    Lovely meal as always. Requests were politely and promptly honored even on a busy night. Jessica was clearly busy but took care of everything. Food was good as always, hard to beat for the price in Seattle.

    The food at Matsu is great. While we had made reservations, a sudden surge in visitors made the wait for a table longer than expected.

    We were a bit disappointed with Matsu. We ordered off of the happy hour menu. The sushi on the happy hour menu is TINY--maybe half the size of normal sushi. The fish was excellent, but the rice wasn't cooked enough. My husband thought the oyster part of the fried oysters was excellent but was critical of how thick the breading was. My tempura had a nice selection, but the shrimp were tiny and the lightness of the tempura just wasn't there. Service was friendly and professional.
