Matsu Japanese + Thai

Met up with Mary for all-you-can-eat Japanese dinner tonight at Matsu, and we had ourselves a feast:

Seaweed salad and Thai mango salad

Thai seafood egg drop soup

Kalbi beef ribs

Matsu Roll: soft shell crab, shrimp tempura, fish roe, avocado, cucumber, asparagus, green onion, and mayonnaise wrapped in BBQ eel slices

Black Pearl Roll: snapper tempura and avocado wrapped in BBQ eel slices and topped with black caviar

Salmon and Cucumber Roll

Jungle Roll: fried yellowtail, fish roe, avocado, and mayonnaise

Submarine Roll: BBQ eel, fish roe, and avocado wrapped in salmon slices and topped with gold flakes

Rock 'n Roll: green onion, avocado, crab meat, cucumber, and teriyaki sauce wrapped in tuna slices and topped with tempura crumbs

Salmon and tuna sashimi

Salmon, yellowtail, and snapper sashimi

Yellow curry with beef brisket and roti

Deep-fried coconut shrimp

Needless to say, Mary and I were dying full by the end of the meal. But it was totally worth it! We were originally going to order from the à la carte menu, but soon realized that it would be cheaper to order from the all-you-can-eat menu ($24.99 for dinner on weekends), and with more variety, too. The food was fresh and tasty, the service was attentive and efficient and friendly, and everything was well-presented. Furthermore, the restaurant is beautifully decorated and perfectly lighted. We were both really impressed with everything, and decided we'd have to go back again soon. So glad we tried this new restaurant; it seems like Toronto has a plethora of mediocre all-you-can-eat Japanese restaurants, but Matsu is quite exceptional.
