Masu Japanese Bistro: Reviews & Ratings
Very good Japanese food in Bay Area!Downtown Saratoga.the decor was beautiful! We will be back again soon
Really good tasty sushi, good portions and good packaging! I enjoyed this order through doordash
My family and I have been eating here for years. This place is great. I also have taken work colleagues here for many years. Our Thai friend loves it too. I was surprised to see it rated a three star. So I read some of the low reviews. Typical Silicon Valley cases of boorishness and entitlement. They read like a bunch of Karen's male and female. We love this place. Our son loves their teriyaki chicken. My wife loves their sushi. It's really some of the best I've had. Also as you consider reading or writing a negative review about this place: keep in mind that's it is an excellent family run bistro. It is not a Michelin Star restaurant. Nor does it pretend to be. It's just really good with affordable prices especially at lunch time. Please consider this, we are locals and we eat here all the time. We also own an AirBnB business and a farm stay in the area. We refer our customers here all the time and it's in our guestbook and on our app and website. If Masu were not superb or just meh, we wouldn't do that. They also have a beautiful Al fresco dining area outside. A rarity in this town. The food and service here have always been top notch.
I ordered the Philly roll & the Yum Yum Yummy roll. So delicious! It was a very seamless pick-up order & the staff was super friendly and polite. The restaurant is clean & quiet. Was a great lunch, I'll definitely go again.
very saratogaesque area for sushi disclaimer: its hard to hit YOUR fav sushi spot during the 'rona' times. ....luckily, this place was close enough to get sushi and sit and enjoy a meal with my family sitting and ordering off the menu is accordingly im already feeling redundant in this review so lemme jus break it down as real as i can get... the food here is not the greatest but i gues its a local enjoyment for some. distance seating is bleh outside but it sorta goes with the small town feel
