Masago

I’d give it no stars if I could. Order from here when we don’t feel like driving for sushi. It’s mediocre at best. Had sushi delivered tonight. It was obviously rotten. We called. They offer 10% off our next order? No apologies… no «can we bring you something else». So we tell them we want our $ back for the food we didn’t eat. Driver shows up for food… no $. My husband is now driving for our $ 40 dollars. They could have easily remedied it by apologizing, refunding or offering replacement. We will never order from a place that would rather keep the $ 40 than customers. Enjoy the mediocrity if you order from there… hopefully it’s not rotten.

Per-​dollar, this is the best sushi you’re going to find in driving distance. The sushi here is actually very good. The number one factor for a good sushi place is turnover; Masago does that well. Can you get better sushi? Yes. Can you get cheaper sushi? Yes. For both, this is the place. I’ve been to lots of sushi restaurants where you can pay twice as much and get half the quality (I’m looking at you, entirety-​of-​RVC).
There’s a ton of variety and the price makes trying things very easy, which is great. Favorites include the Masago Sashimi Special, Naruto roll, Osaka Box, American Dream. I have had the rare issue with quality, nowhere close to being an issue for me. They also can be a bit heavy-​handed with the «crunch» (tempura flakes) in the spicy rolls, etc.
They’ve always delivered within the timeframe given, but on busy nights this is sometimes around an hour — they don’t take that long to deliver, instead the kitchen is overloaded. I usually try to pick up. The one time I did eat here it was fine; the restaurant is nicely decorated and comfortable, the service was adequate, it’s fine for date-​night, but not going to impress.
This is the first place I think of when deciding what to order for dinner.

I enjoyed this restaurant. I’m not much of a sushi fan. I had the chicken teriyaki box which contained rice, sushi, shrimp shumai and chicken teriyaki. All was tasty and good. The prices were very reasonable. I enjoyed the suishi even though I am not a sushi person. The servers were very good and helpful.

love the sushi here– i come here quite often and also have it delivered — the rolls are great — the six flags is my favorite– the prices are amazing — half price on everything

I almost didn’t go into this place because of the bad reviews but what a mistake that would have been. This place is delicious, the food is great and the price is spot on. Don’t be fooled by the bad reviews!

This used to be my go to take out joint. The last 4 – 5 times I’ve ordered from there they either got the order wrong or the sushi was not fresh. The last time I called for take out I found a hair in my food. I called them up and didn’t seem like they were surprised. I can get the message massago, you guys don’t sell the only rice in Japan. Found another joint that I’ve been very happy with.

I’ve been going to Masago twice month since they opened. The inside is modestly decorated so I feel like I can be casual when I go in. It’s nice inside. Don’t get me wrong. It’s clean and nicely decorated. The chairs are comfortable. The food is fresh and well prepared. The turn around time from the order is quick. The staff are attentive. I used to only order sushi and different rolls but now I’ve been ordering hot food too. Last night I had shrimp and chicken over fried noodles and veggies. Delish. I love the black rice they serve. It’s $ 1 extra but once you try it you will only want black rice from now on. Really nice relaxed place. Equally good for take-​out too. And they deliver. Thanks Masago. Great to have a nice quality local place to eat at.

Lets keep this simple: The sushi is 50% off.
NOW, It’s reasonable to think that this really isn’t a «deal» and rather, the sushi is of lower grade and therefore, the pricing is normal.
HOWEVER, I’ve been to a ton of sushi joints and to me, the sushi here is quite good and far cheaper than other sushi bars. So in this Jew’s book, that’s a win.

Great place to come for sushi. They have great half priced deals I would recommend anybody who enjoys sushi to give this place a shot.

Delicious sushi… the fish is super fresh and the rolls are of good size and quality… had a wonderful time while i was there and the staff was pretty cool as well. they explained everything like it was your first time eating aushi which was nice… i will definitely be going back for the sushi

Sushi is super cheap here!!! They give around 20−30% off everything on the bill. My gf and I went– one app, two salads, four rolls = $ 21… I don’t think you can really beat that. The fish is good quality too. 4 stars only because the service is a little slow. But other than that– can’t really beat the price!

Wonderful dinner with friends. Taste sooooooooo great. Fresh sashimi and very nice service～deserve 20mins drive

Ordered for delivery last night for the first time. I thought for the price I paid the food was delicious and fresh and the driver arrived almost exactly when they said he would. Kani salad was on point and their sushi rice was super yummy. Spicy Kani roll and Boston roll were very very good and the California roll has just the right crab to avocado ratio. Couldn’t order anything raw because I’m pregnant but I will def be ordering from here many more times in the future so im sure I’ll try it all! This place will be getting my business!
To answer your question Winnie, it was the first time ever.
Another successful delivery last nite! Food was great and fast. Whoever answers the phone is amazing– she was quick and not a single mistake made considering her speed. This is def my go to place for sushi from now on. Can’t wait to have this baby so I can eat the raw stuff!

Pretty decent food, very fresh. Nice sized portions. Very friendly staff, the order was exactly what I had asked for. I ordered ice cream, fully expecting it to be melted by the time I got to go eat it. I was extremely delighted to open the bag to find out they had wrapped ice cubes around it. Keeping the ice cream hard. Now that is customer service!

Reasons I love eating sushi here :
Great sushi rolls, some are super creative and tasty
Great prices, they’re discounted like 20−30% I think which lets you order more
Everything comes out in time even when I walk in and ask for something to go without calling ahead
Plus they usually have great specials
So not sure about the negative reviews before but I always enjoy the sushi here
Only thing I wish was better was the service, sometimes the male waiters aren’t as attentive and don’t seem too friendly. But the girls at the counter are always super friendly
So if they could have a friendly wait staff who’s more attentive they would be much better

Really enjoyed my lunch from them yesterday. I got the shrimp spicy roll and general tso chicken. Great meal. The sushi was half off too. The inside was really nice and the service was great. I didn’t know they deliver so I might have to take them up on that next time I visit my friend in oceanside.
I’d def come back. Everything was really fresh and tasted great.
Pricing was pretty good well worth it

#LunchFail I give up. Third try was not a charm. Not sure about dinner, but forget the «tax shelter special» cash only priced lunch. Too many other Asian fusion restaurants like Hoo King (excellent, and very close) or Wild Ginger RVC in close proximity with MUCH better service, and won’t $ 2 upcharge every little menu item change, and can actually prepare a decent bento box without making you wait 10 minutes for a glass of water.
Really.
Asked 4 times.
Language barrier?
There were only 2 other seated tables.
(Should have been my first hint)

Excellent! Not only is the food amazing and the employees so nice but they also deliver two towns over into the furthest part of Long Beach (the «west-​end»), ready at my door in all but 35 – 45 minutes!
Try the Angry Dragon, Painted Lady, and the Hadeed roll. All amazinggg! :D

Ok so we come here regularly and have a lot of feelings about it. Some of the appetizers and hot dishes are not superb… Mainly their «fancier» ones like duck dishes and ribs. Their dumplings and soups and other appetizers are very good. I love the tuna sushi pizza. Age tofu was delicious as well.
BUT we don’t come here for that. We come here for consistent quality sushi that’s so freakin cheap! Seriously at any other good sushi place if you wanna spend less than $ 7 on a roll all you can get is spicy tuna or a one fish/​avocado roll. Rolls that you need soy sauce to eat. That’s BS. We get super complex and creative and damn delicious signature rolls for $ 6 – 9 because of the constant 50% off. Six flags, Tuna amazing, spicy girl, hadeed, painted lady, spring jamie… Srsly I have yet to have a bad signature roll here and the price is frankly unbeatable.
Also you’ll always find parking.

This place is average… hence the 3 star A-​OK rating.
There’s nothing special about this sushi but you also can’t say that it’s bad. They advertise that everything is 50% off and I feel that this is a ploy to give the impression that they order high quality sushi and then give you a great value. Not the case… they just order sub par sushi and give you the price that it should be.
Not my favorite place to eat and nothing stands out but my sister likes it here… which has given me plenty of opportunities to eat here and I have never been impressed.
I would recommend this for beginners sushi because the price is low and it does give the vibe of sushi. Other than that, skip it. Also, good generic sushi for a party at which you have a lot of other food and just want to give a taste of sushi.
Also, service isn’t that great… they never come back!
