A repeat visit to Masa. We sat at the chef's counter and I had a wonderful experience. The fish is extremely fresh — you can tell from the quality of the uni and each nigiri. Everything is served timely so the meal doesn't drag out. Great service and ambiance. It continues to be a place where you cannot use your cell phone or take pictures, but that just makes you enjoy the moment even more.
Good? Exceptional. Food, service, atmosphere, 10/10. Enjoyed my time here, 2nd time in New York, everyone was so friendly and i will definitely be back!
I’m a regular here and have never written a review before. Today felt like the right time. Beyond the food and service, this is simply a place that lifts the spirit and keeps me coming back.

Bar Masa is a renowned restaurant that offers an exquisite culinary experience. The menu features a variety of small dishes, including Peking Duck Foie Gras Tacos, tempura shrimp, yellowtail scallion, and grilled maitake mushroom with truffle. The sushi is highly praised as exceptional, with dishes like the masa toro toro roll standing out. Guests have noted that the experience is enhanced by expertly crafted sushi and excellent sake pairing. The service is attentive and friendly, with staff going above and beyond to make guests feel welcome, often remembering their preferences even after months. The restaurant provides a memorable celebration atmosphere, making it worth the high prices. While desserts are considered only "OK," the birthday dessert, such as the green tea mille-crepe, has received special mentions. Overall, the quality of food and experience remains excellent, especially for those seeking top-tier sushi in NYC.
