Our daughter wanted to visit Sushi Masa to celebrate her birthday this year. Okay, no problem, we'll go for lunch with a group of six (one of which is a kid). Let's start with the food... the AYCE sushi option includes several items other than sushi. Things like gyoza, fried rice, teriyaki chicken, fish, or vegetables, tempura, miso soup, etc. The big bonus is that the meal also includes a soft drink and ice cream for dessert. At $20.95 this seems like a great deal. There certainly aren't endless options to the sushi, no spider roll or cowboy roll at lunch time. Also, no beef teriyaki or tonkatsu. But I don't think complaining is valid based on the price. The place is decorated with Japanese style artwork on the walls. It's pretty clean for as busy as it is. And the hosts are good about greeting patrons upon entry. The server was okay. Drinks went dry a few times and ordering additional food was delayed here and there, but they were pleasant and when present they got the job done. My only comment about questionable process is this... like many other establishments, parties of six or more are charged an automatic 18% gratuity. This isn't the issue, the tip was on the bill, the server didn't mention anything. Ok fine, the notice is on the menu. Bet when the credit card slip came for signature, a tip was requested on the slip, with recommended amounts provided. No mention was made that the tip was included on the bill. A lot of folks might unknowingly "DOUBLE TIP." I think it's good practice to mention that patrons can augment the tip if they wish, but remind them that the tip was included. Overall, the experience was pretty good. I imagine we'll be back at some point. read more

I ate here for lunch and All You Can Eat is $20.95. They a decent selection from appetizer, tempura, teriyaki entrees, fried rice, various sushi rolls, and more. Sodas are included with the price. For $20.95 AYCE is reasonable for lunch. This why I gave them four stars. Service was decent. She was very attentive. The dining room is clean and they have ample seating. It appears the have several location in Texas, Florida, and Louisiana. read more

Meh. Went there today at my daughter's request. The building looked abandoned from the outside. Inside is nice enough. It was pretty dead when we arrived around 5 pm on a Thursday. Not a big deal. Service was prompt and our server was very nice. Daughter got a spicy tuna roll and I got the Baby Tiger roll. Their tuna was all ground up. No solid pieces. Taste was ok. The chicken fried rice was really good. Overall, a forgettable experience as far as sushi restaurants go. If I had to put a label on this place, I'd say it's a budget sushi joint. Probably won't go back. read more

The food has defiantly taken a drop. It wasn't as good as it used to be... not sure if wako around the corner is putting the pressure on them but I probably won't be back... read more

It was hard to get orders placed as the server was too busy with too many tables. Also, even though I read in other reviews the sashimi was fresh and offered in large slices, that was not my experience at all. And, be aware that if you want a booth, a huge sign tells you to ask while you are adding your name to the wait list, and even after doing so and waiting 30 minutes, I still only received a half booth. read more

Service was awesome (thanks, Jerome), and the sashimi pieces were a good size besides being delicious! I had the Rainbow roll, which was good. I recommend, especially the All You Can Eat option if you like to choose what you like. read more

We've actually been returning customers since 2023 almost monthly until January of this year. My husband got so sick on our last visit I doubt we will ever be back. He ended up in the hospital with a very severe bout of accute colitis caused by food poisoning or contaimination. Based on timing of a fast he was on there was nothing else in his system except what we ate there. After our trip to the ER, I looked up their inspections and saw the 17 violation report from around that time frame. Very disappointed. read more

This place is always so crowded and it's because the all you can eat deal is really well priced. The food is always good. The staff is always friendly. The restaurant is honestly pretty large and accommodating for seating of any kind. read more

We get the all you can eat sushi at lunch time. They have a great selection of different rolls to choose from. You can also get hot foods like gyoza, shumai, or noodle dishes included in the AYCE. Our family just sticks with the sushi, tempura and gyoza. Service was fast! This is our go to spot when we come to Pensecola. Great place to come with reasonable sushi prices! read more

Thank you so much Sushi Masa! We had the most amazing dinner last visit, the best one we have ever had to date, everything was Perfection :)... Thank you for fixing/updating the small issues with the sushi bar/kitchen. Everything was super fresh this time and we just love love love the Zac Roll!! We are now calling it the "Zac the Wizard roll" bc it disappears like magic its so yummy! Poof! haha. We love the giant shrimp on the end, it's like two little green magic shrimp wizard gnomes. We love chomping those. Chomp Chomp Haha. The cucumber salad, nigiri & sashimi, the little love nuggets of yellowtail, were all super fresh & professionally presented. Well done! Everything was just incredibly fabulous! The new finish out, lighting, new dishes, love the seashell ones, everything is so amazing, very clean & very romantic for date night! The new vibe is our jam jam-bony! I have now added you to my Hometown Favorites list, and my Hometown treasures list. Congrats! Will return soon. xoxo Queen of Pirate'cola approved! Highly recommend. read more

I visited this restaurant for an all-you-can-eat lunch for the first time. Because it was a public holiday, the place was very crowded and we waited about 40 minutes to be seated. After being shown to our table and given an explanation, we decided to go with the lunch all-you-can-eat option. The sushi was decent for an all-you-can-eat menu. However, the tempura was a bit disappointing. The "tempura" chicken and shrimp were actually breaded fried chicken and shrimp, more like fried chicken and shrimp fries than traditional tempura. When I asked the server about it, they said this is how tempura is served at this restaurant. The chicken was very tough and hard to eat. On the positive side, the eggplant tempura was very tasty and definitely the highlight of the meal. Overall, for $20, I'd say it was acceptable, though not outstanding. read more

A decent spot for hibachi and sushi rolls. The servers provided ample attention, in a typical diving setting. I've had better sushi, sure. But all in all, we enjoyed our visit and the kids are happy too - Win Win read more

Definitely gone downhill. Used to go about every month. Now it's once a year. After tonight, probably no more.

I really like the AYCE at Sushi Masa! My husband and I come here whenever we are in the mood for some sushi. The service is not bad. Sometime it gets busy so the orders get backed up, which is understandable. I'm okay with not getting one or two orders as long as they bring us our other orders. The server even check up on us if we got our orders or not and that is amazing because it can get really busy! I think the restaurant is nice and clean. Perfect for date night or dinner with friends who also love AYCE. I even brought my friend and her boyfriend when they came to stay with us for a few days. I am definitely going to keep coming back. I am also going to bring my brothers when they come visit. read more

The atmosphere here is great! The food is fantastic for the pricing. If you're a fan of sashimi (raw fish cuts w/o rice) then this place is for you! Although they don't take reservations, I do recommend planning ahead and calling in to check wait times during weekend hours. Would definitely recommend this spot over Wako Sushi! read more

Have eaten here numerous times before but we had AYCE Sunday February 2nd and most of our group got severe food poisoning! 4 out of 6 were throwing up and diarrhea all day and night. The 2 that did not get sick ate mostly tempura so the fish and sushi was contaminated!!! Used to love coming to eat there when we come to beach but after this not sure that I will ever be back! Hopefully it will be out of their system by tomorrow and will not need medical attention read more

Sushi Masa has the most efficient staff I've ever seen in my life. They have mastered the all-you-can-eat sushi deal. I'll be honest, the sushi is only fairly good, but this place does quantity over quality and they do it well. read more

Tried the place the first time and was sitting near the kitchen and overheard swearing. The manager was there at the register and out came the kitchen staff drunk or loaded! I know I worked the streets of Vegas and this employee was slurring his words saying over and over "I'm sorry for my profanity, I'm sorry for your scrutiny!" Over and over! The Mgr left and the idiot was still standing there and started asking me in his slurred speech "Will you accept my apology" over and over! I did not engage at all but motioned him back into the kitchen with a dismissive wave only to hear him back in the kitchen yell "F**k that Mother F**ker!" I went to the manager who said he'd have the GM call me. I wrote down my number, asked him to get my waitress and although I didn't eat my meal I tipped her because it wasn't her fault. Fast forward 4 hours I have a message from the young female GM offering me 50% off on my next dine in. That is unacceptable as well, I drove there, was insulted, left without eating my meal, tipped my waitress even though I didn't eat and I get offered 50%? It ain't Las Vegas folks and customer service is again lacking and they wonder why businesses go under! 50% is not how you make it right! read more

Alright, I too would be skeptical of all you can eat sushi places, but this experience impressed me so much. Get ready to be the fullest that you have ever been in your life. The food is yummy and the service was 10/10. Everything was prompt and efficient. We had a great time together celebrating our friend's birthday at this restaurant. read more

Visiting in the area and it was recommended to try Sushi Masa for All-you-can-eat sushi so that was an easy yes! Being that it is a Sunday night, we got seated right away. Our server was a nice attentive gentleman and kept checking up on us to place our orders. All our food came out in a decent amount of time and had good flavor. read more

I had the from the kitchen habichi and it came out cold. Sent it back for them to recook it but they decided to put it in the microwave which made the chicken tuff. I've been feeling sick all evening! Will not be going back! read more

Stopped in here today. They have an all you can eat for 20.95 that includes an appetizer a main course and dessert! But we had the appetizer and I got the little Tokyo roll, and double crunchy roll. Both were phenomenal. My wife had the I-10 roll and the 225 roll and both of those were amazing! Our waitress was very attentive and kept our drinks full . For the price you can't beat it in my opinion. Highly recommend trying this place out if you're in the Pensacola area! Very laid back atmosphere, although they are having an issue with the havoc it was a little chilly in there today but not unbearable with a jacket on. read more

It was pretty pathetic! I got the sushi boat for 2 which on the menu states, a Crunchy roll a Rainbow roll and 16 pieces of sushi at chefs choice. I'm thinking ok the two cheapest rolls on the menu listed so surely the chefs choice is going to be the wow factor. WRONG. The chefs choice was nigirizushi, simply the same fish already on the rainbow roll with a little rice on the bottom. Maybe reword the menu to not be so deceptive, while I understand that nigrizushi is indeed a type of sushi, I was expecting a few pieces of different rolls on the menu, you know something with impact. I'm completely disappointed and will not return which I'm sure they won't care anyway. read more

Nice place to eat. They offer an all you can eat dinner option for $30.95 which includes your first beer, sake or soft drink. There was a large selection to choose from. I was almost done when I noticed the right side of the menu. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of food. Everything was very good. My favorite of the night was the salmon skin hand roll. It came out hot and crispy. Next favorite was the scallop sashimi, very fresh. The portions are small, some are by the piece, but you can order as many pieces as you want. The service was fast, with most delivered to my table with in three minutes after ordering. I would be a regular if I lived in the area. read more

Stopped by Sushi Masa while in town visiting family. Our server Mateo was super friendly and attentive. The masa roll was delicious! Almost ordered a second but decided not to be too greedy. The hibachi was pretty standard but tasty; I got chicken and shrimp and my partner got the steak and scallop. All in all would definitely go back if in town. read more

We got sushi for take out and when I went to pick it up, the place was packed! People everywhere... So business is clearly booming. We got all the veggie sushi options. They were all really good. The eggplant was interesting-never had eggplant sushi before but I enjoyed it. I've had better sweet potato and avocado sushi but they were still good. We also got a dipping sauce to go with the sushi which I was a fan of. I was hoping the miso soup would have some tofu in it but it didn't. It was still good on a cold day though. Overall it was great and there's plenty of options! read more

The sushi was really bad. The taste and texture were off, and it was hard to enjoy any of the rolls we tried. I wouldn't recommend this place. The only good thing was the friendly and attentive service read more

We came when it wasn't packed so service was great. Loved the miso soup but we wished it was hotter! The sweet potato tempura was so good and I love how thinly sliced it is. The pepper tuna and tuna tataki pieces were alright considering the pieces they gave us were not cut right and chunky. The wasabi aioli on the pepper tuna was too much and I love wasabi. The salmon sushi pieces were good as well as the yellowtail. The rice was a little colder than I'd like though. Otherwise I'd come again because it's decent and will get you full. Price was $30 for AYCE! read more

We've only been once and that was one time too many. Yes, it's all you can eat but that's not enough to make up for their frequent health inspection violations. Would NOT recommend. read more

Always love coming here! Went for my little sister's birthday last night and everything was absolutely amazing.

The atmosphere was top tier might wanna do your research regarding hours because they do be busy but the food is amazing. Took my son here along with family for his 12th birthday he loves sushi and here you are able to get all you can eat sushi the variety of things to pick from is not to overwhelming and the food is really good and very fresh. If your not a big sushi fan they do have other thing on the menu to pick from and still very good combination fried rice is very delicious and a big enough serving enough to share the hibachi is also very very delicious and sushi is very fresh. I would recommend this to just about anyone. read more

On my first visit to Pensacola, Florida, I used the Yelp app to locate a nearby sushi restaurant. Sushi Masa came up as one of the nearby places and after reading some of the reviews, it looked like a fun place to try especially since they had and all you can eat lunch and dinner special. For only $17.95, we could choose from over dozens of appetizers, nigiri sushi, rolls, hand rolls, tempura, stir fry, and desserts. Upon arrival, we saw the parking lot area was full around the restaurant which meant they was busy, always a good sign! We walked in and told it would be a 30-minute wait for a table but I inquired about sitting at the bar and was told it was first-come first-serve seating. Fortunately after a couple of minutes there were seats available at the bar. Britain, the bartender, provided fast and friendly service. She kept checking on our drinks which we only had the included soft drinks, a diet dr. Pepper and a Diet Coke and checking on our food order. I really thought we had excellent service while sitting at the bar. Service was fast and the food selections were delivered promptly. As you can see from my many pictures, we tried four different kinds of rolls, a few different hand rolls, other appetizers like the salmon skin salad and snow crab salad, and even the green tea ice cream. The one thing I would avoid is the tempura oh, it was more like an ebi fry, a heavier thicker better not so light and fluffy like tempura. All of the servers will wearing masks and pretty good about it however, there seems to be no social distancing in the restaurant meaning it looks like the restaurant was at 100% capacity. Even worse, there were about six customers sitting in the entry waiting area sitting with no mask but maybe this is the normal for restaurants. Overall, a good dining experience. read more

Visiting from California, sushi masa was the best place SUSHI AYCE place I have had in a long time. As a matter of fact it was so good that I came back after the first day! My bf showed me this place when I was visiting and my expectations were not that high, but i could tell from the fact that this place was busy that it would be good. I love how you order whenever you want and as much as you want so you don't over order as opposed to filling out a paper sheet with rounds at other places. The salmon sashimi, white tuna sashimi, and yellowtail was definitely my favorite fish. Merrin was our server on the first night and even though she was really busy she still came thru! Although this definitely wasn't a perfect experience, the price and value definitely makes up for the shortcomings, 31$ for dinner with a soft drink OR Sake/domestic beer is crazy to me. One thing I'll say though that I found weird was that they only offer military discount Monday-thurs. read more

Sushi Masa - my place of worship - Sushi Bars Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

I've been going to this location for 5 years and the quality of the food has consistently gone down hill. I'm not the kind of person to write reviews but I feel like after this past experience I need to. Service was great. However, when my lunch chicken hibachi came out, I noticed a clump of hair in the veggies. I work in the service industry and understand that a hair in food happens every now and then. Not a big deal. But a clump of hair?? Really not sure how that could have possibly happened. I let my server know and he was very apologetic and offered to get it remade for me. No thanks, I had absolutely no appetite after. He left the plate on my table (while looking for a manager I assume) and came back a few minutes later with my bill, which had my edamame and soda on it, with a discount. Very surprised a manager didn't come over and apologize or even stop by to say anything. I'm bummed to say it but I really don't think I will be returning. Can't stomach the thought of clumps of hair possibly being in my food. read more
