The place rocks, first off, all you can eat sushi will always be a hit in my eyes, especially when there's plenty of variety like Sushi Masa offers. And don't sleep on the teriyaki grilled meat/veggies. The service is great! Came by every so often to top off waters and get a new order in. Catalina was our server and did a fantastic job! The decor was lovely, music was at the perfect volume. Will definitely be coming back read more

My first time at this restaurant & if I lived closer I would definitely be making this a regular go to place. When I first arrived the parking lot was packed, & I was worried there may be a bit of a wait, especially since this was a spur of the moment stop so I didn't have a reservation. I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to get a seat immediately upon entering. My server was very friendly & went over the menu a bit with me since it was my first time here, & I decided on doing the AYCE dinner that way I could try a bit of everything. I got some hot green tea as well as a bottle of Peach Soju. I got a whole pot for the tea, & the soju was served in a small ice bucket, which I thought was cool because I love to keep mine chilled! I started off with a couple appetizers & some sashimi, the presentation was amazing & the freshness of the seafood delicious! My favorite was definitely the Blue Fin tuna, & apparently I wasn't the only fan because they had run out of almost all of it which was a little sad but just means I'll have to come again to try some more lol. The sushi rolls were fantastic & rolled perfectly, my eyes were definitely bigger than my stomach because I wanted to order 1 of every roll but after my fourth roll I could feel myself getting full & sadly had to stop there. I did order some fried oreos for dessert which just hit different when they are done in tempura batter, I love it! The only thing food wise that I could critique is definitely the miso soup, while it looks really good, it was bland & just tasted like warm water & tofu. The restaurant itself is styled really well, I remember when this location used to be a Red Lobster but looking at it now there's no way you could tell. Even though the booths are pretty close together they were surprisingly quite, I could barely hear anyone that was around me, it felt like I was in a coffee shop instead of an actual restaurant. read more

I am picky about my sushi and sashimi, but we stumbled upon this place a few months ago and we have been very pleased with the quality of the fish. The all you can eat menu is great! A bit limited as far as the sushi goes but still lots to choose from. My only complaint is that they will make no substitutions or allow you to change the rolls in any way. You have to pay full price for the roll if that's what you want. If it was busy, I understand, but this is a rule no matter when you come. The food is fresh and flavorful. The building is beautiful. It used to be a red lobster from what I understand but they have remodeled and it is very oriental boho! Beautiful! The outdoor seating is also a vibe. We've always had very friendly staff and the food comes out so fast!! read more

Great food, and wonderful service! Specifically, we'd like to shout out Tate, Sebastian, and Jay for incredible service - they each went above and beyond! Thanks so much for everything! read more

A bunch of my kid and friend went there for the All inclusive and had a good time. The server failed to tell my child that 18% gratuity was already included. He selected 20% tip on top of it. read more

My family and I always go to Sushi Masa for lunch and sometimes dinner. We usually get the AYCE and they offer such a great variety even for the picky eaters (especially their dinner menu). The sashimi tastes fresh and the flavors for the rolls and appetizers are unique and tasty. They're usually pretty fast about bringing out the food and come by to check in often. I especially love the variety of the menu; they have lots of hand rolls, sashimi, sushi, specialty rolls, grill items (noodles and tempura), and soups/salads. Definitely a great AYCE spot that beats out a lot of the other sushi AYCE places in Tampa. read more

Sushi Masa - AYCE Dinner - Sushi Bars Near Me - Tampa, Florida

EXCELLENT ayce sushi. I feel like most ayce sushi spots are not the greatest quality, and as a real sushi lover (no California rolls or cream cheese around here), I actually love this place. The small plates/apps and desserts were also great. The miso cod was a hit at our table. Definitely worth the price. I would go here all the time if it wasn't so far Service was also amazing! Our waitress was so funny and kind. read more

Was so excited to try this place out ! The interior was super cute, very nice feel for a sushi spot. I was highly impressed with the quality of the fish here for all you can eat. Most out here suck, but this one was good. I started off with a lychee martini and got to say, it was the best one I've had yet. My favorite roll was the Hokkaido roll and was the reason I came here. It was great! My bf had the volcano roll and that was a great one too. I also ordered a spicy salmon roll, some salon sushi, ikura, scallop sushi, sweet shrimp, escolar and torched salmon. Omg I was impressed with the seared salmon, it was like butter. The scallop sushi could have been better tho, I wasn't sure if I receive the wrong thing tho because it didn't look like it normally does. The spicy salmon roll was so good! There apps on the other hand, were just ok. I had the Asian taco and tuna kurraka and I did expect more of a better flavor with those. The spicy edamame was not great to us either. The miso soup was ok, but a little watered down. I did however love the age tofu and muscles. For desert I got the green tea ice cream, something that can be hard to find out here from the places I've gone to. As long as the menu stays the same and the quality doesn't change, we will be coming back! read more

Bit on the pricier side of endless sushi but the service was super fast and friendly and the options were delicious1 The shaggy dog sounded good but we didn't enjoy that one as much as we thought we would. Dragon roll and the hand rolls I would highly recommend! Fried Oreos are always a good sweet treat too! read more

About 3.5 stars for AYCE sushi in Tampa Bay Area. I am glad there is AYCE sushi near me. But the standard is just middle of the pack. One thing for sure they make it right here is the wait for sushi is very short after order. This sushi place is not cheap for the price. Yes they do have everything but very normal in the menu. Many imitation crab meat sushi roll. Good vegetarian selection. We like the salmon skin salad, dragonfly roll and big eye tuna nigiri. I also like the shrimp teriyaki a la cart. That very much I can recommend for the whole menu. Overall service is excellent. Food needs to be more creative. That includes the flavor. read more

This new location is great! The food is really good, and we went for the endless experience, it's great your whole table doesn't have to do it! The hibachi there tastes so good! The experience inside is such a great vibe and clean! The service is alright, I wish our server was quicker to ensuring we had everything we wanted for the endless experience, so it was frustrating at times with her. Otherwise we have already been back for the food! read more

Ordered all the sashimis available (see pics). The scallop was not fresh but the other seafood was not bad. It's interesting that the menu says sashimi or sushi but I think it's mid-labeled and should say "sashimi or nigiri." The torched salmon nigiri was my favorite. Eel was also pretty good. The cold tastings were pretty tasty, esp the tuna kurakka. The teriyaki steak was too dry. I don't recommend the Hokkaido roll but I didn't try the other rolls since we mostly wanted to try the sashimi. The edamame didn't blow my mind and I'm not sure I would recommend ordering this. Yakisoba is supposed to be dry but it's was too saucy. I wish they told us about the weekly special menu. We find out after we paid that it was part of the buffet (we saw the table next to use order items from that menu.) We tried all the desserts because they seemed interesting. Turns out I don't really like fried desserts. The ice cream didn't have the authentic matcha or red bean flavor, was too sweet. On the weekends, they charge dinner prices for lunchtime. The table wasn't clean when the servers seated us. (There was a piece of hair underneath the soy sauce bottle.) Service was fast and place was family-friendly and date-friendly. read more

Absolutely amazing service by the bartender who also made the fantastic cocktails during our visit. The restaurant had no wait when we went. We were immediately sat and greeted by a friendly host. The food was phenomenal and definitely worth the price for the all you can eat. Prepared to feel super full and satisfied. I love this concept because you can go with a group of friends and try everything that your heart desires and get repeats of your favorites. Don't let the high volume of food fool you though, this does NOT mean they compromise the quality of their food- it's amazing!! 10/10 recommend you go with a group of friends or even on a fun date night. read more

I was really excited to try this restaurant since it came recommended! I ordered the miso soup, pineapple chicken fried rice, and fried Oreos. Unfortunately, the food was pretty mid and the fried rice had very little chicken in it, especially for an entrée. The service wasn't great either; things felt a bit disorganized and we had to ask for items multiple times. On the positive side, the inside was spacious and really nice read more

We tried all you can eat lunch. It was not bad. Among all the dishes we ordered, I like avocado salad, salmon skin salad, sushi, some signature rolls, pepper tuna, salmon carpaccio and the shrimp teriyaki. The red bean ice cream was also very good. It concluded this satisfactory lunch. The ambience and service were great. They also have lunch special menu. If you don't feel like eating or spending too much. The presentation of the dishes was very pretty. The raw fish meat quality was quite good - fresh and firm. It locates very close to my house. That's a plus. read more

The ambiance was inviting with a Asian twist. The wait wasn't too long, however I didn't understand why there was a wait since they had multiple empty tables. I assumed they were unstaffed. Food took longer than expected to come out but it was worth the wait. Everything was fresh and delicious, one of the best AYCE sushi places in my area. read more

This place is still a new spot compared to other sushi locations and was extremely satisfied with the experience. Big space with many seating options and were seated right away even in busiest times. Menu had many varieties and tried some items that weren't at other locations, which were all fantastic. Scallops and sweet shrimps were my favorite but all the sashimis were top notch quality. I am hoping that they keep this quality and does not downgrade like other places after few months/years. However, service was slow and forgot couple of items that were ordered and never brought them. Other than that, highly recommend read more

My first time experiencing this new establishment was excellent. Food was delicious and very fresh. The service was exceptional from Brandon very accurate in the order.

Tried out this new sushi place on a friday night. The place was busy but not super packed. There was a wait list, for about 15' wait but no wait for the bar. They do not take reservation when we called in advance tho. We did not do the buffet option but the sushi for two. Food came pretty quickly and looked amazing. Fish was fresh and good quality. However, the rice was so undercooked which made me unable to enjoy anything I ate that involves rice. It def downgraded my experience significantly. I dont think I will be back. read more

When we arrived i was to 10 minutes for a table. It took 3. We were seated with 1 menu... the food was Great! The sushi taco was fabulous, the textures and flavors 10/10. The salmon karaka. Not my fav. Very earthy taste. The coconut roll was a little too coconut. Steak teriyaki was overcooked. The pepper tuna 10/10 So many options definitely worth the hype. If you haven't been please go Our server, Lisa, was fantastic. read more

Went in for lunch as soon as they opened at 11. Service was great. Food came out quickly. Sushi quality was on par with sushi Yama. Pretty good!! They don't give huge amounts of rice either with each sushi. Rice flavor was a little off though, it had a weird taste. One thing is they never gave us wasabi/ginger... had to wait a while for that. They also had steamed veggies no oil/butter which is hard to find in these ayce places (for ppl who are health conscious!). The gyoza we ordered as appetizer came out last...after we ate all the sushi. My toddler loved the miso soup, rice, and soba noodles! Menu is typical of ayce places, not too many things, simple. Oh and one unique thing about this place is not everyone has to order from the ayce menu. You can choose to do the a la carte menu but can't share with the person doing ayce. Idk how they would keep track of that but it seems they have cameras all around the restaurant! read more

Erika is definitely an asset to Sushi Masa because her enthusiasm and knowledge was on point and I'm SO GLAD I went! I ordered the Volcano sushi for my wife and the Crazy Roll for myself and they both were TO DIE FOR!!!!! I also ordered a Tuna Roll and Salmon Roll from their lunch menu!!! I am telling you that the fish was so fresh that it was unbelievable! The atmosphere in the dining area is do inviting and comfortable! Thank you Trinity for your great recommendations to suit my requests when it came to choosing from the menus! Even though I live about 40 minutes away from this location, it is my plan to make this our go to spot for sushi!

First time being at this sushi masa location and man, it's probably the best sushi places I've been to over the coast. Everything was so fresh, especially enjoyed their tuna. The service was top tier as well, never had to wait, and was constantly checked on asking if we're doing good. Honorable mention to Dalaney! I also really like how the setup of the place is, with the hanging lights and Japanese inspired decor. Thank you for allowing us to be guests here :) it was amazing! read more

Food: Really really good! The menu can be a bit overwhelming at first, but I overheard other servers explaining dishes to their guests. Service/Vibe: A bit off. Our party of 3 was seated immediately next to a couple, despite there being several other options. It felt so awkward, we apologized to them upon being seated! The servers around us were also..... "timid" or "stiff" would be the only words that come to mind. They've only recently opened, though, so definitely worth another shot soon. read more

First time visit was great. Love the open space and great lighting. One person in our group did the AYCE option. She worked her way thru most of the selected menu and was happy with her choices. I went with traditional rolls. Spicy Tuna and Salmon Avocado. 8 pieces for $6.50 each. My only critique is that they could have had just a lil more rice, but the fish was fresh. House hot sake paired perfectly with my meal. Our server, Sebastian, was stellar! He would check on us every time he passed by and made sure everyone at our party of 5 was happy. Next time we come back we will ask to be seated in his section. Kanpai! read more

It was good more than I expected. They have aburi salmon that I really like and sushi-Yama doesn't have. Eel and squid were so good and melt in your mouth. I with they have saba in menu which Sushi-Yama has it. Also more raw special roll selection would be nice. They have more cooked one. And they only have less sodium soy sauce. They must have regular soy sauce!! I need to take it with me next time I go here. Dessert selection is better than sushi-Yama. Sesame ball, fried Oreo were so good with ice cream. read more
