| - Matsuda has a dim light setting inside the restaurant. The decor and set up was pretty nice. They also have a private seating area with bigger tables which is more suitable for bigger parties and groups.
For an AYCE, the menu selection is not that big. At least sushi wise, there wasn't too big of a variety to choose from. Portions are very small and cute if you like that. All of the chef specials were pretty good, so I would highly recommend those. Those include the mango, volcano, sunshine and green dragon rolls. Other appetizers and dishes are decent. Their salad dressing is a peanut sauce, which, if you don't like things too savoury, it might not be your best bet.
Also, if you are going with kids or in general, beware of the unagi (eel) roll/sushi! I, myself don't do well with bones in my food. I almost shocked on my sushi. I know in some places there may be super tiny bone(s) left in the piece of meat, but it was still do-able. There was a LOT! of bones in these ones. They were long and a little hard. Had to even hand pick them out before eating. Tried voicing our opinions/comments to the restaurant but how they explained it was that, there's always bones in eels and they are hard to handle, so we just have to be careful and deal with it. Well..if they said so. I've ate sushi a lot and that never happened so...whatever you said!
I went to Markham/Scarborough location and remembered that their mousse shots were really good! So I was very excited for them here. Tried one of each at this location and not sure if its because it was a while ago, they don't taste the same. Instead of having a more fluffy texture to them, it felt very thick, like a blob of cream. Flavour wise, they are pretty artificial. My favourite was the chocolate custard cream pudding. BUT! Be sure to stir it up before you eat it! Otherwise, it really would be a blob of cream!
