I've
been
coming
here
since
before
the
pandemic
and
things
have
definitely
changed
up.
Before,
I'd
probably
have
given
Matsuda
5
stars
-
that's
how
much
I
enjoyed
the
unique
AYCE
sushi
and
teppanyaki
experience.
But
there
are
definitely
some
things
that
have
changed
for
the
worse.
First
off,
I
don't
think
I
would
ever
come
here
for
just
sushi
AYCE.
Since
the
teppanyaki
option
comes
with
AYCE
sushi,
we
did
try
a
small
selection
of
the
sushi
menu
while
the
chef
was
getting
ready.
I
didn't
love
anything
we
ordered
-
the
torched
salmon,
unagi
sushi
and
green
dragon
roll
all
had
crazy
amounts
of
rice.
Like
25%
more
rice
than
I'm
used
to
in
a
bite.
It
simply
did
not
taste
good.
The
sashimi
was
decent
for
AYCE
but
not
as
fresh
as
I
remember.
The
teppanyaki
part
was
still
a
treat
and
I
have
fewer
complaints
about
that.
As
always
the
chef
is
professional
and
skilled
and
will
cook
the
food
properly.
They
have
changed
up
the
menu
a
bit,
since
I
don't
remember
tofu
or
short
ribs
ever
being
part
of
the
teppanyaki
set.
I
didn't
particularly
enjoy
either
of
the
additions.
But
my
favorites
(as
always),
were
the
chicken,
sirloin
steak,
shrimp
and
salmon.
They
do
try
to
fill
you
up
on
larger
quantities
of
the
(in
my
opinion)
cheaper
foods,
such
as
the
white
fish
and
fried
rice.
I
did
end
up
ordering
seconds
of
my
favorites
but
was
genuinely
too
full
to
enjoy
it
from
the
amount
of
rice
in
my
sushi
earlier.
One
thing
I'll
note
that
was
better
this
time
-
the
service
was
actually
quite
prompt
and
accurate.
A
lot
of
reviews
say
the
service
isn't
good
but
I
found
it
very
pleasant
when
considering
the
number
of
people
that
were
dining
the
day
I
went.
Finally,
price
-
it's
now
$44
a
person
on
weekdays
and
even
more
for
weekends.
That's
crazy!
I
definitely
cannot
justify
that
based
on
the
amount
I
can
eat.
I
could
pay
under
$50
and
get
a
better
a
la
carte
experience
elsewhere.
Do
not
come
to
Matsuda
expecting
to
eat
your
money's
worth
-
you're
paying
for
the
experience,
which
I
admit
is
worth
a
bit
in
itself.
There
is
a
10%
cash
discount
so
it
ended
up
being
$51
pp
including
the
automatic
service
charge
and
tax.
The
discount
is
very
nice
so
I'd
recommend
bringing
cash.
I'd
also
recommend
making
a
reservation
if
you
come
near
a
holiday
or
weekend,
as
it
was
a
quoted
45
min
wait
for
AYCE
sushi
tables
and
I
doubt
any
walk-ins
were
available
for
teppanyaki
when
we
arrived.
Edit:
Also
want
to
mention,
please
tip
your
teppanyaki
chef
if
you
enjoyed
their
service!
