What makes it special?
Cooking as theatre: at Masu , you get to watch the action in the fully open and very busy kitchen. Eating as entertainment: at Masu, it’s not just about the food or the drinks; it’s also that you get to watch a fascinating parade of local celebs and casino high rollers. And did we say the food is fantastic?

Behind the scenes
If you have the wherewithal, you can have your own jar of sake stored for you at Masu. On the other hand, the Nichiyo buffet on Sunday mornings offers an especially good family fun meal. And if you’re looking for sophistication, Masu is your spot. All the still wines on a long, strong list are local, with champagne available by the glass. As for the food, whether it’s from the Robata grill, the regular kitchen or the sushi bar, it’s exquisitely presented and bursting with flavour.
