“Liked the Bento Box”

Matuba is one of the more reasonably priced Japanese restaurants in the DC area. The Bento box is a good deal at lunch at around $11. It includes miso soup, tempura, sushi, sashimi, and a tasty piece of grilled salmon. Sushi and sashimi seem quite fresh and properly cut. When they are busy service can be a bit spotty. more

Matuba is located off a side street in Bethesda's busy section and really close to the NIH campus. The sushi buffet is convenient for a lunch gettogether although I'm sure the restaurant at other times is great too. The sushi seems pretty fresh, and the sushi chefs make it in front of you behind the conveyor belt that distributes the... more
