    Well we came back again.... because ya know. I'm a convert now. This place never ever disappoints. It is so good. I'm so afraid to try sushi anywhere else because my peeps keep telling me this place is amazing and other places don't come close. So why fix it if it ain't broken.

    We came to Masago for sushi and everything was really fresh! The service was so well - they were very attentive in refilling our glasses of water and giving us lemons when we asked for it. The sushi was very quickly served and I loved their Singapore noodles. Everything tasted really amazing!

    Nice sushi spot! The sushi pizza appetizer was delicious. A great appetizer. The sushi we had for dinner was good but a little mediocre. Service was great! Very nice waiters and waitresses. Ambiance is cozy.

    Shrimp Tempura Roll
    Nikko A.

    One of my friends recommended Masago to me and I couldn't have been happier that they did! First of all the price is unbeatable. Salmon avocado rolls are usually at least $7 but here they are $5. The quality of the sushi is also unreal and I could taste the freshness of my salmon and in my shrimp tempura rolls. The restaurant was super clean and the staff were super friendly. I cannot recommend this place enough, 10 out of 10!

    This sushi was soo good . Pros : the location was nice , the service was good very attentive. The food was amazing the sushi was so fresh and delicious. It literally was properly made and beautifully plated. I can tell the chef ‍ took their time making and preparing our dishes . Cons : none * I wish they had hot sake lol* Price : very affordable . For 2 people our bill was only $55 and we got a lot of food ! Very good

    This is hands down my favorite sushi in the area. The rolls are big, the sushi is always fresh and the prices are great. The ambiance is casual. The service is good, the staff is always very friendly and does not rush you.

    Six Flags Roll

    We happened to stumble upon this place in Ridgewood for dinner, and really enjoyed it! All we knew is we really wanted sushi. It has a really nice interior with lighting behind this stone/brick-type wall that was cool to see. The service was very attentive--I remember us being shocked how we finished dinner so quickly. It was also very reasonably priced for sushi! I got the Six Flags Special Roll and it was soooo good! Well worth the price! Overall, I highly recommend Masago!

    Another gem we've found living in the burbs. We love going out for some AYCE sushi but after discovering Masago, we enjoy just ordering a platter to go. While it's a 20 min drive for us, we find that it's nice to order while heading out and by the time we get there it's ready to go. Service is always excellent smooth ordering and never an issues. Masago is on the smaller side but a very cute place. Decent amount of tables to eat in. When we first started ordering from them it would be 50% off if you paid with cash and now you can pay either way and it's the same price which is nice because we don't always carry cash. Solid recommendation for anyone in the area that's in the mood for sushi!

    Naruto roll and spicy tuna avocado roll

    I don't know why this place doesn't have more good reviews! First of all, Masago is extremely reasonably priced. We came here for Father's Day dinner with six people and were shocked at how low our bill was. The place is BYOB and their menu is very large, with a ton of original signature rolls. I started with the sushi special appetizer which was absolutely delicious. They were also able to modify the Naruto Roll for me to replace the cucumber with sushi rice. All of us were very happy with the dinner and accommodating staff! Absolutely would come back.

    Really great local sushi spot! The fish was so fresh and they have a great variety of roll options. I love that they didn't use too much rice, like many restaurants do. Service was very good and waiters were super pleasant! Would come back when in the area again.

    Exterior...don't let it fool you

    Sushi lovers heaven! IYKYK. This not so secret spot dishes out the freshest cut ups and inventive sushi combinations and prime sashimi at HALF THE PRICE! You heard me! NO CAP! Be it dinner for two or a larger party, this is the place to go that won't break the bank. As for quality and presentation: top scores all around! Service is super friendly, courteous and fast. And guess what? It's BYOB! #winning However, it's first come first serve and really fills up on the weekends, so plan accordingly. Decor is no great shakes but not what you are here for. So sit back and enjoy the food of the gods served at Masago. You will certainly return time and again! Guaranteed!

    In terms of cheap sushi for pickup, this is your go-to. Located in the heart of Ridgewood, this sushi place rewards you with a 50% off option if you show up with cash! Ordered 3 rolls and payed only about $10! That's cheaper than even lunch special prices! The only thing I would be aware of at this location is the awful customer service. If you can grin and look past the negative interaction with the cashier/ person in charge, you can treat yourself to some pretty tasty, cheap sushi which is hard to find in the Ridgewood area. If you are planning on dining in and can't stand the wait staff giving you an attitude and not really caring too much about your business, this location is not the spot for you. Highly recommend just picking up/ taking out.

    THE GOOD ----------------…read more+ Solid sushi, nothing spectacular, but hits the spot. ++++ Sushi Regular fish was relatively fresh on the sushi pieces, 8 in total. It also came with a choice of a regular roll. ++++ Spicy Maki Combo, which consisted of any 3 spicy rolls, did not taste or look like spicy rolls. They just looked like regular rolls, but they were still decent. There were only 4 spicy rolls to choose from though, of which I chose the Spicy Tuna, Spicy Salmon and Spicy Yellowtail. ++++ Chicken Udon was surprisingly VERY good. Even though it was just a simple chicken udon, the chicken was quite flavorful and tender. Broth was your typical miso broth/soup. THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - Waiters can be a little bit more enthusiastic, but food arrived pretty quick. MIXED THOUGHTS --------------------------- = Nada. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Extremely busy on a Friday evening at 5:30 PM so make reservations!

On a Friday night, the place initially seemed quiet but in a matter of minutes filled up with diners (Don't judge just based on when you happen to go.)

Recommended for anyone looking for a quality sushi spot.

    This is my new favorite sushi spot. The food is immaculate! I have yet to have a dish I didn't…read morelike. The only time I was like "meh" was when I had the matcha latte (3/5). Speaking of the food, let's get into it. Mango Avocado Roll: Refreshing and Delicious. This was a great appetizer to my poke bowl. Oasis Poke Bowl: This was deliciously refreshing as well, however it doesn't come with any sauce. I asked for a side of teriyaki which made everything better; elevated the entire bowl. Surf N Turf: I will order this moving forward as my go-to roll. The beef was cooked to perfection and paired perfectly with the salmon. This roll itself filled me up, I thought I was going to order something else but I was done after that. Salmon and Shrimp Teriyaki: My partner gets this each time and I am always so excited to throw my fork into his plate. The teriyaki sauce here is so tasty, I want to put it on everything! The salmon and shrimp are also cooked super well, no chewiness here. Great amount of crisp on the salmon, the way it slides onto the fork is beautiful to watch. Vegetable Gyoza: The star of the show!! Best appetizer they have truly. I was so sad when there was no more. But thankful to have been able to experience such a great starter. Sweet Potato Roll: (Not pictured) The roll was ok, I liked it but felt like it was missing something. Maybe I would have liked it if it was Korean sweet potatoes. I won't order again because the menu is so extensive I can't limit myself to something I thought was ok. (4/5) Overall, Shokudo is a fantastic place to eat. It's truly an experience. The music is amazing and not overbearing, the ambiance is beautiful and there's multiple conversation pieces. What I love about looking at the items in the restaurant is how they go from traditional to contemporary. The servers were the sweetest, they all were extremely hospitable. All I can say is, I'll be back and if you go... you may see me there.
