“Been here a couple of times and let me tell you guys that I have never been let down. The food is always amazing! The fish and other ingredients are very high quality and always taste so fresh. The owner, Chef Ruben, is highly skilled at what he does and offers the best customer service ever! Every time I come, I always feel welcomed as a long time friend. If you're ever in the area or need a quick pick-up, I would highly recommend this place. Being completely honest, I think I prefer this spot over an actually restaurant, it's so yummy!“

“Great food and atmosphere!“

“I had a friend visiting from out of town, and I wanted to find a nice elevated dining place in Clear Lake. Luckily, I found Masa! To summarize my review before it begins, Masa is now my destination if I am craving sushi and Japanese food. The atmosphere was elegant, which makes it stand out from other surrounding sushi restaurants. We started off with cold sake and Ahi Poké Nachos, which were crispy and delicious. My friend and I split Sushi Combo C, which features 20 pieces of assorted sushi with California and Spicy Tuna rolls. The sushi was very fresh and skillfully made. The Tamago was freshly made with the traditional chopstick method. This was the best sushi I have had since I dined at Nobu in Las Vegas. Our companions had the chicken katsu Bento Boxes because they wanted an assortment of things to try. The tempura battered shrimp and vegetables were lightly crunchy and delicate. After dinner, the four of us had a round of Ninja Drop martinis, which were tangy and sweet. The owner, Michael Zhou (pronounced "zjoe"), came over to say hi. He encouraged us to try one of his favorite items, the Ahi Tuna Tartare, which was spectacular. To finish, we had a couple of bottles of hot sake alongside some yummy mochi ice cream. Our experience was amazing. Our server, Jordan, took great care of us, and we all had a great time. I was looking for an elevated experience, and I got exactly what I was looking for and more. I can't wait to eat here again and try other things on the amazing menu!“

“Very good Ramen , waitress was great. Small but very nice restaurant, Dumplings were excellent as well!“

“It is all about their teriyaki chicken here. Sarku is a chain food court restaurant, but they're not very common. If you have never had a free extra helping of that sauce on top of your chicken and rice, you have not yet lived. If you don't order chicken, rice, and veggies, then you needlessly hold up the line. Stick to the good stuff.“

“Really awesome!! Gonna come back soon!!“

“Incredible food. Incredible service. Incredible atmosphere. From the chefs, to the servers, to the hostesses, absolutely the best. Our grandchildren come from Beaumont just to eat here. The owner even ordered ingredients for a specialized drink I like. We eat here several times a month we love it so much.“

“Great price for great food“

“Went here for my oldest daughters birthday. As soon as we walked twords the hibachi my youngest with special needs panicked at the sounds and I’m assuming remembered the fire from last time. I had to sit off to the side where Vivian was so kind to me bringing me a menu so I could still pick out my food. My daughter was so worked up she was talking very loud and everyone was so kind to her, talking to her and giving her high fives! I asked for ice cream to try and calm her down and get her to sit down with our family and they were so quick to get it and bring it out. I realized she wasn’t going to go for it to which the staff seated me and my daughter off to the side where we could still eat. All of the waitress kept coming by checking on us and chatting with my daughter. As a special needs mom I worry about this kind of thing happening and how people would react. It completely warmed my heart to have the whole staff of the restaurant be so kind and accommodating!“

“Best sushi in town by far“

“Great dining experience! Staff very helpful and informative, delicious food!“

“Great tasting, reasonably priced, great presentation... A+ in my book.“

“This place was a staple for me back in Pearland, but glad its found a home in Pasadena. The food is just as great as the first time I tried it. It's good prices for reasonable portions. Definitely a get away place for date night or just meeting friends. Try the Royal Alex roll. Service is exceptional.“

“The food presentation was nice and it was very good. The service left a lot to be desired, our waitress only came to the table once and that was to give the check. The lunch special was a good deal. The prices were decent, but $4 for a bottle or can of soda was a bit high.“

“Delicious, and worth it for the price. Excellent service. Would recommend“
