Well I first discovered this place when I had a "hankerin" for some sushi. We stopped in real quick and placed a to go order. It took about 10 mins to get this order...but it was worth the wait.
The rolls were rolled by hand and as I ordered none of this pre-made stuff. It was veeeery good. So I made a mental note and decided to try the dine in expierence ASAP.
My hubby and I had a recnet Date night. No reservations no call aheads we just dropped in.
Masa Sushi is in a strip center and this may put some people off at first bcs you would assume that being located there it is a fly by night place but one the doors open and you cross the threshold you are transported to a chic loungish atmosphere that is relaxing and welcoming.
They of course have the some Japanese decor around but it is not alllll over the place or done in a tacky way. The hostess is dress in her regular clothes (drees up very nicely) and the wait staff is dressed in all balck (if i recall correctly)...all look very sharp.
We are quickly welcomed and escorted to our table. They have it set up with tables in the center and the looooong wrap around "booth seating" along the wall and chair across form the booth (So one person is in the booth & the other in a chair).
We were welcomed by our waiter and told of the specials and given time to order. When we ordered this is what we had
Edamame $2.99
House Special Soup $1.50
Rock N Roll $5.50 (Shrip Tampura, Cucmber, Green onion & Avacado)
Spider $6.75 (Soft Shell Crab, cucumber, Green onion & Avacado)
Philadelphia $5.50 (Smoked samon, cream cheese & avacado)
1 more roll I forgot what it was called but yummy nevertheless
Needless to say we were stuuuuuffffffed. We had t take some home. The wait was a little bit lenghty BUT I assure you it was worth the wait. It was not enough to make you never wanna go back. I am thinking it may have just been an off day. I will try again soon and see if that was the case or if this is the norm.
Funny thing was that in the background they played classic rock...Bon Jovi and Posion I think heee hee
Jason , My hubby, said it was had an industrial adult feel bcs of the lighting and music.
The magr. Michelle did walk around and greet people, but it wasnt like at other places where they just ask"How is everything?" you say "Oh good." then walked off to the next table. During the course of the evening I saw her go to each and everytable and really take some time and speak and interact with the table of people. She made it seem like she was just there talking not working.
We did try an appitizer; it had a bit too much onion in it so when she came around i mentioned this to her and she really took my comment into consideration.
She compted that portion of the ticket and gave us a little something else as a thank you for our feed back.
I would say what the appitizer was till I try it again BCS i think they are REALLLLY on to something and given that change I feel like this could be one of thier great items they are known for Much like the blommin onnion is for Outback...I cant wait to try it again.
So to close I say go go go!
