Been there twice in the past three days, and I'm planning to go again today. GREAT variety of sushi and the service is second to none. Some of freshest sushi I've have in AZ. Sake Bombs and Spicy Tuna Bitches!!!

Great place. Wast sent here by Yelp and wasn't disappointed. Had the lunch mini-bento and was full and satisfied. GOOD STUFF. Very affordable by the way. Oh, and the service was exceptional. :)

When I first noticed this sushi restruant had move into my neighborhood I was a little scepticle. Been traveling to Sushken in Awatuki for years. I was pleasantly surprised by the great service and diletable food. Great sushi is now only a few blocks from home now.

I finally tried out Masa this week and was very pleasantly surprised. The service was extremely prompt and cordial, the price more than reasonable (their specials are worth checking out!) and the specialty roll I ordered was of very high quality. I can tell this will be one of my regular dining choices. I'd recommend it to anyone in the area looking for a quality sushi fix.
(5)Joey G.
Had a great experience here. Staff was really nice and attentive. Food was delicious and fresh. I definitely be back. and recommend.

If you are in the mood for good sushi and are having a hard time deciding on what roll to get, this place is where you should go! It's always happy hour and they have awesome combo specials to choose from. They only serve wine, beer and saki. No full bar, but I was there for the sushi so that was not an issue for me. The combo specials are 2 different rolls for the price of one. They even have combos that include negiri and sashimi or even sake bombers! To start off your meal when you get seated they bring you complementary miso soup and a lettuce salad. After your entree, they bring you a complementary dessert which is usually a sliced orange and apple with caramel sauce and whipped cream and a poky stick. Nice and light and refreshing to wrap up the well rounded meal! Prices are great! The servers are very helpful and friendly, and before you leave, make sure to get your picture taken to be added to their wall! It's a cool little place!

Been here a few times love it! Great food reasonable prices you can't go wrong and very prompt service!
(5)Olivera D.
Restaurant is clean. Customer service was great. Prices are very reasonable. So many choices. Food/Sushi is phenomenal! I had the Red Dragon roll that was YUM! And...definitely try the seaweed salad. This will be a regular sushi place we go to. So glad they opened a good sushi restaurant close to us! Next time I'll take pics.;)
(5)Sean K.
Called them at before their closing time to order for pick up. I guess they decide when the close because it wasn't 10pm and that's when they say they close on Saturday night....after 22 take out orders from this new location since they opened I guess they will be losing my business now. Masa....when are you open and closed??? When you decide...put it on your website so people can order food when your open.
(1)Mike D.
Tried this place because of yelp reviews. It did not disappoint. The prices are fantastic. If your in a discovery mood and want to try different things, check out their happy hour and combo deals. You can get half of one roll and half of another. I started with the sake bomb combo C and ordered a half arizona:half spicy roll. Delicious. The fish is fresh, no fishy taste. Gonna go back and try sashimi next. I'll let you guys know how it goes. Definitely worth going... Give it a try!!
(5)Tom S.
I've eaten at a lot of Sushi places, and this is one of the best. Great service, great food, and great prices!! I'm going back again and again. I'm so glad this opened in my neighborhood!!!

Best sushi place to go and affordable great quality food overall. service was great! I highly recommend all of you.
(5)Amy B.
We've been here a few times and we love it! The miso soup and salad are a great touch and the sushi combinations are amazing! I don't eat a full roll so it's so nice how they have half and half options.The food comes out super quick. The staff is super friendly and attentive and the polaroid they take is so fun! My kid had never seen a polaroid before so thank you for bringing that experience to our family! We will be back, a LOT!
(5)Rich S.
They have a very friendly staff, abundant choices (half & half, and combo plates for variety are nice), they're reasonably priced considering the quantity (special rolls are huge!), but most importantly, provide excellent quality sushi. They start you out with a bowl of Miso soup and a salad (just lettuce with tasty dressing). Then at the end, you get a fruit dish for the table to share. Both were very nice surprises. My wife and I will definitely be going back very soon.

So the menu is a little complicated, but they have some really good combo deals and for whatever you need you can simply ask. I will definitely be back to dine again. All fish was prepared well and at proper temperature. The miso soup and salad, and orange and apple desert were great additions to the meal.

For the first time in my life I left a sushi restaurant without eating all my food. We don't go out to eat sushi too often because of the cost and when we do it's a special treat. We wasted our money tonight. We sat at a table and were provided with menus, the menu is full of pictures. I read the menu many times and couldn't find nigiri sushi in it. Figured I could just order it and we did. Note, this restaurant does not or at least did not give us, the slip of paper where you write down what you are ordering, by the time the server came I had forgotten some of the things we wanted to order. We ordered Gyoza to start, when it came out I was surprised to see some of the wrappers were green. The menu just said they were Japanese Dumplings. Having ordered and made Gyoza many times I was surprised when I realized we got 3 vegetable and 3 pork Gyoza. I would be nice if the menu clarified this, didn't care for the flavor of the vegetable ones and the pork ones were bland, the accompanying ponzu sauce was watered down and did not taste anything like ponzu. Fail. We also ordered nigiri salmon and that was really good. Great! The rolls we ordered were blah, spicy tuna was sweet and then spicy and was just not good. The lobster roll was a big mistake, not sure why I would even order something like this. Fail on me. Now, I'd like to take a minute to comment on the service. When our gyoza came out, she asked us in a very condescending tone "oh you are splitting?" Well, it's an appetizer, yes we are splitting. Once the rolls and nigiri were brought out, we didn't see our server again. I had ordered hot tea and was pretty much out and needed a refill. I put my cup at the end of the table and waited until we could see someone to get their attention. Once the server came to our table, she looked at my daughter's half empty coke and told her she would be bringing a refill. I didn't have an opportunity to even ask her for another tea. Now I know servers don't read minds, but if you see someone's cup at the edge of the table it has to mean something. Does this cup need to be cleared, does this persone need more tea? Something! When she brought the coke I was done eating and just needed for my daughter to finish her food. I was over my need for tea. We sat and waited, and waited, and waited. Finally we stood up and went to the front desk and our server finally came. She asked us if the food was ok, we wanted to get out and said yeah. Liars, I know. She gave me a total, not an itemized bill. Just a total. I could very well have asked for one, but I was tired and had given up on this restaurant. There are things that you shouldn't have to ask for. An itemized bill is one of them. I gave the server my credit card and she gave me the receipts to sign and one to keep, nowhere was the tally of the items i ordered. While I was signing it, it came to me that this would be the first time I was not going to leave a tip. I just couldn't do it. Service and food was crappy. I should have known when we got there at 6:30 pm on a Saturday night and at the most, they had 5 tables.
(1)Jackie H.
This place has great sushi for really low prices. The staff is very friendly & on top of service. And the super yummy oranges & apple slices for dessert is heavenly! I highly recommend.
(5)Leilani C.
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!
(4)Nicole T.
I love this place! Their sushi is good with great prices. Staff is very nice. Definitely order the money balls while you are there. They do not disappoint.
(5)Irene T.
This place seemed promising with 4 stars. They have happy hour all day and decently priced. However, spicy tuna was very sweet (didnt taste normal) and their raw fish was warm. It was completely empty with only my husband and I. Staff was friendly but I'm sorry I can't do warm sashimi.
(2)Jacky T.
Masa sushi never disappoints. My favorite is the monkey balls and the stuffed jalapeños. Great food, good prices keep me coming back.
(4)Neil J.
First off the sushi was good and recommended but, only one server mid day on a Saturday. Maybe 6 tables with people and it was pretty slow service. Maybe dinner service is better. The temperature in the restaurant was too warm. Even my hamachi was sweating! This made it an experience I would not seek again even if the food was good.

I've neglected my duties as a true Masa Sushi fan. I should've written this review sooner to share my love of this sushi destination. My roommates and I have long made special outings to the Gilbert location, because we enjoy the sushi so much. But imagine our anticipation, finding out that a new location was opening up in our neck of the woods... literally a hop, skip, and a jump away! The things we love about Masa Sushi is how hot Miso soup and a chilled salad are served immediately and are included with any meal. Ditto for the fresh fruit and pocky dessert! The service is warm and inviting, and we are recognized during repeat visits by the hostess and waitress here (although we have yet to make it onto their "wall" of Polaroids). We will have to shamelessly ask to be photographed, I suppose, on our next jaunt, but maybe before we stuff our faces with fresh fish goodness. It's a wonder they don't employ Oompah-Loompahs to roll us out after our bouts of fishy gluttony! Let me save you time on the menu, which is endless and dazzling. You must try the Monkey Balls! More of an appetizer, the Monkey Ball includes warm mushrooms, spicy tuna, and cream cheese on the inside and is deep-fried and drizzled with a special sauce on the outside. In fact, on all of their menu descriptions of their special rolls, a description is always given for what's "IN" and what's "OUT". This two-layered approach not only makes for great and interesting sushi, but is a novel way to find that perfect combination to satisfy your sushi cravings. My favorite is the Boston Roll (IN - shrimp, crab stick, salmon and avocado; OUT - baby lobster, baked cheese). It may sound funky, but it is delicious! This is a sushi roll that eats like a casserole! I've found that it is best complemented with sriracha (which you must ask for on the side) and soy sauce. There's plenty more to explore on the menu, but now that I've found my favorites, I'm sticking with them. Newcomers to Masa Sushi are encouraged to find their own favorite "INs" and "OUTs", because IN-and-OUT is what it's all about!

I've been wanting to try Masa Sushi for the longest time. I've had their Gilbert location bookmarked forever but I never seem to remember about the existence of the place whenever I crave that delicious raw fish. So when I went to Fry's one day and saw that they were opening one in my neck of the woods, I was ecstatic. [Fast forward a few months of long agonizing wait time] One day while getting the mail, I noticed there was a menu flyer on my car for Masa Sushi. Yes! So I stopped in that night with my dinner date during opening week last week and was pleasantly surprised by how busy this place was! Korean was being spoken by the workers, patrons were merrily eating and drinking, and we were seated by the nicest lady ever. We ended up getting The Superman Combo, Bomb Combo D, and the Yellowtail & Hawaiian half & half rolls. Everything was fresh and delicious! I was especially impressed by how thick the slices of sashimi were. I always hate it when a sushi joint goes stingy with their sashimi. Buzz kill. After doing some sake bombs and enjoying our free opening week dessert, we were asked to doodle on a Polaroid the took of us [Asian Glow like whoa], and we were done. By far the funnest opening week celebration ever. Plus the bill was 10% off! Masa Sushi is a tiny cozy restaurant with lots to offer: Their menu is jam packed with a million different combinations and half & half rolls options, the sake comes hot, and the service is great. Will definitely come back! :D

Strobe lights and music outside upon arrival of the restaurant. That's a first! Happy and greeting staff when we first walked in the restaurant. Menus are colorful and loaded with pictures for each dish! Great job! Miso soup and salad was provided prior to ordering! Awesome! Shared special combo 2 plate: #6 Palm Springs which included salmon rock 2 pieces (salmon with thinly sliced cooked onions and a yogurt sauce of some sort) spicy tuna roll 5 pieces and Fuji roll and eel roll. The eel pieces were a bit burnt as of there were no eel. Grand opening special: thinly sliced apples with caramel drizzled on too with half orange cut up into chunks with whipped cream and 2 choc pretzel sticks. Yum! Full at the end of dinner. Not bad!! They all said goodbye with happy faces! That's how it's done! ;)
(4)Michael C.
So, Masa Sushi was really good! Started with a pleasant miso soup and a salad. Tasty soup, basic salad. Had the Tuna Tataki served with shredded Daikon, the tuna was soooo fresh and clean. Was great with a little wasabi and soy. The tempura platter - scallops, Cali roll, shredded veggie thing. All really tasty. Warning, they dot everything with a bit of Sriracha so if spicy isn't your thing... Spouse enjoyed her Philadelphia roll and a bowl of Udon. Very pleasant staff, good food, reasonable prices, all around enjoyable meal!
(4)April S.
We got a flyer at our door step and we've decided to give this restaurant a try. This restaurant is very well decorated and the service is great. Their ice green tea is awesome and will definitely order it again. However, the sushi doesn't taste as fresh as I expected. Nevertheless, the prices are very reasonable and I don't mine going back to try something else.
(3)Stephanie D.
My husband and I went to Masa one Friday night to have dinner. The place was completely dead. Which was surprising for a Friday evening at dinner time. We ordered a few rolls and some beer and sake. The rolls were subpar at best, and looked mediocre. I think we were pretty lucky that most of the rolls we picked were cooked as the fish was NOT fresh at all. Later that evening my husband had excruciating stomach pains. Long story short, we both got e-coil from this place, he worse than I (I'm assuming because he ate the spicy tuna roll and I didn't). He had to be put on antibiotics it was so bad. Needless to say, we will not be returning ever again. I'm not risking our health again.
(1)Sangmi Ellie Y.
Finally I found a place for sushi!!! It was really sweet of them to serve salads and miso soups for free and dessert as well:) The restaurant was not too busy, so we could get good services! I had a salmon love roll and my friend had a beef udon. Both were delicious! Salmon was really fresh and my friend said the soup was super good too! I will see you guys soon masa! And thanks for the Polaroid photo:)
(5)Chris N.
I'm not going to write a story because I'm not too happy about this experience, so I'll bullet point it... -Wife and I ate there Friday night, feeling fine (2nd time here) - Feeling indigestion and not too good through the night - Wife went home Monday from work with stomach issues, feeling under the weather - Tuesday morning I became violently I'll at at trade show in Florida - Thursday, still under the weather, stomach pains and lethargic so went to the doctor, concerned it was an appendicitis - Doctor is convinced it is food poisoning (E.Coli), and puts me on antibiotics Now I normally don't bash restaurants but this is unacceptable. We normally go to Sakana's in Ahwatukee where we have been dozens of times with no issues, but did not want to make the trip that night. This may have been a one-off for this place, but I'm convinced for the sheer fact my wife and I had similar symptoms (mine being much worse) that their prep and service made us ill. Will not be back again.
(1)Rick F.
It didn't start well - we were served miso soup which was salty and uninspired as well as the usual "salad" consisting of iceberg lettuce, a few shreds of carrot, and dressing. It took a while to get our order and the food was not brought together - my sushi was brought well before my wife's noodles. It got better after that. The nigiri was very good - especially the mackerel. My wife really liked her noodle dish. It ended with the free desert for us to share that was beautiful to look at and delicious as well. It consisted of apple slices covered in honey, orange slices with whipped cream, and those chocolate covered sticks. The seating was comfortable and the noise level was quiet to average. If we come back it will be on the strength of the main dishes.
(3)Edmond R.
Got my food and saw a live sewer roach moving around on my sushi plate. I GOT THE HELL OUT OF THERE IN A BIG HURRY!!!!!!
(1)Polaris N.
I have been to both locations many times. This is my go-to sushi restaurant and a weekly addiction. The food here is always well prepared and delicious. I love the free salad, soup, and desert. No one else does that. The value and quality of the sushi can't be beat by anyone!
(5)Megan B.
This was an excellent meal! Start with a salad and soup, then the meal gyoza, sushi combos.. And last they finish with an orange with whip cream, honey, and a pocki cracker! Great value!! Spent $45 between the 2 of us! Much last less than our normal sushi run!!
(5)Erick H.
I purchased the Beef Teri + spicy tuna roll for lunch it was awesome great taste very well prepared and of course for the right price. Definitely enjoy going to masa since I first discovered their other location in Gilbert which is close to home and now this new place is near my work place real people fantastic food.
(5)Zhong Y.
This was surprisingly good. Stopped in on a Monday evening for a sushi & sashimi boat and a spider roll; the price was a bit on the high side, but portions were very generous and the quality and service was very good.
(4)Mike S.
Love this place! We used to go to the Gilbert location which is great as well, but there is something about this place that is just fantastic. We have been going there since it opened, the first week we went there 3 times and took a pic and put it on the wall all 3 times, as my girlfriend calls it the "hat trick". We have never had a bad experience here and even went it might have been one, the staff did everything to make it right. I am a big fan of the sashimi appetizer and I like the roll combos they offer, you can get 2 similar rolls as one, which is great, you get to have 2 different rolls and not have to get 2 full rolls. We always try and get something new when we go. My suggestion is go and try something, I know what i like when it comes to sushi and they have it. I also enjoy that they offer so much more than just the sushi and rolls. I highly suggest this place, one of my favorite sushi places in the valley!
(5)Andrew H.
Had to send the sushi back, the yellow tail was not light color but brown the tuna was burgundy in color, did not feel like going to the hospital to get stomach pumped. If you do go make sure you taste the fish before you venture to swallow. I just wish they could have been better.
(1)Chris C.
Awesome place. And you can mix your rolls like half and half....for someone like me who cant make up their mind, its awesome
(4)Cindy R.
I love Masa's I think they have the best sushi in the area. Their Gilbert location is always busy. The Chandler location is not. I kind of want to keep this a secret but they have a ton more space here and the same excellent sushi! It's lunch time and I have the whole place to myself and my lunch with soup and salad $6! Love it! Update 8/2/14- food is still awesome but the waitress service was awful. We had to ask for drink refills, we had to ask for my daughter teriyaki that I could see on the counter, we had to ask for our bill. Our waitress who I am guessing was a manager was busy counting her register drawer, then visiting in the back with a different staff member. My husband said never again but that would be hard since the sushis so good!
(4)Ben P.
Stopped by to check this place out after driving past it many times. It was completely empty when I walked in. That should've been the first sign. It seemed like it had really good deals for happy hour but now I understand why. The sushi was lackluster, the yellowtail was dry, tough, and seemed old. The mussels, I was only able to stomach down one. If you're going to spend any amount of money I suggest driving down the street about five or 6 miles to Mikado. It is much better. To say the least. Definitely will not be going back here to eat sushi anytime soon.
(1)Trish N.
This is one of my favorite sushi places, I've been going here since the first Gilbert location opened. I like that they give free soup, salad, and dessert. I like eating raw fish so I find the spicy tuna salad and their special rolls (red dragon etc. ) to be really good. I am sad to read reviews about people getting sick. I hope that's not the case, and Masa is making changes to assure that doesn't happen again.
(4)Sarah W.
So first off let me say that I am absolutely 110% excited that they opened a second location over by my condo and was so excited to get my butt in there to see how they do compared to the original location. Unfortunately I was craving them the other night and decided to get take out to bring home. So they got my food ready quick and I could have swore the salmon combo was supposed to come with 5-6 pieces of sashimi. Mine came with 3 not that big of a deal really so its okay. The only thing that bummed me out to the extreme was that when I had already gotten home and was all over diving into my food then the unthinkable happened!! NO WASABI OR GINGER!!!! Both of those two things are extremely crucial in my sushi binging. I cannot tell you how upset I was last night going home to realize I did not have the essentials to eat my sushi. Im upset even just thinking of it last night. Its not like wasabi and ginger are readily available at the grocery store to buy in bulk. So I would have to go out of my way to go all the way back to get wasabi and ginger when normally it's included. That is my only pet peeve at the moment. And hoping that it won't happen again and I'm hoping to god the one waitress from the other location didn't follow because it's very annoying having someone constantly asking if you need anything or if you are done etc etc. Update! *5/9/2014 All week I've been craving more salmon-sashimi and rolls all together non stop. Finally Friday comes along and it's sushi after work for sure! I call it in to pick it up and this time saying extra wasabi and ginger. They give me the right amount of sashimi finally and everything looked amazing! Couldn't wait this time to go crazy! I ordered the same thing again obviously except this time with you know the ginger and wasabi they didn't give me last time. They gave me so much wasabi I wasn't expecting and not so much ginger. I'd rather have them skimp on wasabi over ginger. But that's just me! Once I start going in they will remember for sure. I absolutely love ginger with my sushi. The salmon tasted fresh and I ate a lot of it in less than probably 30 minutes to an hour it was so good!
(4)Lauren M.
By far my favorite sushi restaurant ever! Everything is delicious there and you get so much for your money! They always give you a miso soup, a small salad and even a yummy/cute dessert at the end to enjoy with your meal. Service is always amazing and very personable! I bring all my family and friends here and hope you will too! Sake bombs are a must!!
(5)Bryan D.
Been there twice in the past three days, and I'm planning to go again today. GREAT variety of sushi and the service is second to none. Some of freshest sushi I've have in AZ. Sake Bombs and Spicy Tuna Bitches!!!

Tried this place because of yelp reviews. It did not disappoint. The prices are fantastic. If your in a discovery mood and want to try different things, check out their happy hour and combo deals. You can get half of one roll and half of another. I started with the sake bomb combo C and ordered a half arizona:half spicy roll. Delicious. The fish is fresh, no fishy taste. Gonna go back and try sashimi next. I'll let you guys know how it goes. Definitely worth going... Give it a try!!

Masa sushi never disappoints. My favorite is the monkey balls and the stuffed jalapeños. Great food, good prices keep me coming back.

So the menu is a little complicated, but they have some really good combo deals and for whatever you need you can simply ask. I will definitely be back to dine again. All fish was prepared well and at proper temperature. The miso soup and salad, and orange and apple desert were great additions to the meal.

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!

Strobe lights and music outside upon arrival of the restaurant. That's a first! Happy and greeting staff when we first walked in the restaurant. Menus are colorful and loaded with pictures for each dish! Great job! Miso soup and salad was provided prior to ordering! Awesome! Shared special combo 2 plate: #6 Palm Springs which included salmon rock 2 pieces (salmon with thinly sliced cooked onions and a yogurt sauce of some sort) spicy tuna roll 5 pieces and Fuji roll and eel roll. The eel pieces were a bit burnt as of there were no eel. Grand opening special: thinly sliced apples with caramel drizzled on too with half orange cut up into chunks with whipped cream and 2 choc pretzel sticks. Yum! Full at the end of dinner. Not bad!! They all said goodbye with happy faces! That's how it's done! ;)

So, Masa Sushi was really good! Started with a pleasant miso soup and a salad. Tasty soup, basic salad. Had the Tuna Tataki served with shredded Daikon, the tuna was soooo fresh and clean. Was great with a little wasabi and soy. The tempura platter - scallops, Cali roll, shredded veggie thing. All really tasty. Warning, they dot everything with a bit of Sriracha so if spicy isn't your thing... Spouse enjoyed her Philadelphia roll and a bowl of Udon. Very pleasant staff, good food, reasonable prices, all around enjoyable meal!

We got a flyer at our door step and we've decided to give this restaurant a try. This restaurant is very well decorated and the service is great. Their ice green tea is awesome and will definitely order it again. However, the sushi doesn't taste as fresh as I expected. Nevertheless, the prices are very reasonable and I don't mine going back to try something else.

First off the sushi was good and recommended but, only one server mid day on a Saturday. Maybe 6 tables with people and it was pretty slow service. Maybe dinner service is better. The temperature in the restaurant was too warm. Even my hamachi was sweating! This made it an experience I would not seek again even if the food was good.

For the first time in my life I left a sushi restaurant without eating all my food. We don't go out to eat sushi too often because of the cost and when we do it's a special treat. We wasted our money tonight. We sat at a table and were provided with menus, the menu is full of pictures. I read the menu many times and couldn't find nigiri sushi in it. Figured I could just order it and we did. Note, this restaurant does not or at least did not give us, the slip of paper where you write down what you are ordering, by the time the server came I had forgotten some of the things we wanted to order. We ordered Gyoza to start, when it came out I was surprised to see some of the wrappers were green. The menu just said they were Japanese Dumplings. Having ordered and made Gyoza many times I was surprised when I realized we got 3 vegetable and 3 pork Gyoza. I would be nice if the menu clarified this, didn't care for the flavor of the vegetable ones and the pork ones were bland, the accompanying ponzu sauce was watered down and did not taste anything like ponzu. Fail. We also ordered nigiri salmon and that was really good. Great! The rolls we ordered were blah, spicy tuna was sweet and then spicy and was just not good. The lobster roll was a big mistake, not sure why I would even order something like this. Fail on me. Now, I'd like to take a minute to comment on the service. When our gyoza came out, she asked us in a very condescending tone "oh you are splitting?" Well, it's an appetizer, yes we are splitting. Once the rolls and nigiri were brought out, we didn't see our server again. I had ordered hot tea and was pretty much out and needed a refill. I put my cup at the end of the table and waited until we could see someone to get their attention. Once the server came to our table, she looked at my daughter's half empty coke and told her she would be bringing a refill. I didn't have an opportunity to even ask her for another tea. Now I know servers don't read minds, but if you see someone's cup at the edge of the table it has to mean something. Does this cup need to be cleared, does this persone need more tea? Something! When she brought the coke I was done eating and just needed for my daughter to finish her food. I was over my need for tea. We sat and waited, and waited, and waited. Finally we stood up and went to the front desk and our server finally came. She asked us if the food was ok, we wanted to get out and said yeah. Liars, I know. She gave me a total, not an itemized bill. Just a total. I could very well have asked for one, but I was tired and had given up on this restaurant. There are things that you shouldn't have to ask for. An itemized bill is one of them. I gave the server my credit card and she gave me the receipts to sign and one to keep, nowhere was the tally of the items i ordered. While I was signing it, it came to me that this would be the first time I was not going to leave a tip. I just couldn't do it. Service and food was crappy. I should have known when we got there at 6:30 pm on a Saturday night and at the most, they had 5 tables.

This place has great sushi for really low prices. The staff is very friendly & on top of service. And the super yummy oranges & apple slices for dessert is heavenly! I highly recommend.

I've neglected my duties as a true Masa Sushi fan. I should've written this review sooner to share my love of this sushi destination. My roommates and I have long made special outings to the Gilbert location, because we enjoy the sushi so much. But imagine our anticipation, finding out that a new location was opening up in our neck of the woods... literally a hop, skip, and a jump away! The things we love about Masa Sushi is how hot Miso soup and a chilled salad are served immediately and are included with any meal. Ditto for the fresh fruit and pocky dessert! The service is warm and inviting, and we are recognized during repeat visits by the hostess and waitress here (although we have yet to make it onto their "wall" of Polaroids). We will have to shamelessly ask to be photographed, I suppose, on our next jaunt, but maybe before we stuff our faces with fresh fish goodness. It's a wonder they don't employ Oompah-Loompahs to roll us out after our bouts of fishy gluttony! Let me save you time on the menu, which is endless and dazzling. You must try the Monkey Balls! More of an appetizer, the Monkey Ball includes warm mushrooms, spicy tuna, and cream cheese on the inside and is deep-fried and drizzled with a special sauce on the outside. In fact, on all of their menu descriptions of their special rolls, a description is always given for what's "IN" and what's "OUT". This two-layered approach not only makes for great and interesting sushi, but is a novel way to find that perfect combination to satisfy your sushi cravings. My favorite is the Boston Roll (IN - shrimp, crab stick, salmon and avocado; OUT - baby lobster, baked cheese). It may sound funky, but it is delicious! This is a sushi roll that eats like a casserole! I've found that it is best complemented with sriracha (which you must ask for on the side) and soy sauce. There's plenty more to explore on the menu, but now that I've found my favorites, I'm sticking with them. Newcomers to Masa Sushi are encouraged to find their own favorite "INs" and "OUTs", because IN-and-OUT is what it's all about!

I've been wanting to try Masa Sushi for the longest time. I've had their Gilbert location bookmarked forever but I never seem to remember about the existence of the place whenever I crave that delicious raw fish. So when I went to Fry's one day and saw that they were opening one in my neck of the woods, I was ecstatic. [Fast forward a few months of long agonizing wait time] One day while getting the mail, I noticed there was a menu flyer on my car for Masa Sushi. Yes! So I stopped in that night with my dinner date during opening week last week and was pleasantly surprised by how busy this place was! Korean was being spoken by the workers, patrons were merrily eating and drinking, and we were seated by the nicest lady ever. We ended up getting The Superman Combo, Bomb Combo D, and the Yellowtail & Hawaiian half & half rolls. Everything was fresh and delicious! I was especially impressed by how thick the slices of sashimi were. I always hate it when a sushi joint goes stingy with their sashimi. Buzz kill. After doing some sake bombs and enjoying our free opening week dessert, we were asked to doodle on a Polaroid the took of us [Asian Glow like whoa], and we were done. By far the funnest opening week celebration ever. Plus the bill was 10% off! Masa Sushi is a tiny cozy restaurant with lots to offer: Their menu is jam packed with a million different combinations and half & half rolls options, the sake comes hot, and the service is great. Will definitely come back! :D

Finally I found a place for sushi!!! It was really sweet of them to serve salads and miso soups for free and dessert as well:) The restaurant was not too busy, so we could get good services! I had a salmon love roll and my friend had a beef udon. Both were delicious! Salmon was really fresh and my friend said the soup was super good too! I will see you guys soon masa! And thanks for the Polaroid photo:)

I'm not going to write a story because I'm not too happy about this experience, so I'll bullet point it... -Wife and I ate there Friday night, feeling fine (2nd time here) - Feeling indigestion and not too good through the night - Wife went home Monday from work with stomach issues, feeling under the weather - Tuesday morning I became violently I'll at at trade show in Florida - Thursday, still under the weather, stomach pains and lethargic so went to the doctor, concerned it was an appendicitis - Doctor is convinced it is food poisoning (E.Coli), and puts me on antibiotics Now I normally don't bash restaurants but this is unacceptable. We normally go to Sakana's in Ahwatukee where we have been dozens of times with no issues, but did not want to make the trip that night. This may have been a one-off for this place, but I'm convinced for the sheer fact my wife and I had similar symptoms (mine being much worse) that their prep and service made us ill. Will not be back again.

It didn't start well - we were served miso soup which was salty and uninspired as well as the usual "salad" consisting of iceberg lettuce, a few shreds of carrot, and dressing. It took a while to get our order and the food was not brought together - my sushi was brought well before my wife's noodles. It got better after that. The nigiri was very good - especially the mackerel. My wife really liked her noodle dish. It ended with the free desert for us to share that was beautiful to look at and delicious as well. It consisted of apple slices covered in honey, orange slices with whipped cream, and those chocolate covered sticks. The seating was comfortable and the noise level was quiet to average. If we come back it will be on the strength of the main dishes.

Got my food and saw a live sewer roach moving around on my sushi plate. I GOT THE HELL OUT OF THERE IN A BIG HURRY!!!!!!
(1)Polaris N.
I have been to both locations many times. This is my go-to sushi restaurant and a weekly addiction. The food here is always well prepared and delicious. I love the free salad, soup, and desert. No one else does that. The value and quality of the sushi can't be beat by anyone!
(5)Megan B.
This was an excellent meal! Start with a salad and soup, then the meal gyoza, sushi combos.. And last they finish with an orange with whip cream, honey, and a pocki cracker! Great value!! Spent $45 between the 2 of us! Much last less than our normal sushi run!!
(5)Erick H.
I purchased the Beef Teri + spicy tuna roll for lunch it was awesome great taste very well prepared and of course for the right price. Definitely enjoy going to masa since I first discovered their other location in Gilbert which is close to home and now this new place is near my work place real people fantastic food.
(5)Zhong Y.
This was surprisingly good. Stopped in on a Monday evening for a sushi & sashimi boat and a spider roll; the price was a bit on the high side, but portions were very generous and the quality and service was very good.
(4)Mike S.
Love this place! We used to go to the Gilbert location which is great as well, but there is something about this place that is just fantastic. We have been going there since it opened, the first week we went there 3 times and took a pic and put it on the wall all 3 times, as my girlfriend calls it the "hat trick". We have never had a bad experience here and even went it might have been one, the staff did everything to make it right. I am a big fan of the sashimi appetizer and I like the roll combos they offer, you can get 2 similar rolls as one, which is great, you get to have 2 different rolls and not have to get 2 full rolls. We always try and get something new when we go. My suggestion is go and try something, I know what i like when it comes to sushi and they have it. I also enjoy that they offer so much more than just the sushi and rolls. I highly suggest this place, one of my favorite sushi places in the valley!
(5)Andrew H.
Had to send the sushi back, the yellow tail was not light color but brown the tuna was burgundy in color, did not feel like going to the hospital to get stomach pumped. If you do go make sure you taste the fish before you venture to swallow. I just wish they could have been better.
(1)Chris C.
Awesome place. And you can mix your rolls like half and half....for someone like me who cant make up their mind, its awesome
(4)Cindy R.
I love Masa's I think they have the best sushi in the area. Their Gilbert location is always busy. The Chandler location is not. I kind of want to keep this a secret but they have a ton more space here and the same excellent sushi! It's lunch time and I have the whole place to myself and my lunch with soup and salad $6! Love it! Update 8/2/14- food is still awesome but the waitress service was awful. We had to ask for drink refills, we had to ask for my daughter teriyaki that I could see on the counter, we had to ask for our bill. Our waitress who I am guessing was a manager was busy counting her register drawer, then visiting in the back with a different staff member. My husband said never again but that would be hard since the sushis so good!

Stopped by to check this place out after driving past it many times. It was completely empty when I walked in. That should've been the first sign. It seemed like it had really good deals for happy hour but now I understand why. The sushi was lackluster, the yellowtail was dry, tough, and seemed old. The mussels, I was only able to stomach down one. If you're going to spend any amount of money I suggest driving down the street about five or 6 miles to Mikado. It is much better. To say the least. Definitely will not be going back here to eat sushi anytime soon.
(1)Trish N.
This is one of my favorite sushi places, I've been going here since the first Gilbert location opened. I like that they give free soup, salad, and dessert. I like eating raw fish so I find the spicy tuna salad and their special rolls (red dragon etc. ) to be really good. I am sad to read reviews about people getting sick. I hope that's not the case, and Masa is making changes to assure that doesn't happen again.
(4)Sarah W.
So first off let me say that I am absolutely 110% excited that they opened a second location over by my condo and was so excited to get my butt in there to see how they do compared to the original location. Unfortunately I was craving them the other night and decided to get take out to bring home. So they got my food ready quick and I could have swore the salmon combo was supposed to come with 5-6 pieces of sashimi. Mine came with 3 not that big of a deal really so its okay. The only thing that bummed me out to the extreme was that when I had already gotten home and was all over diving into my food then the unthinkable happened!! NO WASABI OR GINGER!!!! Both of those two things are extremely crucial in my sushi binging. I cannot tell you how upset I was last night going home to realize I did not have the essentials to eat my sushi. Im upset even just thinking of it last night. Its not like wasabi and ginger are readily available at the grocery store to buy in bulk. So I would have to go out of my way to go all the way back to get wasabi and ginger when normally it's included. That is my only pet peeve at the moment. And hoping that it won't happen again and I'm hoping to god the one waitress from the other location didn't follow because it's very annoying having someone constantly asking if you need anything or if you are done etc etc. Update! *5/9/2014 All week I've been craving more salmon-sashimi and rolls all together non stop. Finally Friday comes along and it's sushi after work for sure! I call it in to pick it up and this time saying extra wasabi and ginger. They give me the right amount of sashimi finally and everything looked amazing! Couldn't wait this time to go crazy! I ordered the same thing again obviously except this time with you know the ginger and wasabi they didn't give me last time. They gave me so much wasabi I wasn't expecting and not so much ginger. I'd rather have them skimp on wasabi over ginger. But that's just me! Once I start going in they will remember for sure. I absolutely love ginger with my sushi. The salmon tasted fresh and I ate a lot of it in less than probably 30 minutes to an hour it was so good!
(4)Lauren M.
By far my favorite sushi restaurant ever! Everything is delicious there and you get so much for your money! They always give you a miso soup, a small salad and even a yummy/cute dessert at the end to enjoy with your meal. Service is always amazing and very personable! I bring all my family and friends here and hope you will too! Sake bombs are a must!!
(5)Stephanie D.
My husband and I went to Masa one Friday night to have dinner. The place was completely dead. Which was surprising for a Friday evening at dinner time. We ordered a few rolls and some beer and sake. The rolls were subpar at best, and looked mediocre. I think we were pretty lucky that most of the rolls we picked were cooked as the fish was NOT fresh at all. Later that evening my husband had excruciating stomach pains. Long story short, we both got e-coil from this place, he worse than I (I'm assuming because he ate the spicy tuna roll and I didn't). He had to be put on antibiotics it was so bad. Needless to say, we will not be returning ever again. I'm not risking our health again.
