Downright awful. Ordered from this place because hayashi was closed. Food took about an hour to get to us. One of the rolls had spoiled tuna. The rolls are extremely small and do not even come close to other sushi places in this area. Will never order from here again. read more

What a horrible sushi place, bad food, horrible customer service And even worse delivery guy! Placed an order only part of it comes, call the restaurant , girl in the phone goes oh sorry the driver forgot it, will send it out now. 1hr later I'm still waiting for this food, when call to speak to the manager was told no one is there now, whAt kind of restaurant doesn't have a manager on a Saturday night? What kind of restaurant only has 1 delivery guy on a Saturday night? Had to put the sushi in the garbage after waiting for so long, will never order from there again read more

It's a great place for sushi and the environment is very lively. The sushi was great for the price. Although the waitress only came by to give us our food, it was reasonable since it was crowded. read more

I ordered delivery for the party . Sushi were uneatable chewable, rice was dry(taste as not a fresh)filling inside was limited and with big amount of rice you cannot even taste most of the order went to trash . this is second time I ordered and was disappointed. read more

My husband and I came across Masakari after walking around the neighborhood looking for sushi spots after a friend of ours told us they had decent sushi's. It turns out, we had ordered from them via delivery once before but didnt realized until we saw the name. Our memory recalled that their sushi was good so we decided to stop in and have lunch. Mind you, it wasn't busy during that time...we walked in asking to see their menu just to make sure it is the same. It took me more than 5mins to get someone to give us a menu because the girl (caucasian) at the counter was chatting on the phone and although she saw us come in and she saw us standing there waiting just to ask she looked at us while still on the phone chatting didnt even give us a nod just even a courtesy that's all we ask even if she is on the phone with a customer or whoever. My husband and I both work at hospitality and the first thing we learn is to acknowledge your patrons regardless of what you are doing. A quick nod or sorry I will be right with you is a common courtesy. We almost walked out while she continue to stare at us without any acknowledgment but we didn't want to interrupt her phone convo. An Asian server finally walks up to us asking if we needed help, we asked for the menu and saw it was the same, we finally sat down. Since we were already there for well over 15mins, we just wanted to get some sushi. The food I must say was really sub-par. We thought the first time we ordered was better. Not sure if their quality of freshness went down but the fish was not super fresh. Tables and utensils were not fully cleaned as I saw some stains but that not to sway from the quality of food. But that does play a role when you are in a restaurant. I've tried a good number of places in my life and this will not be on my list of go to's. Service was ok but front desk need work as it was already a bummer waiting for 15mins to get someone's attention and then with mediocre food which takeout has it beat and you are in the restaurant speaks volume. Will def be ordering from elsewhere now.... read more

Best price best atmosphere good service and tastyyyyy sushi!!!! Only wished I lived across the street

I am absolutely floored that this place only has 3 stars, so I felt the need to jump in and correct such an injustice! I've been to Masakari dozens of times and it gets 5 stars for being consistently the best sushi I've had in Brooklyn and even better than many spots in the city. You don't have to take my word for it though, the place is constantly packed on any given night despite the dozens of competing sushi restaurants within a half-mile radius. The fish is always fresh due to this constant traffic (i.e. ppl eat up all their inventory before it even has the chance to go bad), the service is always good (even on superbusy nights), the rolls are cheap ($2.50 can't be beat) and I even splurge occassionally for their pricey fusion appetizers (try the wasabi crackers, yellowtail guacamole and oyster shots if you're an adventurous eater!). I also love the spicy sashimi salad and non-sushi entrees like the cod (for my picky dad and grandma). I'd also like to add that my bf from Queens loves Masakari more than anywhere else because in Queens you'll be paying double for lesser quality (I'm looking at you Jade Lounge). Love, love, love Masakari! read more

This place is my favorite in Sheepshead Bay. The decor is very nice, usually smells fine in there too. The food is very good. Be sure to try some of the appetizers. The crunchy calamari is great! Oh, the best part is the cold lychee sake, which come in a really cool decanter with a built-in ice-cube! It's practically the only place I go to for sushi. Buen provecho! read more

I'm surprised that this place doesn't have better reviews! I came here last week for the first time, instead of going to my usual spot-- Hayashi. The first thing is that the decoration/layout is very nice and the atmosphere is great. Super cozy place. Secondly, the prices are probably the cheapest around here. Its 2.50 for almost all the regular rolls, excluding 3. Eel avacado is 3, but it tastes amazing. It took a while for the sushi to come, but it was great! I think this might be my new go-to sushi joint. Definitely give it a shot if you're ever in the area read more

My favorite sushi spot in Brooklyn ! Food is always fresh. Reasonably priced. Even when I get delivered it comes on time, correct and tastes delicious. I would recommend the maki combo and the wasabi crackers. read more

Same as the other Japanese places nearby... fish quality was better than the other places though. I wouldn't come back unless I wanted to spend a lot of money for not spectacular sushi. Oh and the decor is modern but mimicked. read more

very good service hostess karina is the best in the world staff is very attentive, which i can notr say about the rest of the places , food is delish and chef is sexy!!! i love you masakari! i had my 2 year old b-day party there the manager richard is so kind and knowledgable! i am here 2-3 times a week, i live 2 hours away happy new year masakari!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Like any other sushi spot on sheepshead bay RD, masakari dishes out an OK food. Some items from kitchen are somewhat creative. All in all, not favorite sushi spot but not too bad either read more

the fish was not fresh, the place was packed and the staff was rude, pushing us to leave when we were still working on our rolls

Great sushi for a great price. The only drawback is it is loud, feels kind of cramped. Definitely not a good place for an intimate dinner. Perhaps better for a birthday party. read more

I do not really like this place as i use to when the restaurant first opened. the service is not so great anymore and they dunk the rice into sesame seeds which i hate. they also give too little in the roll as compared to other place read more

The sushi is price pretty cheaply compare to many other sushi place. The sushi was alright. The place looks really nice inside. The service was good. It does get packed easily. read more

I love this place...relaxed ambiance, fantastic sushi for reasonable price... Perfect for a date or large groups.

So to start, the rating is not for the food but the service, most notably the manager of this place is the worst I've dealt with. There were 2 occasions in which I had incredibly rude interactions with him. First, I came in for lunch on a weekday a while ago and was seated right by the door, not only is the seat right next to the host stand where there's a lot of traffic from customers and staff but it was also a cold day and there was a noticeable breeze. I asked to be moved and given the restaurant was close to empty I didn't think there was an issue to move closer to the interior of the place, for some reason the staff didn't want to do this and the manager came on at which point he moved me to a table opposite the one I was already seated at with the same conditions, he started arguing with me after I pointed out a table that was empty and I left. Next situation was when I put in an order with a friend, my friend was told the wait was 20 minutes and I was told at maximum 30, it was for pickup and I arrived 30 minutes later on the dot. At which point I was told it would be 5 minutes, I waited the 5 minutes at which I was told it would be another 10... this happened a couple of times and I ended up waiting at the restaurant for 50 minutes in addition to the 30, Manager was to busy to come out to say anything to me and none of the staff apologized or even bothered to give me an excuse. One other incident I could think of as I write this review was a friend being overcharged (10x) by accident on a few orders, when he noticed on his statement that he was overcharged and mentioned it to the manager of the place he was told there was absolutely nothing that could be done, once again started arguing instead of resolving the issuing and when he disputed with the credit card company they actually tried to fight the charge, needless to say it was resolved by the credit card company. So my suggestion, if there's an issue that arises just don't pay ahead or wait for the food, just walk out... read more

A more upscale fare than your usual hole in the wall Japanese restaurant. The place is nicely decorated and has a very cool vibe. They have $2.50 prices for regular rolls and $1 for sushi or sashimi, but you ought to try their pricier stuff as well, especially spicy tuna wasabi crackers, which come in a set of 6 and are very filling, as well as a tuna sashimi salad on a bed of cucumber and seaweed with special ginger sauce. Its not on the menu, a waitress suggested it and it was delicious. Finally, try lychee saki, I can only say it has an aftertaste of rose petals. Not a very manly taste, but its great for girls night out, instead of drinking vodka or straight sake. read more

best sushi in sheephead bay. beautiful inside but gets a little crowed at times. desserts are winners also. service is good and quick

I love sushi and have gone to so many places over my life, but this is a place I have been going for two years every week. The best sushi I have ever had. The rock shrimp and walnut seared tuna salad is amazing. Their green tea mochi ice cream is the best dessert. read more

There are plenty of sushi places on Sheepshead bay, and this one should be avoided at all cost. The moment we came in we were rushed by the staff they asked several times " what you order?" In the first five minutes. This is sad, how they treat the people who spend their hard earned money to have a night out. read more

Their sushi is a grade above the twelve other sushi places on the same street - its unique and tastes fresh. Their soups however are pretty terrible so stay away from that portion of the menu. read more

another great sushi spot - fresh sushi and yummy appetizers. gets very crowded and loud; though it doesnt seem to slow down the service so thats a good thing! yellowtail pizza and snowcrab shots are amazing. read more

Always fresh and very yummy! Best sushi around on Sheepshead bay!

It's a great spot, love the food and it's beautiful inside. I come here all the time with my girlfriend and close friends. Only problem is the Waitress's really watch you eat. As soon as you finish a appetizer, he/she pops up and takes the plate out. WTH??? its very uncomfortable. Besides that its a great sushi spot. read more

The food was not bad at all, my friends and I enjoyed each and every dish. I would've given it 5 stars but toward the end when my friend was still chewing the waitress came over and asked if we wanted anything else and proceed to take our plates away, I understand it was dinner time and it was going to get crowded but 5 more seconds and we would've been on our way. read more

greate place wery good sushi , greate service , me and my fathers lovely place, only one place were i can eat suchi, nice interior .

Food is great! Friendly service. Nice ambiance as well.

What an amazing place! The sushi rolls and sashimi are exquisite. Each roll is presented beautifully. The staff are friendly and helpful. The presentation and taste were perfectly executed. Most rolls had special sauces, which really complimented the fish of choice. Unique, tasteful, most definitely worth a try. I will be making the trip out to eat here again, well worth the 1.5 hour subway ride! read more

Unbelievable. The food and service cannot be matched anywhere. I eat there at least two times a week. Getting hungry just thinking about the food. read more

This is my go to sushi spot. The food is always fresh especially the raw fish. I now come here twice a week for dinner and order my lunches here as well. The price, atmosphere, service, and presentation is phenomenal. read more

Used to love this place and come here often but recently have been going to the one down the block. The rolls at Masakari have gotten considerably smaller for the same price. Service is pretty mediocre and the wait for the food is just too long. I don't know why this place has more customers than the other Japanese restaurants at Sheepshead Bay, which I find to be just as, if not more, satisfactory than Masakari. People, check out the other Japanese restaurants down the block! I'm sure their servings are larger so you will be getting more for your money's worth. read more

Best sushi ever. Always fresh. I was only once there but I used to order once or twice a month. White hot roll is my favorite.

Best sushi specially appetizers. I goo all the from massapequa to Brooklyn

Food is fresh as always, perfect. Although it took awhile to serve the food, it still has a beautiful atmosphere and worth the small wait (approx 15mins for everything to be served), great attitude from the waiters and always has a smile, much appreciated, would come back! read more

After eating in the restaurant for over a year at least several times a month, I decided to order in. They told me they will only deliver if over $30 (I am in mill basin) I order 60 dollars worth. After the delivery came, I realized they missed a kani salad ($5.25), I called back and asked them to bring back the missed salad. The girl on the phone said they don't believe they didn't include it. So already they are offending me by calling me a liar of $5 kani salad. She gave the phone to her manager who told me they will bring me back the salad in about 2 hours because I live far, or I can drive to them to pick up the money, or they will give me a "credit" - they also told me I am making a big deal over $5.00 - I asked them how they would feel if I didn't pay them the entire bill? After arguing with them for 20 minutes they finally agreed to send me the money back. Thirty minutes later, they called back and we had the same exact argument again. It's been 3 hours; and I am still waiting on both the salad and/or money. I will never EVER order/dine in this restaurant again. read more
