Masamitsu Japanese Cuisine

My boyfriend and I walked in on a busy Friday night, so when the host/server let us know there would be a wait, we completely understood. Friday nights are always packed, so it was expected. Despite how busy it was, she was incredibly helpful and attentive and managed to get us seated much quicker than we thought we would be. Once we were seated, the experience kept getting better. The food was absolutely amazing—everything tasted so fresh and flavorful, and you could tell a lot of care went into the preparation. The customer service was outstanding. The host was also our server, and she handled everything so well even while the restaurant was busy. She was friendly, welcoming, and very knowledgeable about both the food and alcohol menu, and gave great recommendations. The restaurant itse

This Japanese restaurant is a must-visit for sashimi lovers. The sashimi is incredibly fresh and tender, truly melting in your mouth with every bite. The menu offers an impressive variety of options, so you can try many different types of premium seafood. The service is attentive, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting, making your dining experience even more enjoyable. Overall, it’s an excellent spot for anyone who appreciates top-quality sashimi.

To say Masamitsu was amazing is an understatement. My mouth is watering as I recall the delectable selection of fresh fish we had. I can still taste the freshness of the ocean. The fish selection was exceptional because you will find cuts of fish that you wouldn’t be able to normally find outside of Japan and treated skillfully with the respect it deserves. The meal was made so much better because we were able to complement all the dishes with a selection of Japanese alcohol that are not easily found elsewhere. This place is full of surprises and a real gem. We were so lucky to nab a table tonight. Our children are normally fussy eaters but they happily slurped their ebi tempura udon while the adults were able to savor the array of foods we ordered. The slurping was music to our ears.

Great value for a quality lunch omakase (10 pc $90.) Amongst the little shops on Huntington Blvd in San Marino is this sushi bar gem 💎. I almost passed it, as the storefront is fairly small. This was a business lunch and my host treated us to this wonderful omakase lunch. You have a choice of the small omakase lunch, 10 pieces, or the deluxe 16 (or 15?) piece omakase. They will ask if you want "with cooked food" or just nigiri. We chose the 10 pc nigiri. See photos of all 10 wonderful pieces. Brent was our sushi chef. Very soft spoken, but friendly and skilled, and from Japan. The flavors were outstanding and complex with each piece. Remember, do not dip in soy sauce, lest you insult the chef. The most interesting was the Japanese barracuda which had a nice char from the torch, an

The fantastic food recommended by the Chef and the friendly staff at Matsamitsu made our evening banquet a night to remember. Be sure to adventure through and try the extensive menu items including an array of Japanese sushi (seriously fresh including rare cuts of sashimi not usually found in other restaurants) and amazing fusion specials (we were lucky enough to try the dish of the day: braised beef rib pasta). Overall, every course was on point, complimented with the warm ambience and attentive service staff, it lives up to all the 5* reviews and definitely a must visit. Do try the Japanese Shochu which compliments the sushi quite well!
