This review is for a recent dinner visit. I've dined here a few times over the years, and it's all…read morebeen a pleasurable experience. I like the decor and vibes of the dining area. It has a bit more elegance than most other restaurants. They offer teppanyaki, which I haven't tried yet. There's also a small sushi bar and a regular bar with a bartender. For our latest dinner, I ordered a few pieces of sushi and the mixed sashimi appetizer, the poor man hand roll, and the everything roll. The fish tasted fresh and clean and was a good size. My family enjoyed their entrées such as the teriyaki chicken, mixed tempura, and more. All dinner entrées came with rice, cucumber salad, and a choice of miso soup or clam chowder. Kids' meals are limited to portions of beef or chicken teriyaki with rice, vegetables, and fruit. For beverages, there's a variety of specialty cocktails, beers, wines, sake, and more! The staff is kind and attentive, and many of the women wear kimonos to set the traditional mood. Other staff members quickly clear used plates. They even brought out dessert with candles and sang for the birthday celebrants, took a photo, and gave us a printout to take home. Matsu isn't one of my regular sushi spots, but every visit has been enjoyable, and I know the food and service will not disappoint.

They are so fast!! Always ready within minutes of our calling in the order. There isn't anything here we weren't happy about trying~ EVERYTHIBG tried so far have all been delicious. Appetizer staples are definitely the crispy rice (DONT FORGET TO CHECK FOR their magical tasty sauces like the SPICY MAYO EEL SAUCE) Our takeout is prepared well and I don't always check for utensils, so if needed, check, as I don't always get them but no biggie- The sauces though, can't forget the sauces. Of their soups, we always enjoy the udon, and the black ramen best so far. One of these times we need to dine in for the full experience. It's a very welcoming atmosphere. Staff are always kind and helpful. I'm sure we will be back again sooner than later.

It's a really cool street vendor Japan vibe with the decor. We ordered the Vegas Roll, the Edamame and the Black Ramen. Last time I came here years ago the food was okay but nothing spectacular. The Vegas roll was arguably one of the best sushi rolls I've ever had in my entire life and the ramen was the type you finish the entire bowl broth included. Last time I came the Chashu was chewy but they must've figured it out because it was super tender this time. In addition they have awesome drink deals including first Sapporo draft 99 cents and then 2.99 for each one after. Highly highly recommend this place and will be coming back frequently. The front man (I assume owner/manager) was also supper attentive and nice. 10/10

They do this near the end of the month on Mondays. Unfortunately, this is their 3rd to last event as they're going to be doing some restructuring. The staff was very nice and accommodating. Drinks were flowing and the sashimi was non-stop. Nigiri and handrolls were also delicious and I ate until I was close to puking. It was super cool to be able to cut into the fresh fish from Mexico. It's definitely tougher than it looks. I always thought it would be easy to cut like butter, but definitely takes a lot of strength and skill. There were other tasty tuna dishes like the miso soup, salad and crispy tuna steak. I recommend sitting at the bar so you can see Chef Yamasaki cut the fish in the front row seats. It was cool to taste the varying levels of fatness of the fish. The super chutoro was practically butter. They also offered tuna to go at $50/lb. Definitely worth it. The venue is their regular restaurant but with more tables in the middle. A little loud but definitely a fun time. There were 3 birthdays too! We had ice cream mochi for dessert and there were strawberry cakes for the birthday girls. We averaged about $170 after tip and it was worth every penny.

The set is a lot of food though; both my husband and I were stuffed by the end of it. A must if you're looking for high quality sushi in HB.

They check in just enough to make sure you have everything you need while still letting you enjoy your meal. The quality of the meat is consistently great, especially considering the prices.

Momonoki has been on my list of restaurants to try since it first opened and I'm so happy I finally…read moregot to go this weekend! We went on Friday night and I was surprised that we were seated right away. The service was great and friendly and the restaurant itself felt cozy and high-end. We ordered the garlic parm fries, momonoki chicken wings, and dashi pesto. The garlic parm fries were crispy and fresh and were like the best version of a McDonald's or Potato Corner fry. I could smell the garlic as soon as the fries came to the table but unfortunately, the taste wasn't as strong as I was hoping. Still really delicious, but the high price point means I probably wouldn't order this again. The chicken wings came out next and they were HUGE. They were super juicy inside and the fish sauce glaze was strong and had a nice kick. I appreciated that despite being glazed, the wings were still pretty crispy. The slaw that came on the size was a little heavy on the mayo and had a bright peppery taste. Definitely a nice fresh component to an otherwise heavy meal. Finally, the dashi pesto came out and the udon was perfectly bouncy. The pesto had a subtle seafood flavor and was very herbaceous. Most pesto I'm used to pack more of a sharp, garlicky punch, but this one leaned heavily into the fresh basil which I enjoyed. The scallops on top were also cooked beautifully. I was a bit sad that we received each dish at very different times, the dash pasta coming out much much later than the fries but they did warn us after we placed our order that the kitchen would be very busy so I appreciated the heads up. All in all, I think this is such a fun and classy fusion restaurant and they executed very well.

I'm sorry, I hate to give a review like this!!…read more So we made a raise reservation to this place and really did have high hopes, it's an OK looking spot inside nothing really special so the ambience is OK. Not to be a hater. It's just nothing special. The service: the service was a bit of a mix, a girl came up to us. She was kind and the moment that she was at our table. It was nice, the part where it got difficult for me was, Juan it's a bit disorganized, most sushi spots are gonna have maybe a QR code that'll just go to their webpage and you can order from there or they will have one paper that has everything on it so that it makes everything easier for the customer. This place had three pages, with only writing on the front and it was extremely confusing plus if you finished and wanted to order again, but the other one hasn't come out then you have to wait for that one to come out. What really bothered me was we didn't necessarily order a lot but it was still taking 1520 minutes for one order of sushi to come out and we had no heads up on what was going on and it was taking a while for someone to even come and tell us what was going on. There wasn't very many people there when we first got there and yet it was still taking a long time for us to get our food. The food: the sushi was OK, I have to be very fair because I've been to plenty of sushi spots. I've been to some that are good and some that are bad and so unfortunately, yes, you can tell the difference. I'm not saying this place is bad, I'm saying it's OK. What really got me was more the service and the wait time and unfortunately, the sushi. I really hope this place stepped it up because I can see the potential and I know a lot of people will just go to any all. You can eat sushi spot, but I have to be fair to every other sushi spot as well. I feel like
