Tips from the community

Matsuya is the go-to chain for Japanese comfort food. Matsuya is best known for Gyu-don, which is rice topped with beef and onion. You can get a set with gyu-don, miso soup, and salad, as well as other add-ons. The price is very fair, the portions are healthy, and you will always leave satisfied.
