Gift Tips
- Book the Hinoki counter experience if you want a focused omakase — it’s ideal for a special occasion and offers close interaction with the chefs.
- Try the taro tartare with caviar for a standout starter, often praised for its balance of texture and flavor.
- Order the Omi wagyu with truffle as an indulgent extra course when available for a rich, memorable bite.
- Sample the maki with uni and scallop if you enjoy creamy, ocean-forward rolls; it’s a popular a la carte choice.
- Stop by the bar for a walk-in sushi spot when you’re nearby — bar seating can be easier to snag and still delivers excellent quality.

Bar Masa is a Japanese restaurant in New York’s Columbus Circle area, located in the Shops at Columbus Circle. The space separates the bar and dining areas so guests can choose either a lively bar vibe or a more private table experience.
- Ambiance: Intimate, classy setting with a visible bar and noren-veiled tables that create a sense of retreat from the dining room.
- Cuisine: High-end Japanese focused on seasonal omakase and refined a la carte dishes crafted by Chef Masa and his team.
- Highlights: Hinoki counter seating for a chef-led experience, a striking African Bubbinga bar top, and a textured oya tile wall that frames the room.
The restaurant emphasizes craftsmanship and seasonal ingredients, with an omakase offering that showcases the chef’s selections. Seating at the counter lets guests watch preparations up close, while the dining tables offer a quieter, veiled setting.
Service at Bar Masa aims to be attentive and refined, and the team can guide guests through sake and drink pairings to complement the meal. While the price point is on the high end, the restaurant positions itself as a destination for milestone meals and those seeking a polished sushi experience.
