Matsuya and Western style food hall — Restaurant in Douliu City

This restaurant is high class and very expensive, so I would reserve a visit for special occasions such as a graduation dinner, an engagement dinner, an anniversary dinner, or birthday dinner. I engaged in a Japanese riori food trek across Douliu City over three weeks, and this traditional Japanese restaurant was the most expensive of all six I tried. The food was excellent, the wait staff was very attentive and diligent explaining every item of interest on the menu, and was very patient with our deliberations. He was a very young spectacled gentleman wearing a black polo shirt and black jeans. He perceived we were first timers, so he spent a long time highlighting the featured menu items, and even introduced us to their daily fresh shipment from Japan which we ordered. The food was excellent to my palate, and the soft shelled crab battleship boat was amazing. This is my pick for the number one, best authentic tasting Japanese restaurant in Douliu City. My favorite was the authentic lobster hand rolls and seaweed wrapped...

Waitresses and waiter all need training. We have two people with special diet, waitresses and waiter even didn’t introduce the meal carefully when they were serving. When we found there’s something wrong about the food, we asked the waitress who took our order earlier about the meal, but she was not so kind.(she even recommended us if we have special diet, we should choose the vegan food. But why?!) If you have special diet, and look for better service, please choose another better restaurant. Me and my friends have bad...

food: mediocre, no surprise, some dishes are bland. At this price, they should serve FRESH wasabi, not some cheapo artificial wasabi that you can get at ur local grocery stores.

Service: polite, BUT don't expect much from em. Waiters/waitresses need SERIOUS training. Waiters/waitresses need SERIOUS training. Waiters/waitresses need SERIOUS training.

Bottom line: if u want to try out so called "Douliu's most famous Japanese-food-wanna-be restaurant" go ahead, be my guest..

Note: The parking lot lady can use some manner...
