MATsui

Matsui reminds me so much of being in Japan - the products and atmosphere do an amazing job of creating the look and feel of a Japanese mall. There are some fantastic restaurants in here, and lots of little shops with books, toys, and more. This seems to be the official place to play the One Piece card game, which I'm not familiar with, but if you're looking for a place to play One Piece, there was quite a crowd on a Saturday. The food was top notch, and while some of the imported products are pricey, the feeling of stepping into Japan makes it very worthwhile. Highly recommend checking this place out!

I got pork katsu don bowl and the boyfriend got the chicken katsu don bowl. The chicken one was better. The meats tasted great on both, and the rice tasted fresh. The miso soup was alright, but the tofu inside it was really small.

The curry sauce was good and it was a good central piece of the whole meal. It had typical Japanese curry flavors. The rice was rice but it did a good job soaking up the savory curry. The katsu chicken had a nice panko crust and was simple like it should be to complement the curry. The takoyaki was okay at best. You’re better off passing on it. The sauce and bonito flakes had more flavor than the octopus balls. Fyi. There is a exhibit with model dishes next to where you order to get an idea how your dish will look. It helps a lot. (Yes mine looked like the model)
