    Meet the Westheimer location - the newer edition of the franchise (OG located in Sugarland)! I can now travel half the distance to get the same amazing AYCE sashimi/sushi! The inside is quite spacious and very accommodating. Wait time was very brief and our group was seated almost immediately. I noticed that this location has a menu with even more appetizers compared to the original and quite elevated I would add! Even though it's AYCE sushi, the dining experience and curation of the plates is exquisite! All of the classics are here - Nemo Roll, I-10 roll, Dragon roll, etc. Our waitress was very kind and accommodated our requests for a smaller bowl of ramen as we wanted to try as many things. The sashimi was fresh and we quickly devoured our fill of salmon, yellowtail, scallops, surf clam, eel, and octopus! Much love to the Sushi Masa restaurants here in Houston!!!

    The AYCE sushi scene is starting to become fierce in Houston. There's always one popping up around the corner. Sushi Masa stands its ground in this competitive battlefield, which is why I'm definitely not surprised that they have been expanding and opening new locations. For the price, sushi masa's quality is second to none. This location is great. The tuna and salmon sashimi were fresh and tasty. I love that you can order so many portions all at once. We had a large group, which made ordering rolls easier because we could share. The menu isn't really different compared to the other places, but this does have a secret menu with ramen and some unique other options like "Asian tacos", which were fun bites. My friend got the ramen and was able to order a half portion, but it was still huge! It looked great though and the sip I had of the broth was rich and creamy. Not enough pictures below because food came quick and service was fast. Great job as always, sushi masa!

    This newer location of sushi masa is very large and spacious. I like the decorations and aesthetic of the seating area. I thought the ayce menu was worth it. I really liked the cucumber wrapped sushi. They have many options available to try. Everything is made fairly quickly and the service was good.

    Came in on a Saturday night without reservation and seated immediately. Place was about 2/3 full, very large location. Dress code: casual Food 4.5/5: very high quality sushi and sashimi for an ayce. Rice to fish ratio was fantastic and all the food was very flavorful. Obviously not omakase quality but quantity is a quality all its own and the quality was not lacking either Ambiance 4/5: clean and warm environment with wood furniture, more rustic feel Service 4.5/5: very attentive and friendly, able to offer good advice when asked Value buffet/5: for me it's a 5/5 value since I eat a lot but given the quality it's even higher value. It's a little further out from me but still worth Overall 4.6/5: probably my fave new ayce given the quality and variety available, will be back often despite the distance from me Parking: large lot

    Came for the AYCE dinner and left with a great dining experience! From the moment we entered, we had excellent and attentive service. The interior was spacious and well decorated with a loved cherry blossom tree really setting the vibe. Our waitress was amazing and really took the time to explain the menu and options, and checked in on us. The AYCE menu was impressive and oh so delicious. Everything from the nigiri to the sushi to the sashimi to the rolls were amazing. I loved the Nemo roll and the yellowtail sashimi. The gyoza and yakitori were tasty as well. The double spicy roll with the crushed chip texture was unique and flavorful. I also liked that the dessert and drink were included and thought the ice cream and tempura cheesecake were amazing. Overall, highly recommend!

    A pretty decent sushi spot for lunch (and probably dinner?). Went on a Tuesday for lunch and it was not too busy. Affordable lunch special - it was $14 or $16 for 3 types of sushi roll plus soup or salad. You can go with miso or clear/mushroom soup, although that wasn't really explained or offered when we ordered. I found overall the sushi was decent for the price but the service was a little off on timing / cadence the whole time we were there. I can tell from the reviews that most people really enjoy this place! I think we probably went on an off day with service being weird but overall still recommend checking out it for affordable and decent quality sushi!

    I seen this spot on Instagram, so we decided to stop by and check it out. They have a lunch special that is all you can eat for $20.95. It is located in a pretty large building and there is plenty of parking available. When we walked in, we were quickly greeted by the hostess, who asked us if we had any food allergies. We were quickly seated after that. There was no wait for a table at lunchtime. The decor is very Instagramable! We sat in a pretty large booth, but tables were available also. Our server was very nice and she checked on us frequently throughout our visit. It wasn't very loud in here and you were definitely able to hold a conversation without yelling. The food is good. I've been to a few other AYCE sushi spots. This place was definitely not my favorite, but the quality of the food was fine. The fish was fresh. The eel was our favorite!! The selection seemed to be limited as far as desserts and appetizers. I would say that it seemed to be a delay on the food coming out compared to the other spots I've been to as well. Overall, the food was good. I'm just not sure if I would return.

    Nice decor, great food and service. We didn't get the all you can eat, but got an assortment a la carte. Kimchi, grilled skewer shrimp, masa roll, tuna Nigeria, and cocktails. Highlights - the kimchi was a good amount of spicy. The shrimp was small but very tasty. And our server, Jacob T was great.

    Still in their grand opening phase and things are going well! We tried a bit of everything: sushi, sashimi, rolls, apps, tempura, noodles, dessert... We stuck to the AYCE menu and I think we definitely got our money's worth. Food is fresh and tasty, huge restaurant (the old Yao), service was fast, plenty of parking in the shared lot. Hope the location survives!

    New AYCE sushi place opened?? Say less! Right off the bat I've already tried other Sushi Masa locations so I did not have too high of an expectation for this place. Upon entering, the place was extremely spacious and clean. There was no wait. We were seated immediately as we walked in. The food definitely exceeded my expectations and was absolutely worth the price. The presentation was top-notch, with dishes arriving quickly and beautifully plated. There is a lunch [~21$] and a dinner menu [~32$]. I opted for the dinner menu, as it offers more options for sashimi and appetizers. Our server checked on us often and made sure we were satisfied with our food. For the price and quality, I would definitely revisit.

    My friends and I are huge fans of the OG Sushi Masa in Sugar Land, so when we heard they opened up a new location on Westheimer we started making plans to go visit! In a twist of fate, the opportunity presented itself after an unexpected power outage at Mensho - it was an easy dinner detour to Westchase from Chinatown, and we easily found parking at Masa's strip mall. It was pretty quiet and we felt like we had the place to ourselves; we were well attended by the staff and enjoyed a more relaxed pace to our AYCE sushi. Here are my thoughts on our experience: Menu: The classic Masa menu comprises hot and cold appetizers, nigiri, sashimi, basic and signature rolls, tempura, teriyaki, fried rice/noodles, and desserts - this location has a "secret" menu where you can also order 1 of 3 bowls of ramen! I loved ordering all my tried-and-true faves (shout-out to the mango salmon, teriyaki shrimp, and Nemo and double spicy rolls!) as well as decadent sashimi platters that could have come from a much more expensive à la carte sushi bar. The presentation was on point that night - the chefs certainly had the time and effort to give each plate some pizzazz! The ramen was alright; its inclusion gives non-sushi eaters more options on the menu but it's a far cry from our original plan to eat at Mensho, haha. Don't forget your scoop of ice cream at the end, ideally served alongside a piping hot order of banana tempura! Service: Given our guest-to-server ratio that night, we received friendly, prompt, and efficient service (as we always do at Masa!) They took the time to chat with us about the new opening and even accommodated my request for a half portion of ramen - in short, they were incredible and I hope they'll continue that hospitality once the crowds start coming. Ask for Dragon, he's a hoot-and-a-half! Logistics: Parking and tables are extremely accessible (at least for now) but it turns out that it's the same driving time from my neighborhood to here as it would be to the Sugar Land location. Plus, a slower dinner service doesn't necessarily bode well for the rate of food turnover, which is always appreciated when consuming large quantities of raw fish. I think the OG still has the edge at the moment, but I'm hopeful this branch will flourish in short order - I'll definitely be back the next time I'm looking for my sushi fix :)

    i stopped in for their "ayce" special, which i think is a pretty good deal. the food was great quality for "ayce". i really like how it's made to order and not a buffet style. my entire party was pleased with their meal. they even offer some children's meals for the picky eater, like tenders and fries! which is great because it's hard to feed a picky eater at japanese restaurants because the typical fried chicken option is karage and not tendies. ohhh.. and on the ayce menu they have snapper listed as a hot entree... but they actually do not have snapper... unless you like mystery fish our server was great! and the layout of the space is massive and great for a large party. bonne appétit

    The website says, "Includes Soft Drink or Iced Tea with Free Refills." Is that accurate here?

    That is correct! Go hungry and thirsty! You could also get a beer or wine as well. I opted for the wine option as I wanted to partner with Chardonnay.

Upon arrival, I was told that I could not sit at the sushi bar and eat. If I wanted to order I had to go sit in the common area of this dining hall. After this discussion, I said fine and asked for a menu. They then told me I had to get up and order at the register and view the menu glued to the counter. They took the order of a couple who sat down maybe 2 minutes before me in front of me. I will never come back to this place. They seem to be the last man standing in this dining hall, and with this kind of customer service, they won't last much longer. It's a shame because I love the food and I am a regular at handies and aiko as well. Won't be back to any of them.

I picked the Maguro Crudo and it was so fresh and clean and just the right amount of sauce, perfection. The two handrolls I picked were Kani and BF Tuna. The tuna was optimal and had the perfect balance and ration of constituents as well as the right amount of flavor. The Kani I was a little disappointed in, it was like eating tuna fish. Lastly, I got the mochi matcha and while the flavor was good, the consistency was a little weird. Probably not something I would get again. I will be back very soon to try the main menu and eat more sunomono.

    GENERALIZED REVIEW:…read more Came here with a friend from theatre after a full run--he had this place recommended to him by another theatre friend, so we're just passing on the word. The plaza was a bit confusing to navigate, and I'm pretty sure if the place weren't full of Asian parents and their kids, it would've felt like the shadiest place ever because you have to enter from the back. Otherwise, the plaza had a lot of great-looking stores overall. My first go-to: I've loved drinking Kirin Light ever since I discovered it in Chicago. The flavor is literally so light, with a slight acidity that brightens up my meal. The sake here was frankly also delicious. I didn't order it, but my friend did, and they had it warmed. The flavor was soothing and subtle, almost like tea. It was exceptionally easy to drink, and the ocean-themed ceramicware was a beautiful touch. We ordered two rolls: the Shaggy Dog and the Truffalufagus (a fun tongue-twister). I personally chose the Truffalufagus (which is not fun to spell) because it seemed like the most unique dish on the menu, and I enjoyed it very much. What I liked most about it was that it was subtle yet impactful. I also loved the textures--from the internal crunch paired with the fresh jalapeño to the softness of the fish. I'm glad I gave this roll a shot, and I would be excited to try it again anytime. The Shaggy Dog was great, but it appealed less to my flavor profile. It was a little too rich and creamy for me. I recommended this place to my BF as a potential future date spot--I personally think he would like it... if he weren't the type to enjoy AYCE sushi so much. If they had more unique rolls, I would definitely come back just for those. I was tempted to order the Surf and Turf for this round, but I didn't want to seem like a glutton, hahaha.
