Soothing hues of gray flood the casual and spacious restaurant. Small square tables (all adorned with tiny flower vases) dot the space, and an illuminated sushi bar, though tucked into a corner, steals the spotlight. When it comes to sushi, get ready to roll with some innovative ingredients. The Godzilla roll combines just about every imaginable sushi savory: smoked salmon, eel, cucumber, masago, shitake, cream cheese, wasabi mayo, eel sauce and tempura crunch are only some of the fixins in this monster. Other roaring rolls include the Red Dragon (tuna, chili tobiko, shrimp tempura, cucumber, mayo and hot sauce) and the white-tuna-stuffed White Dragon. Dressing up the normally simple Philadelphia roll, Matsu Yama's version comes laden with smoked salmon and cream cheese as well as asparagus, green onion, avocado and cucumber. Other options on the menu include an orange shrimp tempura, grilled eggplant with miso sauce and sauteed lobster tail in lemon butter sauce. BYOB.
