Original Matsu Sushi Japanese and Korean Restaurant

Came here Nov 2024. Food was absolutely perfect. Had the Rainbow & moon maki! Service was delightful and we had our own little closed off booth. Very happy with our dinner, lovely place

Kid-friendliness: We sat in with our baby in the booth

This restaurant has a very quiet peaceful and private atmosphere. The food was on point with other Japanese restaurants that I have gone to across North America.

This isn’t all you can eat. This is quality and made with care. The Korean Bibimbap was sizzling and flavorful. The wasabi was fresh!

It was our first time visiting this restaurant, and we were pleasantly greeted by the owners. We placed an order for the Sashimi Donburi with spicy sauce, tempura udon, and Dynamite roll. The food was clean and delicious. If we ever find ourselves in Peterborough again, we will definitely return to try other items on the menu. Thank you for the good experience.

I was taken here for Father’s Day it used to be great when we arrived at 6:30 on a Saturday and we were the only ones there I should have seen the sign our waiter brought us the wrong rolls and he doubled what we ordered food quality was 2/10 at best. The family that runs the restaurant sat beside us and ate and forgot about us it was a horrible experience we paid and left the food and walked out

I rarely give negative reviews, but my experience at Matsu Sushi Japanese and Korean Restaurant in Peterborough was exceptionally disappointing. The spicy salmon maki sushi had no salmon at all, and the spicy tuna maki sushi was the same with no trace of tuna. It was merely ordinary maki with a bit of sauce on top, which the owner claimed to be salmon and tuna sauce. When I asked the owner why there was no actual salmon or tuna, he mockingly asked if I was from Toronto and said that sushi in Peterborough is different from Toronto's and that they don’t include actual salmon or tuna in their rolls. This is absurd! I feel sorry for the customers in Peterborough.

The prices at this restaurant are not cheap $40-50 per person (with a bottle of Canadian beer priced at $8.95, previously $6.95 as printed on the menu but now hand-corrected by the owner). Despite these not low prices, the food quality was poor. I was drawn in by the restaurant's high ratings to celebrate my son's competition win, but we were let down not only by the food but also by the environment. The adjacent room was filled with loud, disruptive guests, completely ruining the serene and elegant atmosphere one expects from a Japanese restaurant.

Additionally, the quality of the tableware was subpar, with disposable chopsticks and mismatched utensils, making the rating and prices even more unjustifiable. This restaurant does not deserve its 4.3 rating and certainly not the prices they charge. Very disappointed!

Nice quiet place. Decent food.

This place is amazing. Lots of food for the price. Perfect amount of roe on the crispy spicy salmon roll. Surprised with how quiet it was considering how good the food was. Maybe it was the time of day, I hope it is usually busy.

This was my go-to place for so many years. We don't order often because we can't afford it, but decided to splurge last night. Very disappointed in our order, grocery store quality sushi; one of the rolls the fish even tasted "off". I am so sorry, we won't be back.
