readtable() to get the data into place. strcmp() or ismember() the appropriate column of the table.

If the user_id are numeric:
specific_user_id == YourTable.user_id
If the user_id are character vectors:
strcmp(specific_user_id, YourTable.user_id)
If you just need to know whether the specific ID is found at all:
ismember(specific_user_id, YourTable.user_id)
If you need to know whether it is found and where it was found and there is only at most one match:
[specific_was_found, idx] = ismember(specific_user_id, YourTable.user_id);
