I wish I could just get to the point in helping you avoid this place, but the experience was so bad I have to go into details! During our stay at the gorgeous Aria, the bf and I were craving some delicious sushi so we decided to check out barMasa. I really wish we hadn't. After seeing the beyond elaborate descriptions of each item to play up the menu choices, limited guests in dining area and the tiny plates we started seeing come out, we regretted having put our order in. We we're in for a total disappointment once it came out... This is exactly what we ordered to start off: Shrimp and Scallop skewers (five skewers/order): there was literally one shrimp and one scallop cut into quarters on what looked like an oversized toothpick to give you an idea of how small each skewer was. Kanpachi jalapeno sotomaki with spicy potato julienne (sushi roll): each piece was half the size of golfball; you get five pieces to an order. a martini...I forget which one, but it was drinkable. A Japanese canned beer, "Aooni" less than 12 ounces (there isn't any draft beer BTW). We ate the food-- it was bland, and gone literally in less than10 minutes. We continued to sip our drinks in disappointment and decided not to order anything else. We were on a mission to get a real meal elsewhere. When our server came by to check on our experience, the bf was honest: the food was bland and truly disappointed on the portions. Our server apologized to which we said, "It's not your fault". It truly wasn't, his service was on point. While waiting on our check, the manager walked over to our table and expressed her concern about our disappointing dining experience. She apologized and asked what we didn't like about the experience. My bf and I commented on the bland and plain taste, not to mention the lacking portions. I am quoting the manager on her response "That's how our chef makes his food- plain and simple. Very little flavor." I understand traditional Japanese cuisine is simple, but it's NOT bland and lacking flavor. She apologized again, nicely, then walked away. Suggestion to barMasa: Customers should come in hungry BUT NOT leave hungry, so amp up your portions, otherwise keep your prices as plain and simple as your food. Needless to say, avoid this place: it's high-priced, has super tiny portions, and overrated.
