| - GINGER MILK DESSERT SOLD OUT by 8pm on a Friday night. NOT ACCEPTABLE! Don't charge a premium for specialty items that are only available on Fridays to Sundays, then tell me you're sold out. I know it's just one item but it happened to be the MAIN item I was looking forward to. Just demonstrates poor management and preparation. The server told me it's a very popular item and that's why it's sold out already. Matsuda isn't a new establishment, they should have known to stock up on it or have a contingency plan. I am really disappointed because Matsuda has always been one of my favourite AYCE sushi places and in honesty, one of the better AYCE sushi restaurants out there (reason why it's not 1 star). However, factoring in the cost ($35.99 for teppanyaki), the slow service, and this incident makes me feel like it's time to look for other options or just stick to a la carte.
Food: 3 stars
Came here for teppanyaki with friends but actually not a big fan of it (good if you're an avid carnivore). Though I will admit the meat was pretty good overall for AYCE. The ribeye steak was a but of a hit-and-miss. I had one really good piece, then the others were a not as tender but still good. Chicken was WAY better the last time I was here. Not sure what happened. Didn't eat that much sushi since the teppanyaki part is quite filling. Chopped ika sushi is pretty good. Sashimi was good but the sweet shrimp and beef tataki were still kind of frozen and we had to wait to let it thaw a bit. Squid sashimi was unique. It comes coiled around some cucumber but I don't really like the slimy texture too much. I heard praise of their steamed egg from a co-worker but didn't try it.
Ambiance: 3 stars
Only been to this location for teppanyaki so I've never sat around the rest of the restaurant but overall, it's pretty noisy (very busy on the weekends). Teppanyaki area is nice and everyone gets front row seats to the chef but it's hard to really share sushi and other items in that layout.
Service: 2 stars
They need to hire a hostess. I've been to this location only twice but both times, there was no one at the door to greet me or even just get me to my reserved table. I always had to wait and eventually get fed up with waiting and wave down a waitress who will then go get someone else to come help me.
Our server who took our order and the teppanyaki chef were pleasant enough. Orders do take a while to come but like I said, it's busy, so I'm sure they're trying to get stuff out asap...or they're just understaffed (an extra hostess???).
