MA-SE SUSHI EATERY

AMAZING!!!! went last week. Came back again this week. I've been eating sushi for years. But never had any raw. Before I end up in Japan snowboarding, I thought I should probably try to see if I can handle raw food. The idea of eating something uncooked. I searched around for a high end restaurant. I found 2, but they don't offer cooked options for my wife. I spent probably 30 minutes scanning through restaurants once again, even checking them out at the Florida department of health. This is the only 1 that popped out as a potential winner. It was easy to find info on Chef Po, I learned it was family owned and it already had high reviews.This place is perfect. They have an extensive menu of options for everyone. The staff is extremely friendly, the Ramen is fantastic, apps are great, the dragon roll was delicious, and all the raw food I ordered off the specialty menu blew my mind. The torched Salmon belly and torched hamachi was.... WOW!! Bursting full of flavor. I almost didn't want to eat it. It looked like a work of art! This place has a new loyal customer

This place has been recommended by someone on Instagram, I think the vibe was cool so I gotta try it.The shop is small with cool decorations and cozy vibe.Staff were friendly and helpful.For the food, we ordered khao soi w/ wagyu, 2 specialty rolls (shibuya and surf & turf), sashimi.Khao soi was delicious, best ramen that I have ever had in orlando.The rolls were extremely disappointed, one of them comes with a strong smokiness flavor which made us couldn't taste anything else.Sashimi was okay. The waitress took the right order, but the chef read it wrong so we got a little mess up for the plate.With all of that, I don't think there is a chance for me to be back here. I'm living by east Orlando, it took me 30' to get there and it didn't worth it even the khao soi was good.

I ordered online and came by to pick it up seamlessly, the food took around 20 minutes after I ordering. The restaurant itself seems small, and has a casual atmosphere. I was very excited for the ramen, however I didn't like it very much. I ordered it spicy but it did not have any heat or hint of spice to it. It was just a bit lack luster for me. The sushi, however was absolutely delicious. The spicy tuna roll was good, the California roll is a classic, and the dragon roll was amazing.I ordered spicy mayo sauce as well and it was one of the best spicy mayos I have had! I will definitely be back to try more sushi rolls as well as try out their happy hour. Overall a good find

I came here with three other people to try out this new-to-us restaurant. The space was smaller than expected with a few tables and a kitchen you can sort of see from most tables. The menu has a lot of variety of rolls, sashimi, and some ramen options. Our table shared a Philly roll and ma-se bite (pressed spicy tuna on rice). The sushi was delicious and felt like great quality. It is their specialty after all.A couple people got tonkotsu ramen with pork belly and enjoyed it. They said their broth was rich and tasty with nice noodles.I ordered the shoyu ramen which listed ground chicken but I was served sliced chicken breast. The broth wasn't salty like I expected and was instead on the sweeter side. I added chili oil to it which I think just made it into a spicy water instead. The chicken pieces were not something I want again. The texture was so strange and almost fatty feeling if that's possible. I would try something else next time.

AMAZING! Such a great place to eat with a nice atmosphere. The owners are so kind and the food is ALWAYS good and FRESH. They have nice decor and food comes out quickly. The presentation is also beautiful. One of my favorite things is that they always have good specials on the weekends with fresh uni which is hard to find. I will always recommend this place!!!

Wow. We really wanted to like this place. We came in with high, high hopes!! We ordered the Cucumber with Kimchi sauce, Miso Citrus Wings, TomKha Ramen and Spicy Mala Ramen. We enjoyed the apps. The cucumbers were crisp and refreshing. You couldn't even taste the kimchi nor was there any heat to it. The Miso Citrus Wings were packed with flavor and spice. The smell opens up your airway but this top didn't have heat. It was served very hot but not spicy at all.The TomKha Ramen was good the first few bites in, but then just like the black garlic Ramen, the taste became too rich and my stomach was not liking it. I also don't recommend adding chicken. I don't know what it was but for me, it made the flavor worse. It was odd because I love Tom Kha soup which is why I ventured to try this particular ramen. I will give it another shot but with no protein. My husband said the Spicy Mala Ramen was good but had an after taste due to the black peppercorn. That after taste kind of liked it for him. Service was really slow but so was the restaurant. It took awhile for our ramens to come out. We were completely done with our apps for at least 15 mins. We had to ask for water refills even though they had been sitting almost empty through half of our meal. And the food was a bit on the pricey side for what we got. Not sure if we'd come again but being as there isn't much ramen places in this area we may...

Stopped by during lunch break. We came in right at opening. You can pretty much pick wherever you want to sit. We started with the carpaccio for our app. Then I went with the lunch option and did the miso soup and shrimp pad thai. Everything was delicious. Service was great. We plan on stopping by again for lunch.

Stopped in at a friend's recommendation and found my new all time fav sushi spot!Located in a small plaza and easily overlooked, but is really a hidden gem. The atmosphere is intimate but still posh and includes a sushi bar. Either at a table or the bar, you're in for a treat. The place is run by a husband/wife duo who are both delightful. They have an extensive menu with some pretty interesting items plus a decent happy hour menu. I tried the pork dumplings that came with a delicious curry sauce. I wanted just that to go! And we split the 9 piece nigiri (plus a few extra). Each piece was fresh and expertly paired with the right toppings to enhance the flavor even more; literally melted in my mouth. I cannot wait to go back!

If I haven't reviewed or recommended this place before, I should have. It's small but great with food and service. They usually have a couple hours they close after lunch. We typically come for dinner. The wagyu sushi with quail egg is a hit with our kids. Everything is good for sure.

Ma-se is a great and intimate spot to get some quality sushi. It is a a little small but the decoration and food are well worth it, if you can find a seat. The server we had was very attentive and constantly checked up on us.As for the speed of the food delivery, that was also very good. The longest we waited for anything might have been 10 minutes for hot food, but sushi came out sooner than that.Definitely worth checking out if in the area.
