Someone told us about Sushi Masa at Kempsville Rd, Virginia Beach this year and since that first visit, we have been back 3 more times. If you like sushi, then you should try this place. Sushi Masa's reputation has spread and it's not unusual to...see the place crowded, particularly during lunch.That is when they offer their popular "lunch-all-you-can-eat" menu. They do offer a variety of entrees for dinner but their main attraction seems to be the all-you-can-eat sushi.
The place can be considered tiny compared to other restaurants but it is clean with lots of spaces between tables.
During our most recent visit (last Saturday), my wife and I again opted for their all-you-can-eat menu. We ordered their cucumber salad, followed by 3 appetizers: gyoza (dumpling), shrimp & vegetable tempura and calamari. All of these came with their own sauces and they were all freshly cooked and delicious. Other appetizers on the menu were edamane and harumaki.
From their kitchen entrees, we ordered yakimeshi (fried rice), chicken yakisoba (noodles), and chicken katsu (fried chicken breast). Chicken teriyaki and beef yakisoba were also available.
The lunch-all-you-can-eat menu lists 11 sushi selections, 22 sushi roll selections, and 6 special roll selections. Sushi included tuna, salmon, red clam, shrimp, mackerel. Sushi rolls included the popular California roll, Philly roll, Alaska roll, Boston roll, eel avocado and eel cucumber roll and many more. The special roll selection were Tiger, Garden Dream, Volcano, Friend, Rainbow and Dragon rolls. We have tried all these special roll selections and they were all good.
As the menu suggests, it is all-you-can-eat...so, in the interest of not wasting food, a warning sign on the menu states customers will be charged $0.50 per item that is not eaten.
We have only seen one waitress during our visits but she is efficient and covers all the table promptly asking us if we want to order more when our plates are almost bare.
We enjoyed our lunch so much, we're already planning on going back.More
