Masa: An Absolute Catastrophe
Having eagerly anticipated a meal at Masa, the lone 3-star Michelin restaurant left on my New York list, I envisioned an experience worthy of its prestigious reputation. Priced at $750 per person for the standard omakase, with additional courses at $250 each (which we gladly welcomed), Masa promised not only culinary excellence but also unparalleled service. However, what should have been an exceptional evening turned into a series of disappointments. The ambiance was marred by an out-of-place chorus of "Happy Birthday" songs and a distracting photoshoot at the counter. Mishaps followed, from discovering a hair on one of my plates to the unexpected unavailability of a pre-ordered wine bottle. The most disheartening moment came during the Toro course, where conflicting explanations about its origin cast doubt on the restaurant's integrity. Despite addressing concerns with the Director of Operations, disappointments persisted. Reflecting on my experience at Masa, I couldn't help but question its continued 3-star status. Interestingly, Masa's online presence is obscured on Google, possibly due to similar reviews from dissatisfied patrons. Try Instead: Shuko; Sushi Nakazawa; Juku (currently closed, but pending re-opening); Sushi Ann; seriously even Nobu will have better service and consistent

The food was very good, the and the place was also cosy, Japanese(ish) so the ambiance was ad hoc. We had a great time. The prices are a little expensive.
Be the first to ReplyJust wow!
Mind blowing! And absolutely worth the price given the quality of ingredients and level of services. Iโve eaten at several omakase restaurants within the US, 7 to be exact, 2 of those are michelan rated. However, masa was the best one! Within the first 5 courses we had toro, caviar, uni, crab, waygu, truffles. And it all tasted incredible. Then we went into the 18 course nigiri. Every fish was carefully chosen and the cuts were delicately made. We saw our chef discard pieces of cuts that he called โunworthyโ. We also had the sake pairing which was worth it has the sake paired so well with every single bite. And they kept your glass full. I read a lot of reviews that claimed it wasnโt worth the price which made me nervous. However, as someone who is experienced in omakase meals, this is definitely worth the price. I mean, the first course was an entire 25 grams of caviar! Also it takes someone whoโs experienced omakase before to enjoy a meal of this caliber. They donโt allow photos which made the meal more enjoyable as we were not worried with snapping pics of everything.

It is horrendously expensive and equally good. I need to write more to get this published but there is nothing else to write. A lot of outstanding food and great sake and this time of the year yummy white alba truffles.
Be the first to ReplyExceellent food
Simply awesome. The best 3 star Michelin restaurant we have had. And we eat a lot of Michelin. Only draeback, it's expensive. But believe me when I say the price justifoes the quality of food. But surpringly there wrere no dessert after the palatte cleanser?!
Be the first to ReplyAn outstanding lunch in Midtown Manhattan
The bar at Masa ("barmasa") is a favorite for excellent Japanese meals with outstanding service at a reasonable price. If you start out with sake (you really should) the sommelier will guide you through the sake lists as though they are all bordeaux premier crus. Since I usually know what I want to eat (this was not my first -- or second--visit) I skipped the detailed menu descriptions, but I'm sure they would be helpful for a newbie like the single gentleman at the next table. The servers manage to treat you like an old friend who needs a few clues, and no matter what you order it will be delicious and elegantly served.as I expect in Tokyo, although rather rare in New York. Anyhow we had beautifully served tuna temaki followed by cold noodles and tempura shrimp, the traditional Japanese summer meal. My only "criticism" was the lack of light, readily solved with my iphone but I'm sure my server would have immediately produced a flashlight...
Be the first to ReplyThe Best Sushi!
We had to think several times before making the reservations. The cost of dining in this restaurant is much more than other restaurants in the area. How is this place different? What sets this place apart from others? We could only satisfy our curiosity by taking the plunge. I am so glad we did! We were in awe and amazed by each dish. It's an elevated gustatory sushi experience. The sake served was also superb! I only have good things to say about this place. Definitely worth it! We will certainly return!

Truly a three star experience. Outstanding appetizers and impeccable sushi. Accompanied by an equally outstanding sake tasting. All dishes exceptional and with a service that was comparable. The ikebana piece behind the Hinoki counter was stunning. Some possible improvements: the china/earthenware was forgettable and biggest minus chef Masa stood in the middle behind the counter only talking to some โregularโ customers and ignoring the other. At 3000 dollars for two one could at least expect an โhelloโ and maybe even a โthank youโ.

High end authentic Japanese restaurant. It is a fixed price menu and it is not cheap probably one of the most expensive restaurants in New York. But the quality is high. Some of the best sushis that you may find in New York. Some of the dishes however were not to my like. It could be a personal taste. Decor and ambience is authentic and pleasant. Service was excellent. They have no photographic policy which I find to be unrealistic and meaningless.

Ridiculous, bad service, fast food type of sushiโฆ I donโt know how Michelin gives the stars!!??
Portions and plate setting were amateur
The best sushi of my life.
We had an absolutely perfect experience. After being shown to our table and ordering cocktails, the host came to tell us that two seats at the Chef's counter had opened and we would be served by Chef Masa himself. I couldn't believe it!
Every. Single. Bite. Is. Heaven.
I cannot say enough good things about it. The quality of the fish is unlike anything I've ever had. It is a ton of food, so come very hungry. You won't want to leave a single piece of rice on your plate. It is that good.
The staff are incredible and anticipate your needs. I don't know how they are doing this but they are there the second you need anything.
Yes, it's expensive. It is worth it. I would do it all over again. If you are ever considering treating yourself to the best sushi of your life then you must go here. And if you are lucky enough to be seated before Chef Masa, get ready for an incredible experience.
Best Sushi Place in NYC, perhaps the country
3 Michelin stars is spot on. Sushi is extremely diverse and fresh. For Sushi lovers who are foodies, you must go here and give it a try. If you do not like Sushi, this is not the place for you. Every piece was freshly made and brought to your plate with a special sauce or topping. Follow the chef's recommendations.
The decorations and ambiance were spectacular. I could hear the water and lovely background music. Lighting was just perfect.
The service was over-the-top. We had the chef's tasting menu with wine accompaniment. Every course meant that plates, utensils were changed. Table cleaned off. I do recommend the chef's table where you can watch everything they do. Go to restroom? They will be there to push your seat in. Run out of water? No way, ever. There is always someone behind you watching in case you need something.
Some of the sushi was seared. Still raw, but using a sword-like long knife into the hot coals and then searing your sushi. Each course and wine was explained including where sourced. For the wine tasting, we were given options of all wine, all sake, or a mix. I do not like sake, but my wife mentioned that it was because I had never had good sake before. She was right. We both chose the mixed.
We were offered a Kobe A5 add-on which we split. I do not like raw or rare beef. But this was great (completely raw like the sushi).
There were a couple of cooked dishes, but those were mostly the appetizers. My favorite dish was the shiitake mushrooms seared over those coals and then topped with truffle oil. Oh my! Speaking of favorites, make note of yours because they will offer you one extra of your favorites at the end. The mushroom was my favorite.
Cell phone usage is not allowed. Nice to be free of them and everyone around us too. And no pictures. At the end of dinner, we were allowed to take pictures.
There is no one specifically to call out. This is because when everyone is exceptional, you cannot pick one.
I must say, this was one of the most expensive two-person dinners I have ever had. The 16-course Joel Robuchon with premium-wine accompaniment was the only other one in this area. Specifically 1k+ per person.
Incredible!

The best food ever! Top service! I ve been to all the top restaurants in nyc, thought per se was my fav but masa topped it, you wonโt believe how good it is, worth every penny spent.
Be the first to ReplyWalk on By: Mediocre Nigiri At Best
We went to Masa Bar (because Masa is an outrageous $500 Omakase compared to Morimoto's Philly's Omakase of just over a $100 and spectacular) and ate 6 pieces of nigiri (2 of us): it was dry and mediocre. The nigiri in Cleveland (eg, Table 45) is far superior. The 6 pieces of nigiri and one glass of rose wine (shared) with tip cost almost $90! Outrageous price for sorry food.
Be the first to ReplyYes, itโs worth it.
Ok. I know the price seems ludicrous. I know itโs kinda nuts to spend so much money on one meal. But imho some meals are worth it. And Masa was definitely worth it. Masa also has very large portions, which ended up being a heavy meal. Too heavy for me anyway. The quality of the meal was out of this world. Tasty, unique, novel, daring, interesting, modern and downright delicious. I still think about a couple of the courses now months later. Memorable is an understatement. Yes, itโs all worth it in my opinion. My husband thinks so too. He took me out for my birthday dinner and all I can say is Wow and Thank You, My Love!
