Sushi
Pure Sushi at Matsuoka features a dazzling menu of select top-grade fresh fish, prepared artistically — deliciously, all in the Japanese way. Notable mentions are outlined in a creative rolls section atop the menu; among them:

Shiokaze - jumbo shrimp tempura, spicy bluefin tuna, real snow crab, crunchy eggplant

Sazanami - real crab, wild salmon sashimi, asparagus, avocado, fire-flamed wild salmon, crispy sweet potato

Hibiki - fresh soft-shell crab (age-kani), spicy bluefin tuna, real snow crab, avocado, cucumber, organic soy paper, lemon, organic ponzu

In Tokyo, many of the best restaurants sit packed, one upon another — located in unassuming locations, like subways. Much in the same way, Pure Sushi at Matsuoka is a special experience housed inside of The Yasai. imagined by the King of Convoy himself, acclaimed chef Junya Watanabe.

    The sushi was very good and bento boxes featured a nice variety of products. However, the fact that we did not get our first appetizer sushi for 50 minutes and main bento course for 80 minutes means this will be the last time we go to Matsuoka. It is basically a 1 man show preparing sushi not only for the Matsuoka section of the restaurant, but also the other sections of the "food court" (Raki Raki, Yasai, etc.). While I applaud the chef for trying to keep up and insisting on the highest quality presentation, he is set up for failure in this situation.

    Noisy, dirty, soup was lukewarm, took a very long time for food to be delivered. Overall, not a restaurant I would recommend.

    I received an email for the new sushi restaurant and was looking forward to the experience. The location has four different restaurants under one roof. 1.vegan sushi 2. Ramen 3. Sushi 4.a fried chicken menu. When we ordered sushi, our very harried server said it would be at least one hour before our food arrived since there was only one sushi chef. The noise level is deafening so i did not want to linger. My husband ordered chicken katsu and i had the fried chicken fingers with french fries and slaw. The food was good but i came for sushi and got fried chicken. This place is packed and is for a younger crowd. If you enjoy dining out, this is NOT for you.

    Restaraunt has different name than listed here. So it's hard to find. Hostess says they don't use open table? So reservation was not honored but they bumped us up on the wait list. Food was great but we ended up canceling most of it due to time. We waited just over an hour for our sushi to come out before giving up and leaving. It was also very cold inside. Server was kind at the table but they gossip about customers by the host stand pretty often. Heard them as we were walking in and leaving.

    Horrible. This place shares dining with the yasai restaurant. Limited seating because the restaurant is small and they share customers not limited because of Covid seating. They don’t care. They give you menu to this restaurant, the yasai,& rakiraki . There was only one chef working for matsuoka but they share the same kitchen with the other two restaurants mentioned. Upon being seated we were told it’ll take at least an hr to get our food. We didn’t think it would be a problem… of course on a hot day they also didn’t have AC running….So I can smell the next tables customers body odor. Employees were sweating. I felt bad for their working conditions. Once we received our meals, it definitely did not taste like a premium price. It borderlines to grocery bought sushi / grocery store front sushi spots. I would not come back or recommend it. Honestly bad experience
