So I'm a true born and raised Californian so my caliber for sushi is pretty high. Finding an awesome sushi place in a city that isn't close to water is a little sketch, but hey. Cravings are meant to be satisfied somehow.
Masa is my family's favorite spot because:
1) miso soup and salad with sesame ginger dressing is served to all
2) the pieces of sashimi are generously cut
3) there is always a "happy hour"
4) they serve a cute dessert of thinly sliced apples, pocky, oranges and whipped cream
When it comes to real sashimi and sushi options, it is a little limited (no ikura or uni) but that's understanding based on location. This is more of a spot for satisfying sushi roll and bento box cravings! And of course sake bombs :)
Before you leave, ask if you and your table can take a Polaroid and post it! Make the trip memorable!
P.s. Try the monkey balls and sashimi salad!
