    One of the best dining experiences! The food presentation and quality were INCREDIBLE. The flow of every employee that stopped by made it evident that they are all in sync with each other!

    We come here quite a bit and have dined at multiple locations across the world. The food was not up to the typical standards we expect from a high end sushi restaurant. Had a $700 dinner for two people and the nigiri was dried out and seemed old, also had a bad oyster on the appetizer. Appetizers were mediocre

    I was so excited to celebrate my wife's birthday at Matsuhisa! She and I both love Japanese and Matsuhisa looks great online. When we walked in we were so pleased by the wonderful mix of old and modern, and everyone looked like they were having a great time. The manager welcomed us. The hostess walked us back... right next to the bathroom. Not good. I was in a coat and tie and my wife in a beautiful dress. So bad start, but the place was so nice and at first we didn't realize that we were the table closest to the bathroom until the traffic lane got busy. So we ordered. The waitress was good and helped us with the menu. We are very experienced Japanese food eaters - from San Francisco to Korea to New York. Their menu is somewhat custom for some of the special dishes they have - which is great but it is helpful to have someone guide. Mainly we enjoyed what we had except for the huge pile of arugula that was supposed to be a salad. Otherwise portions were sadly very small. So we're sitting there with this huge pile of salad and a few other starter dishes and I was eager for the Miso Black Cod to finally arrive. Just before serving it the attendant rushes over and clears all the side dishes away! What! They serve the fish with no side dishes. Ok the fish was good - not as good as in Oahu, but ok. It would have been more enjoyable if we could have eaten our other food with it - fail. Overall totally ho-hum and sub-par experience. Not going back. We both enjoyed our cocktails from the bar - nice job. Forget to mention the $55 for parking in the garage for a couple hours - no validation offered.

    Was good as it usually is but the quality seems to have dropped a bit and meal was a bit rushed. Felt like the volume through the restaurant has decreased the quality and special experience of it.

    Food was good quality, but not special. Improperly trained servers compared to past experiences. Disjointed teams and robotic explanations of dishes . Wanted it to be special, it just wasn’t.

    Went to Matsuhisa for our anniversary. Food & service was excellent, as usual. The sea bass with balsamic teriyaki was delicious!
