We travel to Staunton several times a year for the Shakespeare, and have watched the restaurants come and go, mostly without regret. Massaki is a find - and recommended by several local friends. The hibachi meals can be ordered at a table (rather than as a show), and all the fish was fabulous - fresh and tasty and beautifully cooked.... More

Friendly host, good service, nice decor, and a good show. Too bad only the menu describes Japanese food but the cusine is strictly Staunton fare on rice. Now to be fair, we did not try any sushi at our lunch, I had Udon with tempura vegs, and she had Hibachi chicken with fried rice. We were both served a "house... More

We eat here ALOT! My husband is in the Army & they are aware of it. My son & I came to eat Easter Sunday & ordered my husband's food to go since he had to work a 16 hour shift today and this is our favorite restaurant. I wanted to surprise him with his favorite. After the WORST service... More

My husband and I ate here on our way to New Orleans. Have to say, not much ambience,although we didn't eat in the hibachi section. My husbands octopus roll was really chewy, seafood as well as nori. I ordered the chicken - swordfish combo but they were out of swordfish. I had a pretty ordinary chicken teriyaki. The wine selection... More

Food was fresh and delicious. Our Japanese cook was great, and made our dining experience delightful. He heeded my low salt request with no problems.

Manager went out of his way to honor our request of no children @ our table. The reason we requested this was due to having a bad experience with children @ our table with the last visit. Food was excellent! Returned on Sunday to get a to go order of sushi. Excellent special on sunday & it was the best... More

Sushi is wondeful! Get the Massaki Special roll. Or if you sit at a Hibachi table prepare for a show and really great HUGE SERVINGS of food. If you have an allergy they will prepare your food in the back so there is no cross-contamination concerns. VERY accomodating. Prepare your small children for the warm flame when they first heat...

Love to go here! The food is always good and service great! Price is reasonable considering you get large portions and a show too! Not a huge sushi fan but others rave about how good it is. Kids seem to really enjoy the cooks performances too.

I don't get the hype here. My steak hibachi was mediocre and this place is really expensive! The service was good and atmosphere nice but I don't think I'll return.
