Masa has quickly become our go to sushi spot when we're all back in town. I can't speak highly enough of the quality of the sushi both dining in and taking out. The sheer amount and quality that you get for the price is unbelievable and I am thoroughly impressed every single time. The gyoza are great as well and any of the appetizers or rolls always hit home. The amount of sashimi for the price point is divine and each piece is fresher than the next. Service is always great and ambience very casual but elevated at the same time. Can't wait for my next meal at Masa. read more

Masa Sushi and Grill - Japanese Near Me - Allendale, New Jersey

We visited Masa Sushi and Grill on a Saturday evening, having made a reservation in advance for our party of 5. The interior was spacious, and actually had two connected dining rooms with plenty of seating. The ambiance was casual but pleasant. For drinks, it was BYOB, so my parents brought their own beer and wine, and Masa provided the glassware. For food, I started with the Salmon Tartar, which was fresh and very tasty. The portion size was large enough to share between a few people. I also tried some of my brother's T.Y.S. Sashimi, which we really liked - great cuts of fish. The Wasabi Octopus was a unique dish, but the wasabi flavor was a bit too strong for me. For my entree, I chose the Spring Scallops off the specials menu. While I'd never seen a roll like this before, I can't say I was obsessed. The scallops were tasty, but the spring roll inside of the sushi rice was a little strange. My family enjoyed the rest of their items, including the Crazy Roll (very large portion size), Nabeyaki Udon (one of our favorites), Spicy Salmon Roll, Negihama, Yellowtail Sashimi, and Eel Sushi. Service was fast and friendly! Overall solid for dinner - would return. read more

Ordered the sushi sets and several rolls. I mean it wasnt bad but wasn't great. I think the rice ratio to the rice vinegar was a bit too dry. read more

Masa Sushi stands out for its fresh fish and attentive service. Sushi rolls are beautifully presented and generously portioned.

A hidden gem in Bergen County, Masa Sushi offers an excellent combination of fresh, high-quality Japanese cuisine in a comfortable setting. The BYOB policy makes it perfect for both casual dinners and special occasions, offering great value without compromising on quality. read more

I dinned here last night and was dissatisfied with the food. The restaurant was very busy at 7:30pm when I arrived. My table had not been set and I waited for chopsticks and a napkin after my food arrived. The shrimp tempura appetizer was horrible, soggy coating and greasy. I ordered the sushi platter for one and the fish was not much to my liking, three pieces had skin on them (grayish color) and they gave you eel which is an acquired taste (not mine). Of the 8 pieces I left three. The salad that came with the dinner was iceberg lettuce, center pieces and not very enjoyable. I had been here in the past and the restaurant was good, last night was not! I don't think I would return, at least not on a weekend. By the way...ambience = 0 read more

Came for lunch and it was delicious. Had a combo lunch and had more than I could eat! Each bite was so tasty. This has become my go-to spot for sushi for sure! read more

I definitely don't like the overwhelming fishy smell when you walk in.. I also feel like we were looked at as if " how dare you walk in with no reservation " but they had room and sat us.... started with spring rolls. mushy inside.. came with no sauce. shrimp tempura app was ok. pork belly special was soggy and not appetizing in the least. we also got some sushi.. spider roll which was fishy spicy tuna roll which came with no spicy mayo and was also fishy. the way they were platted was idk strange but the sushi was not up to par for me. I just feel like the quality is not there. I don't really understand how this place is so popular. our waitress was very nice and attentive.. but I am a foodie and this is not a spot I would ever return back to. read more

Mainly a take out place during the week and packed on the weekends. Ordered a shrimp tempura roll and to my dismay it was only 5 pieces and literally one shrimp cut up and spread across the roll. Do not understand how it was $17.00- what a rip off. Charged an extra 3 dollars for soy paper/ this roll couldn't fill a small child. The ocean roll is cheaper with salmon and more pieces. Time to write them off if they are going to overcharge customers. The sushi is good but not worth the price. Lots of other reasonable places nearby. read more

I came here with my parents about 10 years ago and today my husband I decided to try since we were in the area. Not much as changed which I really appreciated. Vibe & Service: Excellet service, all the wait staffs are super friendly and very attentive. Inside is very cozy and warm. Food: Has a wide variety of fun appetizers to choose from. (Cold as well as fun hot appetizers and January specials). We ordered 3 appetizers: shrimp agedashi tofu, port cutlet with egg and onion (katsuni), and crab croquette. Appetizers: 4/5 Our favorites were croquette and katsuni. Super flavorful and croquette was extra crispy. Def did not need the tonkatsu sauce that it comes with. Agedashi tofu was a bit dissapointing as the there was too much sauce for the tofu and it lost its crispiness. The sauce had not much flavor. Main dish: 4/5 We ordered futomaki, dragon rolls, and nabeyaki udon. Our favorite was nabeyaki udon. Amazing udon broth warmed up our soul and noodle was very nicely bouncy and cooked well. Worked beautifully with the clams, chicken, and mushrooms. Dragon rolls was fresh and beautifully made. The only disappointment was futomaki which lacked a bit of sweetness. Overall, we agree that we would def come back. I would def try their omakase next time. It is a cute, homey Japanese place that will def warm up your soul with a nice hot udon and array of fun little appetizers! read more

Always great food here!! The service is great and they always have my pick up orders ready on time! My only complaint is that the women working the front desk could be kinder and not as rushy per se but besides that it's a great place! read more

The food is delicious and fresh. Staff is attentive. Tea is served nice and hot. Seems the locals frequent here. Making reservations is a good idea because they asked if we had any, and we did not, but quickly had us seated. Working 10minutes the restaurant was full and people waiting outside to get seated . This was around 6pm Sunday. read more

really nice quality sushi in a nice quiet town. I was really surprised by the freshness if the fish. I ordered off of the al la carte section and got the fatty tuna, tuna, salmon, yellowtail, and sweet shrimp. All were really delicious! We also got the eel over rice which was decent but not very high quality eel (reminds me of the eel you would microwave in the pre-marinated packets). Lastly we got the crazy roll which is a specialty roll $20 and it was HUGE. Really delicious roll and the best part was I didnt feel sickened by the fish at the end. One negative is the water tastes soo horrible im shocked they even serve water like that. Anyways highly recommend for sushi, hard pass on the water though! read more

Masa Sushi and Grill - Japanese Near Me - Allendale, New Jersey

Masa is one of the few sushi places nearby still open for takeout or delivery. We normally don't go to Masa because we perceived as much more pricey than our normal place. But since our go-to wasn't open, we decided to give Masa a try. The food was fresh and amazing and the bill was just a little more than what we'd normally pay. My favorite was the duck tenderloin appetizer...so good and a menu offering not available at our other place. Pick up was pretty easy, with the option to have them put the order in your trunk curbside. Hope these guys survive this crisis because we'd love to dine here again. read more

Wonderful Authentic Japanese Food! We started with the Agedashi Tofu with Shrimp. It was delicious, generous with the shrimp and a reorder on our next visit. We then ordered the Sushi/Sashimi Omakase which was fantastic. There was nothing on the plate that wasn't beautiful, and tasty. The fish was superb, the fatty tuna melted in my mouth. The only drawback of the Omakase was the portuon. I was still peckish after eating. It came with a salad but could have used a bowl or rice, or maybe a dessert. We also ordered the Spicy Tuna roll, which was a bit disappointing. It was too subtle in flavor for our liking, but everything else was perfect. We also ordered the Chicken Tonkatsu which was juicy and full of flavor. Perfectly prepared! We look forward to going back and trying more of their dishes. read more

Did take out and I can't say this is what we ordered, not only the contents, but the context. It just wasn't that good. Take out for 7 was 177.00 and have had better at fast sushi to go chains. Really disappointing on the whole. The most outspoken left almost all in the to go container. I tried it and the chicken was dry and a bit hard. Sushi was mostly tasteless. Sorry to say. Was looking forward to it. read more

Amazing quality food this is now my new favorite sushi place!! Everything was so fresh and I loved the generously sized sashimi. Staff was so friendly and attentive.

A nice sushi spot nestled in downtown Allendale. The restaurant has ample seating and street parking is not too difficult to find. The staff was friendly and took care of my party of 8. They were attentive and came often to check on us. The menu is extensive and also offers seasonal specials. For the most part, the food was very good. Though I didn't love the sushi and Nabeyaki udon. I thought those were average to below average when compared to other similar Japanese restaurants in the area. What we ordered: 1. Grilled beef tongue (A) 2. Tatsuta Age (A-) 3. Agedashi Tofu (A) 4. Grilled Mackerel (A-) 5. Sushi for two (B-) 6. Nabeyaki udon (C+) 7. Seafood yakisoba (B) 8. Sea eel tempura (A+) 9. Grilled eggplant w/ yuzu miso (A-) 10. Salmon donburi (A-) 11. Tempura ice-cream (A) 12. Green tea tiramisu (A-) read more

I love Masa. I will still drive here from Fort Lee just to have good quality omakase. The service is always excellent. The sushi is FRESH. They give you a good portion of rice and fish, they are not stingy. I think it's the best omakase in NJ considering the price, it's a steal. Don't forget to order Shrimp Tempura, they make it so crispy and batter is not too thick! I always eat here and leave feeling happy. BYOB means you can walk to the liquor store next store, literally steps away. Don't forget your bottle of sake, or two. read more

What a great find! Super quick service and very very fresh fish. Really enjoyed it. I just wish they were a bit more creative with their sushi. A lot of sushi restaurants these days are putting crazy things on sushi like broiled tomato or pieces of truffle. If this place became more creative it would dominate the area and be easily five stars. read more

I had the lunch combination called Americas favorite. It came with chicken teriyaki, white rice, miso soup, 6 piece cali roll, shumai, green beans and potato. The teriyaki sauce on the chicken was excellent. The rolls were perfectly made with less rice and more of the filling. The shumai was fried, Light and crispy. The green beans were perfectly cooked yet crispy. The food came out so quick Im so happy I had that for lunch! The waitress were all helping each other and all super nice. The whole atmosphere and design of the place was clean. I was very pleased with my choice. read more

We absolutely love this place! We go out to eat at the finest restaurants 7 nights a week and this is definitely a place we recommend. The only issue is that it's too bright for dinner. We hope that they will turn down the brightness and you will love it here! read more

Gave this place a try twice and both times the rolls were overwhelmingly filled with rice, very little tuna or salmon.

I think people under estimate Masa. I have never had a bad experience for dine in or take out. We often get sashimi and the fish is very fresh. I love getting the fried baby horse mackerel as an appetizer. I will say they are very busy with take out so sometimes they close their online ordering to catch up. I also like their eel sauce and that the put a tiny bit of wasabi in between the fish and rice. read more

Best sushi spot on long island. Best sushi spot on the east coast. Masa never disappoints. The servers are a delight (the girls, not the guys), the food is amazing, they have AYCE/la carte, the bathroom is clean, and the drinks are amazing. This place is so affordable if you decide to do AYCE, and the sushi are just great. Their sushi taste the best, and their appearance looks great. I've came here at least 10 times, and each time they have never failed me. read more

The tonkatsu was delicious - crispy and the flavor was spot on. The portions here are very small for lunch. It was one cutlet and a bowl of rice. The lunch special also included a miso soup. I was definitely still hungry afterwards! Instead of the garnish/radish (no flavor), I would have enjoyed either some pickled vegetables or a salad or something on the side. The lunch menu is pretty limited with not much room for customization... I did come here intending to try the sushi but could not find a lunch special that offered salmon... I think it would have been ~$7 per roll if I ordered from the regular menu. The place is packed and you will likely sit VERY close to the people next to you... you can hear every word of your neighbor's conversation. Cute place - modern and clean and the food is good. Parking is difficult and can get pretty competitive. read more
