    Masu Sushi has excellent sushi and great main plates. The fish is so fresh and delicious. Last night we enjoyed albacore with miso, so velvety and luscious. The yellowtail collar was outstanding. Not a dish we had before, we were surprised by how much fish there was and how delicious too.

    Everything was wonderful with the drinks, food and service. Only thing that was a bit of a disappointment with the food was that there were no sides with the burger. Also every time the front door opened all of us in the first few tables froze and we all wish the barrier would have been longer to block that so we could all enjoy our dinner and drinks more. Overall we loved it there and the staff was wonderful.
