Chances are you’ve walked right by this place many a time without paying it a moment’s notice. Matuzaka is a stone’s throw from the American Consulate, a place that happens to be an area of heavy foot traffic. But a Japanese place? By the consulate? Really?

Really. Here’s how to find the place: find the American Consulate and walk east to the Friendship Hotel. Just after the Friendship Hotel is an alley, take a left. Look for the red lanterns and you’re there.

The night in question, the four of us arrived and kicked off our shoes, ordered a bottle of Sake (55RMB), and a few Asahi beers (15RMB). The green tea was tasty, but the wait staff was a little slow on the refill. In fact, the biggest critique we have of the place is that the wait staff is a bit inept. Our fuwuyuan managed to drop one of our beers. But worry not, the fish, oh the precious cuts of fish were just fantastic. The squid was particularly nice served with a slice of lemon to add or not depending upon your taste..

The menu is multilingual and vast. You can even have your food brought to you on a little boat. The menu also offers box sets, noodles, sushi and sashimi a la carte or, of course, in the standard all-you-can-eat option.

We went for the all-you-can-eat option (68RMB lunch, 88 RMB dinner). Unfortunately there was no all-you-can-drink option. Once the food came, it kept coming, and we loaded up on sushi, sashimi, and wasabi. With our gullets full and belts unbuckled, we waddled out. Overall the restaurant was more than worth it. We shall not pass by without noticing it again.
