I will certainly be back!"
"A truly authentic japanese experience, from the food to the interiors everything feels like dining in Japan, very friendly servers all of them very welcoming upon pur arrival especially Mitch who was always smiling the whole time..a must try for all japanese food enthusiasts!!"
"We decided to go an adventure by trying highly rated restaurants in the city. This one will be first of many. You are greeted by red tori gates into an open dining area with hanging notori’s and busy lady servers in kimono. There are many options on the menu, with reasonable priced food and drinks. Food is good, and I was happy to see the offer the extra large Suntory highball. Heading back to this place for sure. Only drawback is their menu presenting prices that’s not VAT inclusive can be misleading, and it’s required by law that menu pricing is inclusive of it. Salmon was t served chilled, and being a fatty fish, it was “sweating” when served, but that didn’t deter us from consuming it. Cigarette smoke coming from the function rooms aren’t properly ventilated out of the building and seeps into the non-smoking dining area which is tolerable but quite bothersome for us being a family of asthamatics. To conclude, we are heading back as we really enjoyed our visit, the place itself, food and value for me."
"Matsunoya Japanese Restaurant in Mandaue is truly an authentic hidden gem! From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with warm smiles and exceptional service. The food was outstanding, with fresh ingredients and flavors that transported us to Japan. A special shoutout to the amazing staff—Jeffe, Rhea, Myrna, Sofia, Mayet, Krizzel, Kyun, Mitch, and Jacky—who made our dinner experience even more memorable with their attentive and friendly service. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a genuine Japanese dining experience. Plus, they’re currently offering great anniversary promos, so it’s the perfect time to visit!"
