Masa Restaurant
Located in trendy Midtown, Masa is venerable Tallahassee restaurateur Lucy Ho's upscale enterprise. The Asian-fusion menu offers a creative, modern blend of Eastern and Western cuisines. A dinner favorite is the Chilean sea bass. In its casually elegant space,
the restaurant's sushi bar also is popular.
Try the tuna tartar with avocado on crispy wonton skins for lunch.
Masa is a great Asian-inspired seafood and sushi restaurant. Masa offers an elegant and stylish dining experience in a serene setting that reflects its Asian influence.

"On our visit, there were four of us although the reservation was for 5 originally.
Masa is always dependable but on this date, the service was quite slow. In fact, we waited at least 20 minutes for our food after ordering which is unusual for MASA. Several of us commented on this as we had been there before."

"My fiance and I were looking for a new restaurant and wanted to try Masa. We had heard wonderful things about Masa. These reviews were right. Our experience was as good as any I have ever had. Our waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu. The food was delivered in a timely manner and was much better than expected. We thank Masa for a wonderful evening."

"On a caliber with big city restaurants; great food and ambience. Service is always great. My one critique is that I have known them to close on nights when they decide they aren't busy enough to stay open to closing time and have been turned away (due to a local football game!- you would NEVER get away with that in a big city)"

"Masa may not look like much from the outside, but it is a real great find. Terrific sushi - and they allow you to go off the menu, The crab and avocado salad was huge - well worth it. Try the tuna cevichi appetizer too. Maggie our server was friendly and very knowledgeable about both the wine and the sushi. A great overall experience!"

"This is my favorite restaurant in Tallahassee, by far. The Pad Thai is the best I've ever had, they have a good wine menu, and the prices are reasonable. I live in Orlando so going here is a special treat for me!"

"Love this place! Every visit to Tally includes a meal at Masa. Sushi is top quality, even for Boca folks. Thai Chicken curry is our favorite curry anywhere. Calamari Masa style is another must have; served slightly sweet over lettuce greens. Lots of great options for vegetarians including the best hot & sour soup. Service is awesome. Fun atmosphere; lots of FSU people. Parking stinks & on a rainy night the valets can't really help. But, brave the rain with an umbrella. Once you enter, service & food are so good, you forget about the parking."

"I have always been a huge fan of masa. Every time I have gone there the food is always amazing and the service is on point. The sushi is delectable and on this visit I tried a dish off the menu and it was equally pleasing. The atmosphere is dim and intimate which is perfect for romantic dates or special occasions. Seating for larger parties is also available. The staff and service at Masa are very friendly, helpful, and accommodating."

"I live in Miami, so am spoiled by the quality of restaurants there. Masa is the first Tallahassee restaurant I have eaten at that could thrive in Miami. Fresh sushi, good food, good service and reasonable prices. Will definitely eat there again on my next visit."

"Great food, reasonably priced.
I made reservations for 7:00 and didn't make it until 7:20 and still made sure I received a table -- excellent service!
I would suggest making reservations if you decide to go, otherwise, you'll end up waiting in what appeared to be a long line."
