Matuba's got a great lunch special going. Their bento boxes are delicious and reasonably priced. Salad is included. The staff has always been very friendly and efficient. One of our favorite 'go to' restaurants on our playing hooky days off! more

I was taken here by a friend who swears by Matuba and it definitely did not disappoint. The restaurant itself has approx. 40 seats with an additional 5 seats at the sushi bar. The service is welcoming and friendly. The menu is a decent blend of the staple a la carte sushi items and traditional Japanese dishes. We started the... more
