Kappo Masa

6.7/10Japanese

AI-generated summary

People warn about the price. It's the more casual sister to Masa and works well as a fancy lunch, but one diner said it was obscenely priced for what arrived. The sushi counter is the strong part, and one regular's favorite is a sweet uni roll. The tacos got praise while the and were called flat.

“Kappo Masa makes my absolute favourite sushi roll of all time, a sweet shrimp uni sutomoki. It’s also the chilled out younger sister to the very fancy Masa and makes for an excellent casual fancy lunch.”
