Mai Special Salmon Maki
Mark H.

When visiting the Boston area, we have found that sushi restaurants outside Boston pale in comparison to the restaurants in the city. We visited Mai place a few weeks ago and it did not change our opinion. Although the sushi roll options were creative (we may come by again to try some of the other rolls), our party enjoyed the Chinese entrees over the sushi rolls. I played it safe with a Sushi Appetizer and the Mai Special Salmon Maki, and experimented with the Torch Salmon. All were appetizing and of decent quality. The venue itself was quaint and not busy, although we did find the orange hue of the lighting dark and a bit disorienting.

Lunch bento box. Chicken teriyaki. Less than $9. So GOOD!

Great service and great food. If I'm ever in Canton, I will be back for the food. I went there for the lunch and it was packed. The portion is really good. Got me full. I got the bento box and when the bill came for two lunch orders was not even $20. The cucumbers that came with the salad is the best I had. I love how thinly sliced it is. I got the chicken teriyaki bento box and it really is so ^*~' good! Even the shrimp lobster sauce is so tasty. Judging from a Chinese patron. Will be back. Highly recommended. Even the washrooms are clean.

Love the food and the service. Great sushi and drinks. Great location also have a ton of parking.

So the conversation between my friend and I went down like this: Friend: "I'm having my birthday dinner at Mai Place". Me: "Oh, okay, at your house?" Friend: "Noooo it's an actual place in Canton!" Me: "oooooooooooooooh" Despite this little confusion, there were a group of about 7-8 of us gathered for a friend's 21st birthday. I decided to go family style with the friend to be able to try a little bit of everything, and see what Mai Place has to offer. We ended up ordering Singapore Noodles, Mango Chicken and Shrimp, and a Spider Maki. It all turned out to be just okay. The mango chicken and shrimp was probably the best out of what we ordered. Everyone else seemed to enjoy what they ordered, which is a plus. The Midori Sours (Drink of choice!) were yummy and never seems to do me wrong. And, my friend seemed to enjoy her birthday, which made it all even better. Would I come back? Sure, why not!

This restaurant is located in an unassuming place, in a small strip mall along route 138. Upon walking in we were greeted by a very friendly hostess. Our server was one of the most entertaining and friendly servers we have ever encountered! He joked around with us, was patient, and told us that if we did not like something to let him know and he would take care of it. We started with some sushi: unagi (eel), maguro (tuna), and the sweet potato (idaho maki). All of the sushi was fresh and delicious and served very nicely. My wife stuck with the sushi, but I had to try an actual meal! So, I went with the boneless duck with ginger and scallions. I am not claiming to be a duck expert, but I will say that this was one of the greatest duck dishes I have ever experienced. The duck was tender, the skin was crispy, and the sauce was delicious. Everything about this dish was very high quality. While we ate, we actually perused the take-out menu to figure out what we'd like to order the next time we visit (yes, there will be a next time)! The only reason I am giving this restaurant 4 stars instead of 5 is because of their dessert which is clearly not homemade. Obviously Chinese/Japanese restaurants are not know for their desserts, but we decided to try one anyway for fun. We had a mango/raspberry sorbet which was served with whipped cream and chocolate syrup. Clearly, everything on their dessert menu is packaged food. At the conclusion of our meal, our fun server came by with hand wipes and he even opened the packages for us! Aside from the dessert experience, this restaurant is fantastic. The service and quality are some of the best we've seen, and we look forward to many future visits!

Was last visit just a bad day? This time around, the sushi was fresh. I had Ika with tobiko topped with Quail egg. I also had this special roll with seafood salad shrimp wrapped with salmon then topped with seaweed salad. That was a very interesting taste. I also had their buffalo wings which I did not think was spicy at all. It was rather sweet. From this visit, I learned why their bar is small - they don't have a full liquor license! So I created a cocktail from what they had which tasted pretty darn good - Smirnoff Cranberry, Pama, Cranberry Juice and Pineapple Juice.

It was the fortune is our cookie when we got the bill. It seemed appropriate for our experience.

I came here on my sister-in-laws recommendation. She gets take out here for Christmas, so when my husband and I were in the area we decided to stop in for dine-in service. I really wasn't that impressed. I should start my saying that I am a "sushi newbie" (which isn't their fault of course). We ordered the chicken fingers first and they were greasy, flavorless, and there wasn't much chicken in them. Then we decided to split a sushi entree. We kept asking the waitress what the difference between maki (which is what we get on a regular basis) and tamaki which was what the entree we wanted had. She just kept saying " you get tamaki". There was a clear communication barrier so after 5 minutes of saying we jut wanted to know the difference, we figured we'd be adventurous and just give it a go. It didn't take long to come out which was nice; but when it did it was in a cone. That's fine (we knew there was a difference, we just wasn't sure what the difference was). She asked if we were all set, and we just asked how do we eat it. She brought out chopsticks but it wasn't cut so we weren't sure. She actually laughed at us and walked away. We eventually decided to use knives and cut it in pieces but I couldn't believe that she was laughing at us the whole time! It was a really bad experience! That being said the sushi was fresh and the spicy tuna was good. The yellowfin was gross. All I could taste was mayonnaise! Overall if I lived locally I may do sushi takeout here; but that's as far as I'd go.

Two special rolls, the one in the back was softshell crab, which was hot and fresh.

Good food, friendly service, and overall nice place. Unfortunately, one of our dishes (sesame…read morechicken for our two kids to share) was not prepared with the rest of our food because the kitchen staff "did not see the server's small writing." So, our kids ate our food, and after a very long wait, their dish finally came out. By that point we had already been there for about one hour. They gave us a free ice cream dessert to make up for it but the additional time we had to spend there wasn't really worth it. We were there for nearly 90 minutes because of this oversight. So, it's a good place, and I know people make mistakes, but it kind of put a damper on what would've been a great family dinner. Can't say if we will return in the future.

We were looking forward to relaxing, enjoying some good food and having a little sake. We've been to Masa several times before and our previous experiences have generally been very good. The food is consistently delicious and the hibachi chefs usually put on a wonderful and entertaining show. Unfortunately, the wait staff can sometimes be less than pleasant, although we were fortunate to have a great male waiter that evening and our chef was entertaining as well. Our waiter was doing his best, but he was busy attending to the other tables. At one point we had dirty soup and salad bowls sitting on our table and there was simply no room left for them. We tried to hand them to one of the female waitstaff members who was nearby, thinking it would be a simple and reasonable request. To our surprise, she flat out refused to take them and told us that we needed to wait for our waiter. Given that the restaurant was busy, this came across as unnecessarily unhelpful and added to our frustration with the service. Things were going very well until around 8:30 PM. We were seated in the back section with several other families and everyone seemed to be having a great time. Then a very large group of young adults arrived, apparently celebrating some type of event. They came in with oversized speakers and began playing very loud music, parading and dancing around the restaurant and generally taking over the atmosphere. What was especially disappointing was that the restaurant staff did not appear to do anything to address the situation. The noise and disruption became so excessive that it completely changed the experience for everyone seated in the back section. Families who had been enjoying their dinners began leaving, including my family. What should have been a relaxing Friday night dinner turned into an extremely loud and uncomfortable experience. I want to emphasize that we have enjoyed Masa Hibachi many times in the past. The food is good, the hibachi chefs are entertaining and when the atmosphere is under control, it can be a great place for a family dinner, etc. Unfortunately, the lack of intervention that night, combined with some of the service issues, really hurt the experience. If you're looking for a quiet or relaxing family dinner, I would strongly recommend avoiding Masa on Friday or Saturday nights, especially later in the evening. Based on our experience, it can turn into a madhouse and the restaurant should do a better job of making sure one large group doesn't ruin the experience for everyone else.

I would have preferred the apps first then dinner after but everything came out at once basically. It's nice and clean inside nothing fancy. We ordered pork strips, peeking ravioli, chicken fingers, orange beef, garlic lo mein, general gaus shrimp. The crab Rangoons were garlicky and delicious as always. The chicken fingers were a bit over cooked too crunchy for my liking. Usually they're light brown and lightly crispy. The pork strips were good. The garlic lo mein is usually spot on and comes with mushrooms, water chestnuts and pea pods. This time it came with green pepper which I don't like, so that was a bit of a disappointment. The green peppers usually come in the veggie lo mein. The orange beef had good flavor but the meat was tough, so that was unfortunate. My parents liked the beef and lo mein. The general gaus shrimp was tasty.

My sister and I have gone twice since they opened a few weeks ago. I am the kind of person that likes to eat raw fish over cooked fish and do not like sugar in my tea. Food&Drinks: the BYO poké bowls are my favorite. The fish is fresh enough that it doesn't smell fishy or oceany. The toppings are all delicious and fresh. Although, I wish it were a little bit more chilled when served. The sushi rice is a bit over cooked but still okay. Drinks are great! Haven't had a bad drink yet! My go to is the Iced Matcha and the A-Oolong tea w/ cheese foam. The strawberry matcha latte and drip coffee are also yummy! Service: staff is friendly, helpful, and accommodating. They are slightly slow but that's what happens at every new store opening. Bare with them for the first few months! Atmosphere: very clean, including bathrooms. Cute store decor. Wish the fan wasn't sitting in front of the "wanna poké?" sign...still haven't been able to get an aesthetic photo of that wall! Very inviting! Overall: I treat places that sell raw fish very seriously, knowing how bad food poisoning can be. I really like pokemoto and looseleaf tea's concept. I also believe that if you haven't had raw fish or real tea before, this would be the place to start!
