Masa was opened by Chef Masa Takayama in 2004 and is considered one of the most expensive restaurants in the world. The menu is Omakase and there is only one seating each for dinner and lunch. Reservations for the 26 available seats are taken three weeks in advance. Chef Masa prepares the menu himself, often including seasonal ingredients. He uses many exotic ingredients, such as truffles and Kobe beef. Most of the fish are flown in from Japan. Chef Masa can be seen working behind the bar and will sometimes serve the food as well. While there is no menu to order from, Chef Masa does keep a record of what he's served to his customers and what their reactions were. Masa has been named as one of New York's Top 50 chefs by Travel + Leisure. Forbes named Masa as the Most Expensive Restaurant in the U.S. for 2005 and 2006 as well as The World's Most Expensive Sushi in 2007.

ACCOLADES:
Chef Masa has received Mobile 5 star award & 4 star review in the New York Times.
