Masa has grown to be a very pleasing place to go for a la carte and AYCE. I’ve since taken over 10 people there and they’ve loved the food! At the beginning, the service was a little meh, but they’ve since stepped up a lot. The last experience I had with the take-out and staff was certainly displeasing but the staff I’ve been helped by are really pleasant and courteous. I ordered take-out again today and the order was done promptly and tastes awesome as always. The girl that took my order and cashed me out today was very pleasant. I’m happy they’ve stepped up their customer service.

Great place to go for sushi, the fish is always fresh and brought to the table fast. The service is great, always on top of the orders, and filling up your drinks. Very affordable dinner date for Vaughan sushi

Always good — no complaints! And for the non-sushi people, the cooked food is awesome too!

I work a 5 minute drive from here. I order over the phone every now and then for pick-up. I get about 16 pieces of rolls for 7.90 cash. Service is quick especially when you just want to be in, out and back to the office!

Best sushi!!! This place offers the same if not better service and sushi in Woodbridge/Vaughan. It’s slightly cheaper if you pay with cash I always get the lunch all you can eat and it’s worth it!!! $ 15($ 20 with tip) Good place!!!

We decided to try this place a few weekends ago and food wise I cannot complain. While the food is good, the service is good too. Why the 2 stars then? The interior is very very dated and disappointing. This area of Woodbridge is full of new homes. Everywhere you go, commercial retail or restaurants they are brand new with latest décor, dishes, platters etc. You eat with your eyes first, then your tongue. If the food arrives on a round plastic plate at a sushi place you’ve successfully killed my appetite in a heartbeat. Also the view from the both we were seated in didn’t help– it was a mop and broom out in the open next to a cash register. Please. I know this place is old but the least you can do is clean and organize. I wanted to leave as soon as I was done eating and for an AYCE sushi place we didn’t order much. Everything was coming together to kill out appetites. Will not return.

Fresh, delicious and well presented sushi. Good service. Restaurant is run down and patched up in places, but good experience for the price.

Best sushi we have had in awhile. They even let us have the Jays game on! It was very fresh sushi, did not all come at once. Really great. I would come back for sure. Nothing bad to say. Nice atmosphere with the music as well.

I came here with my friend today for all you can eat lunch. We don’t love all you can eat as we find the quality is much better when it’s not, but we were really hungry and talked about doing this for a while. Originally, we had our hearts set on trying kaka in Markham which recently opened but we found out they didn’t do AYCE lunch. We were at Vaughan Mills so we were just gonna head east to Yoshiko at Bathurst and Steeles(my personal fave) but decided to give a new local place a try :) — big regret! I was kind of unimpressed right off the bat from the menu, I know AYCE lunch menus have less on them than dinner but I just felt like it was lacking something! Very limited side dishes. They did have red tuna rolls though which I haven’t seen on many all you can eat lunch menus. Normally when I go for sushi I order a ridiculous amount of food because I just want everything. In this case, there were only a few things I was even willing to eat. The miso soup came first, watered down! So was the thousand island dressing they used in their green salad. My friend ordered a nestea(which costed $ 1.50 extra) we saw the nestea cans but made bets that they’d bring it in a cup– bingo! They did, and it was watered down. He asked for an actual can and the waitress just walked away to get it, didn’t even reply– busted! I ended up sipping on his watered down drink for the rest of the meal. The rolls were nothing to write home about– I consider myself a dynamite roll connoisseur and this one had the most miniscule amount of shrimp I’ve ever seen, the spicy tuna was meh, and the California was meh. My friend really didn’t like his sushi pizza and I wasn’t crazy about my beef teriyaki– too thick pieces and very peppery! Oh and the best part, he tried to order spicy chicken– it was literally chicken pieces cut up and soaked in like Sriracha, totally could have made that at home and saved myself $ 15 lol! At the end we decided to wash down our joke of a meal with ice cream but realized they didn’t even have dessert on the lunch menu!(it was one of those check off menus) my friend asked the waitress about it and she handed him a small check off menu– all I could think was what the hell, if he didn’t ask they would not have offered this– then I thought of all the poor people who never got any dessert with their lunch because they didn’t think to ask! The dessert is the only thing I give them props for because they brought the ice cream and fried banana ATTHESAMETIME! Bless. I really feel bad writing bad reviews but I’m about to get to the best part. The bills came and my friend and I both had a charge for pop on our bills even though he was the only one that ordered one. They tried to charge me for sipping on his watered down mess! No thank you! They tried to argue it but there was no way in hell I was paying for that– heck if I wanted to order a pop I’d take a diet coke over Nestea anyway! I usually am very generous with tips but didn’t tip amazingly for obvious reasons. Will NOT go back. Anyone who gave 5 stars either had a completely different experience or does not go for sushi and appreciate it nearly as much as me! Me and my boyfriend’s one year anniversary is coming up and we’re planning on going for fancy expensive sushi downtown to celebrate, it will be like a vacation compared to Masa! The only reason I gave a second star is for the tuna and ice cream!

Came here for AYCE and wasn’t really impressed. The sushi didn’t seem too fresh, and it didn’t have a dab of wasabi between the fish and rice as usual for the nigiri. I also wouldn’t recommend any of the deep fried rolls. My friends loved the squid sashimi here though.

Well I live in Chicago, so let me tell you, there’s nothing like this in Chicago. Chicago, a city for having a wealth of amazing food. Still nothing like it. Therefore, every time I come to Toronto(where I was born), I put this on my checklist. I come here with my family, the service is decent, the food is unreal, and if you come very hungry, its all YOU can eat! I think they underestimate to power of hunger sometimes, or just me and my family because they«can’t count right» every once in awhile. However, guess what, its all YOU can eat. Just order more. :)

Thanks to a coworker, this place has turned into my go-to sushi resto in Vaughan for both pick up and dine in. The staff here really appreciate the value in time and don’t mind if you’re there to lounge around for a couple hours, get in and out for an hour away from work or pick up an order which was promised to be ready in 15 minutes. They host a world of unique flavours such as the peanut roll(avocado & peanut), the ABC roll(avocado/banana/cream cheese), Weston roll, maple roll, summer miss roll, etc. They are all so good! My favourites are the Alaska roll, the pink lady roll and their sashimi. Masa has really improved the size of their sashimi cuts too — nice and thick! The price is decent and although some items don’t quite make it to your table, they have no problem giving you another sheet to fill out and to order from. You’re best to confirm whether or not more is coming and ask for a page accordingly. It’s really not that big of a deal when you think about it… The reason why I’m giving this restaurant 5 stars is because they remember their customers. My friend Christina R is gluten free and has to use a different soya sauce then the one they serve. Every time we visit, they whip out her personal soya sauce bottle and bring it to the table before a hello is even exchanged. They are that good!

I visit this location frequently on my lunch. They are very fast and the food is consistent. I eat a lot of the vegetarian options off the menu so I appreciate the variety. A couple of unique veggie rolls here: ABC(avocado/banana/cream cheese) and Avocado Peanut(avocado/peanuts). An acquired taste but they are good. The only negative comment I have is that if you are doing AYCE here, it is rare to receive all the food you ordered. I come here knowing I am getting the food I want, but I will have to follow up to make sure I receive everything. Can be a little annoying if on a time crunch… Not to mention, you should just get what you order. But still, I love this place and will continue to go back. Takeout Special: 55% off if paying cash. Love this!

First visit last night. Restaurant is small but nicely decorated. We were seated immediately and given paper menus. It took about 5 minutes for the server to come over and get our drink order and than another 5 minutes to bring them. I was a little disappointed with this. But after that everything was flawless. We ordered the food and it came quickly. Everything was delicious. The seaweed was fresh and the sushi was well prepared. The tempura was made perfectly. The veggies were fresh. The fish was fresh. The service and servers were polite and accommodating. For two all you can eat meals and 2 sodas the bill was 40 $, which is typical for an AYCE establishment. All in all i was happy with everything and will definitely be returning in the future.

I come here every so often with friends to get a quick sushi lunch fix, however that is all. I will never come here for dinner or for any other occasion. Service is terrible, although we write everything down in the menu they give us, we receive only half of what was asked. They’ll mix up our orders with another table more than once. I was watching one of the waitresses as they had food in their hands, and they looked so lost as to where the food was supposed to be served. Honestly if you do plan to come here, just come for some quick sushi and that’s it, otherwise don’t waste your time.

No frills, basic AYCE Sushi joint. Menu is not as extensive as other All You Can Eat sushi places. The décor is very plain with no decoration style whatsoever. Put anything on the wall and drop in some tables type of place. The sushi menu is extensive in the rolls department. They copied some of the rolls from 168 Sushi. There are a few cool rolls in there that are recipes from the chef himself. The service is border line rude, They keep asking if you are finished after the 2nd ordering. Finally the price is that of a higher end place. Take my advice. Go to 168 Sushi or Spoon and Fork. Way better, larger selection, great ambiance for the same price. By the way, their« Unilocal 10%Special» is full of it. There is a big sign that if you pay cash you save 10%. When asking about the Unilocal special, it is only for cash payers. Save your money. Go elsewhere.

I think this is a great AYCE sushi place. The servers are always so nice and so sweet with our toddler son. The food is fresh and consistent, with a good variety of things to choose from. I love the pink lady roll, which has tons of salmon! Sushi & rolls are very good, «pizzas» are served hot, not cold like alot of other places. Tempura is fresh, piping hot, and crisp. They also have tasty dumplings, rice and meat dishes. Masa is definitely a great bang for your buck.

There’s only a few weeks to go before I can have real real real sushi, with raw fish, but that didn’t stop me from coming here with a few coworkers for lunch. First things first, it’s super affordable. At $ 12.95 per person for AYCE lunch, it’s a steal. I didn’t see sashimi on the menu or lunch, only sushi. I had the veggie sushi pizza(topped with avocado), yum. The gyozas were tasty, the rolls were excellent and not made entirely of rice, which happens a lot at AYCE places. The fish looked fresh, one table ordered a massive plate of just salmon sushi. I was jealous. It was still tasty and offered very good value.

After reading Tasha’s raving review, I have now been to Masa twice. It’s a regular AYCE sushi restaurant that’s hidden in an outdoor plaza. The food here is really good and the sushi is very fresh. I really like their salmon and butterfish sushi. The handrolls are also excellent, as well as the shrimp tempura. The edamame is really good too. The rolls are nothing special. Lunch does not include sashimi, but it does include ice cream. For $ 13 + tax and tip, Masa Sushi is a really good deal.
