Holy Moly!!! What a GEM!!!! Me & my fiance decided to go to a sushi spot, when we had arrived, it was shut down.. I was so upset. So we went to google, Masa kept popping up after adding specific filters (Sake specifically), so we decided to take a chance. When we walked in, I felt warm & cozy. 3 families inside, a family activity hugging a few serves and just all around inviting atmosphere. You can tell people come here on the regular. We ended up buying a few things. My favorite were the Jalapeño Poppers & the Lobster popcorn roll. Let me explain this diabolically mouth watering Popcorn Lobster Roll to you. It's been 12hrs since I've ate it, I'm still drooling over it. The little lobster balls are like "Hush Puppies". They hushed my a$$ up. 3 balls in my mouth at all times because I couldn't get enough. The roll itself was super basic, which is totally fine, because the LOBSTER BALLS WERE AMAZING. It makes up for it truly. I felt my youth come back a bit biting into chose little lobster balls. My life is forever changed. read more

A bit disappointed with the service. The food quality went down. Not sure if it was due to the amount of people but nothing was on par like it used to be. The food was decent at best. I don't know if we will ever be returning. read more

"Life is better with a sushi roll in hand." ― Chrissy Teigen Ah, I use to live by a Masa Sushi and then they closed down. I completely forgot that I had always wanted to try this Gilbert location until someone had invited me to their birthday celebration. I got my usual go-to at Masa Sushi: Salmon Love Combo for $23.95. The Norwegian marketing campaign in the 1980s that introduced parasite-free farmed salmon helped kickstart salmon being eaten raw and for that I am grateful. Salmon, with hamachi/yellowtail being a close second, is one of my favorite fishes to eat raw and at Masa, it's decent! Listen, this isn't a high-end fancypants place but they're lovely, they get your food done correctly, and it's a great experience. read more

"Heyyy, you were probably the product of your parents' New Year's Day ..." Let's not finish that because I, a Virgo, am traumatized. Thanks, J-Wow. I have a brother that has a birthday three days after mine. As we've gotten older, joint-birthdays have become a thing. I don't mind but sometimes we have a difference in opinions on where we want to go to celebrate for dinner. He wants sushi and I want KBBQ. Masa Sushi was our compromise. I liked my meal. It was a Galbi Teppanyaki Combo. It came with fried rice, short ribs (galbi), and tuna rolls. It hit the spot. There used to be a Masa Sushi about half a mile away from my house so it was nice to pop into Masa again. Good eats. read more

We really like this place. It definitely has a Japanese bar vibe. There are lanterns and lots of Japanese parasols hanging from the ceiling. It definitely is a warmer, more colorful, slightly darker lit place than you'd think in the middle of the day in a strip mall restaurant. Its cozy! There are some likely Japanese chotchkes (like a little daruma) throughout. The coolest thing, though, is what had to be thousands of photos of people who have come here to dine and celebrate. The walls are covered! The menu had quite a few good choices--bentos, boats, platters, and lots more. We chose: *A bottle of Fuji apple sake *Bento E (spicy tuna roll, assorted nigiri, mixed tempura with gyoza, chicken teriyaki) served with miso soup and salad *Bento C (assorted sashimi, tuna roll, salmon teriyaki, mixed tempura with gyoza) served with Miss soup and salad We got a lot of delicious food, and it was a great bang for the buck! Service here is always good, too. read more

The ambiance and service were average, wasn't bad nor was it special. Pictures in the wall were fun to look at. The food was below average. Specifically the miso soup was bad and the some of the sushi was okay and other sushi was bad. Picture shows one of the bad sashimi pieces. The prices seem to match other sushi places, but not worth the sushi we received. Still looking for great sushi in Phoenix read more

I hope the owner reads their reviews, especially the negative ones. I understand you had to raise prices but to half the vegetables for tempura and charge for sauce (when they give so little to begin with), doesn't warrant a trip back. read more

I have been coming to Masa for years! Masa is perfect for a quick lunch out and to avoid the downtown Gilbert crowds. Service can be hit or miss, it seems as though they typically just have one server and one person making sushi. This was the case for our most recent visit so it took a bit for our food to come out and I did have to ask for the check. Masa is a cozy little spot and the sushi is always consistent, love that they provide complimentary miso soup & salad. Some of our favorites include; assorted nigiri, killer shrimp roll, popcorn lobster roll, masa volcano and the crunch roll. read more

My first time dining here this past weekend. We typically order through delivery. The experience was quite good. It's a mom and pop located in Gilbert, would say the food was very delicious. The price was right as well. We ordered mostly sashimi, hand roll each and toro nigiri. For me, likely the better raw sushi I have had in the closet vicinity. The place is filled with Polaroids of patrons over the years which makes the decor fun. Our server was sweet and was very attentive. Overall I think I would definitely come back! read more

I always drive by this place and have kept telling myself I will stop by. Well the day finally came and we made a little visit on Friday evening. We were greeted as we walked in but waited a few minutes to be seated. There was one big group, a couple smaller groups, and there were only two waitresses running around. We sat down, ordered some waters, and looked over the menu. We ordered: Two orders of Shrimp Tempura One order of stuffed jalapeños One midnight roll One Mexican roll One crunch roll Miso soup and salad The miso soup and salad came out right away and they were both good. The miso soup was not hot enough though and would've tasted better if it had been! The shrimp tempura and stuffed jalapeños were the bombbbbbbb. The tempura was crispy and hot! The stuffed jalapenos were a creamy goodness and they had a very nice kick to them. Our crunch roll and Mexican roll came out not too long after and we enjoyed them both. The Mexican roll had so much flavor and was very filling. The crunch roll was another fave and we wanted moreeee. The midnight roll was baked and it was finally dropped off when we were done with the other two. The midnight roll was unfortunately a hard pass for us as it was very mushy and left us with a gross aftertaste. We gave it two tries and nope, its still a pass so we left it there... Service was very slow, our waters were never refilled, and it took forever to get our check. The servers were friendly but they definitely seemed stressed. Didn't see a "hiring" sign up front but they definitely need the extra help. We were thanked and said "bye" to from the cooks and servers as we walked out the door which was nice. We will be back on a weeknight next so they wont be as busy! read more

We have been here several times. They are efficient and the food is good. Last night we called around 7:50 to see if they had room for a party of 3 and they told us they would by the time we got there. When we walked in they already had the table set for us which was awesome. I ordered hot green tea, seaweed salad and the vegetarian combo. The combo was delicious. Unfortunately the seaweed salad was frozen in spots, most likely because they were closing in an hour and didn't have any out. I asked for a new one and they brought it but it was still frozen in some spots. They took it off the bill and took it back. Not a big deal at all, I'm sure it was just because of the time. I usually get it and it's delicious. read more

My go to sushi spot in Gilbert. It can be hit or miss sometimes but overall it's worth it.

Stopped by after going to the bike shop a few doors down. It was packed ar 5:15 PM. I ordered the yellow tail sashimi. Perfect temperature and delicious, with a delightful texture. Would absolutely order the gyoza again--finely minced, tender pork. The mixed tempura had onion, sweet potato, zucchini, and shrimp. It was twice the size I expected and super yummy. Although the veggies were served in the traditional tempura way, the shrimp was fried in a different kind of batter, more like a panko. It was ok..and I prefer the traditional tempura style like they cooked the veggies. I will def be back! read more

My family and I used to come here very often ages ago! Life happens and we just haven't came back but we had dinner here the other day and it did not disappoint! We ordered the Seaweed Salad, Galbi Teppanyaki Bento with Spicy Tuna, Fuji Roll without cream cheese and Energy Roll. They also still serve complimentary miso soup and side salad! Everything was amazing. The salmon on the Fuji Roll was fresh and thick. The Energy Roll actually has eel on it! A lot of places would have rolls with eel and give very minimal but not here. The Spicy Tuna didn't taste fishy and had a sesame sweet flavor, thank goodness! Service was great and food came out quick considering there was only 1 server and multiple tables. Would definitely come again! read more

Love this place, probably my fave sushi spot at the moment. The quality to price ratio is perfect, not paying high prices for average sushi like at RA and also not cheaping out on quality like at some of these revolver belt style joints. read more

Wow. I'm a foodie. I will eat pretty much anything. But it's rare, especially for a sushi place, to blow me away.

We have been meaning to try this place for a while now and finally did tonight. It was a great start but it definitely fizzled out by the end. The food was yummy, but the service was very spotty. I loved the atmosphere and their decorations were great. Our waitress was good at the beginning but we struggled with getting her attention to order more drinks, and then had to flag her down for dessert and the check. They also have a lot of advertisements for happy hour, but it is nothing I would call happy hour and is just standard menu pricing. We had their gyoza, edamame, and two sushi rolls. All were tasty but standard. We enjoyed trying it out but unfortunately will probably not be returning. Pros: *No seating wait *Nice atmosphere *Decent food *Lots of variety *Good Japanese Beer selection Cons: *Slow service *Expensive read more

This has always been our go to spot for sushi. The service and food is always delicious and quick. I will say though I'm not sure if it was pre Covid, but they used to give you a nice little sliced apples and orange dessert with a chocolate stick at the end of your meal which I always thought was cool and set this place apart from other sushi spots, but all this to say they no longer do this anymore. Still a solid spot for sushi for us and we still enjoy coming here, but I wish they would bring back the dessert. read more

When you walk in they asked me to sit anywhere, I guess since it wasn't busy. I ordered water then Ahi tuna 5ps sashimi yummy fresh taste $7.50. I then ordered the California Roll combo with tempura roll (needed more tempura crunch)$8.95 and the Mesa Maki $12.95. Let's talk about the Mesa Maki, I picked this one well I haven't had it before and I wanted something different. Inside: avocado, spicy tuna, imitation crab (I asked), cucumber and tempura shrimp rolled with green lettuce, wrapped with soy paper and finished with sesame seeds! This was refreshing light, carb friendly? No rice, except for that little rice paper gem that Adds a extra crunch level! Between the time I was done, until a server came over was about 10 min, they were talking, one was training the new server. I get it, place is mixed with just a touch of uniqueness with the polorid pictures around the walls...thousands? Celebrations? Memories, that what I like about this place, celebration of family, community and a since of home. Give this place a shot I surely do not belive you will be disappointed! Thank you to the Sushi artists as well! read more

Went Friday night for some sushi. We haven't been to Masa in a year we were in the neighborhood and decided to go. We did change it up we usually got sushi rolls, but this time we tried a combo meal. It was perfect! My wife can't eat a lot of rice and that makes her question whenever I want sushi. She's afraid it will be too much rice. These two items have rice but at a much better ratio. So it was a perfect dinner. The service is very good with the exception of the periodic dish being placed into the bus cart. Good is always great and we were glad to see that it's staying great! A wonderful family spot or individual. read more

My partner and I visited this place out of curiosity and it was absolutely excellent. The service was great- they were always punctual, attentive, and not too overbearing. Plus, the staff was very welcoming. I love their collection of figurines outside the sushi bar as well, giving it a personable ambiance. The food was absolutely amazing and quality. Best of all, it was for a great price! Definitely will be coming back here when my partner and I have some throw money and some time together for dinner another night. However sometimes their tables are hit and miss. There were times I saw quite a bit of debris under a few tables and sometimes the tables feel sticky. Again, phenomenal job otherwise Masa Sushi team. Just be aware of these things next time. read more

Probably some of the most affordable sushi in the area. Not only was happy hour all day, everyday (except for Sunday) but their menu was pages long with innovative rolls and rice based dishes. However, the fish quality was variable and their tuna was notably bad. Parking was quite easy and they do take out orders well. Despite making several large orders, Masa Sushi has managed to always complete them early. Although their website mentioned fancy to go boxes, my fish came in regular Styrofoam containers. Albeit not fancy, I preferred my sushi orders to be accurate which they were. =ORDERED= *Chirashi: came with 15 assorted sashimi pieces plus a piece of crab and shrimp over sushi rice. Sushi rice was seasoned well despite being on the mushier side. Extremely cost effective for such a variety and the sashimi was sliced thickly. Yellowtail, albacore and salmon were my favorite cuts while the tuna was by far the worst. Tuna was inedible and so fishy I spat it out immediately. The snapper had a strange texture that disintegrated in my mouth. The crab and shrimp smelled funny. *Platinum Sashimi Platter: came with 40 assorted sashimi pieces with two bowls of rice. Considering the 20 piece came with one bowl and the 30 piece had two, I wished this platter had three bowls instead of two. Notably this was regular white rice with furikake seasoning instead of sushi rice. The sashimi pieces were similarly thicker but also shorter. Once again the salmon and yellowtail were the best but we were disappointed in how small the pieces were. *Large Sashimi + Sushi Combo: came with 9 assorted sashimi pieces, 6 nigiri, and a choice of a tuna, salmon, albacore, or yellowtail roll. I chose the salmon roll and I was impressed by how filled the regular roll was. Not only was the rice stellar but the nori had a pleasant sesame flavor too. The sashimi pieces were the smallest in this order. The snapper nigiri was on the harder side and the albacore was very cold--almost still frozen. Although the regular salmon roll was my favorite of everything I tried, I didn't find the combo to be as worthwhile considering it was similarly priced as the platter. Personally would stick to their regular rolls and happy hour deals. The yellowtail and salmon were consistently good while all the other fish were mediocre to inedible. Pricing was excellent but note that the variety came with gems and duds. read more

Stopped in to Masa for the first time ever and I'm so glad we did! The atmosphere, service, and food is all fantastic! They have an awesome happy hour special that seems to last the entire day and the staff are all so welcoming and hospitable. This quickly has become our family's favorite sushi spot in town! All our food came with a complimentary soy and salad. Loved the salad and the dressing but since Our family isn't big on soup I can't speak to that. We ordered the half n half chicken teriyaki with cali roll, the cali + crunch half n half rolls, the tiger roll and the spider roll and loved it all! You should definitely check this place out! read more

Been coming to Masa for over a decade and always had been happy with both food and service . Had lunch here today and there were 2 tables other than ours that had customers (so not at all a busy arena) but the server seemed not interested in serving our table ( 3 of us) from getgo . When they charge you for condiments like Sriracha sauce ( akin to charging for ketchup) and on top of that you get the clear picture that you are not going to be treated like the others .. i am okay with not returning for this type of service. read more
