Masa (NYC) - My Best Sushi Meal

By ChuckEats Mar 31, 2008

How much would you pay for perfection? Conventional wisdom (mine included), among those who have eaten at both restaurants, says Urasawa (LA) is a better experience than Masa at one-half the price. It was a case of the student, Urasawa, surpassing the teacher, Masa. The Masa experience has been derided for its exorbitant price [...] FULL REVIEW

The Myth of Masa

By The Finicky Lawyer Aug 13, 2007

Chef Masayoshi Takayama Lunch Tuesday to Friday Dinner Monday to Saturday Tried: August 2007 After reading innumerable articles about 1) the magnificence of the cuisine, 2) the elegance of the sushi bar, 3) the freshness of the fish, 4) the personal touch of Chef Masa Takayama himself, and 5) the exorbitant price of the experience-- all of which are reverent to the point that it seems one needs to read them in hushed tones-- I was really looking forward to finally experiencing Masa for myself (even more than I generally look forward to eating at Komi...

Masa

By Gotham Gal Nov 08, 2006

We returned to Masa this week. It was just as incredible this time as it was last time. The simplicity of the fish and combinations in the first few courses are sublime. I won't go into many details since I did the first time I wrote about Masa but will just give a few highlights. FULL REVIEW

Massive Money

By ChuckEats Apr 05, 2006

I recently visted NY from SF. If there’s a world-class worthy sushi restaurant, I will try it. Often, these places are hidden, unknown, or simply prohibitive to the casual eater (in terms of accessibility or money.) Masa has been hyped as the end-all be-all of sashimi, sushi, and Japanese cuisine. FULL REVIEW

Masa 544 fanjrillians stars

By AugieLand Dec 21, 2005

When the going gets tough, boys from Jersey get going... to the mall. Like a siren's song, the attraction was overwhelming. Between the Christmas season and the transit strike, I was beckoned. Bear, Wife and I figured the transit strike might open up some otherwise hard-to-get tables; Masa seemed a good place to start. So right after work we made our way over to the mall and at 6:40 sat down to the Omakase menu in the 26-seat box that is Masa. FULL REVIEW

MASA

By Gotham Gal Mar 08, 2005

The question asked about MASA is generally the same. It is worth it? Is anything worth it? Could I have bought 2 pair of jeans instead or a really awesome top or dinner for 5 instead of one? The answer is yes but I would never have had the opportunity to experience MASA. So, the experience and the taste extravaganza was absolutely worthwhile. FULL REVIEW

The Idea of Extreme Dining Annoys Me

By Meg's Food & Wine Page Dec 29, 2004

Today I think the NY Times Dining section was conspiring to make us feel collectively disgusted. Whether it made one feel disgusted at oneself for not managing to pull in a Wall Street-sized bonus this year, or disgusted with the NYT food writers for conspicuously freeloading (themselves and their friends) on the newspaper budget, they had us all covered!
