The bento box was really good but the regular sushi pieces were too thick and were too chewy. I will be baxk to give them another try.

Without a doubt, hands down our favorite sushi restaurant. It is our traditional "anniversary dinner" spot. Who knew you had to go to a sushi restaurant for the best stuffed jalapeño plate in Arizona? Also, the yellowtail is always fresh and butter smooth! Take some time and enjoy our favorite! read more

1st time here. I'm not usually a sushi person but the pictures & combo options make ordering easy. The place us very clean& staff is super friendly read more

Food was cold(the beef and chicken plates), the snapper was not fresh. Mediocre at best. Nobody made an effort to fix our food.

This place is amazing amazing staff and food been her 5 yine this month cant get enough o highly recomend this place to anyone who likes sushi bring family its friendly environment for all the staff is friendly and amazing. read more

Great sushi. fun place to be. Not huge or anything so just keep that in mind. Tons of rolls and things to choose from. It is a must try!

HANDS DOWN BEST SUSHI IN TOWN!! We come here at least once a week. Best quality and best prices. Can't beat that! Plus all the staff members are super cool and personable. :) won't go to another sushi place again! read more

I'm giving this place three stars because the people are so nice that work there, but the food was not. I got a pick up order and the sushi tasted like it had been sitting out for awhile. Couldn't eat more than a couple pieces before throwing it away because I was grossed out ): read more

So far this place is a one of kind Price is reasonable and quality also not bad Good combo menu and all day happy hour I will go this place again, read more

Grandparents always come here, everyone is always friendly, food is never bad, portions are nicer for the price you pay as they always end up with takeaway! They also love dessert here! Tip: if you leave a review you get free edamame or gyoza! We went for the edamame read more

Masa sushi is affordable, yummy, & has great variety of sushi rolls! It's my favorite sushi place in the area (:

I have never been to a sushi restaurant where I had to actually stop eating because the food was so gross. First time for everything. The salmon nigiri was so tough that I couldn't bite it in half. It was almost rubbery. The other sushi plates (we had four in all) smelled very fishy mixed with the faint odor of cleaning fluid. The fried rolls tasted like they had been cooked in very old oil. The prices were extremely reasonable, and the restaurant itself was decent in terms of tone and decor. I liked that they gave you complimentary miso and salad, although I didn't care for the salad dressing. In all, definitely a place I will never return to again. read more

I don't get the hype. It's definitely an Americanized sushi joint. Most things are fried, baked and/or swimming in sauce.... I enjoy sushi for the delicate flavors of fresh fish. The pieces of the rolls are HUGE, so you can't fit the entire piece in your mouth easily (that's what she said). It'll do if I am in suburbia. But overall, there are better places. read more

Garbage. This is your typical AZ, Korean owned/run, sushi + "Asian fusion", quantity over quality sushi joint. Don't let the Korean comment sour you. There are a few very good Korean sushi places here in AZ, but they're few and far between. If you don't know the difference between a Korean sushi place and a Japanese sushi place, simply add 3 stars to my rating and stop reading now. For most people, this place will be just fine, but if you are a big sushi fan and have a lot of experience eating sushi, you will be disappointed. The good: - Water The Bad: - Green Muscles were mushy in the center and, frankly, tasted bad and old. - Fresh chopped wasabi was not good. How this is possible, I have no idea. - PONZU SAUCE ON EVERYTHING!! WTF? I want to taste the damn rice, how in the hell can I taste the rice if it's drowning in Ponzu sauce? EPIC FAIL. - Fish pieces on Nigiri and Sashimi were WAY too big and too thick and threw the ratio off. I left about 15 pieces of sushi on the table. This is the first time something like this has ever happened. Again, if your idea of good sushi is an evening of "Uber AZ Rolls" or any roll with ingredients more than rice, seaweed, single fish, go here, eat, have fun. If you refuse to soil soy sauce with wassabi and dip your nigiri upside down in the soy sauce, avoid this place like the plague. read more

Great selection of food. I usually have a hard time figuring out what I want here. Absolutely delicious. Love that they're only a block away. A great alternative to hitting restaurant row in Gilbert. We usually order take out. Like others have said it's a basic sit down place with a couple TVs going but it's too cramped for me. I like dining in the comfort of my home more. read more

Soooo glad I discovered this place! I'll admit, I was being lazy when I decided to eat here. I was CRAVING sushi, but did not want to drive all the was to my regular spot 25 minutes away. This place just happens to be right down the street. I also had my son (who is a 6-year-old sushi fiend) and sister with me, so I kind of took a chance on this place. It did not disappoint! We went and just happened to catch happy hour, which made it even better! Between the 3 of us, we have quite a few different rolls, including of course, my customary Vegas roll. Delicious! We had a great time here. Everything tasted amazing and the service was great! Cannot say enough about this place. So happy to have a sushi spot in Gilbert! read more

I decided to meet a friend here on a whim for a relaxing Friday night dinner. I was looking for a place close to my house that specifically did a sushi happy hour. I figured this establishment was a good bet based on the reviews. Not so much. I then realized when it comes to sushi in Arizona, I've been steered wrong so many times, which makes me believe most people in Arizona haven't had excellent sushi, on a coast. When you've eaten a lot of sushi, you know quality vs. crap. The good thing was this place wasn't the worst sushi I've had, but it definitely was down there on the list. The pieces of fish were huge and disproportionate to the rice, which should be the first red flag. Sushi is small & pricey for a reason. The fish was cut haphazardly, the nigiri was three times the size as the rice beneath it. Oh, and the weirdest thing was this strange clear gooey sauce under all the rolls AND nigiri. At first I thought I was tasting something funny with the fish but after asking the waitress, we found they put ponzu sauce on EVERY single roll and under the rice with the nigiri. Now, don't get me wrong, I like ponzu sauce, but not on everything. When I'm ordering a yellowtail roll, I don't want a gooey sweet sauce masking the flavor of the fish and rice. Maybe they were trying to mask the flavor of the fish and rice? Hmmmmm. I ordered one of the special rolls. It was nothing special. I specifically noticed the tuna on the outside to be too firm and chewy and the spicy tuna on the inside to be way too mushy. It was all a horrible consistency. The bill was cheap, $67 for three people and that's with about twice as much fish as we could eat. Would I go back? No. Was it the worst? No, but I'm not a fan of taking risks with sushi. read more

All sushi are created equal. Sushi is sushi, no matter who makes it. A type of sushi tastes the same, no matter which sushi bar or restaurant makes them. No, no and no. Where do people get these ideas? Who makes up these misleading and deceptive lies?!? Ok, I love the variations that individual sushi places bring to sushi. Not so much the nigiri-style sushi but the rolls or the maki-style sushi. Sure, there are standards like the oh-so droll California roll, the philadelphia roll and things like the caterpillar, dragon and rainbow roll. Most of these sushi places are individual stores that either act alone or have a branch or two in a metropolitan area, so there's a lot of leeway or allowance to develop your own signature maki or sushi rolls. Ok, enough with the lesson, but it's a setup. Don't scold me. This place rocks! Check out the bento meals, you get a bunch of stuff like fried rice, sushi roll pieces and bulgoki, a korean style sweet tangy beef BBQ. I got the Hot Sun Roll: crabmeat, cream cheese, cucumber and shrimp tempura on the inside; baked salmon on the outside. Be careful! It's hot (but not spicy). I got 2 pieces of tamago and unagi a la carte; they're my faves. My friend and I shared hot sake. That was a perfect compliment to our meal. After all that, before I got too full, I had to give up and say, I'm ready for dessert! Then came the dessert. That was the surprise. Thin apple slices arranged into a fan with Pocky sticking out of the ice cream that supported it. An orange "bowl" with toothpicks to pick up the slices. A work of art that's edible. I think they serve it after every meal. Food: B+ Value: A- (esp the bento meals, either lunch or dinner) Service: A (friendly, with a lot of smiles and prompt) Variety: A+ (check out the menu, the variety alone will overwhelm you) When all that's said and done, this place is tops. If you're in the area (and I'm saddened that I'm from out of town), this place is a Must Try. Go! I mean now! read more

Realy likes this place. The only thing i didnt like was the tuna tartar which was very rubbery and rough .

This is the best sushi place in the valley. I am a sushi lover and have tried many sushi places in east valley. This place is my favorite! They provide best sushi for very good value. It is tasty, comes with complementary soup, salad and desert. Combos are a good sampler of several types of sushi! I love Masa Sushi! read more

Masa Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

I love this place so much I almost wanted to give it a bad review so people wouldn't go. I love the fact that you can half half rolls (4pieces California 4 pieces spicy tuna) instead of having to choose one roll or have to find rolls everyone can share . The only thing I dislike is they changed their dessert so you don't get pocky sticks anymore. The salad dressing they serve my friend described "I would bath in this". For the non sushi fans they have bento boxes with is a few small portions of meat rice sides of your choosing. Ths service is always great quick and they are willing to explain any of the rolls to you. read more

Masa Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

I enjoyed Masa sushi. My husband ordered the Ninja Dinner and got so much food! The service was good and they gave us a complimentary apple and orange dessert. We will definitely go back. read more

See all

I absolutely LOVE this sushi place! I'm visitng my family in Arizona and being a huge sushi fanatic, they brought me to Masa and I am NOT disappointed! The sashimi was fresh and the pieces were SO full and large. Some sushi places only put a small sliver on their sushi pieces, but Masa put very, VERY generous pieces in and on all their sushi pieces. Definitely recommend this place- love it! PS. Sorry if this review is a little too happy and ridden with grammatical mistakes. I just love Masa too much. read more

Ill never forget the day I went into the bathroom and saw 3 cockroaches. Now don't get me wrong, I love masa! The sushi is absolutely amazing... The salad and soup... Great! They told me they put pineapple in the dressing! You can actually buy it in bottles. Plus the dessert at the end is really cute. However none of this really matters... It's not easy to eat after a near death experience with cockroaches. read more

Usually I don't give five stars, i always question my self, am I going to look forward to come again? If so, what is the reason or is there more than one reason? In this restaurant there are more than one reasons why I will be looking forward to coming back!. First is the service, outstanding! The second I entered I was greatest and directed to my chair... TWO seconds later I had my table set up with a small salad and a small cup of miso soup! Both were excellent! Then I ordered a beer, I hate a beer if its not very very cold and believe me not many restaurants grasp that concept, the beer was perfect! Them the menu, I like to see pictures of the sushi, might not be considered upscale for many, but for me helps me a lot to see the preparation and gives me a good indication to what expect. Place was not packed but there were many busy tables, the sushi I ordered was brought after only 3 minutes! The size of the thing!! And the quantity of the meat! This thing had tons of Tuna and Salmon mucho mas than average! And the taste, wow. After a short visit I'm looking forward to the next. This was a flawless experience and I would greatly recommend! read more

Masa Sushi - Spacy x 2 - Sushi Bars Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

I have been to this place three times now and it never disappoints. The sushi rolls are on the bigger side, but they definitely don't cheap you with the amount of fish they give you. After going to a few really bad sushi spots, I'm glad I can always count on this place for a good sushi craving! read more

Management has definitely changed, unfortunately for the worse - service is slow and unprofessional. Sushi quality has deteriorated and the kama (yellowtail collar) is bordering on questionable. Definitely more of an HH spot for good prices, but wouldn't come here for quality. read more

I wanted to try this place because I was in the neighborhood. There are quite a few lunch choices but not the best prices. I ordered the bento bulgogi . They place the meat on the rice and by the time it got to me the rice was soggy. Same with the roll it came with. Bottom of rice was super soggy from the sauce it came with. Not cool. I wouldn't go back to this place. read more

First time here I wasn't sure what to expect. They were fairly busy for only having one server but other than that this place was great. I was surprised when the server brought a little salad and miso soup before my sushi as I didn't realize it came with it. The sushi was amazing but I felt like the pieces were a little too big. At the end of the meal the server brought a fancy half orange pre sliced with whip cream and Carmel drizzled over the top. I would definitely recommend this place! read more

Masa Sushi - Great food and value! Love this place!! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

TL;DR: Service is good, sushi tastes weird, smells fishy. Went here last night craving sushi and wanting to try something new. The staff and service was good, the sushi was not. I would literally rather get sushi from the grocery store. I ordered the Alaskan combo and I can't say that any part of it was good. One roll was too sweet, the other had too much cream cheese making the consistency really mushy and gross. I returned it ultimately because a big chunk of skin was left on the salmon. I've never had such a strange combination before. A few other things we ordered were also really fishy smelling/tasting (like the Escobar). The only good one was the Lion King roll. The front staff was nice and they reimbursed about half my order which was nice. They even offered to remake the salmon skin roll which I declined. I don't think I'll be coming back to Masa again. read more

I love walking in to this place. Four people yell at you in Japanese. I have no idea what they're saying (for all I know, it could be something like "Get out, white devils!"), but it's fun and exciting and makes you feel welcome. Furnishings are tasteful, in an IKEA sort of way. Lights are indirect--bright bulbs shone through red and purple paper umbrellas. The walls are covered with Polaroids of people who have fulfilled some specific requirement, but I've never worked out what exactly the requirement is, despite having ended up on the wall myself on two separate occasions. Windows are hung with fabric prints of Japanese art. Tables are straight out of the business IKEA catalog--the leather chairs are super-comfortable, but avoid the wooden high-top chairs at all costs! Environment is more casual and restaurant-y than somewhere like RA, but I feel a little out-of-place when I'm drinking a soda here. I usually order one of their modestly priced sake bombs or Japanese beers. The sushi here is amazing. They have this cool happy hour menu that has half-and-half rolls separated by price. The full menu has whole rolls, but I've never even cracked it because I like to get the half-and-halves for two reasons: first, if I'm being cheap-o one night, I know which side of the menu to inspect; second, I get to try several different things, even when I only go with one or two other people. The rolls themselves are always well-prepared and wrapped tightly, but served with a minimal amount of presentation. Rolls tend to be too big for one bite, so if you're still on training wheels with chopsticks, I recommend asking for a fork. I have ordered two cooked items (other than tempura sushi rolls): chicken teriyaki and beef yakisoba. The nicest word I could use for the chicken teriyaki would be "bland." I didn't taste the beef yakisoba until after someone else had doused it with soy sauce, but the one bite I had convinced me never again to order something cooked from their menu. Honestly, it's never a problem anyway because I'm so nuts for the sushi. Service is average-to-lousy. Waitresses are sweet and polite, but really not very good at waitressing. You'll wait ten minutes to get your drink and another ten to place your order; refills are free for non-alcoholic beverages (including their tasty iced green tea), but to get one you'll probably have to get up out of your seat to flag down an employee. Before you order drinks, you're presented with a small bowl of fresh lettuce with Asian dressing (they call it "salad," but it's just bagged iceburg lettuce with no other ingredients) and another small bowl of miso. These are included in the price, as is the little peacock you receive with your check at the end of the meal. The peacock is made from an apple, an orange, some whipped cream, and a few chocolate-dipped sesame sticks. All in all, I recommend this place very highly for a casual dining experience. It would be a great place to bring some out-of-town friends or relatives who like fresh Japanese cuisine. It's not bar-y enough for happy hour, but it's a little too bar-y for me to ever consider taking in kids. It's a little too noisy for a first date, but for an average night out with some friends it's perfect. read more

Called to order take out and they told me we aren't taking orders because they were too busy inside. Told me to try back tomorrow or come in and eat. I would have waited for the sushi but wasn't given the option. Not to mention they were horribly rude over the phone. I never have tried their food and now I definitely wont be. read more

This is my neighborhood go-to Sushi place. Having lived in Japan, I love good sushi and yet I can't always afford it in town. I can afford to go here on occasion, and I believe you get slightly better than what you pay for. This isn't the place for that special once a year sushi night out. This is the place to go if you can't afford the upscale sushi that you would prefer, but have high enough standards that you won't stoop so low as to eat the supermarket sushi at Fry's. This is also a fantastic place to take kids, whether it's just to introduce them to sushi or if they are savvy enough to choose sushi over Chick-Fil-A One thing I really like about the place is their "Happy Hour" pricing all day long. These particular specials allow you to order two variety or rolls in one, for example my kids love the California roll/Spicy Tuna Roll combo. The get 4 of each, which is plenty for my kids and it then allows me to select my own specialty roll, or some other roll that I want them to try. This is is great place to experiment for the uninitiated. You get miso soup, salad and a cool free dessert of whipped cream, oranges and Pocky sticks (also a hit with the kids). You're not going to get the authentic Japanese experience complete with the shouts of "Irashaimasen!" when you walk in, but it's authentic enough for what they charge. Side note: I once accidentally left my ID here while eating alone. Must have fallen out of my wallet when I paid. Couldn't find it anywhere. Weeks later, I went back in and the waitress recognized me and brought it to me. THAT. WAS. AWESOME! (But I also wondered why no one took the initiative to mail it to me. What if I never went back?) read more

Oh Masa, my love, my favorite restaurant in all of Phoenix. What amazing sushi. Love sushi. Could eat sushi everyday. You must order the number 33 off the happy hour menu; it's seriously amazing. And the monkey balls. One because they are fun to tell someone you would like some monkey balls, and two they are ridiculously good. I can't tell you how much I love this place, but I'm pretty sure I paid their electric bill last month. My photo is on the wall with my honey, so that always makes me smile too. Can't go wrong with this delish place. read more

LOVE this little Sushi Bar!!! My husband and I come here with our 2 kids all the time. The staff is extremely friendly and no one minds the kids.... Granted, our kids are huge sushi fans, they both know their way around the menu, and can use their chopsticks, plus they eat everything!!! They are pretty well behaved, too. Masa gives you the best in a meal, as soon as you are seated you are greeted with hot miso soup and a salad that has the most fantastic dressing ever!! The edemame is always hot and salted, the sashimi is always fresh and the rolls are fantastic. Don't forget about the AMAZING dessert they serve after your meal!!! Masa has awesome lunch and happy hour specials too!!! I just can't say enough about this wonderful little sushi bar!!! read more

I love sushi... Not all of it and definitely not the premade kind. Having said that, there are not nearly as many good options for sushi in Gilbert, as I had hoped for... but this one is good! Eel is great. I like the AZ caterpillar and they do specials for half rolls if you're undecided. If you eat in - you get miso soup, salad, your entree and they bring you a little complimentary dessert with your check. Today I'm braving the take out, so I'll keep you posted on that one... Bottom line - if you like sushi- that's a good place to get some :) read more

Yet another korean owned sushi restaurant. Being korean-american, this doesn't bother me that much. It just means I'll order the korean stuff on the menu over the japanese stuff. I'm somewhat new to the area, so still exploring sushi restaurants and don't have much to compare to around here yet. I was here for lunch, which was nice because of the lunch combo meals that you can get. We got the bulgogi combo (korean marinated beef) and I can't even remember what combo I got. I know it wasn't sushi or sashimi. But also to be clear...koreans do sushi rolls just as well as the japanese, and usually for cheaper. However, given how few Korean restaurants there are around here, eating at the korean owned sushi restaurants is a great way to get a quick korean food fix. All in all, somewhat lackluster food, but perfectly reasonable for lunch. Doubt I will come here for dinner. read more

oh man! This is my Jam for sushi! Hands down! the service is typically good but if its a busy night bring your patience. but in regards to food, the amount, the cost & the presentation-impressive! read more

This is my goto for Sushi in the Gilbert area. I pieces are big and the prices are low! They start you out with a soup and a salad with a yummy dressing. Then your sushi comes, Then they bring you a nice dessert of thinly sliced and artistically arranged apple slices, half a orange and pocky sticks drizzled in a raspberry sauce I believe and whip cream! Great way to finish! Be sure to have your picture taken for the wall. I am someplace on those walls. Happy Hour.....All day! read more

Oh my gosh, Masa Sushi is the BEST! Love this place! Service is incredibly friendly. I've called in a few to-go orders and they're always nice on the phone. The prices are good for HUGE rolls, plus you can get 1/2 and 1/2 rolls if you don't want to commit to just one thing. I highly recommend Masa. Best sushi in Gilbert! read more
