I was very happy with my experience at Masa NYC Hinoki Counter for $950 per person. You can get more detail at my youtube channel Noah Eats. This is not the Bar Masa location. This place down the hall from Bar Masa. This Masa is next to the another 3 Star Michelin Per Se. As opposed to the Blue Door at Thomas Kellers spot, Masa has a Blue Curtain signifying the are open and if located outside would provide shade. After you pass the curtain a Huge Cypress door guards whats inside. You are quickly acknowledged and locked into your bar height chairs. And you can put your elbows on the Inviting Hinoki Counter and you will find a block of ice to keep some ingredients chilled for service. Unfortunately there is a no photo policy so for my video review I had to tap my artistic side, so I hope you enjoy my youtube review. It’s definitely a bucket list item for most of the world. I hope you do enjoy my Channel, Noah Eats well!

I got the hinoki experience. Everything was amazing and, dare I say, perfect from taste to presentation. It was the best 3-Michelin meal that I had in NYC. The sushi was out of this world. The sake recommendation was on point. The no photo policy is a shame since everything was so pretty.

The quality of the food and the level of service were undeniably excellent. However, one very important issue significantly affected the overall experience.
Although the pricing at this restaurant already includes gratuity, this was never clearly explained or communicated to us in advance. As a result, we added an additional tip after the meal, which led to nearly $600 being paid in gratuity alone.
At this level of fine dining, clear disclosure about whether gratuity is included is essential, especially for international guests. This is not a minor detail and should be explicitly communicated before or during the dining experience.
The issue is not the price itself, but rather the lack of transparency, which ultimately left a disappointing impression.
For those considering a visit, I strongly recommend confirming the gratuity policy beforehand.

Sat at the counter. Incredible experience. Favorite dishes were:
1. Taro tartare with caviar. Every restaurant I’ve been to tries to upselm you caviar at exorbitant prices and then is stingy with it. Here it’s just part of the menu and it is an extremely generous portion, and paired with the best cut of tuna.
2. Omi wagyu and truffles. Omi is the best cut of the agyu called the emperors beef because it was saved for the emperor. But the emperor never had truffles on it. What. Surprisingly good combination.
3. The rest was a tasting menu of pieces of sushi and every one was really good.
4. The Japanese melon was special. Sometimes they have a strawberry. Either way it’s the same place that gives erewhon their $19 strawberry.
We skipped lunch to fully enjoy it but it wasn’t a crazy amount of food. Felt happily full after. If it’s your anniversary or birthday you get some lady M cake at the end, which was great. Otherwise the only dessert is the melon so you can even plan to go have dessert somewhere after if you didn’t want to have lady M.
Overall I feel like the innovativeness of the caviar and truffle dishes will be lost on more casual diners but those two make the price tag pretty worth it in my opinion.

Ultra-luxury omakase sushi experience near Columbus Circle with pristine fish and an intimate, serene counter seating. Service is impeccable and the chef’s choices feel like an art form. It’s extremely expensive, but for sushi enthusiasts, it’s one of those bucket-list meals that lives up to the hype.

We celebrated our anniversary at Masa Hinoki Counter. The food and service were both excellent, and the experience was very enjoyable overall, although I wasn’t able to eat as much as I would have liked. At times, the atmosphere was somewhat lively due to other guests, and I had hoped for a calmer, more reflective ambiance.

An extraordinary fine-dining experience and truly one of the most exclusive restaurants in New York. Every detail is executed with absolute precision, from the exceptional quality of the ingredients to the flawless service. The omakase experience is refined, elegant, and focused entirely on craftsmanship. While the price point is very high, the level of quality and attention makes it a memorable and unique culinary experience worth experiencing at least once.

Delicious food and cocktails. Service was extraordinary and very attentive. Restaurant on the smaller side, which led to a more intimate dining experience.
Only item I ordered that I didnt believe to be worth it was, sushi assortment for $110. Price doesn’t make sense for the small portion. All food noticeably very fresh and perfectly prepared.

Undeniably good sushi. But, Bar Masa proved to me that sushi quality can only rise so far, while the price can rise seemingly uncapped. The sushi is on par with a few other sushi spots in NYC. On a per dollar level of enjoyment, many other NYC sushi spots do better.
The restaurant was unexpectedly brisk on timing. They told us as we sat down we had only 90 minutes. (Had not mentioned when we called to make the reservation). They then relatively unceremoniously pushed us to leave the table 90.0 minutes after our reservation.
The sushi sampler had some great pieces. I would have preferred the role was something with fish rather than boring vegetables.
The duck tacos were great.

It was my first time visiting this restaurant, and I was fascinated by the impressive display and delightful taste. The highest quality ingredients and mesmerizing flavors, not to mention the top-notch service, made the experience unforgettable. I can’t wait to return to New York for another visit. I ordered the shabu with foie gras and Wagyu. Omg , I still vividly recall the taste lingering under my teeth. Additionally, the tuna with caviar, the makis, and king crab, the Udon, the duck tacos , the beef carpaccio with truffle and the miso code.
The dessert is another story.
