Jay MandelFebruary 26, 2017Reasonable & fresh... a good neighborhood option. Sushi deluxe has more exotic fish than most. Cute decor. Friendly staff. I was going to mention the smell of moth balls first until I ate the fish.

Matsu is a good option for the mid-priced range sushi places on the upper east side. Hidden away bet. 1st and York. Lot of creative and interesting rolls. The sushi by piece is pretty good as well.Upvote3Downvote
YanaBelle WaveMay 6, 2014I ordered for take out the salmon salsa roll, dragon roll and king crab roll. All were great when compared to sushi places I've tried for take out in BK. Therefore I'd give them 3/12 stars. Try it!

Ask for a sauce recommendation. The owner, Gary, has tons of custom made sauces that he uses in a lot of the rolls (like the Sex on the Beach and Manhattan rolls). EVERYTHING is good here!Upvote1Downvote- The spicy salmon and spicy tuna rolls are made to perfection. Smooth and silky, the way it's supposed to be!
UpvoteDownvote - Very nice sushi place with pictures of customers on the wall. Try the age tofu appetizer and the bento boxes.
UpvoteDownvote - Lunch special is 11am-4pm. No exceptions. Their system changes over at 4pm. Try their spicy maki combo c!

YaniqueAugust 28, 2014Great sushi but the place gets crowded especially during the lunch rush! Have a few drinks at the bar while you wait because it's always 5'o clock somewhere!UpvoteDownvote
RashadMay 14, 2010Wendy and Gary (owners) are wonderful hosts. Sushi is always high quality, good size and quite tasty. We've been coming here since they first opened (Matsu I). Some of the best sushi in town!UpvoteDownvote
