Hidden mere steps from Central Park, Sushi Masu is the kind of only-in-Manhattan omakase hideaway you stumble upon once and immediately gatekeep. Beneath the glow of soft lighting and sleek contemporary interiors, Michelin-starred Chef Wei Chen curates an intimate Edomae-style experience where pristine seafood sourced directly from Japan meets precision, seasonality, and a quietly seductive sense of artistry. Every course invites you to slow down, sip something chilled, and lose yourself in the rhythm of the fare.
Grab your $149 pulse (a $218 value) for a 16 Course Omakase Dinner For Two that includes Two 16 Course Omakase Dinners, complete with 6 Otsumami, 22 Pieces of Nigiri, 2 Temaki, 2 Desserts, and 2 Glasses of Wine, Beers, Teas, or Zero Proof Cocktails.
With more than two decades of experience spanning Michelin-starred kitchens across New York, Asia, and Kyoto, Chef Wei Chen brings a level of refinement that is effortless rather than overworked. During his tenure at Kōsen, his polished Edomae approach earned the restaurant a coveted Michelin Star, and that same meticulous technique now defines every moment at Sushi Masu’s counter.
The menu shifts constantly with the seasons, making every visit feel a little different from the last. Delicate otsumami dishes set the tone before the evening unfolds into an elegant procession of nigiri and temaki hand rolls featuring cuts such as buttery Chutoro bluefin tuna, Hamachi yellowtail, Kinmedai golden eye snapper, Hotate scallops, Shima Aji, and whatever exceptional arrivals the market has delivered that day. Each bite balances restraint and creativity in a way that feels elevated & impossibly fresh.
By the time dessert and the final sip arrive, the outside world feels very far away. With limited nightly seating and Manhattan omakase experiences often commanding several hundred dollars per person, Sushi Masu is a rare kind of luxury, one intimate, transportive, and surprisingly attainable...
At Sushi Masu, the energy feels less like a traditional Manhattan sushi spot and more like a hidden omakase sanctuary tucked away in Kyoto after dark. Soft lighting glows against sleek interiors dressed in silver koi details, while the intimate counter seating sets the stage for an evening that feels transportive. Every detail invites you to settle in, sip slowly, and savor.
Since joining Sushi Masu in late 2024, Michelin-starred Chef Wei Chen has brought a new level of artistry to the Upper West Side. Training since 2005 in acclaimed Michelin-starred kitchens throughout New York, Asia, and Kyoto, Chef Chen developed a meticulous Edomae technique rooted in discipline, restraint, and precision. His mastery ultimately earned a coveted Michelin Star at Kōsen, cementing his reputation as one of the most exciting sushi chefs working today.
At the center of Chef Chen’s philosophy is an obsession with purity and seasonality. Pristine seafood is flown in directly from Japan’s famed fish markets, where the world’s finest cuts are selected at peak quality before making their way to the counter at Sushi Masu. The result is an omakase driven entirely by intuition, freshness, and modern finesse.
The evening unfolds like choreography. Every slice, brush of soy, and precise movement behind the counter reflects Chef Chen’s quiet precision and deeply studied technique, turning each bite into something immersive and unforgettable. As hand rolls, dessert, and chilled pours of wine or beer round out the experience, time seems to slow inside this candlelit escape.
This is the kind of omakase experience that leaves you feeling as though you’ve slipped away from Manhattan and into a hidden corner of Tokyo or Kyoto for the night...
