Masa Japanese Restaurant Bar - Auckland

If I could give more stars I would. Everything was just outstanding! The waiting staff were so genuinely friendly and so warm. It was nice to see this was a real family place as well! The food. Omg. The eggplant with cheese so good!! The toro nigiri was beyond. But then the A5 wagyu came (we had it sukiyaki style): it was hard to know where the sauce ended and beef began. After having Kobe beef in Kobe I thought I’d have to go back to Japan to experience it again but I’m so glad we have a place right here!! Finished off with the prawn tempura which again was just so delicious and so beautifully presented!Thank you so much for a memorable night!

Set dinner is worth to try, between $40-$50. Grill squid and fry small fish very yummy. Homemade brownie is unexpected tasty, special recipe and not very sweet, with heaps of nuts make it smell so yumm. Strongly recommended

Sashimi is fresh! The presentation is great. The small dishes with octopus in the dinner set tasted surprisingly nice. They give us a slice of matcha red bean roll cake for free, which also taste really nice!

Got the eel, sashimi platter and fried tofu. Sashimi platter looked great and with a very generous amount. Eel was a tad a tad strangely sour. Tofu wasn’t that great with a different fried coating. Authentic Japanese food.

A tad expensive eg corkage for 1 glass $10 and other meals more expensive than nearby Japanese but beautifully served by a lovely waitress who had no problem explaining the menu and what we were going to have when we ordered. A bi annual visit here because of the price.
