Beijing in recent years has witnessed an explosion of Japanese culture, and Japanese restaurants have certainly become quite popular. So much so that Beijing is a great place for authentic Japanese cuisine. Baijiazhuang based Matsuko Japanese Restaurant stands out not only for its great food, but also for its Japanese-style décor and ambience.

Patrons, especially regulars, cite Shengyu Ryori, Huixi Ryori, Shochu and Ghost Sake as their favorites. They also enjoy the lunch buffet, which serves over 60 dishes featuring Japanese hot pot, sashimi, hand-rolled sushi, omelet, and lots more. All seafood is made fresh the same day, to ensure its quality and taste.

The lunch buffet cost RMB 68. If you order instead, the average cost is about RMB 78 per person. Further adding to Matsuko’s appeal are their waitresses in traditional Japanese kimono. That, along with the subtle koto music, and traditional decorations, will certainly make your meal a memorable one.
