    Part of the Salmon Love Combo.
    Joyce W.

    "Life is better with a sushi roll in hand." ― Chrissy Teigen Ah, I use to live by a Masa Sushi and then they closed down. I completely forgot that I had always wanted to try this Gilbert location until someone had invited me to their birthday celebration. I got my usual go-to at Masa Sushi: Salmon Love Combo for $23.95. The Norwegian marketing campaign in the 1980s that introduced parasite-free farmed salmon helped kickstart salmon being eaten raw and for that I am grateful. Salmon, with hamachi/yellowtail being a close second, is one of my favorite fishes to eat raw and at Masa, it's decent! Listen, this isn't a high-end fancypants place but they're lovely, they get your food done correctly, and it's a great experience.

    "Heyyy, you were probably the product of your parents' New Year's Day ..." Let's not finish that because I, a Virgo, am traumatized. Thanks, J-Wow. I have a brother that has a birthday three days after mine. As we've gotten older, joint-birthdays have become a thing. I don't mind but sometimes we have a difference in opinions on where we want to go to celebrate for dinner. He wants sushi and I want KBBQ. Masa Sushi was our compromise. I liked my meal. It was a Galbi Teppanyaki Combo. It came with fried rice, short ribs (galbi), and tuna rolls. It hit the spot. There used to be a Masa Sushi about half a mile away from my house so it was nice to pop into Masa again. Good eats.

    We really like this place. It definitely has a Japanese bar vibe. There are lanterns and lots of Japanese parasols hanging from the ceiling. It definitely is a warmer, more colorful, slightly darker lit place than you'd think in the middle of the day in a strip mall restaurant. Its cozy! There are some likely Japanese chotchkes (like a little daruma) throughout. The coolest thing, though, is what had to be thousands of photos of people who have come here to dine and celebrate. The walls are covered! The menu had quite a few good choices--bentos, boats, platters, and lots more. We chose: *A bottle of Fuji apple sake *Bento E (spicy tuna roll, assorted nigiri, mixed tempura with gyoza, chicken teriyaki) served with miso soup and salad *Bento C (assorted sashimi, tuna roll, salmon teriyaki, mixed tempura with gyoza) served with Miss soup and salad We got a lot of delicious food, and it was a great bang for the buck! Service here is always good, too.

    If you want to experience good food, an excellent atmosphere, and exceptional service, you have to come to Masa Sushi. One of the most delicious sushi restaurant in town! 100% recommended

    I have been coming to Masa for years! Masa is perfect for a quick lunch out and to avoid the downtown Gilbert crowds. Service can be hit or miss, it seems as though they typically just have one server and one person making sushi. This was the case for our most recent visit so it took a bit for our food to come out and I did have to ask for the check. Masa is a cozy little spot and the sushi is always consistent, love that they provide complimentary miso soup & salad. Some of our favorites include; assorted nigiri, killer shrimp roll, popcorn lobster roll, masa volcano and the crunch roll.

    My first time dining here this past weekend. We typically order through delivery. The experience was quite good. It's a mom and pop located in Gilbert, would say the food was very delicious. The price was right as well. We ordered mostly sashimi, hand roll each and toro nigiri. For me, likely the better raw sushi I have had in the closet vicinity. The place is filled with Polaroids of patrons over the years which makes the decor fun. Our server was sweet and was very attentive. Overall I think I would definitely come back!

    Mexican roll - bottom / crunch roll - top

    I always drive by this place and have kept telling myself I will stop by. Well the day finally came and we made a little visit on Friday evening. We were greeted as we walked in but waited a few minutes to be seated. There was one big group, a couple smaller groups, and there were only two waitresses running around. We sat down, ordered some waters, and looked over the menu. We ordered: Two orders of Shrimp Tempura One order of stuffed jalapeños One midnight roll One Mexican roll One crunch roll Miso soup and salad The miso soup and salad came out right away and they were both good. The miso soup was not hot enough though and would've tasted better if it had been! The shrimp tempura and stuffed jalapeños were the bombbbbbbb. The tempura was crispy and hot! The stuffed jalapenos were a creamy goodness and they had a very nice kick to them. Our crunch roll and Mexican roll came out not too long after and we enjoyed them both. The Mexican roll had so much flavor and was very filling. The crunch roll was another fave and we wanted moreeee. The midnight roll was baked and it was finally dropped off when we were done with the other two. The midnight roll was unfortunately a hard pass for us as it was very mushy and left us with a gross aftertaste. We gave it two tries and nope, its still a pass so we left it there... Service was very slow, our waters were never refilled, and it took forever to get our check. The servers were friendly but they definitely seemed stressed. Didn't see a "hiring" sign up front but they definitely need the extra help. We were thanked and said "bye" to from the cooks and servers as we walked out the door which was nice. We will be back on a weeknight next so they wont be as busy!

    Vegetarian combo
    Jianette C.

    We have been here several times. They are efficient and the food is good. Last night we called around 7:50 to see if they had room for a party of 3 and they told us they would by the time we got there. When we walked in they already had the table set for us which was awesome. I ordered hot green tea, seaweed salad and the vegetarian combo. The combo was delicious. Unfortunately the seaweed salad was frozen in spots, most likely because they were closing in an hour and didn't have any out. I asked for a new one and they brought it but it was still frozen in some spots. They took it off the bill and took it back. Not a big deal at all, I'm sure it was just because of the time. I usually get it and it's delicious.

    Appetizer: Tempura mixed-huge! And very tasty
    Ann P.

    Stopped by after going to the bike shop a few doors down. It was packed ar 5:15 PM. I ordered the yellow tail sashimi. Perfect temperature and delicious, with a delightful texture. Would absolutely order the gyoza again--finely minced, tender pork. The mixed tempura had onion, sweet potato, zucchini, and shrimp. It was twice the size I expected and super yummy. Although the veggies were served in the traditional tempura way, the shrimp was fried in a different kind of batter, more like a panko. It was ok..and I prefer the traditional tempura style like they cooked the veggies. I will def be back!

    Galbi Teppanyaki Bento with Spicy Tuna Roll
    Emily H.

    My family and I used to come here very often ages ago! Life happens and we just haven't came back but we had dinner here the other day and it did not disappoint! We ordered the Seaweed Salad, Galbi Teppanyaki Bento with Spicy Tuna, Fuji Roll without cream cheese and Energy Roll. They also still serve complimentary miso soup and side salad! Everything was amazing. The salmon on the Fuji Roll was fresh and thick. The Energy Roll actually has eel on it! A lot of places would have rolls with eel and give very minimal but not here. The Spicy Tuna didn't taste fishy and had a sesame sweet flavor, thank goodness! Service was great and food came out quick considering there was only 1 server and multiple tables. Would definitely come again!

    We got there about 20 minutes after opening and the doors were still locked. We saw someone there we waited. The sushi was good but service was very slow. It took another 20 minutes to come take our order. It was only us and 1 other table so there was no reason for the poor service

Rolls are smaller and taste like grocery store sushi rather than quality restaurant sushi. The sauces are different and used way more sparingly, the cuts of the ingredients are inconsistent.

I ordered both and I honestly couldn't even finish the Baja roll. Cheap fish, canned fruit, almost no sauces.

We also tried the takoyaki (octopus balls). I was already getting full, so I wasn't as excited about them, but my boyfriend described them as a BBQ pancake bite. Overall, this is a great spot for ramen. I did notice the music was all girl bands and no boy bands. Clean restaurant, good service, flavorful food, and a fun atmosphere. I'd definitely come back.

Teppanyaki is really more of a show/experience, so the food comes out to you in sections (versus all at once like at a traditional restaurant). The filet was so soft, and was perfectly rare, and the shrimp was so good. I think in the future I'd eat a whole plate of shrimp.
