We went here for a girls night out and it was amazing. The food was fresh and delicious. The server was knowledgeable about the menu and customer friendly. We loved it and will come back!! Our favorite was the Kani salad, got it twice!!

Started with 5 stars but the lobster roll was too big that it didn’t fit in a big bite, the lobster flavor was missing and over powered by a sweet lettuce; very refreshing though. The service was quick but no utensils, just one paper napkin. The seafood ramen was delicious with coconut flavor and the egg was to the perfection and very tasty. The squid salad was perfectly al dente and juicy, the yellowtail carpaccio was good.

Wow! What an amazing place for real sushi! Everything is so authentic, having visited Japan I have to say this place comes very close to ramen places you will find all over Japan. There is also run by Japanese and when I went the customers were all Japanese. This is a great sign that they are serving authentic food. We got ramen and some tempura sushi. The food was so fresh and so good. For those of you eating raw fish, the fish I saw looked really clean and very fresh. I would advise u get the sushi here. The ramen had a deep rich taste and this place should be rated 5 stars. Trust me and go get some sushi at this place.

Was told to visit Masa from a friend and I am so glad that I did! Upon walking in I was the only one there and there were tons of open seating throughout the restaurant and next to the sushi bar. I took advantage of their lunch special that was two rolls for $18. I got their salmon cucumber roll and Philadelphia roll. Both were okay, but I wish the salmon cucumber roll would’ve had more flavor, but the eel sauce did help!

I’m so happy to have this Japanese restaurant in Cary! We enjoyed the noodles, tempura veggies, chicken, miso soup, and soda! We’re excited to return for the sushi and more delicious noodles.

The sushi is delicious! I’ve been looking for a sushi place in Apex and this one was top notch. The sushi itself was perfectly made, not too big of rolls and the ingredients were fresh.

It was a Wed evening and the restaurant was pretty empty when we arrived (6:45PM). We were seated right away and given menus. Waited about 5 minutes and no greeting from a server or any water service provided. After about 15 minutes I had to ask for a server. There were 3 working and about 9 guests total in the restaurant. Once we were assigned a server we placed our orders and got Ramen and 1 Specialty Roll. Food came out fairly quick. Mom said her Udon was meh and I really enjoyed my chicken ramen. The roll was so so. For a mom and pop this place is super pricey!! I’d rather have spent the money at somewhere like M sushi. The service was sub par and the ambiance was OK. Would I come back? I’m not sure.

I went with my girlfriends to the place and we had a good time there. There were plenty of vegetarian options to try. Service was quick and good. Environment was quite chill and happening. We liked the place very much.

Ever since I got back from my vacation to Japan, I have been searching for ramen that could match up with what I had there. At Masa I think I finally found it! Every aspect of the ramen was simple amazing, the broth, the meat, the greens, all of it were a 10/10
