In Short – Votive candles lead guests up steep stairs to a slick, urban room decorated with wood paneling, sheer curtains and orange-hued lights. Record industry types sip sake on the low couches in the bar area while romantics dine at tables surrounded by sheer curtains and candlelight. Entrees like the buttery Kobe beef tenderloin in cucumber cups and seared scallops with cilantro curry sauce are masterfully prepared and sushi is vividly fresh.

disorganized

by oregonsunset1 at Citysearch

nothing was platted correctly. one salad came, then an entre. we had ordered an appetizer that finally came at the end of the meal and the 2nd persons salad came with a third entre. Server never asked if we wanted a 2nd cocktail. recommend you dont put an appetizer on the menu that takes a long time to prepare.

  • Pros: good sushi
  • Cons: terrible service

Nice decor, average sushi

by misfitcooper at Citysearch

While in Portland for the weekend, we decided to check out Masu based on reviews at citysearch. The prices were about average for this type of sushi place, the sushi itself was average at best. The service was fine; I don't think we had the same person at our table more than once, not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing but they were all friendly (one woman even went to her co-workers to come up with some recommendations for some good places for us to check out after). I loved the decor, especially the wall behind the sushi bar. Nice music, too, and I have to give them props for playing Hot Chip!

  • Pros: Cool staff, nice ambience/decor
  • Cons: Average sushi, poorly insulated (cold by the windows)

so tasty and so yummy

by aktionjackson at Citysearch

Masu is a great place for some very amazing sushi! I was at the sushi bar with my brother and we both decided before hand that we didn't want to spend to much money and to try and keep it cheap, knowing sushi is always expensive, and masu isn't exactly a family style old school japanese 50% off kinda place. It's hip and funky with alot of style right downtown, it's more along the lines of a place to be seen. So we started getting our order and as soon as we started eating we looked at each other and we just started laughing, because it was soooo.. Goood! We started with Hirame our favorite! My brother and I usually get sushi together because we can afford more and sample more. the Hirame was amazing I have to say. We even asked the sushi chef about it and he said that they special order it from japan every week for the weekend. we ate our dinner and everything was so good, we both couldn't remember the last time we had so much delicious sushi, every piece of nigiri was so fresh. My bro and i usually eat on the east side of town, but we decided to try and get back to masu ASAP!. Our plan to eat cheap didn't quite happen, only because we had to order more since it was so good. oops! Try the Aji and if you are downtown portland definitly try out masu sushi it's a winner!! definitly be going back..

  • Pros: So good and ti's really fun cool place to be
  • Cons: the sushi bar only had 6 sits so next time i might have to wait
