Welcome to Matsuya Quality Japanese Eats

“ Wow. Was beyond my expectations and I have had sushi in some of the best places in the world. This is on par. Fish was fresh and amazing. Everyone was so friendly. For an amazing sushi experience sit at the sushi bar. You won't be disappointed. Such a delightful place. ”

“ This is my favorite sushi restaurant. I have been eating there for thirty years, starting in Great Neck and now I have followed them to Roslyn. My family loves this restaurant and eats there twice a week most weeks. The food, service and ambiance are awesome! Linda the manager is so sweet and very attentive and accommodating. Highly recommend this restaurant for eat in or take out. Favorites are: Matsuya roll with tuna or salmon, eel, cucumber and avocado roll, and wasabi tuna chips. The house salad is very good too and I love their limeade! ”

“ We had a wonderful time here! The sushi was incredible, and beef cooked to perfection. Linda was so attentive and friendly. This is officially my new sushi spot. The iced tea (not pictured) was really unique & tasty too. The Broiled Hamachi Kama ”

“ Great fish , cut to perfection means great sashimi and amazing non sushi options. Linda the manager is eager to please. Located in a strange but charming spot within a deli by day that becomes a fairly sophisticated restaurant by night. Unpretentious delicious menu , great saki selection and chill vibes. Highly recommend a visit. Try the eggplant app and the Kobe beef and chicken sliders and of course all of the fresh fish that changes daily. ”

“ Crazy good sushi in the most unlikely spot… Old Northern Blvd. AKA Main Street in Roslyn INSIDE a deli by day that becomes a reggae poppin sushi restaurant when the sun goes down. And as a sweet surprise for those who don’t love sushi , you can enjoy the BEST ever Kobe beef or chicken katsu sliders, or both. I would and have gone just for that but the real gem is the sushi. Fresh fish prepared like it’s meant to be in a chill unpretentious atmosphere. JUST GO. !!! ”

“ Let me start by addressing the "sushi density" in just a few blocks is getting more intense than the pizza shops around here, but this 'might' be ok. (in the town of Roslyn, we now have Kotobuki, Yuzu, Matsuya, and Okaru in spitting distance of each other). But dont get confused, as each services a different niche. I was initially thrown off guard here . How did a good sushi place from Great Neck get transplanted into a Roslyn deli? Usually if getting sushi at a deli, you are taking many risks. But not with Matsuya. Not only do they make their sushi creations as works of art, it was fresh and tasted very good as well (see photo). It was nice to be able to get a sushi roll as my son made me take him to Delicacies to get an Asahi bowl. But the question is if people will really opt to sit in the side room of a busy delicatessen to have a sushi meal. The service is very warm and welcoming, and Matsuya makes every effort to make your table a finer dining experience, one glance to the side and you see someone eating their bacon/egg/cheese sandwich on a piece of paper. Hmmm. And I can accept this, but at Matsuya, you are paying for a full service sushi dining experience in this setting (my one 'special' roll cost me $21 and with tip >$25. Not what I really want to be doing when going for a quick lunch. Since I wrote the above I have now ordered delivery from Matsuya and it was great. Other sushi places around here take forever to get the food to you, but not Matsuya. And the fish is just as good as noted above. I then wanted to see what the dinner vibe was and I was very surprised how this room was transformed (see photo). So in conclusion: (I lifted my star rating a bit from the original as I experienced more) -- Sushi creations are fresh, well presented and taste great; -- Service very warm and welcoming; -- Atmosphere in the deli questionable during day, but night time vibes look great -- Cost given the setting might need to be recalibrated if grabbing lunch….but ok for dinner. -- As far as the sushi density and competition, time will tell. ”

“ I had such a great experience at this Japanese restaurant! The service was absolutely wonderful — warm, attentive, and professional from start to finish. You can really feel the care they put into both the hospitality and the food. The dishes were incredibly fresh and full of flavor — every bite tasted clean and beautifully prepared. From the sushi to the cooked dishes, everything was top quality and presented with elegance. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to come back again and again. Highly recommended for anyone who loves authentic Japanese cuisine ”

“ I've been going here for years, and it is always a great dining experience. Surprisingly, they recently updated there menu and this kobe beef slider with brie was absolutely delicious. I can't wait to go back and try more of the new items! ”
