Sushi-Masa Japanese Restaurant: Delight in Authentic Sushi and Japanese Cuisine

I came across this restaurant while getting ready to head home (I don't live in the Greenville area) and I stopped in to pick up a quick bite to eat while on my way. I'm so glad I did! The service was out of this world and the staff was so friendly! I wish I'd had time for a sit-down meal but I'll be sure to make time during my next visit. Looking forward to trying more of their menu and seeing what's up with some of those sushi selections. I wish them well and hope they continue to prosper!

If you’re even remotely serious about sushi, Sushi Masa needs to be on your list. As someone who eats sushi at least once a month and who has been to Japan, I don’t say this lightly: this place is phenomenal. The fish tastes incredibly fresh, clean, and buttery in a way that immediately reminds you what sushi is supposed to be. There’s no hiding behind heavy sauces or overloaded specialty rolls. Just simple rolls done right. Excellent rice, perfectly seasoned and textured, paired with high-quality fish. That simplicity is what makes it special. When the fundamentals are that good, you don’t need anything else. We actually lucked out getting in. We didn’t have a reservation (rookie mistake), but someone had just canceled and we were able to grab their spot. After eating there, I completely understand why you should probably make a reservation. The staff made the entire experience even better. Everyone was kind, welcoming, and genuinely friendly. You can tell they care about what they’re serving and about the experience they’re creating. The atmosphere inside is calm and warm. It’s a semi-small spot, which adds to the charm. Even though it’s intimate, it never felt cramped, and we could comfortably have a conversation at our table without shouting over noise. This is officially my new go-to sushi spot. I already can’t wait to go back and work my way through more of their menu. If you appreciate simple, authentic sushi made with care and quality ingredients, Sushi Masa is an absolute must-go.

This was our first time having such authentic Japanese ramen in the U.S. The staff were very friendly and made our family dinner feel truly enjoyable. If you like fried food, I highly recommend the vegetable tempura!

Authentic flavors, very friendly staff, delicious and affordable! My boss recommended this hole-in-the-wall sushi restaurant, and we were not disappointed. The sushi was fresh, the portions were large, and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. My 6 year old wanted chicken nuggets, so they made him a chicken tempura bento box. Highly recommend!

This is the best sushi place in Greenville, hands down. It’s authentic, and the food is fantastic!!

This is one of the best sushi places in the USA. I've lived in San Francisco, New York City and Los Angeles. I've been to all the Japan towns and little Tokyo's. This place is among the very best. This place is super authentic, and the staff is really good. A little slice of Japan in Dixie.

After nearly 10 years in Greenville, this may be my new favorite sushi restaurant! The wait staff is very kind and prompt, the chefs deliver high quality fish, and the ambiance feels like that of Japan. All at an affordable price. The sushi masa roll was very refreshing and enjoyable with lots of avocado and masago on top of the great fish trio. The barbeque eel in sweet honeymoon roll is very rich in super savory flavor. My favorite, the dynamite roll, blew me away. Such a simple roll but with so much flavor. The best part is that the sushi fish is left in big pieces rather than being minced. I can't wait to go back and continue sampling the phenomenal food!

This is a cozy and peaceful place with the best, authentic Japanese fare and gentle, soothing traditional Japanese music. Their sushi and sashimi are very high quality. If you have an affinity for sushi or other Japanese dishes, you must try Sushi Masa!
