| - Recently, I felt like getting some sushi, so I went over the weekend to get some sushi at Masa. It was my second time there. The first time was a couple of months back, and it was a good experience, so I thought about going a second time.
First thing you notice when you're outside the restaurant is the AYCE sign they put up it's $12.95 for weekend lunches, and was a bold in your face typeset so you couldn't miss it, which was a decent price. Think it's 12-3 pm are the time for the AYCE lunch time sushi, so if you want that price better plan ahead or else you might just miss the time.
When you're walking in, the decor and ambiance of the place does have modern and contemporary feel to it, it's clean and welcoming. Service was fast, the waitress was there in 20 second and showed me to my seat. There wasn't many customer that day, which was Saturday lunch time, so service was prompt and courteous.
The waitress that seated me was a nice lady and explained the menu items and how I should order. So I started with the Miso soup, which is a good item to start with. The soup came promptly, no complaints there, I didn't remember any of my orders being late, so thumbs up to the chefs and staff. Service was good that day. :)
Sashimi was another extra $3, but I didn't opt for that and just went for the usual AYCE without the sashimi option. The menu was very limited to what I've seen at other places, but it's comparable, but limited. No problem, because it's what I would have ordered the same stuff anyways. I seldom stray far from my usual menu selection until I see something worth trying.
They had a lobster soup that I ordered, wasn't what I expected, it was a soup. But no lobster meat in it. Might just be lobster flavour, but definitely NO lobster meat in there.
On to the meat and potatoes of my review, I then started to order my sushi and rolls. Nothing special, there wasn't a lot to choose from to begin with I think I ordered salmon, white fish and butter fish sushi. And a couple of sushi rolls. Can't really recall too much, but it was good, and nothing stands out or was really memorable. Presentation good, and the sushi tasted was fresh, like what you expect from other sushi places. No dirty or broken dishes to worry, either.
I did noticed that their sushi pieces were on the small side of things. Meaning, that they could have had larger sashimi pieces on the sushi. Good thing was that the rice was smaller compared to the overall sushi pieces. So no loss there. I just loaded it up the 2nd round. I ordered the usual green dragon, gold dragon, salmon avocado, and shrimp tempura sushi. Again, good presentation, and tasted great. Shrimp tempura sushi was my favorite for that day.
Mmmmm..... tasty, nom, nom, nom - as Homer Simpson would elegantly put it. After 2 rounds of orders, I was feeling stuffed. I then ventured into the desserts. It was slim pickings there, so I asked the waitress if I could get one scoop of ice cream for each of the 4 flavours they had, which was red bean, green tea, mango and ginger. Surprisingly, the ice cream was great, was expecting the green tea to such this time around, but it was good. Tasted fresh, though a bit frozen, the ginger and mango tasted the best, green tea was third, followed by red bean ice cream.
Definitely recommend people try this place out, if you want affordable sushi and good service - Give this place a shot. Nothing spectacular, limited menu items, good service, at an affordable price. I had two rounds of 25+ sushi pieces and was stuffed, compared to sushi plates that you buy at the supermarket, I would say the AYCE would be the better value, fresh and cheaper.
