During a recent visit to the area, I had the good fortune of discovering Maruko. What a treat!

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

We just tried Matuba for the third time, and we've had a bad experience each time. Maybe they just don't care about takeout, but the sushi has been sub-par each time.

When you walk by the restaurant it doesn't look so good, but the food is so yummy!! The service is excellent. I highly recommend the redstone roll. The saki is also delish! More

Good sushi, traditional Japanese dishes & green tea icecream--but also have many other hot items--esp. on skewers. Good if someone in your party is not big on sushi. More
