Bar Masa

Some of the highlights for me included -- Caspian osetra caviar toro with toast , truffle sushi , a5 wagyu with truffles , and truffle ice cream . Also they get their crepe cakes from Lady M 👍

After eating at Sukiyabashi Jiro, Sushi Mizutani, and Sushi Yoshitake, Nobu Malibu and a few other well known places in Japan, Masa is still my favorite sushi restaurant in New York

Will probably be the most expensive meal of your life but the omakase is to die for here. Toro tartare topped with caviar , uni risotto w truffle and truffled wagyu beef add-on were def the highlights

The best Japanese food and experience handsdown for me！And, one of the best restaurants I have ever been to！Up there with Plaza Athenee in Paris and Per Se in New York！

Takayama prepares each perfect bite-size gift , then places it in front of you on a round slate; you almost eat out of his hands, and the sushi seems to melt in your mouth. Read more

Well deserving of its three Michelin stars , you'll be hard-pressed to find any sushi that can top Masa's. While it's extremely expensive , you're paying for an unforgettable culinary journey.

It's great for any aspect! Just pricy ... but it's great for someone who can afford or don't care the price if it excellent dishes. I wish I can go there seasonal....

Phenomenal sushi . They don't prepare in front of you so no real benefit from sitting at the bar . Super pricey but worth it for sure.

Surrender your wallet to Bar Masa and order your favorites from the $400 prix-fixe omakase a la carte. Favorites include duck tacos , torchon of Kobe beef with foie gras and scallop-shrimp ceviche . Read more

Fabulous in every way the sushi masters are great and chef Masa was cooking as well ... loves this place and worth every $

MASA NOT MasaBar-Amazing experience. Sushi/Sashimi&Blk truffle&more blk truffle+Caviar. LOVE!!Start w/glass of Krug&continue w/sake. Def go for the supplement of barely seared beef w/BLK TRUFFLES.

The famed sea urchin risotto , Ohmi beef w/t ruffles, & toro caviar are even better than they sound. Sushi is sublime. – Green Guide Editor

Aside from amazing sashimi the cocktails are to DIE for. Don't miss the Strawberry Martini with fresh pressed fruit and St Germaine or the Blueberry sour with cassis and fresh berries !

Looking for exceptional sushi ? Take a seat in front of sushi master Masa Takayama . who presents each piece like a work of art . But this extraordinary meal will cost you: $400 per person. Before tip.

This is one of those places that if you can go, GO! Try to get a seat at the bar . WARNING: You will probably never be able to enjoy sushi quite the same way after experiencing Masa!

Misocreme bruele & cocoa & black sesame ice cream . Yummiest a must get....the entrees &the sushi is mild & sutle....a must if u are around.

“Masa Takayama , if preparing the food himself, is one of the few world masters you can still watch, eye to eye, make your dinner .” - Anthony Bourdain Read more

Try Toro tartare with caviar , Striped Jack nigiri & Yuzu sorbet

Minimal decor showcases the bright flavors and impeccable quality of Chef Takayama's sushi offerings. Be warned, the space is small; only 16 seats at tables, plus 10 more at the bar to watch him work.

Incredible Omakase . Came for birthday dinner prepared by Chef Masa himself. Beautiful and a true event !

The swanky Time Warner Center setting in Columbus Circle and elaborate omakase-only menu is accompanied by a high bar for entry: the price. At $450 per person before tip. Read more

The black truffle ice cream may change your life. For the better.

$595 per person. It’s an experience, more for those who have a very refined palate.

Pretty amazing food no doubt but also clearly overpriced. You're paying for brand and location overhead.

3. SAVE $$. NY's most expensive restaurant has got your back. Dishes like fried blow fish & white truffles are served omakase style, meaning "leave it to the chef ." Go big and go broke. Read more

“Better sushi than in Tokyo…pricy, but good.” – Anthony Bourdain .

Everything

Go for lunch to bar masa

Very very expensive ...not sure it's worth the price.But it definitely is an experience...

The only place in NYC where you can order sushi without sitting at the sushi bar .

Best omasake in the world

Try the tofu with ginger soy. A good value relative to other menu items and very, very tasty.

The buckwheat tea and pear for dessert is simple and sublime.
