★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Masu is about as good as Japanese gets for Auckland but if I’m really honest it’s probably overpriced for what it is. That being said, they do some nice fusion that’s unique to Masu and the service is great. It’s not a place I regularly frequent because I know of other establishments in Auckland that are just as good for half 1/3 the price but it’s still a nice treat from time to time.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fantastic staff/service, the food was amazing with fantastic flavour choices. We thought the beverage pairing was spot on and a little out of our usual box, which we loved. The team went above and beyond to make the night special, thank you!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This was an amazing way to spend Christmas Eve! We were able to talk and enjoy the freshest sashimi and plates! We ordered 2 dozen oysters and thought that would be enough but they had the most beautiful flavour and we needed to order more! Beautiful food, friendly caring staff and beautiful atmosphere- Thank you

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Had the pleasure of coming here for a team dinner and it was very good. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere and service was exceptional. The food, while delicious, didn't impress me.
I ordered the pork belly as a main along with a side of rice and miso soup. The pork belly was very tender, but also a bit too salty by itself. The rice was a bit dry and not fluffy enough. Miso soup was also too salty. While these are nothing more than nitpickings, it's fair to expect the food to taste better than your average food joint when the price is more than doubled.
Overall, it was still a good experience and I wouldn't mind coming back again to give it another try. It's also one of the few, or maybe the only one restaurant, that serves real wagyu beef.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great restaurant, great service and great food.
Upon arriving at Masu, we were seated at the bar where we could order our drinks and look at the menu as our table was getting ready.
We decided to get the degustation Masu Shook meal, which was a fantastic tasting of the selection available at Masu. We also added the king crab leg as it looked amazing in photos.
The first three courses which consisted of their raw fresh seafood were divine. There were so many complex flavours in the taco and the maki roll which I really enjoyed. The veggie tempura was executed perfectly. The gyoza along with the sauce packed a punch and it was something I had not experienced elsewhere before. The teriyaki salmon was perfectly cooked, and the sauce was not overbearing.
Our last main course we had the lamb cutlet and kumara was probably our least favourite, while I found my lamb good my partner found his a little over. One half of our kumara however, was really undercooked in the middle and so had a unpleasant texture and bite to it.
The king crab leg was absolutely delicious, it looks stunning visually. The meat is quite easy to get out of the leg and the smoked wasabi like butter that accompanies it is delicious.
Overall it was a pleasant experience with the exceptional seafood being where Masu shines brightest. Will definitely be back again.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Had a fantastic time celebrating my wife's birthday. Ordered the Tokyo platter which did not disappoint. Presented in a gigantic oyster shell layered with generous layers of fresh, delicious sashimi. Highly recommended for both quality of the food, ambience and service.
