Masaki Sushi

Food quality was amazing, got a ton of sushi for my birthday and it was the perfect amount. It was a bit pricey but it's a fancy restaurant so it makes sense. The dragon Ball z special roll was insane, I definitely recommend for bbq eel lovers.

We enjoyed a delightful lunch at Masaki Sushi, where the distinctive flavour of their house blend soy sauce stands out. Although our visit was brief and limited our ability to try their full menu and sake selection, it was sufficient to leave a favourable impression. Based on this experience, we strongly recommend this outstanding restaurant.

The food overall is great. We ordered a bunch of small plates and some sushi and everything was amazing. The owners are super sweet and we even purchased a sake from their fridge to go. Every time we returned in Niagara on the lake will be sure to visit masaki

The sushi is incredible, but have you tried the sake? We spent six months in Japan this year and Masaki is the closest in Ontario to tasting like the sushi from Japan. It's clean, it's varied, and it's even served with shisho leaf! The presentation is immaculate, too. But the reason we come back is because of the sake. Masaki has a sake sommelier, Yoshi-san, and the pairings he's chosen are an experience you can't replicate elsewhere. He explains the philosophy behind the brewing and the food that goes well with each sake. He even designed his own sake that pairs with everything and tastes like roses (try it!). Let him choose your flights and you'll be happy. We discovered Masaki accidentally while touring different wineries, and it stands beside them all. We can't wait to come back!

Our table of four had the most amazing experience this past weekend. We ordered 4 different flights of sake and the sake somellier (I should have asked his name) spent a lot of time explaining the background of each of the sake. It was unforgettable. The sushi was expertly made and completed our evening. My partner is also celiac and was guided to the menu options that were gluten free and safe for her to eat.

We visited Masaki Sushi for lunch today, and it was our first time there. The restaurant has a quaint, cozy feel. When we arrived, we were the only customers, and throughout the lunch hour there were maybe about 15 people in total. It never felt crowded or noisy, which made for a really pleasant atmosphere. The service was excellent—our server was attentive and friendly. Unlike many other sushi spots, this isn’t an all-you-can-eat place. Instead, the focus is on quality, and I honestly found it much better. The prices are similar to an AYCE restaurant, but the amount of food you get is still very satisfying—especially if you’re a sensible eater. Some meals come with appetizers, and the sushi is prepared right in front of you at the bar, which adds a nice touch to the experience. We also tried the sake, which came with a little note describing the tasting notes—floral, fruity, and so on. It was a thoughtful detail that made the experience even better. The only drawback is that you do have to go down a small set of stairs to enter, which could be a challenge for those with mobility issues. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we’ll definitely be back. Masaki Sushi is a great spot if you’re looking for delicious, freshly made sushi in a relaxed setting.

Our Best Anniversary Dinner Experience in 14 Years We visited Masaki for our anniversary, and it became our best anniversary dinner experience in 14 years. Everything, from the food to the service to the presentation, was exceptional. We ordered the top sirloin don bowls, and they were absolutely phenomenal. The flavour profile was layered, rich, and perfectly balanced. Even the edamame, something usually so simple, was elevated with a beautiful sear and paired with an incredibly flavourful soy sauce. The miso soup was deep, bold, and comforting, easily one of the best we have ever tasted. Presentation across all dishes was stunning. The Dragon Roll with barbecued eel genuinely impressed us. Despite having been to Japan, this was the best eel sushi we have ever had. The chef’s special gyoza were packed with flavour and unlike any gyoza we have tried before. For dessert, Masaki surprised us with a complimentary plate to help us celebrate our anniversary, and that gesture meant a lot to us. The matcha cheesecake with red bean offered a perfect harmony of flavours. It was smooth, balanced, and beautifully plated. The mochi ice cream platter was a refreshing and delightful finish to the meal. The service was just as remarkable as the food. The staff were friendly, attentive, and professional. Everything was well organized, and the steady flow of service made the entire evening feel comfortable and cared for. We highly recommend this restaurant. Every dish we ordered was a perfect 10 out of 10, and the overall experience was unforgettable. Masaki made our anniversary truly special, and we will definitely be returning.
