Tucked away in the corner this place gets very crowded. The sushi is fresh and the service is really good. Since covid and the lack of staff, you can order you food from an app and then they just bring it out to your table. read more

Masa Sushi - Maddie girl - Japanese Near Me - Princeton, New Jersey

I have been waiting to review this place. I have gone here about five times. The sushi has been fresh every time. It is made to order. I have gone alone, on a date, and with friends and have enjoyed the food and environment each time. The staff is nice. If the place is crowded, however, try to put in your requests when you have access to a server because they tend to get busy and leave you waiting a bit. All you can eat specialty rolls are delicious! Give this place a try. Oh and it's BYOB! ;) This is my go to spot for sushi in this area! Give this place a try. read more

the food was delicious and extremely fresh! BUT beware the service is not good. almost all of the servers have an attitude and i've come many times and there service is always the same. read more

Their sushi's the Bomb (Yeah Im an 80s-90s kid). I really have no idea how they can serve quality sushi at these prices. It just doesn't make sense. It's like voodoo economics or something. The ambience: the place is rather elegant, truly a romantic place for a date. The lights are dimly lit at night. Service: the place is packed. Yet the service is relatively quick. Once they start serving you, they will keep bringing your plates a la Brazilian rodizio style. Prices: for the value you get, I actually consider it cheap. But in actual dollars it's not the cheapest. But defitnley worth it. read more

This place has completely fell off the wagon from the last time we came here. First, the new ordering system makes no sense. You have to prepay online and include tip before you get any food. Afterwards, you then get to order from the typical paper system done previously. As such, this really doesn't make sense from a COVID perspective. Next, all, and I mean all, of the food is served on paper plates and French fry baskets. This cannot solely be for COVID purposes because it just seems as if they don't have a dishwasher or maybe they got a deal at the plazas Dollar General. Why would we ever pay to dine out at a restaurant to be served like Im at someone's cookout? Lastly, we found plastic wrap in our sushi. Need I say anymore? Just avoid this place. read more

I have loved Masa Sushi for over 8 years now, but man, not only has the price increased, but the quality has fallen off as well. Everything is served on cafeteria style plating. It really ruins the experience. The way you order is also unnecessary, and confusing. Service is subpar as well. They lost a lot of their good servers. Unfortunately, my last visit might just be my last. read more

My son got the pad Thai with beef and added friend rice and he loved it. We got some sashimi and I got the Chilean sea bass and it was excellent. Great service and reasonable in price. Glad we stumbled on this place!9 read more

Service has definitely gone downhill unfortunately. Servers are pretty inattentive unless you flag them down and you constantly have to remind them of the food from your order that they completely missed. Quality of food is fine but the service is just not good. read more

One of the best AYCE sushi places I've been due to their selection and the quality of their fish. My favorite appetizer is the spicy seaweed salad. I also really like the rock shrimp (my friends always look at me weirdly when I order it but they end up enjoying it) with the really awesome tasting sauce they have on the side. I also wanted to order a croquette but they were out of those. I generally like their rolls but do find that a lot of them have shrimp tempura in them and wish there was a bit more variety. I should mention that I generally don't get sashimi in America after being spoiled by the sashimi and poke in Japan and Hawaii, but I'll eat a few pieces of the salmon here. As for the service, it was a bit slow... I would recommend just ordering the bulk of your meal in your first order, and if you want to order more, ask for the ordering sheet when you still have food on the table. We all know that once you stop eating at AYCE, how full you are suddenly hits you! I also wasn't a fan of the new ordering system (probably implemented due to COVID?). You order your first round via your phone and pay through your phone, but subsequent orders are placed through the waiter. I don't really get what they're trying to achieve with this system. Lastly, everything was served on paper plates, which was a bit strange for sushi. It makes it seem less fancy, but I'll give them a pass since we're in the midst of a pandemic. read more

Can't beat the great value of all you can eat lunch! We did dine in, and it got busy quickly. I did not really like the online system of ordering/paying as the website was clunky on my smart phone. We had to double check with the server that my order went through because the website didn't give me a confirmation. You would have to tip before you eat if you want to pay with the credit card - I tipped with cash after the meal instead. They seemed understaffed and the shrimp tempura took a long time to come out, but overall we were happy with the quality of the sashimi, sushi, tempura, etc. Allergen info: the sauce that comes with the rock shrimp tempura has nuts. It looks like spicy Mayo so I did not question it but it triggered an allergic reaction. read more

Always great food and great service. Everything comes out quickly and fresh. Have been several times and never a bad experience. Would recommend read more

Excellent sushi. I got the lunch deal, any two sushi rolls plus a salad or soup for about 12 bucks. They have an all you can eat option, but I would want to go with a bunch of other people to ensure that. I saw four college-age guys I had another table getting a gargantuan platter of sushi, which they managed to take care of entirely. read more

This place was recommended by a Japanese coworker. She said "buffet" and was immediately turned off. Yes they offer an "all you can eat" option but it is NOT a buffet. Your orders are made fresh at the time of order. Lunch is roughly 20$+ tip and dinner is roughly 29$+tip each person. If you can, go during lunch. Dinner gets a bit hectic. Pro Tip. Place a larger first order. It seems to me that secondary order takes way longer almost as a deterrent and it also seems that the slices of sushi/sashimi get slightly smaller. Gyoza and shumai are not good. Stick to the sushi here its very good. Yellowtail, red snapper and spanish mackerel sashimi are very good Rainbow roll was excellent as well. For the value this place is unstoppable. read more

Although I saw all the somewhat concerning reviews, I have only had good experiences at this restaurant. Every time I've shown up it's been extremely busy and despite that have been seated in a timely manner. For the price and AYCE aspect, the food is good. Servers are very attentive and polite. My new go to sushi spot when in this area! read more

This is a sushi buffet restaurant, they are Opening for dinner at 4pm.You can order everything what you like, the red tuna fish only offer you on sushi dishes, they don't offer the red tuna fish for sashimi,I think maybe it's more expensive than other fish, and finally I like Tonkotsu Roman better than other noddles, it kind of like Japanese recipe pork add to rich flavor soup. read more

really yummy sushi! Loved all of the different options. The service was a little slow but the staff were overall friendly. A good thing to note is that the portions of the appetizers that are not sushi can be very large compared to other all you can eat. Sushi places so if you do not want to fill up on other items that are not sushi. I would definitely make sure you split the appetizers with other people because there is so much. The sushi was really fresh and yummy. I would definitely go here again. read more

Masa Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Princeton, New Jersey

Good selection of tasty sushi and sashimi. No complaints about the service. My favorite place when I go to Princeton.

Masa sushi is the place you want to eat at. You check off what you want and the food comes to you. The service was nice and the food was delicious. read more

Went with grandkids for the All- you-can-Eat menu. Food didn't disappoint. Fish were fresh. Loved that they have hot foods on the menu too! read more

Excellent sushi, sashimi, and appetizers! Miso eggplant, karaage chicken, shrimp tempura, miso soup, seaweed salad, edamame. The protip is to simply do the specialty rolls and sashimi. No extra rice. You only get one order to tick off on the papers so balance the whole order from the top! . Looks like it's somehow not open and shut from the outside but don't be fooled! Inside it's got great ambiance, and it's by far the best place for sushi in town. Strange location but a secret gem of Princeton for those who know. I mean who can beat all you can eat sushi/sashimi for lunch or dinner at $26/29?! read more

I should've known this place was not up to par when looking at their 3.5 star rating before arriving there. I waited nearly 30 minutes to receive two sushi roll, one hand roll and the other special roll. One of the workers came up to me and asked if I ordered yet and I told them yes, I've been waiting for a while for a small order. It felt like they forgot to place my order in as soon I walked into this establishment. I offered to show my receipt but was told it was not needed as he finally located my order at the front desk. It was ok or busy at all, around 5:20 on a Wednesday. I'm in no rush but I continued to wait as they finally stated my order. I got it and realized one of my sushi rolls, the California Roll did not have cucumber slices in it. Every time I order this particular roll there's always crab meat, avocado, and cucumber. I felt like they were lacking on my order. I didn't want to be a bother but I ended up going back inside and told them I didn't see any cucumber in it and asked why. They said that's just how we make it here. I should've told them that well next time let the customer know because this is not standard, not to me at least. Sushi is not cheap! I was annoyed by their response, was craving sushi, and was hungry so I took my order and continued to eat it. If that happens to you I recommend getting your money back because the long wait when less then 6 people was there on a slow day plus forgetting to make my order when I placed it was undeserving! Head to you regular sushi place, don't be like me and try THIS place because of convenience, no! At least they make my order in a timely matter and I know what to expect. Their California and Volcano Rolls are trash, poor tasting quality. I'm surprised this establishment is located in a very nice/decent location in Princeton, NJ. Their rating will decrease for me. Never going back there not matter how pretty or close this establishment is! read more

This place is a joke. We ordered the all-you-can-eat menu and brought our sixteen-month-old son. We only gave him one spoon for the miso soup and still charged us for his meal. It's not just about the fifteen dollars; it's the way they treated us as customers. I will not be coming back here, and no longer recommend this place. read more

Great byob, great food and for the price you can't beat the all you can eat. Sometimes everything you order doesn't come out at the same time or at all if it's real busy so make sure you remember what you ordered read more

This place is the worst. The all you can eat deal means you order a roll, it takes an hour to show up, them your don't see the waiter again for an hour. The sushi is microwaved and the service is poor. Don't waste your time or money. Very poor quality, noisy, dark, lousy service. Paper plates. read more

Masa Sushi - Paper plate with sushi. - Japanese Near Me - Princeton, New Jersey

My daughter and I came here for lunch. They had a sushi buffet but since we didn't plan to eat more than 2 rolls each, we just ordered off their lunch menu. Prices are good for the combo rolls. And sushi was ok. Food came quickly although the servers working there that day did not. I would stop in again and try the all you can eat sushi since the price per person was good and would like to try the other rolls they offered. read more

Do not order bbq eel fried rice. Bland taste with one small piece of eel. Wont order from them. Money wasted

ate here and not even an hour later was on the toilet for a good 30mins. Music was nice and service was a little slow. wouldn't come back as the sushi was very watery and juicy when you bit it like it had been frozen for a while. my stomach agreed. read more

Most people go to Masa's for their all you can eat deal but the party tray option is perfect for takeouts. $53 for 4 regular roll and 3 special roll. All the rolls are fresh and delicious. You can't really go wrong with anything but I high recommend tri-me and dragon roll. read more

Masa Sushi - Party Tray one- 4 regular roll and 3 special roll - Japanese Near Me - Princeton, New Jersey

The food was mediocre at best. The service was terrible. The server didn't ask us what we wanted to drink until 9 minutes after we sat down. Another 20 minutes go by and they come to our table to ask what we would like to order. The cups were very dirty, and looked like they had been dragged through the dirt, put in the toilet, and then filled with tea. read more

Aside from the excuse of short staff and still serving in paper plates till now, the quality has drastically gone down over the years. Servers do not have sections so it's whoever walks your way hoping to wave them down. Some of our sushi was room temperature blended mush. We left about 10 pieces of sushi and were given a pep talk on excess waste for next time. I explained it wasn't due to being full but because it was simply unpleasant and not fresh. Don't worry about next time, we won't be back. There are much better AYCE sushi restaurants in the area. read more

You get what you pay for. The quality of the sushi is okay. it's $20 pp for all you can eat sushi lunch. Can't expect for more. I highly recommend get the special rolls and sashimi. Skip the sushi section (cut down the carb). Don't just order raw sushi just because you think you want to get your money worth. Their kitchen food selection is surprisingly delicious. read more

Came here for the unlimited sushi - dinner special ($25.99). I had a great time with friends. Things to know, BYOB, no particular waitress per table, and don't over order! BYOB - bring your favorite beers, wines, liquors here to share with your table. They provide glasses and ice if needed. Service - so, it wasn't great but they were quick. The restaurant doesn't have a set waitress for each table. It's kinda a free for all. You need to flag down any waitress and they will process your order. I did love how quick everything came out. Each table is assigned 2 pages with the menu and pencils. Check off your Order and hand off to be processed. Ordering - so many delicious options. From single rolls, shashimi, basic rolls, and specialty rolls. They did a great job at focusing on the seafood and not filling you up with rice. The seafood was fresh. The rolls were nicely displayed. I was very satisfied with all the rolls I ordered. Great tasting for sure! Overall, loved my experience. They were super friendly and super busy. I recommend getting your food and going. This place is fast turn over, not a place you want to linger all night. They want to fill you up and see you go! I will certainly come back. Don't complain about the service. The food is good and it's super cheap! Enjoy your experience! I know i did!!!! read more

I have been to this place countless times but never really had what you can call a good experience on the service side, but the sushi was always excellent. Few of my friends came to visit over the weekend and decided to take them to this all you can eat place, and I'm really glad I did, our service was the best, our server was amazing her name was Zara, I thought it was Sarah at first and had a good laugh about it as we were spelling it together. She was amazing, polite, and wonderful at what she does, we did not have to ask for anything, she had everything under control and keep in my mind it was extremely busy but she was running in every direction, she took care of us, laughed with us and had our food coming out in timely manner. This is the kind of service that makes us want to come back, on many occasions before I taught the servers in this place were really rude but this is different . I don't know if she is new but it looks like she loves what she does and I'm glad they got a server that actually make customers feel home. I would totally come black to this place. read more

Masa is one of the best all you can eat sushi restaurants in the area. I use to frequent this restaurant a lot prior to COVID and came here for the second time post COVID. I loved seeing that the restaurant gets filled with customers however service has lately been okayyy. Our first visit after COVID, we didn't get all the sushi rolls we ordered. Our second visit, the front desk seemed a little overwhelmed bc they didn't acknowledge me or any customers waiting to place our names on the wait list and we were sat right in front of the entrance to the kitchen. (Unfortunately for the table next to us, they never got their food during the entirety of our stay! Their waitress told them their order was never placed bc of the app). Before Covid, menus were handed out but now you have to scan a QR code, and place your order online which then goes to the kitchen. I noticed a section on the restaurant is closed off for take-out pickups however it is a sight for sore eyes.... The section is filled with tables covered with plastic bags, menus, plywood and whatever else's the restaurant uses. I don't understand why but the restaurant seats people in that section, I kept over hearing customers ask if they could be seated elsewhere. Another thing I noticed is Masa now uses paper plates. I understand restaurants have taken a toll with the pandemic and I'm happy to see people eating at Masa but I do feel some minor work needs to be focused on. Decided to give Masa 4 stars because the quality of the food is great, especially for it being all you can eat and I know how awesome the restaurant was before COVID. I love that the food is presented so beautifully and it's always fresh! Bonus points is that it's also BYOB! read more

Solid lunch sushi spot. Various lunch specials, even for those that don't eat raw fish. There is also an all you could eat option, but wasn't in the mood to stuff my face. There was an option to choose 2 rolls for $8.95 or 3 rolls for $10.95. Both options come with the choice of soup or salad. I got the salad which was okay. Just some romaine lettuce, shredded carrots, and peanut dressing. They could definitely add a little more to it, maybe some tomatoes and cucumbers. Most Japanese places provide a similar type salad, but it's something that should change. The people deserve a better side salad. For rolls, I had the spicy tuna, california, and alaska rolls. All were very good, and the rice to fish ratio was good. Not an overabundance of rice, but just right. The spicy tuna wasn't too spicy, which I enjoyed. Seats had cushions, so it was comfortable. Service was good. Water was refilled regularly. Food took some time to come out, but we were in no rush. Overall, lunch was delightful here. When I am in the area again, I would definitely consider returning. read more

My girlfriend and I met up here on a Friday evening for dinner, primarily because it appeared to be a decent option centrally located between the two of us. Needless to say, we were both pleasantly surprised with our tasty appetizer and sushi rolls. On top of that, Masa has a nice ambiance and decor along with friendly and efficient service. We ordered the vegetable gyoza as an appetizer and it was cooked perfectly and served nice and warm. Our rolls included Boston roll, sweet potato roll, shrimp tempura roll, and one of the speciality rolls (it was named some thing like Barbuda). I'm a fan of sweet potato rolls and I must say this was one of the better sweet potato rolls I've had! The other three rolls were also good. Masa also offers some lunch specials as well as an all you can eat menu. The all you can eat price for dinner is $24.95 and lunch is $18.95. I look forward to going back again for either a lunch special or to indulge in the all you can eat option. read more

I've been a Masa customer since it's opening. It's one of the best sushi places in the area!

The quality of the staff and food are excellent, the only complaint I have is that if you get the "all you can eat" they seem to stop coming to your table or brining you menus after the first order. read more

4 Stars because: it's better than Sushi Palace. This place is nice and food is good. In my opinion it's better than Sushi Palace in terms of freshness and the quality of sushi. It has the same basic ordering layout, you get sheets to order your meal from and they bring it out to you. It's AYCE. The place has nice, clean decore that is updated and has a lavish feel. On the downside some areas feel a bit cramped. And it's become quite popular so it's often packed with people. I don't come here that often even though I feel it's one of the better AYCE sushi joints. It's just on the more expensive side for these kinds of places and for that I'd rather check out a new joint or eat steak. Regardless though if you do come here you will probably leave happy and satisfied! read more

This is both a regular restaurant and an all you can eat place. You mark what you want on the papers and they bring it out to you. We got all of our food really quickly and the hot items were hot, cold items, cold. I had no real big issues with the food, except that the sushi was not super fresh--I got a bit of a stomachache afterwards, but I'm a little more sensitive. But what can you expect for an all you can eat place? Very reasonably priced--for lunch, it was less than $20. read more
