We just ordered out for lunch. I got three shrimp rolls 1) Spicy Shrimp - was not spicy and we think, not even shrimp. We had no idea what it was. However, what it was was inedible. 2) Shrimp Tempura - if there was tempura, it was mashed and mixed with the mayo which made it look like it had been sitting in the fridge for a couple days. No crunch whatsoever and made it look like multiple day old guacamole (icky brownish color). 3) Just plain shrimp roll which was very fresh with huge hunks of shrimp. I wish all my rolls were this way. My wife got a poke bowl with tuna, rice, avocado, cucumber and cilantro. However, they left out the avocado most likely because she told them no avocado in the rolls. Learn how to listen maybe? It was a large bowl, so we could have shared (had I liked tuna, avocado, or cilantro), but now knowing the size of this portion lets us know that (if there is a next time) we could easily share the bowl. Moral or the story: Go somewhere else for sushi. This place has gone downhill. read more

Takeout sushi that's made to order. Great value if you want to save on the dine-in experience but still get high end dining quality sushi for a few bucks less. The price often has us choosing to carryout and eat at home/park but end up full and satisfied over finding a sit-down sushi restaurant because the value is that good. The classic tuna/salmon rolls are all great (spicy tuna crunch is probably my favorite). The sashimi is generous on the fish/rice ratio but we still end up with more of their delicious rolls (Bella/Baja rolls if you like cilantro). Just make sure you call ahead to place your order so you're not left waiting. read more

Masa's Sushi - Unagi roll, Gina roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Buffalo Grove, Illinois

Eat here and do not think twice about it. They serve quality sushi for a price that simply cannot be beat. The owners are lovely human beings and are so kind (they give my little cousins sweet treats every time we go in). It is by no means the most glamourous spot, but it's a hidden gem that makes you happy once you've started eating their food. read more

After Sushi Grove temporarily closed, we looked for another nearby sushi restaurant and found Masa's Sushi. Ordered here a few times now - the pricing is a little expensive here with many rolls over the $10 range, but the quality has been good! Good fish to rice ratio. No issues so far, even with special orders (like requesting no sesame seeds and no wasabi) so we've been happy with the service. It's a small strip mall restaurant in the older part of Town Center. read more

Fantastic, fresh sushi and I believe it's family owned. I believe it's the best sushi place in BG and their prices are very reasonable.

This place recommended by friend and we went yesterday. Hidden spot in Buffalo grove. Freshly made sushi and rolls as you order. Very clean facility, great quality for good price, quick service. Highly recommend for take away place or eat in there a few tables. read more

Not sure how I never found this place before but better late than never! I love the genuine and authentic care and quality Masa's Sushi offers! The sushi and rolls are great and priced appropriately. The owners are kind and deliver the type of service I found in Tokyo when traveling. What a gem! read more

We ordered a sushi tray and yaki soba for pick up. Everything was delicious, fresh and wallet friendly, especially for sushi! The people are so nice and accommodating. Not sure what they put in their spicy mayo but it's so good! Different than any I've had. Will be our go-to for takeout for sure. read more

I went here on a trip to Chicago, which is where I am originally from. This little hidden spot. Does not deserve to be hidden when it has very good sushi at a very reasonable price. We found this place while we were looking for some sushi one night and found that our regular spot was closed. My family and I were so happy with the sushi that we had food excellent and the mother, father and son Trio that worked was great super nice and super friendly. The only thing I have to say about this place is that chicken teriyaki was a bit overcooked but i'm not removing a star because of that since they did take it off or refunded the money because we said it wasn't that good if you want some sushi come here. read more

Only a few tables and most patrons do take out but the service is friendly and welcoming. You will find All the traditional sushi offerings. Nothing out of the extraordinary but solid, consistent, fresh Japanese food. It just hits the spot for me. read more

Small place mainly focused on takeout owned by awesome family. We dine in and it was amazing! The delicious food was so good that my little daughter eat three salmon avocado rolls and wanted more but I had to stop such a madness. Prices also very nice :) Definitely recommend! read more

Masa's is where it's at! While the sushi is a bit pricey, it is worth the cost as the quality is immaculate. Everything tastes extremely fresh and I have never had something I didn't like there. In addition, the noodles and cooked dishes they serve are delicious as well. Service is great, and I really enjoy the simplicity of the place, as you can walk in and get instantly greeted. You can tell this place is family owned and truly cares about their clientele and what they serve. It's simple, to the point and done very well! Bravo, Masa's. read more

Great value for sushi, always great tasting creations and the owners are the nicest people.. would suggest this place for take out anytime.

Carry out order was perfect. Fish was fresh. A nice surprise from a smaller restaurant. Wish they had a website to see current menu/prices.

A small Ma and Pa place that's mostly carry out. I've been to most or all sushi places in and around Buffalo Grove and this is one of the best places around! Really good quality simple sushi that's fresh and well made. The owner/sushi chef is Japanese and his wife is Korean...a perfect combination for food in my opinion read more

Favorite place to get sushi in Buffalo Grove. The owners are so kind and the everything is always delicious and fresh. Great price and portions too. read more

I personally think they have the BEST spicy tuna (the chopped up, small chunks of tuna mixed with sriracha sauce, scallion and sesame seed oil kind) rolls and spicy tuna nigiri (please see photo)! I also think Masa's makes the BEST double shrimp tempura lettuce lite mayo rolls! For a $100, it's truly possible to have a MEGA, pig-out shameless sushi binge fest. As for the sashimi, I was not too crazy about them. I prefer to stick with their rolls, and spicy tuna and unagi nigiris. The owners are friendly/adorable, place very clean and prior to Covid-19 shut-down back in March, they did have a few tables (each accommodating four chairs) available enabling people to eat in. I believe their business is mostly all take-outs. I do want to mention they can miraculously hustle fast with the food orders, even when they get slammed with phone take-out orders!---my experience for average wait when ordering in person was about under ten minutes for orders of four to five rolls. BTW, I recommend calling them first---not sure what their Covid-19 social distancing rules are like nowadays.) read more

Thought my review from two years ago needed an update. We order from Masa roughly every two weeks. There are rolls we like and rolls we love. We had a company party and we ordered from Masa and it was a huge hit! There were zero rolls leftover! I ordered from Masa last night and it was a 90+ degree day in late September. She had filled a bag with ice and put in my to go back to insure that the sushi stayed cool. That's great customer service! read more

Horrendously overpriced for what you receive. They also clean some of their utensils in buckets outside--not sure how that is sanitary. When I ordered chicken teriyaki the cook came and took it from the freezer in the front of the store with his bare hands. Also not sanitary. Again, buyer beware. read more

Been to this place for years, Masa Sushi is our go to sushi in the suburbs. Great quality at an affordable price. Spicy tuna is unique, not overly saucy like other places, but has a nice spicy kick!Fish portions are very generous. The staff is super friendly and they treat you like family. read more

Amazing service and authentic sushi at an incredible price! I got their lunch combo #5: for $8.95 I got a cucumber, California and spicy tuna rolls. Would for sure come back for lunch or order out. read more

Masa's Sushi - Lunch combo 5- I had already eaten half of it! There was so much that I had leftovers. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Buffalo Grove, Illinois

Not bad sushi for a takeout place in the burbs. I ordered the sushi combo B, seaweed salad, house salad, and 3 pieces of sashimi a la carte. The sushi combo B was at a pretty fair price, and the fish was fresh and tasty. The a la Carte sashimi cuts were where the gold was, though. A bit expensive, but you are definitely paying for the thickness of the cuts. The seaweed salad was very measly, as was the house salad, which only contained lettuce and carrots...otherwise, this was a filling and healthy meal for one person. I prefer tensuke for takeout sushi though. read more

This place does only carry out and I have to say that I only come here because of the convenience factor. It is 30 sec from my condo and when I don't feel like going anywhere nice and when I know I want to settle for below par sushi- I come here. What I DO like about them is that they never mess up my order, very friendly over the phone and when I come in they always greet me with a smile. Plus, it takes them like 10 minutes to make 4 rolls, so that's pretty fast if you ask me. Onto the sushi, it's very reasonably priced and the rolls have a decent amount of fish which is a plus. What they do wrong is over stuff it with rice? Just why cover up wonderful and fresh fish with an exorbitant amount of rice. I do have to say i enjoy the philly tan roll with shrimp tempura as my guilty pressure. (i usually stick to the raw stuff elsewhere) So overall it's an a okay place if you're not sushi snobs like my husband and I, and we come here once or twice a year when we're too lazy to go anywhere else. Countdown has begun and I shall see you in December :) read more
