Kappo Masa

Great food! Quite expensive but very unique flavors and presentations. I recommend the rolls, kale frisee, toro tartare and caviar. The only dish we didn’t like was the steamed egg- strangely very rich and had a very unctuous, off aftertaste. Service and ambience were both excellent.

This place was amazing! Very expensive but very well worth the price. Definitely can't wait to go back to try other items I couldn't try during my last visit.

I was wandering around central park and stumbled across this place for a meal. It was such a wonderful experience. The staff was super friendly and attentive! It was all so delicious!

The beef was melting in the mouth instantaneously. The food is of good texture with delicate ingredients sprinkled. This is a highly recommended Japanese restaurant.

Great place for fine dining and the service is phenomenal! (Tip: They upkeep a clean but professional appearance, even while you are eating, so please do not be annoyed by that.) The food is delicious but the Miso soup is traditional Japanese, which may seem tasteless and watery but it goes down soothingly. It was all a little more expensive than my usual choice of venue but worth every penny 😁 The only weird thing for me was seeing only one Asian person in a Japanese restaurant 🤷🏾‍♂️ P.S. Try a slice of their Green Tea Crepe Cake 😋

Very disappointing experience. Paid for the full Omakase but only got maybe half of the pieces. It was a special occasion dinner so they brought out a candle at the end which was sweet. However, the candle was served with a small slice of pineapple on ice which looked cheap. After paying $700+ for barely 10 pieces of fish, receiving a candle stuck in a slice of pineapple was just embarrassing. The entire experience was not worth more than $100 and the atmosphere was not as expected. I do not recommend this place for a special occasion.

Update October 27. Food is not as fresh as it used to be. Sushi are mushy and they forgot my drink. The food arrived after 45minute one of the dish was so bad I had to send it back. I would not comeback anytime soon. It’s use to be a great restaurant not anymore RIP

Excellent food and service. The atmosphere was impressive! We enjoyed our experience and will be back.

The food here is amazing. The service is nice, a bit pretentious, but it comes with the territory. Ambiance is nice too. Always see local celebrities dining there. For the 1st time, it would help to come with a group (vs just 2) to try as many dishes as possible.

I visited Kappo Masa for my birthday and was very excited. The food was lovely, I loved the duck tacos and calamari which had hibiscus chips. I ordered a wide variety of sushi, which was good but not great. The service could have been a little better considering the waitress spilled the sake while serving and did not clean it up. They also failed to clear the plates before serving us the following courses. They also did not clean up in between any of the courses to ensure the table did not have any crumbs, etc. I was expecting excellency but the service was a solid B-.

Good food but when you consider prices it becomes sort of a glorified japanese food hall diner. However, if you are paying $3K/night at a nearby hotel, then this is right up your alley.

This restaurant has a mouse problem and leaves glue traps outside their back entrance on 76th street trying to prevent mice from coming in. They plaster them all over the sidewalk- today there was a bird stuck on the trap. Don't eat here - they have mice and are despicable humans. Calling board of health on them tomorrow. Side note: I was able to take the bird to the bird sanctuary on that west side and they were able to free him - he lost all his tail feathers but they think he'll make it.

My husband and I have been coming here for years to celebrate our Anniversaries and to treat ourselves on occasion with friends. The quality, service, ambiance and experience have been among the best that the city has to offer. That being said, this is not the case anymore. While the food and ambiance are still top tier, the service we experienced was quite frankly, the worst we have had at any restaurant to date. I hesitate to call out anyone directly, however, our server, Panyawut, made for a subpar experience, especially as we saw the noticeable difference in professionalism and attention from the other servers attending to guests near us. Not only were items missing from our order, but he also was inattentive and had a poor attitude towards us. It was not the fine dining experience that we have come to expect from Kappo Masa. I really hope management takes note of this as we are reconsidering returning based on this experience.

This restaurant is so overrated that the word "overrated" doesn't quite describe it. From the start, the waiter PUSHED AND PUSHED the entire table to order the tasting menu. At $350 a person--it's no wonder. He is tipped on the amount of the check--which, if he hadn't lied to us at every single turn and had the actual meal been good--it might have been an experience of a lifetime. However... First: I've had better sushi at my neighborhood all-you-can eat. This sushi was masqueraded in sauce and good pottery. The actual taste of ALL of the food was D minus at best. Most of it was inedible. The cooked fish was fishy and the raw was just bland. But the service was despicable. Second: one of our party (our host!) took us there as first timers to enjoy raw fish but she stated very clearly to the waiter that she was not into raw and if he could tailor her "tasting menu" to cooked, she would order the tasting menu, after she had told him that she was content to just order alla carte. He very vociferously told her that of course the chef could easily accommodate that request. But of 6 courses (such a rip off even for pricey upper east side nyc) only one was cooked for her. Third: At one point I asked "what is this?" when referring to a fish that I didn't recognize and was told "I'll tell you in a minute.." That minute never came. And it became crystal clear that the bottom line buck was front and center. Once the order was placed from a confusing pushy waiter, the dye was cast and the customer took a back seat. It was sell, sell, sell all night long. Fourth: the bill was $2400. Yep. Oh--and it was so loud you could not hear yourself think. Unbelievable really. Never again. Please do not go to this restaurant. They should not be in the restaurant business.

Everything about Kappo Masa is perfection. My husband and I came for omakase lunch and OH HOT DAMN was it good. Our chef, Jackie, was the man, as was our server Kim, and the manager, Rachel is fantastic. We even ft to meet the chef and he was great to chat with. When you come here you feel so taken care of. Also, take a look around, all the art is original, including a Picasso painting. Awesome. Anyway...back to the food. I couldn't get enough of it! The fish...the uni...the eel...the beef...everything was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. A special shoutout to the shrimp pasta, and an even more special shoutout to the roasted uni half shell. There have been very few times when I've eaten something that was so good it made me want to cry...the roasted uni was one of those things. Absolutely incredible. We also had the Lady M cake for dessert which was a great way to end one of the best meals of my life.

Simply the best! After a long hiatus a friend suggested that we meet here for dinner for her birthday. Everything was prepared, presented & tasted to perfection!

I came here for the Valentine's Day Omakase and it was the most overpriced, underwhelming meal I've ever had. Service was rushed, the sushi was not as good as Ise or other places at lower price points. The tuna tartare with caviar was an affront to high dining, the duck was over cooked and dry, and the ceviche with shaved truffle did not work at all. Nothing about the flavors felt like a hit and nothing meshed well. Coming here makes me question if it's even worth it to go to the original Masa if this is the quality to expect at the price point given.

Really good sushi and cooked dishes. Masa is a master. Everything is super fresh, top quality and unique.

The food was outstanding. Sushi was super fresh and delicious. The service was outstanding. The timing of each dish was perfection. I don't understand the complaints this is a 5/5 for me every day.

This might be my favorite of the Masa restaurants. It is the perfect blend of Japanese food and sushi. Discretely housed under a museum shop on Madison Ave, you can easily walk past it 100 times and never notice it was there. This is a true example of getting what you pay for. We had: - Beef Carpaccio with Truffles - Delicious, the beef was sliced perfectly with a generous helping of truffles. - Coconut Lobster Tacos - Wonderful combination and totally delicious - Beef Sukiyaki with Foie Gras and Poached Egg - Delectable, delicious beef with a bit of foie gras complimented by a poached egg. The broth was rich and delicious. - Assorted Sushi and Sashimi - Fresh and delicious, everything you would expect sushi from Masa to be. A lot of people have complained about the price, but honestly this is not as expensive as other restaurants in the Masa family or other sushi restaurants in general. It is up to the individual person to decide if "good food" is worth a high sticker price. If no food is worth a high price to you, then don't go to a Masa establishment because you are walking in negative and will never be satisfied. That being said, we can't wait to come back with our kids because there are menu items they would love!

Slurp! The sushi here is insane. Fresh and flavorful and delicious. Maybe Im just being emotional but Kappo Masa was life changing. The ambience is modern and chic. But the main attraction is the food. One has not experienced sushi until you've tried Kappo Masa. Just beware it does cost a pretty penny.

Returned to this restaurant because I don't like leaving bad reviews. Food was great, being treated like garbage was not. What do you have to do to get basic respect in this restaurant? Very rude hispanic waiter with glasses that worked the early shift. He took every opportunity to make me uncomfortable. Did not bring me(specifically me) a menu and only acknowledged the other people seated at my table. Had to verbally ask for a menu multiple times before getting one. Took everyone's order and briskly walked away as I asked to make my order known as well. Finally told him what I'd like to eat, was asked if I even knew I was ordering, what the fish was, how it was prepared. Came back to offer wines, desserts took everyone's order except mine. I gave my card for the bill and it was handed to someone else.

I went in a couple of days ago with some friends, and to say it was disappointing is an understatement. Most things were average, and some were downright bad. i ordered a toro hand roll, and after one bite, felt actually sick. The toro was in long fillets and was not easy to eat at all. The service was great, but the food was sub-par. And the prices were sky high to top it all off.

Really 3.5 stars, rounding up for the quality of the sushi and service. Very expensive but top grade sushi: The Uni and Toro box lunch was unbeatable. Tempura only so-so, and the sashimi lunch was quite good. Small portions so you won't get stuffed. A great sushi experience but very pricey, even for the UES.

This restaurant exists so the .0001% do not have to look at the little people while they eat sushi. The food is good but nothing special. It is absolutely not worth the money. The presentation is poor. The omakase is just one piece at a time sushi there is zero experience. The sake list is offensively overpriced. 6 times markup with nothing under $150 a bottle. Same for wine. The bartender is slow at getting cocktails out. Bottom line is this restaurant could not exist almost anywhere besides its current location. The clientele and proprietors are basically an Elizabeth warren campaign add.

Its actually between 3 and 4 starts. My friend who works at one of the gallery at upper east side recommended here for our lunch date. *Tip: The restaurant is located inside a gallery so you have to go inside the gallery and make a right.* The environment was really modern with the eye-catching flower blossoms at the center and comfortable lighting. It was nice sitting at the counter appreciating the delicate work of sushi making by the chef while waiting to be seated. The service here was of high quality. Coming in for a quick date during my friend's lunch break, we decided to go with the Bento. We had a Unagi bento ($38) and a shrimp and vege tempura bento (28). Although it was pretty pricy but I think the Unagi was one of the best Japanese grilled unagi (or to say the only one) I had found in NYC. The Unagi was grilled to perfection with the sauce blended into each part of the fish and dripping onto the rice. Tender, delicious, satisfying! For the tempura, I think it was pretty good too. The breading was thin and crispy which I liked! But it was just not that special. Standard. Overall, the environment was beautiful but I would probably come back after a long time if I really really want some Unagi bento! Because there are so many Japanese restaurants out there in NYC.

Extremely rude service, subpar food, and bar none the worst dining experiences I've ever had

Always hearing about the stupid prices at the well-known sushi bar Masa, I've never even bothered going. Now, with the new Kappo Masa opening, apparently a less formal, less pricey version, I figured it was a good chance to try Chef Masa's sushi. After taking the elevator down from the Gagosian Art Gallery to the basement level, we entered the swanky dining room, with at least 10 men and women in suits to not quite greet us, but to stare at us as we wondered which direction the hostess's stand was. We finally spotted it through this sea of employees meandering around, and were shortly after shown to our table. Once I quickly perused the menu, I thought about how ridiculous the supposedly higher priced Masa must be. Other than the $16 or $18 soups and salads, everything else on the first page of the menu was around $30 to $40. There was also the Seared Japanese Ohmi Beef Sashimi that our waiter made a point of recommending, which was $120. The menu is enormous, with tons of choices in several sections spanning four pages. If there were no prices listed, I would have gladly ordered tons of stuff, but in the interest of keeping the dinner to a reasonable level, we just ordered a few things, at being careful not to order the especially ludicrously priced items: - Beef Garlic Fried Rice ($28) This was very delicious, but was still just a very tiny portion of fried rice that wasn't really better than you can get at many Japanese restaurants. The only difference was that this one was nearly thirty bucks instead of three bucks. - Unagi with Cucumber Temaki Handroll ($34) Not actually a handroll, but four small pieces of eel semi-wrapped in some seaweed with some rice. Again, $34 for these few small bites was just criminal. - Spicy Tuna with Crispy Green Chili Roll ($22) A good take on your typical spicy tuna, this was a delicious roll, with 8 very well-made pieces. - Yellowtail with Scallion Roll ($18) Also a very good roll, closest to a reasonably priced item, but still not quite. - Toro Sashimi ($15) and Salmon ($6) Each order of sashimi comes with two pieces, but they probably add up to the size of one decent piece. They were pretty good, but nothing better than some of the other top sushi places in NYC. OK, sure, we got mostly white people Japanese restaurant type choices, but it was the only stuff that didn't seem too expensive to enjoy (who wants to order the Uni Risotto for $48? Or the Toro Toro Roll for $68?) I understand that this is a restaurant in an art gallery on Madison Avenue, so the prices aren't going to be fair, but this just seemed out of control. The pieces of sashimi were so minuscule, and while good, were just hard to enjoy knowing what each bite was costing. They were offering two desserts, a Miso Creme Brulee and Black Sesame Ice Cream, but I was too scared to order them since they weren't listed on the menu. If I ever come into some money that I can burn for no reason, I'll be back here to try some more of that extensive menu. Otherwise, never again.

Came to this restaurant and was impressed by the arts. It's perfect for date night! Food was pretty good. I liked the Uni custard and shrimp pasta (it's made of true shrimp)!

Delicious. Authentic. Scrumptious. Yes. YAsss. If you're a looking for a place that would require you to mortgage your house for one sushi roll (but it's totally worth it), look no further. This place couldn't be anymore hidden in the most boggie way possible i.e. walk through an art gallery to get to your table. The staff is very knowledgeable, attentive, and just the right amount of class where you don't feel like they're judging you for not starting in a movie or being a fortunate 500 ceo. I'm saying can I just enjoy my $48 duck tacos in peace? #gosh. The food is fresh in that it honestly feels like they scooped the fish from an ocean. Grass fed it. Let it roam around with his homies. and then brought it to my table for a proper meal/burier #thankyouforyourservice. For a special occasion, a birthday dinner, or last meal before sentencing, I would definitely recommend this place.

Super elegant. Clean bathrooms. I had the following and they were all fresh and delicious. * Fresh water eel sashimi * Salt water eel sashimi * Sweet shrimp bc sushi * Salmon sashimi * Yellow tail sashimi * Drunken tangerine cocktail

I had just gotten back from California where everywhere I went had amazing sushi, just blew me away how good it was. Cheap places, with life changing sushi. So I decided to try to order the best sushi in my area to scratch that itch. Sadly what I got was surprisingly bland sushi especially for the price tag. Service I will say was incredible, and atmosphere was glowing, but at the end of the day it's the food that matters- and when I get better $20 sushi at a randomly chosen sushi spot in Pasadena, then this just isn't worth its price tag. This is less of a mark against the restaurant as it is the broader sushi scene in Manhattan. I don't know the details on how and why sushi in Manhattan got here, I just can taste where it is.

Found! Delicious Japanese fare on Madison Avenue. Sure its expensive, but after you shopped at Prada, Gucci and Tom Ford its a drop in the bucket! But seriously the prepared food and creative rolls standout. The scene is modern and lively, despite its below grade address. Come here for a special lunch. For more great reviews of the New & Authentic visit TheLoupe!

The seating is UNI color! That is a gem in its self! Location is the second bonus. Perfect vibe, so many wonderful choices on the menu. I did not have the omakase but look forward to coming back to try. I must add that the service was really spot on as well.

I was looking forward to the Omakase meal, just as a pre NYE celebration. I was sat at the end of the bar close to where the staff set up their station. The team was very loud making it for an uncomfortable experience, one woman who was part of the service team at the bar area spoke extremely loudly and was speaking next to my ear on top of my chair through my whole meal. As I was having my meal I saw a cockroach by my seat behind the counter, I quickly approached the host stand and relayed this information to the host as it was extremely uncomfortable to have to see that at a restaurant. They did nothing about it. No manager approached me to apologize, or even say anything regarding the violation and what I had just witnessed. I guess spending that much money on an Omakase meal really is nothing unusual for them, but I was expecting a much higher experience for the name of the restaurant and the caliber it states to be a part of. Will not be returning.

No. It only gets 2 stars because the drinks were out of this world. The decor is BEAUTIFUL. If you want to impress a date, look no further. Kappo Masa features artwork likely from the prestigious gallery right above the restaurant. The drinks are so tasty and they have quite the selection of exotic fruit juices and liquors to choose from. We sat at a table and ordered sushi. While I usually like to sit at the counter, we opted for table service. They brought over about 18 pieces over 2-3 courses. I honestly felt like the fish was not even mediocre. It didn't melt in my mouth. It didn't taste extremely fresh. It didn't have any specialty to it. I was absolutely not impressed. As the night went on, I could feel the AC cranking up more and more. I asked several people if they could turn the air down as I was literally shivering. They all said that they would but after 30 minutes went by, it didn't get any better. They should have communicated to me that the air could not be turned down or offer to move me to another part of the restaurant not underneath an AC vent. We couldn't wait to get the check. Overall, I was not impressed.

Came here this past weekend for date night. The first impression I got was quite wonderful. The atmosphere seemed sophisticated and lounge-like. When my boyfriend called to make a reservation prior he had specifically asked if the omakase was sushi. The person on the other end of the line had said yes, but she was not telling the truth! Wish we would have known before- hand it was kaiseki type omakase and not just sushi/sashimi cause honestly we would have skipped it. The dishes that came out were beautifully presented but I have to say there was nothing remarkable about the taste. The Uni porridge had major potential but there was such a mixture of flavors that I could not focus on the taste of... UNI! When the sushi portion of the omakase came out there was all but 6 pieces all together. Now, to my understanding this is a baby of chef Masa. His reputation for sushi is pretty high standard and this sushi didn't meet that expectation. Now, I'm fully aware this is not his shining pride and joy at $450 a person, but just no. Also dessert was a plate of strawberries. . . . What? Dinner vs price of dinner didn't match up guys. The stars are mostly for the atmosphere, the presentation, and the service. The staff and service were exceptional, so I'm not sure where the bad reviews regarding that aspect came from. Overall I would not recommend spending your money here. After dinner we said we should have went to Gari instead.

Came here for a date the other night. Exceptional service and dining experience. The sushi was very fresh and delicate. Yes, it was a little pricey but you are paying for top quality and a five-star dining experience. If you want cheap sushi go to an all you can eat for 20$ buffet in the Bronx.

This one star is for a particular server who saw that I had no battery life on my iPhone and asked if i needed the phone to be charged. Such attention deserves a star. Now let's get down and dirty. 1.terrible entrance with no hostess at the door, the bouncer looking dude at the gallery had to help me with directions. 2.the prices are what you expect at other masa's which is ridiculously absurd. 3. Decor is too simple. again for the price I expect some visual feast for my eyes. Yellow Leather sofas and a giant vase just doesn't cut it. 4. Food is exactly like bar masa's ...really ?!?! No surprise whatsoever. 4 dishes in and $130 later I decided to stop throwing my money down memory lane. Service was nice, staff was nice. Just nice. For the price tag it's like buying a chanel boy bag for $10000.00 in 2016

Yum! Yes it is a bit pricey, but I had a delicious lunch! I got the lunch set - not bad at $56, but also got a Negitoro hand roll which was TINY and that was an additional $36 . Sushi melted in my mouth, though! And the space is beautiful with friendly staff. Will definitely go back if I am in the UES!

Misses the point. Overpriced Japanese restaurant. Dishes are very small although the urge by the staff to share. 5 out of the 6 appetizers we ordered missed their seasoning and came close to being very good, 1 was amazing. Sushi platter was ordinary and lacked creativity and imagination, a waste of very good quality fish and products. 410$ per couple (including wine and cocktails) that have better been spent elsewhere.

It would be unfair of me to give this place 3 stars, since this has been a regular spot for my father and I to get lunch when he's in town. But to give it 5 stars would be misleading. Sushi is good. Great fish quality, but I do feel like they ham up the western rolls too much which makes me wince a little. I would give this place more street creds if they didn't tempura all their veggie rolls. It's overdone, and what they do is no different than lower tiered sushi places in NYC. I think what sets this place apart is they do a nice job showcasing other parts of Japanese cuisine on their menu that's not sushi. Sure some dishes are fusions or just not Japanese at all, but the Japanese essence is there, and I enjoy it. Grilled and cold dishes are very good. I really enjoyed their fish pasta, but be warned, this is an acquired taste. Their duck tacos are a must! Bites of perfection! The only problem about that dish is there is nothing Japanese about it--but at least they perfected that dish. Their Brussels sprouts and eggplant dishes are excellent. And their yakimono (grilled) dishes are on point. I agree that staff can be a little overzealous and tactless at time. My dad had exploded at the wait staff once because one gentleman kept taking our small serving dishes. It was a bit much but no need for my dad's great A freak out. But it didn't deter us from coming back. The one dish I think everyone should avoid is the uni (sea urchin) udon dish. I've had it many times at many places and have come to the conclusion it is not a dish that works and uni should remains on a bed of battleship shape of rice wrapped in seaweed. Overall I enjoy coming here. I recommend ordering things to share as you get a more positive and tasty experience. Otherwise you will be confused as to why they keep bringing you new small plates and taking away your used ones.

So pricey, so good. If the old saying is "you get what you pay for", then it holds true at Kappo Masa. Really excellent sushi, wonderful salads, lovely decor with impeccable art. They have a massive and precise staff. We always feel a sting when the bill comes, but the quality just can't be beat - so we go again, and again, and again!

So, there we were, my daughter and I, tired and glowing after a wonderful evening at the Met and both on the same page in wanting some sushi on a steamy Spring night. Up popped Kappi Masa on a search list and there we went, welcomed nicely to the sushi bar. Then, handed the menu, struck dumb by the prices: $19 for Toro. One piece! Sliced as thin as paper. The same with all - beautiful fish, sweet, fresh and miniscule. A small, not very generous carafe of a nice, but barely distinguished sake, $54. Wanting some dessert, for $9 I was treated to a single, tiny, melonball-sized scoop of ice cream. The tab for 2, still hungry as we left, was over $400. An obscene, abusive experience.

Amazing dinner here this weekend. We lucked into a reservation through our concierge at The Surrey and wandered in with no preconceived ideas about the restaurant (although we are foodies, we weren't familiar with this one, and were too exhausted from a long day to ask many questions or research it). The service was top notch, friendly and not snobby at all but offered great recommendations. The sushi and everything we tried was phenomenal. A5 Ohmi Beef Tataki with truffles was our favorite, and the cold sake menu offered some great options, including glass and carafe sizes so you could try an option or two. I recommend Amabuki Himawari 'Sunflowers' Junmai Ginjo. Loved the location tucked away under an art gallery.

An artistic journey of 1000 delights and intense flavors. Very nice young man taking coats

Yes. One of the best sushi restaurants I've been to. Excellent food. Excellent service. Close to top hotel bars. Definitely coming back. Not a causal place, and expect to pay top dollar. But overall amazing!!! Loved it.

In NYC you have your pick of fancy Japanese sushi places, Kappo Masa definitely is one of them; however the food falls short. The sushi, quite honestly, is just average. The rice is cold, and while certain pieces should just melt in your mouth... they don't. Get the cod, eggplant and asparagus salad, Skip the sushi.

My friend and I love to go around and try new restaurants and I chose Kappo Masa this time around. Now, we went in knowing the menu is pretty expensive here but in terms of high-end dining, it really hits the mark. The food was exceptional. You gotta try the coconut lobster tacos. Absolutely delicious. Also, while items on the menu are on the pricier end, you don't have to wind up with a huge bill. Honestly, for two, I was anticipating paying around $350 but in actuality we paid $184 including tax ($219 after tip); granted, we are also light eaters but still, no where near as much 'damage' as some reviews may lead you to believe--at least, not if you've done your research ahead of time and know what the bill might look like. Our bill included a cocktail, a glass of wine, dinner for two, and dessert. The staff was super courteous. The location itself is inside an art gallery with authentic Picasso paintings and other artists' work directly around you. I also found the restaurant easy to locate inside the gallery; it's clearly labeled and points you in the direction down the stairs on the right after you walk in (earlier reviews from others said it was hard to locate, so I assume the Kappo Masa staff probably took the criticism seriously and fixed that problem because it wasn't an issue for us). Not too loud either--we had a 6pm reservation on a Saturday, so it wasn't totally full at that time but even as more people came in for their reservations, it was still easy to have conversations. Oh, but folks, please leave the kids at home! Even if they're older kids e.g. 9 or 10, just trust me, kids are still kids and it's not exactly a good place to take them to. Believe me, you may think your kids are cute but I don't think I have to say what I think!

We had high hopes for this place for masa name but it did not live up to its hype. Had 6:30 reservation it is under gagosian gallery so it's a bit tricky to find. The restaurant was pretty empty so we were seated quickly. Three of us ordered a variation of the early bird prefix menu. Kale salad Miso soup Shrimp pasta Beef sukiyaki Shrimp soba Grapefruit granitee Miso creme brûlée And we added Uni hand roll Peking duck taco with fois gras sauce From the prefix nothing was bad but nothing was outstanding. Only the shrimp pasta was a little innovative. Uni hand roll has soggy seaweed and normal Uni with some cucumber on top. Yawn! Peking duck was okay, not special either. And cocktails are $20. It's refreshing but lack presentation. All that we each paid 100 bucks!

We had tasting menu last Friday..the food was great ! I def will comes back again ..but not for the tasting menu..

My experience was disappointing. Had high expectations but it was very over priced for exceptionally small portions. Waste of money. Fresh fish but extremely anticlimactic. Not worth it.

Kappo Masa is an elegant dinning experience. I felt immediately welcomed by the hostess and manager with warmth and charm. The attentive staff reflected the refined and polished atmosphere, without making the welcome stiff. The Peking duck foie gras mini tacos where absolutely delicious and complemented quite spectacularly with an aged sake. I will be dreaming about this for quite some time. Kappo Masa left me feeling pleased. I shall certainly recommend this restaurant to my family and friends. Thank-you.

Nice restaurant in a good location surrounded by galleries and antique shops. The food is tasty, the decoration is modern, the staff is professional and friendly. Recommended.

This is one of the best places I've ever been in NY! I really enjoyed the black truffle sushi. Try it!

Disappointing bento lunch. Under seasoned, bland, and soggy tempura. A nice kale salad to start but fell apart from there.

My experience dining at Kappo Masa was rather disappointing. The service and wait staff were good and attentive the whole meal but the food was just abysmal. Having dined at other top tier Japanese restaurants such as Shuko, I expected more from a restaurant opened by the famous Masa. We did the full tasting menu and after the 3rd course, everyone in the party agreed that the food was geared towards a "Caucasian" audience with a less than knowledgable palette for contemporary Japanese-fusion cuisine. Not worth the price, there are cheaper and better Contemporary Japanese restaurants in the city.

Had a great meal here, the low ratings seem to be for the sushi, which we didn't have, but considering the quality and sheer deliciousness of we ordered, I think people may just be uptight. The peking duck tacos were incredible, they have a better miso black cod than Nobu (hard to beat), and the fried chicken and panko chicken skewers were incredible! The fried shrimp were great too, especially enhanced by the sauce. Yum!
