Bar Masa

I can't rave enough about this place!
We came for lunch to celebrate our 20 year anniversary and were blown away! The food of course was the best sushi I have ever eaten, but what was even better was our experience. Chef Masa's team led by our man Geno was ridiculously amazing. They took care of us like family and it really felt like a celebration. Thank you for making it such a memorable experience! By the way, we didn't forget about the cigars!

Great food as always. Particularly enjoyed the sushi, soba, steak and masa toro toro roll. Good service. a few little things were missed but no big deal. I would say the food is expensive but the quality is excellent and overall experience very good.

Bar Masa delivered an outstanding lunch. The Spicy Tuna Carpaccio was fresh and delicately spiced. The Peking Duck Foie Gras Tacos were a rich, inventive delight. Finally, the Sushi à la carte showcased perfect craftsmanship and premium ingredients. A must-visit for top-tier sushi in NYC.

This place is very so-so. We do not understand the hype. We ordered from the regular menu and had a sampling across the various categories. Every dish was mediocre at best - lacking a flavour, salt, weird texture etc. we expected to be wowed and were left disappointed. Bad night celebrating my hubby’s birthday. Our server chipped my husband’s glass of beer and replaced it with a quarter of a pour from a new bottle. Like just have class and leave us the full bottle. At the end of the meal the servers assumed we were done and said “no more food right?”. Meanwhile we still were unsatisfied. The atmosphere was very loud, hard to talk. I can’t recommend anything from the menu. And it was expensive. Better off going to a sushi resto on the upper east side.

I love maki with Uni and scallop. It’s incredible fresh and unique. It’s not cheap- $54 ,but it’s worth it. Masa also shocked me was the service, one of the best in town.

When we visit NY we love to dine at Bar Masa. Half of the year we live in Tokyo and Bar Masa makes us feel like home. First thing to say - it's expensive. You can easily spend $250pp ... or even more. The atmosphere is very relaxing. Casual. Modestly quiet. No need to dress fancy. Last evening I wore a golf shirt and sweater and that fit perfectly well. My suggestion is order a few plates as a time to share. Keep a menu at your table and order bit by bit until you are full. While you are there make a close inspection of the many excellent whiskies behind the bar. They make for an excellent post-dining sip. If you're into wine you'll also be very happy with their extensive cellar. Highly recommended

We came back here because our first experience was stellar and continues to be. Great omakase lunch with fabulous cocktails with great service!This is a family favorite and we can't wait to come back.

Amazing experience

Ridiculously priced. Atmosphere cold and uncomfortable. Sushi good but too much of the same thing. Drinks not included. Some wine and a few non alcoholic drinks. Additional $900. Crazy.

This review is for Masa NYC! I am not sure why bar masa shows up when I actually google it.

It's a very upscale place offering equally upscale services. Cell phone usage inside is not permitted. This omakase spot is stunning, with a remarkable dining experience. The meal itself was substantial, taking us two hours to savor. At the sushi bar, we had our own chef who meticulously prepared and explained each course of the omakase. The venue offers a great selection of drinks as well. The food, especially the otoro and caviar, was exceptional and memorable. Dress code is pretty casual considering it being one of the most expensive restaurants. I highly recommend this place not only for its dining experience but also for its food quality and ambiance.

Decent food, convenient to get here if you're in the neighborhood shopping or meeting friends after work. Not as pricey as the Kappo Masa but the food is decent and can meet interesting characters at the bar sometimes.
