Fantastic for the price. Also did I mention, Jimmy is the man? By far some of the best customer service I have ever had.
Delicious, wonderful all you can eat beef n lamb cooked in spicy broth. What more can you want? Jimmy is the man! 5/5 service. Really a wonderful place.
Although Matsuyama Shabu House had excellent food and a welcoming atmosphere, my overall experience was not good due to significant wait times. Even though we chose an all-you-can-eat meal, we had to wait for another set for a frustrating 20 minutes just to get the attention to order. Moreover, it took an additional 30 minutes to receive the food after we ordered it. The lack of prompt service left me disappointed and disheartened, especially for those who enjoy the dining experience. We also noticed that the amount and quality of the food on the serving plate were not up to the standard menu. We were surprised by the services, and the quantity and quality of the services were not satisfactory. They were unable to serve us according to our demands, and we had to leave as the waiting time for the food was too long. In the 90 minutes time frame, we got the first set and second set and the other of third set took total of 40 minutes which we can't wait any longer. Despite the enjoyable food and ambiance, Matsuyama Shabu House failed to provide a seamless and timely dining experience. I am unsure if this is due to a lack of staff on the floor or in the kitchen.
SAVE THIS for your next Date Night!! Don't be scared of the price, because the quality of each course is sooo worth it! That Glazed Mackerel app was one I have never had before and got me wanting more! Honestly though, every dish stood out in its own way and it'll be hard to find this quality or hospitality without going to Japan.

This was a super fun experience. Food was good, team was very nice. Vegetarian options: Not very many options Dietary restrictions: Team was knowledgeable on what options they had for certain dietary restrictions.
Amazing service and food. Worth every penny. Went for the A5 Wagyu menu and did not regret it. Service was top notch - will def come back.
We did the A5 meal. It was good. The mackerel, ribeye sushi, ribeye wrapped in cilantro appetizer made the appetizer section great (the kalbi and sizzling pepper was meh) The sugar mochi dessert and cream cake were also delicious The method of doing each order, waiting, does prevent food waste. It made us feel appreciative of each dish too. The soup base is good for eating out of but not as great to drink from. (I primarily had the golden chicken soup base)
