Eek! doesn't quite put the enough emphasis on just how bad this place really is. I am also quite shocked to see how my fellow yelpers could rate this place with any more than 2 stars. \n\nThe boyfriend and I along with the buds came here to eat after not being able to decide on a place and we were running out time since there was soo much do in while in Vegas. I was connected to the restaurant from room service since we were staying in Aria. I wanted to see if I can get us a table for that evening since the gang was planning on eating within the hour. I should've known when the hostess told me that a reservation as last minute as ours was not needed and we can just walk in whenever that this was a bad idea. So after getting ready, we strolled downstairs and was promptly greeting and seated probably only because the hostess were bored our of their minds. \n\nI was not visually wowed by this place at all. For being a restaurant inside Aria, I had higher expectations for the atmosphere and interior design for Bar Masa, have you seen Aria-nothing like it! It looked like a airport cafeteria. It had such a big and open space but the colors and furnitures were soo bland and boring. They used a lot of different shades of whites/off whites, brown, and dark gray. \n\nWe looked at the menu, yes some of the items listed were a bit pricier but we thought since it's Vegas, it might be the norm as well as being chef Masa. Oh how naive I was. The food was terrible. We ordered a spicy tuna roll, a yellow-tail roll, Kobe beef fried rice, and a mushroom udon soup. Not only was the food we order expensive, the portions tiny, and it made us very sick. \n\nThe rolls were decent but way over-priced for 5 pieces each roll. The Kobe beef fried rice was like an average bowl of fried rice. We couldn't tell if it was just regular beef or actual Kobe since it was ground up and very little of it. It was more like fried rice with onions and rice that tasted like butter and soy sauce. The udon was horrible. The broth they used was bland and was just disgusting. I couldn't believe this was the food being put out by chef Masa. It just looked plain. No visual presentation either. The atmosphere and the food is comparable to fast food-Japanese style. \n\nThe waitress however was very friendly. She's from China and chatted us up like immigrating from there and her life now. I think our waitress was the only highlight for our night there.
