Matsu Sushi
About This Spot
Stepping into Matsu Sushi feels like entering a quietly cherished neighborhood gem nestled just off a stretch of Castaic’s Old Road. The atmosphere is comfortably unhurried, a gentle rhythm where the hum of friendly conversations blends naturally with the soft clink of dishes. It’s the kind of place where familiar faces keep returning, drawn by the steady warmth of attentive service and the unspoken promise of thoughtfully crafted meals.
Here, the focus is unmistakably on the experience of savoring fresh, authentically prepared sushi without fuss or pretense. Whether you’re settling in after a drive or stopping by to recharge both your car and appetite, you’ll find the pace calm but attentive—staff move with purpose yet never rush, creating a space that invites you to slow down and really taste what’s in front of you.
The menu unfolds like a gentle discovery. Vibrant slices of salmon sashimi carry a satisfying simplicity, while unexpected touches—like the subtle crab in the crisp cucumber salad or the delicate layers of a specialty roll—offer moments that linger on the palate. There’s a balance here between familiar favorites and small surprises, all approached with care that rewards repeat visits.
Amid the cozy interior, there’s an easy confidence in the consistency of the food and the genuine warmth of the people who bring it together. Matsu Sushi doesn’t rush flavor or service, instead inviting every guest to savor a moment that feels quietly special—a reminder that sometimes the best experiences are the ones where everything simply feels right.

We arrived near the end of the dinner rush, with just a few servers they still got us sat and got us served in a very reasonable time. Great good, friendly servers and Tesla supercharger in the parking lot, worked out great! I also loved how they added crab to the cucumber salad, and just the right amount of seasoning.

Solid sushi place. Items were fresh. A bit pricey for the portions and quality. Try the salmon collar it was the best thing we had.

We had the chef special: hungry roll and a truffle hunter roll. We were delighted with the flavors and textures of them both! So delicious.

I’ve been going to Matsu for probably about 15 years and it is honestly my favorite sushi restaurant! It has ruined me for other sushi!! The employees are wonderful. The food is consistent. The quality is always top tier. I moved about an hour away from this place and I still dedicate my time to come here whenever I get the chance. If you want good sushi, good people, and a nice time, come to Matsu!

While stopping by Castaic to supercharge my car, we stumbled upon Matsu Sushi, and it was a delightful find. Though a cozy establishment, their sushi is truly top-notch. From their flavorful soup and fresh salad to the delicious Hamachi and Sake we tried, every dish left us thoroughly impressed. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant—you're in for a treat! Enjoy your meal!

Matsu is one of the best sushi restaurants I've ever been too. I've never had a bad or stringy piece of fish and the service has always been great. Might not be the biggest pieces of fish, but the quality is always there. I highly recommend the Matsu Special Roll (It's a hand roll).

My wife and I just relocated up to Castaic from LA and we love this place. The service if great , the atmosphere is nice. But the best is the sushi is just so fresh. I'm also a plumber and did do some work here. I was eating when the Chief said look on the board and call a plumber I laughed and said I'm right here. We were done eating I went to the shop and got my rig and returned. What I'm getting at is the back kitchen area is very clean.
