“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!“

“Best Sushi around!!!A must try! Everything fresh and full of flavor, loved it!“

“Best sushi in Clear Lake. Great staff. Worlds best bento box!“

“This was our first visit, and the food was delicious. They were fast friendly, and we will definitely be back.“

“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!“

“delicious food and entertaining!“

“Amazing food every time we have been here! The Cowboy Roll and the Dinosaur Roll are delicious - plus the hamachi sashimi! ❤️ Highly recommend!“

“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!!“

“I really enjoyed my visit to this restaurant. It’s nothing greater than spending your hard earned money and the experience is so satisfying. The food was so fresh, seasoned and flavorful. We ordered the hibachi chicken, beef, and shrimp. A little tip for any first timers, all the beef offerings were delicious and tender, you don’t even need to splurge on the higher grades. The grill chef was excellent and we really appreciate his showmanship. My only drawback was the cocktail offerings and the service was a bit slow.“

“Delicious food, great service.“

“Great price for great food“

“I just love this place. We don't live over in the area, so when we are in town, we go here. The crab salad is just awesome. Hibachi is always delicious. From the show to the meal it is just great! Sushi is delicious. I never understand why lunch isn't packed! Very good pricing for lunch. I like quiet but I just don't know why they aren't busy at lunch. People don't know what they are missing!“

“Great food and atmosphere!“

“This place is amazing , The food tastes so good and the service is excellent .“

“The spicy chirashi is to die for! So many fish options in bowl with a great, rich, but not too spicy sauce! And the rice....I don't even know what to say except that each grain was consistently cooked yet individually recognized! The rolls were stuffed full but put together well enough that they didn't fall apart. We drank Kirin and the beer was so cold and poured into a cold mug for another level delicious! If you are looking for delicious sushi 🍣 this is the place. There is no other like it from here to Austin!“

“Best sushi in town by far“

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

“Best sushi!!!! Friendly staff and the presentation is awesome. Can’t go wrong with the green apple sake.“

“The sushi was really good as was the fried rice. My girlfriend brought it home as take out, so I haven’t been inside. I’ve been to places like Uchi, which is good sushi but requires you to drive into town, possibly make reservations, and deal with traffic and everything that comes with that. This was very good for the price, location, and quick if you want something last minute on the way home and you don’t want fast food. Highly recommend it and will definitely be back.“

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