They have two menus available: one for those already familiar with Japanese food and the other comes with photos of the food for people who aren't.
And you don’t have to worry about accompaniments. You'll get a complete meal with the Special Lunch Bento set – chicken teriyaki, unagi (eel), fried vegetables and sashimi together with rice, miso soup, chawan mushi (steamed egg custard) and fruit.
A delicious Sukiyaki Tei Set, served piping hot in a claypot, costs just RM18 and the Seafood Set RM25.
Value for money:The Seafood Set offers a complete meal.
Also try the Gyuniku Kimuchi Itame (sliced beef fried with kimchee) and Adegashi Tofu (deep-fried tofu with sauce) – both very appetising.
Indulge in some Haagen Daz ice-cream and wash it all down with hot or cold sake or Asahi beer.
The food is such exceptionally good va- lue because proprietor Lee Ten Lin, 57, is also a purveyor of Japanese groceries and therefore has access to the raw ingredients at trade prices.
The chilled tuna is shipped in weekly, and the salmon (shake) is flown in twice a week, ensuring the sashimi is as fresh as possible.
“Every morning, I go to the market personally to source for the best produce available,” Lee explained.
He employs experienced local chefs, and service is provided by his wife Judy and daughter Siew Yen, which all go towards keeping quality up but costs, and therefore prices, down.
Matsuki has been going for over 10 years now, and judging by the lunchtime crowd and Japanese clientele who go there to eat and read the papers, it offers not just value for money but also authentic Japanese food (he often gets busloads of Japanese tour groups too).
The pork-free outlet, with its neat, fresh interior and clean wooden furniture, is a pleasant place. It has four tatami rooms which can be booked in advance, and sufficient parking in the front garden.
Matsuki is open every day from noon to 2.30pm for lunch and 6pm to 10.30pm for dinner. For details or reservations, call 04-229 5504.
