Matsuyama Restaurant — Restaurant in Stockton

Matsuyama Restaurant has changed my attitude about Shusi. The first time i ever tried Shusi it was the worst thing i had ever put in my mouth and believe me people I have had some bad stuff. I will allways give something a try 1 time before I say iI don't like it but somehow 2 of my sisters talked me into trying it again. when I first walked in to Matsuyama Restaurant we were quickly greeted by a friendly looking person that showed us to our seats, we were given menu's and told someon would take our order soon. big supprise to me less that five minutes to study the menu, so my food was ordered for me. When the food arrived it was so good looking it seemed a shame to mess the plate up. with great caution i put a peice of Volcano Roll in my mouth and slowly began to chew and was I in for a giant food awakening. there was an explosion of flavor that so great I could not belive it, I ate my Volcano Roll down before i knew it, and was wanting more. With just the right amount of spice, sauce, roe, and raw sea food Matsuyama Restaurant really changed my mind about Sushi. If you dont give it a try you are only doing yourself...

This place is great for a variety of Japanese cuisine beyond Sushi. The cooking was perfect and flavors were excellent.

I got the Tempura Entree and a Dinner Bento Combo.

Tempura was crunchy, plenty of shrimp, and good vegetable variety. The Bento was Beef Teriyaki, California Roll, and Salmon Teriyaki. Beef was perfectly cooked, nice grill marks, tender, and delicious. Salmon was the same: Grilled to perfection, not too fishy, and so tasty. California roll had no problems at all. Tasty and filling.

I REALLY appreciate the slight under salting. That is always great because you will always get soy sauce to adjust it to your personal taste.

Also, just letting things have their natural flavor is usually the best course of action. There is no need to drown things in salt. Even the Teriyaki was subtle and the flavors of the Beef and Salmon were all there.

Finally, I called in my order and was told 20 minutes. I arrived in 10 and it was just getting placed on the To Go counter.

No complaints. Delicious, perfectly cooked, speedy and...

I've been to a lot of sushi places but this one has probably been one of the worst I've been to. I don't mean to say that my experience was horrible, moreso that almost every sushi place I've been to in stockton has had better sushi.

Why? Two reasons.

When I got my rolls, I found that many of the ingredients did not taste fresh

2.The service left a lot to be desired. I had to manually call the waitress to my table every time I wanted anything.

However, it wouldn't be fair to say that this place is all bad - the food came out relatively fast and the pricing for most of the rolls is pretty decent, although it is sushi we're talking about here.

All in all, there are better places in stockton to go for sushi. Jimmy's and Sushi Hub do a much better job and also has prices competitive...
