Reviews

“There simply aren't words that can describe the level of Masa. Masa is truly in a class of its own. The perfection of sushi that is crafted here is unequivocal and no one comes close. The service goes above and beyond.

The beautiful and dim interior has an exquisite feel. The pond inside behind the counter is an authentic Japanese touch.

Because of the level of perfection, the sushi is served quickly and must be eaten right away. To enjoy the flavors from the masterpieces served here, do not delay your first bite of excellence! Enjoy :)!”

“Highest quality ingredients I have ever seen, this is probably the peak of seafood and sushi you can get in the US. The roasted sea urchin with truffle was such a magical dish, having incredible umami and creamy flavors. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, as it is not really worth the cost of the meal.”

“Yes, it is that expensive. And yes, it was worth it.

I am still spinning over just how good some of the dishes they served were. I've had a lot of good sushi, but every piece of fish felt elevated here. I could have stayed hours more, just chatting with the chef as he kept giving me extra bites of some of my favorites.

The no picture rule is a little obnoxious, so, like everyone, I did the requisite bathroom selfie. And the picture with the chef at the end of the meal. But I miss the food so much already.”

If you choose to visit the most expensive restaurant in New York, you won’t be disappointed! Just a little bit broke….
