Sushi Matsu — Restaurant in Richmond

Haven't been here since they changed ownership and name which was about two years now, maybe more. Went here on ac Friday night about an hour and a half to closing. The place wasn't packed but we still waited about 10 minutes for a table to be cleared. Food was just okay. We got the chicken kara-age to start which was pretty good. We then got the lion king roll and godzilla roll. The godzilla roll was just okay. I didn't quite like that it had imitation crab for the price. The fake crab made the roll taste cheap and not very appetizing. The lion king roll was kind of small in size but it tasted ok. They didn't broil the top to give it that roasted salmon taste. We then got a curry tonkatsu don. In all honesty, the curry was not good. I think I would have done better with one of those Japanese curry blocks and made it at home. The curry didn't look appetizing at all, it looked like they added a lot of corn starch to thicken it up and you could see the lumpyness of the sauce. We also had a bento box with california roll and sashimi. This was good but the rice was not fresh at all and was kind of dry and hard. We also had a bowl of beef upon. This was I think the most impressive of all our dishes. There was alot of beef and noodles and a good amount of veggies. The soup had a lot of msg though so it made me very thirsty afterwards. I think in the future I would just get the...

What a cute cosy spot in El Cerrito. We were staying with friends and this place is literally 5min walk from the house :) I was craving some miso soup so just walked there! Super convenient.

Place is very cosy. Service is friendly and warm and bathrooms are very clean :) me happy!

I went there with my 4 years old daughter and they were so thoughtful to bring complimentary edamame for her :)

We enjoyed our bento boxes which came with miso soup, rice, salad orange slice and mine had 2 different sushi choices and for my child i ordered shrimp tempura and chicken teriyaki. Lots of leftovers which we happily took home :)

They also gave me complimentary sweets for my child at the end but I declined since we don't do sugar but again, very thoughtful :)

A beautiful experience I recommend to everyone who enjoys...

Literally my favorite sushi place in the bay area. Found it because my partner only likes deep fried sushi rolls and for some reason couldn’t go to the place we usually went to. (Since visiting here she’s branched out into more adventurous options). Their deep fried options are amazing, but that’s not surprising because everything is. There are two full pages of different rolls on their menu so you’ll definitely be able to find a combination of ingredients you’ll enjoy. The fish is all fresh AF, whether raw or cooked, and at an amazing price. I’ve found the value unbeatable to be completely honest. Literally have not found anything wrong with this place at all. They even have a reward club for a frequent visitors. It’s perfect and i will keep coming back for as long as i live in...
