An Unforgettable Omakase Experience!…read more We celebrated the 4th of July with an incredible omakase dinner at Masaki, and it exceeded every expectation. Every course was beautifully presented, impeccably fresh, and perfectly balanced. From the delicate Red Sea Bream and buttery Scallop to the luxurious Toro with Caviar, Sweet Shrimp with Uni, and the unforgettable Eel with Foie Gras, each bite was a masterpiece. What truly elevated the evening was Michael, our sushi chef. He was warm, engaging, and exceptionally knowledgeable. He took the time to explain every course, the origin of the fish, the flavors, and the best way to enjoy each piece. His passion for his craft was evident, and his attention to detail made the entire experience feel personal and memorable. Dining at the sushi bar gave us a front-row seat to watch the artistry behind every piece. The quality of the ingredients, the precision of the preparation, and the genuine hospitality made this one of the finest omakase experiences we've ever had. Thank you, Michael, and the entire Masaki team, for making our holiday celebration so special. We can't wait to return for another unforgettable evening!

There are lots of servers so you never feel like you're waiting. The food is delicious and there's a mix of platters and smaller plates so you can try a bit of everything. The fish is so fresh. The tempura got mixed reviews from our party. Some of us loved the thick breading and others weren't a fan. The tempura sauce is amazing. There is an omakase option, which we haven't tried but would like to one day.

Excellent food and service. Good pricing with consistent quality. Friendly attentive staff.read more

This has been my long time favorite sushi place…read more Ordered 2 speciality rolls with eel and they were soaking in watered-down sauce. This caused the sushi to taste soggy and wet. The sushi just fell apart when you pick it up. I'm guessing they were cutting back in the eel sauce, but really disappointed this time. We got free sweet potato roll for spending more than $40, which was appreciated. The rice was also very wet though. The spicy trio roll was still good. No issues there. Will probably revisit in a view months, but I'm hoping this was a one-off experience.

The place was clean, but the seating area was small, with only about 5 tables.

We came on a Sunday night and it was pretty empty so it was easy to get a table. We got the toro wasabi which I think is a nice dish that highlight the richness of toro, and it is a generous portion of this premium cut for the price. The volcano roll is an interesting no rice roll that is very rich in flavors with the eel. The sushi set is the one that actually amazed me the most - at $26 the quality was way above what I expected, very fresh fish and also prepared very well. The torched sushi were made to perfection. The only thing that felt a bit off is the avocado which is a bit stale and mushy but this is hardly something I can blame a sushi place. We also got the toro with caviar and uni sushi, which are always great for what they are, and at a price of $10 they are very much worthwhile. I might have been in Manhattan for too long so I know how expensive sushi can be, but I was pleasantly surprised by what I get at this place and would definitely recommend if you are around the area!

We had a reservation and were seated right away. The service was good, and the seating was comfortable. The restaurant filled up while we were eating, which shows how popular it is. I tried their sushi for the first time and ordered the keizen don bowl. The raw fish was extremely fresh, the assortment was excellent, and the special tea-flavored seasoned rice added a unique touch. The portion was generous, and I left satisfied. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and will be coming back.

I thought the ramen was just mediocre and the chashu was very hard to chew. The noodles was pretty good. There was a good amount of ikura, king crab, and avocado included. I originally wanted the Sashimi Set but they didn't have uni that day. They would have just subbed it with something else so I didn't think it was worth the $55. I also tried the Tochucha Yuzu Lemonade which was good but not amazing. I didn't know what all the hype was over tochucha because it wasn't very memorable for me.

The rice--dry, no flavor, no hint of that classic vinegar taste. That alone ruined most of the sushi. My sister's Tom Yum soup was a miss, but the pork gyoza was a hit. Chef's choice sushi was just okay, and the "free" California roll? They could've kept it. Nori soup and shumai were good, but the eel and tuna rolls had no flavor and didn't come how I requested. Overall... disappointing. Definitely not the same quality as before. I won't be back--next time I'm trying Thai Social next door. Customer service was great.

But this place completely knocked it out of the park. It far exceeded everything we anticipated. We were seated in a private booth, which made the experience feel even more authentic and intimate. Every dish that came out was absolutely delicious, thoughtfully prepared, and beautifully presented. They even provided a bell to press for service, and each time, the server appeared almost instantly with a warm smile. It's clear the owner and management truly know how to create and run a successful business--from the attention to detail to the seamless service and overall experience. For a moment, it truly felt like we had been transported back to Japan. An unforgettable dining experience.

It was just a little too doughy for me and needed more cabbage, definitely will pass on it next time. Now, to the part I forgot to take a picture of, the ramen. My sister got a miso ramen which was nice and sweet and had a little bit of a thicker broth. I got the tantanmen ramen which I really enjoyed. It was very nicely spicy which was a little hard to eat because slurping up the noodles meant the broth getting to the back of my throat. But once I figured out how to eat it, I throughly enjoyed it. The texture of the noodles were perfect and all the food was gone before we knew it! The service was also good.

My sushi was wrong at first--just avocado rolls--so I had to send it back. Even when corrected, the avocado was huge and overshadowed the eel. My request for smaller avocado pieces was ignored, and the server was defensive. I've been coming sporadically for years, but after this, I won't be back. If I wasn't so hungry, I would've went to H Mart like I wanted to do. I was going to do buy the ingredients and make it myself.
