Mata Ne New Asian, Steak, Sushi, Wine

Had Kalbi lunch bento box there. It was good the first time but the second time was way worse than the first time. 6 tiny pieces of pork ribs and some burnt black stuff lying with the ribs...

I usually do not ever rate restaurants poorly, but the food was just so subpar in our opinion. It wasn’t awful, but just not that great. Maybe we went at a not so good time. Not sure. The service was good though.

We had a good experience. I was with a party of 11. The food was very good and the portion sizes are large, borderline excessive in some cases. The service was good. They have a full bar and were able to accommodate all of our drink requests. Asian style cuisine, including sushi, noodle dishes, etc. With 11 people, alcohol and food the bill before tip was under $300, which wasn’t too bad considering the quality and quantity of food.

After having a horrible experience the first time coming here (which we gave a pass due to it being the Elmhurst block party), we decided to come for a celebratory dinner last night. Got a babysitter and decided to do an early 6pm dinner on a Tuesday, since there was no way it could be bad on an off night right? Wrong...in fact it may have been a worse experience since we didn't even get to finish dinner. First I want to say that the waitress we had was great and this is no fault of hers whatsoever, it just seems like this place is so mismanaged and really needs some help from a service perspective. We sat down at our table and the first thing we noticed was that the 4 wine glasses were completely filthy (keep in mind this place has a wine list with some bottles topping $1k). Wasn't planning on drinking but decided to get an Asahi considering we were at an Asian fusion restaurant but after ordering we were told that of the 10 beers on the menu, they only had Guinness and Heineken. Not the end of the world, but also another strange thing for a "high end" restaurant to have happen. Next we decided to put a California roll appetizer in, and then ordered the rest of our meal about 10 min later. We ordered two specialty sushi rolls and a few sides (rice, noodles). 10 min later the rice and noodles came out, but still no California roll. We ended up eating the sides because they were going to get cold otherwise. We continued to wait at least 30 min with little to no updates before deciding to just ask for the check and leave. You would think that a restaurant positioning itself as a high end establishment would put more focus on the actual service rather than the decor. The owner was there when we walked in and then must have left and was nowhere to be seen after we sat down. I thought the Elmhurst block party night was an anomaly, but it turns out the rest of the reviews on here are true. Unfortunately we will never be back.

10/10 recommend Mata Ne to everyone! The food is delicious. Ate just about every sushi roll on the menu and we are big Sushi lovers. Every roll was fantastic. The service was great. Everyone is very welcoming and we had higher up staff check in with us to make sure everything was going well. Beautiful indoor and outdoor seating. Very happy with our experience for a special date night out. Can not wait to go back!

I was expecting a very good experience from such a high ended restaurant. My expectations were not met. Half of the food that we ordered was "sold out." Very disappointed.

Delicious food and great service. The owner is right in there making sure everyone has a great experience.

We had a reservation, but after 30 minutes (after our reservation) and multiple other tables being sat before us, we just had to leave to get food elsewhere.

We went for our daughter’s birthday. Food is not the problem. But service was really terrible. We ordered two seafood dynamites. They didn’t come for 45 mins. We had to remind them two times. And they came just before we were leaving. Our waitress was kind of lost. It was very hard to get to her. We had to wait almost 20 mins to order additional items. I had to ask three times just to get a paper napkin. And the “funniest” part was that three different waiters brought us beignets and edamame that we didn’t order. Aaaaand they were included in the bill. Really disappointing experience and will never go again for sure.
