"A three-star Japanese restaurant known for its exquisite sushi experience." - Melissa McCart
"A top-tier sushi restaurant holding three Michelin stars for its exquisite offerings." - Melissa McCart
"In even more deluxe and slightly befuddling news, Masa is offering to-go sushi boxes every Friday night for $800 a pop. There are only twenty available every week, and each one feeds up to the four people." - hannah albertine
"“Masa is the king. The price is very prohibitive, especially if you eat at the counter, but he’s the best Japanese chef that I know. Even in Japan, I haven’t found someone better than Masa. He has this kind of charisma, presence, and vision to create an experience customized for yourself. It's kind of a kaiseki experience, but he created dishes that didn't really exist before. He takes sushi rice, makes a tiny ball, then rolls it white truffle, and it looks like a snowball. It's gorgeous. When he makes sushi, the quality and temperature of the rice is unbelievable. In your hand, it holds together, but the minute it touches your tongue, it dissolves.”" - bryan kim
"Skip the sloppy sandwiches and grab a slow-cooked chicken, beef, or spinach and cheese empanada from La Casa de Masa, a vendor that also sells other Latin American grab-and-go snacks like arepas and elotes." - ByCathy Erway
