Masa | Contemporary Japanese Lounge

Family owned restaurant are the best. Food was delicious. We ordered 3 different rolls also teriyaki lettice wrap salad. Portions were friendly the flavors and sauces were so good. Homemade yummy recipes. Family working together bringing a welcoming environment. So fun! One of their mottoes you do not take a shot alone! Hubby ordered a sake bomb. Miss jackie , the sweetest most fun hostess/waitress offered me a FREE Sake bomb just so he didn't have to take a shot alone. Well , I had to pass , I was driving but she took a shot with him.. Loved it!! They also offer all you can drink Sake! I mean, this is our New go to spot! Thank you Jackie!!

I was very pleased with my meal at Masa, the Ika Geso calamari starter was especially tasty. I can’t wait to come back and try the rest of the menu.

I celebrated a family birthday here today for lunch. Over the Top food and service. Wonderful cocktails and great prices. Family owned and run. This was my second time and driving 45 minutes to get the Best Japanese Food is well worth the time.

Jackie was our waitress. She was very nice. Masa Contemporary Lounge is a small local family owned business. Jackie said her brother heard the sushi restaurant was going out of business so they bought it 5months ago to take it over. I'm glad they did because it's a true hidden gem. I wanted oysters and they are very good the shell is even pretty. We also got the hot plate Eel. Never had Eel on a hot plate OMG NEW FAVORITE. Had the Red & White roll. Got a plum cosmo it was yummy and pretty. The cute benches give it a home vibe, there was peaceful relaxing music. Oh and if you like clean oyster shells then you will love them here there perfect. You can order for To go and a take home menu. They also have fried octopus which i love. So will definitely be back. I support local small family owned business so look forward to trying more here.

Drove from SF to check this out it was highly recommended to me. Thankie Jacky & Geno. So we decided to take my close friends 🧡 to masa!!! Which I'm glad 😊 we did! Entering I was mesmerized how simple the decor & the light warmth of the place. Very comfy & different; example the dark red curtain hiding the whole restaurant itself like it's a mystery once we entered it was spacious & unique! The chairs has plenty of space like you're in a traditional seats of a Japanese edo period like an antique feeling but with a modern twist! The lightings & the painting even the divider is a unique feature incase of need of privacy. Did I mentioned a truly family owned! Very attentive siblings introducing themselves to their guests & they'll tell you the honest recommendations to try. Now the menu! Affordable & good portions! Lots of selections! I can't wait to try their dinner menu next time I'm in town. I have a favorite dish there called "the last samurai" 😋 huge portions with different slices of fish, crab, crispy Cucumber, fish eggs, & special sauce! It's so huge I had to ask my friends to share it with me,along with the Philadelphia rolls of cream cheese & salmon! Besides the rolls their bento 🍱 menus was good also! You can mix match of main dishes to side dishes! Don't forget to try their appetizers i liked their takoyaki alot! Next time ill order 2 or 3 more sets! Truly I can't wait to try the dinner menus & update this review in the future! Please support stockton & bay area!

Loved it! It was my first time there with a friend. Highly recommend y’all to give it a try. The staff is easy to talk to. If you sit closer to the staff, you can actually have a full blown conversation with them. Usually its difficult to speak to staff other than the server, I got to speak to who sounded like the owner? But it was awesome! Definitely going back there again 🙂

My friends and I frequent this place for dinner and drinks. Food is tasty and consistent, drinks are worth trying and the service is attentive. Atmosphere is relaxing although it can get quite busy during peak dinnertime which is to be expected. Wait times are reasonable considering the number of people being served. Highly recommend the Brookside Roll for baked umami goodness! Apple sake is our fave amongst the variety of available flavors. Oysters have always been served fresh and clean, we usually order two platters. Will be back again for more! It’s a gem of a spot. If you have room for dessert, definitely try their mochi ice cream, the strawberry flavored one is a must try!
