We were able to get reservations here for 10 people spring graduation weekend. we called a month and a half in advance and got a reservation for at 9pm...so call early on game and graduation weekends! Either way, having a reservation helps alleviate the stress about whether or not you're going to get in somewhere. We arrived a few minutes... More

The food at Masa is amazing! I was there for a business dinner and they were very accommodating. We ordered off the sushi and the regular menu and every walked away very pleased with their meal. I would really recommend the calamari – it’s not your ordinary fried bits.

Masa is always a great pick. I ordered the lunch plate with mongolian beef, spring roll, fried rice, and vegetables. It was all so delicious. My lunch mate ordered the lunch plate also but with sweet and sour chicken. I finished my plate, but she ate the rest of her meal for dinner. The atmosphere was nice and calm as... More

The Sushi was amazing! The restaurant had a wonderful variety so much so that I had a hard time choosing what to order. I will definitely be back.

I have been to Masa at least a dozen times and have always been thrilled at the food, atmosphere and service. Not so last night. Our group of seven started out with the calamari salad appetizer. This has always been one of my favorites. Well, when the order arrived, we all dug in and realized there was no sauce (the... More

The restaurant is beautiful on the inside, and the edamame appetizer with the bean dip is awesome. I'll never order sushi here again, and some of the hot food is serviceable, but I'm disappointed more often than not. I've decided, when I'm dragged there for business dinners (as I often am), that I'll only ever order the spicy seafood stir... More

I love everything I've ordered from here. The cucumber delight is low carb, no rice. A great diet meal. Love the Philadelphia roll also. The fried cheesecake roll for dessert is amazing. I highly recommend this restaurant for any event.

I have been to Masa a number of times, and have enjoyed the food each time. The atmosphere is comfortable, and inviting. I have not seen any children there, but that could be because it is very popular and often has a long wait. Also, the parking lot restricts the number of places to park for Masa, which may mean...

This restaurant should learn that the customer is ALWAYS RIGHT. Mom wanted tuna (not sushi) and chef would not cook it to her liking. We've never been back.

Wife and I went there using a gift card that someone had given us. Started out with cream cheese wontons and a sushi roll. I had Pad Thai Chicken. It was excellent. Wife had sesame chicken with brown rice. It was good, not great, but she was happy. I would like to go back sometime and try a sushi platter... More
