"Masu's Sushi, located in the heart of Oregon, is a culinary gem that offers a unique dining experience. The restaurant, which takes its name from the traditional wooden box used to serve sushi, combines a blend of Japanese tradition with a touch of modern innovation. My recent visit to Masu's Sushi left me with an array of impressions and flavors. Situated in a bustling area of Oregon, the restaurant's exterior is unassuming, and you might almost miss it if not for the subtle yet elegant sign. However, stepping inside, you are transported into a cozy and inviting space. The interior is a harmonious fusion of contemporary design with nods to Japanese aesthetics. The lighting is warm, and the decor includes elements of traditional Japanese art and design, creating a sense of cultural depth and authenticity. While it's not a large venue, the intimate setting adds a personal touch, making it a perfect place for a special dining experience. The star of the show at Masu's Sushi is undoubtedly the cuisine. The menu is a culinary journey that showcases a wide variety of sushi and sashimi options, as well as creative fusion dishes. The focus here is on using fresh, high-quality ingredients to craft memorable flavors. The sushi chefs at Masu's demonstrate an impressive level of expertise and a passion for their craft that shines through in every dish. The sushi and sashimi offerings are a testament to the precision and artistry of Japanese culinary tradition. Each piece of sushi is a work of art, with the fish so fresh it practically melts in your mouth. The subtle interplay of flavors, from the sweetness of eel to the delicate umami of uni (sea urchin), showcases the chef's skill and attention to detail. What truly sets Masu's Sushi apart is its unique fusion creations. The menu includes inventive rolls that combine traditional Japanese ingredients with unexpected twists. The Dragon Roll, for example, features succulent shrimp tempura, creamy avocado, and a drizzle of eel sauce for a perfect balance of flavors and textures. The Green Tea Ice Cream for dessert is a must-try, offering a delightful blend of crispy and creamy. While the atmosphere at Masu's Sushi is more intimate than the grandeur of Applebee's, it's a charming and memorable experience for any food enthusiast. The genuine appreciation for Japanese cuisine and the dedication to creating memorable dining moments make Masu's Sushi a standout dining destination in Oregon. Drove all the way from San Rafael just to eat here so worth it"
