad. The service was a bit slow, but again, willing to overlook that if the food is good (which it was). If you've been avoiding this place due to bad reviews, I would say you should reconsider.

A lot of people don't know that Matsulin is open for lunch, but whenever I come through Hampton Bays around lunch time, I like to stop here. They offer lunch specials between 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. (I think) that run between $8-11 and are fresh and fantastic. The dishes are unusual, there's a lot of variety, and the food is fabulous. I've never tried the dinner menu, but lunch is always a treat! I also have to compliment the servers (always attentive and on top of their game) and the ambiance, which is serene and beautiful. If you haven't tried Matsulin, you're missing out! read more

The food here is d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s!!! They do an amazing job with many of the asian dishes even though the menu is diverse. They offer Japanese, Malaysian, Thai, Vietnamese and Chinese dishes rarely offered at other restaurants. Some of these dishes are perfectly done like the miso soup, the Roti Canai (Malaysian pancakes), the Miso Seabass, or the chicken or shrimp Ayam. Try the fired bananas for dessert. It is simply scrumptious! The service can be slow at times, but the great delicious food more than makes up for service. read more

We went to Matsulin with some Japanese family members last night to have a family night out. The food was wonderful. The tea is a favorite and quite tasty and the presentation of the food makes it a special night out. The ambiance is nice and light and it is a great place for a quiet conversation and some restorative nourishment. The service is quite good usually, and even though the building is an old bank building, it is quite a nice place. The food was very fresh. Thanks Matsulin ! read more

The room was appropriately lit- darker than it appeared from outside but it was nice- I hate brightly lit dining rooms. Tables were lit well from above. I sat at the bar, next to the sushi bar- no seating directly at the sushi bar- boo!!! I asked for a beer and got one. It was cool but not warm- another no-no. Maybe it's because it was 80° inside... I ordered a sushi special- 8 pieces of nigiri and the fish was perfect. Price was right too. Prior, I was also served standard duck sauce and Asian chips, a nice touch.

The prices here seem to incrementally increase, but the food is still relatively inexpensive and it is exactly what you think it is. Get: The shrimp egg rolls here are old school, loaded with shrimp and quite tasty. Meh: The hot and sour soup is loaded with stuff (mushrooms, tofu, egg, bamboo shoots, what I think is pork), but it's not really hot or sour and it has too much corn starch. I'd probably try something else next time. I ordered the General Tso's chicken because of someone else's review, and it was fine. But again, I'd probably try something else next time. It was loaded with crisp, not overcooked broccoli (yay!) and the texture was good. But again, not spicy. There was an overabundance of corn starch and sweetness, but it held up well for leftovers. I will definitely work my way around this menu and find my favorites. This place has been around forever but I hadn't tried it before. I like that they don't give you a thousand plastic utensils. You pick up sauces at a side counter and there are chopsticks in the drawers. There are no tables to eat inside, but you can take it home or eat in the park nearby. If you call ahead, your order will be ready by the time you arrive and identified by your phone number. Cash only.
