About MASU by Nic Watt
Contemporary Japanese robata dining by celebrated chef Nic Watt. Fresh local ingredients, open charcoal grill, lively atmosphere at SkyCity Auckland.
Welcome to MASU, the exciting Japanese robata restaurant and bar located in the SkyCity Auckland dining precinct. MASU brings atmosphere, passion and a contemporary twist to the traditional robata style of cooking over an open charcoal grill.
My philosophy is simple — use fresh local ingredients, enhance the natural flavours of each dish and let the food speak for itself. This pure approach to cuisine is reflected in our clean, natural décor. Add to this a lively, informal atmosphere and you have a beautifully bold and dramatically different style of Japanese dining in the heart of Auckland.
"A passion for flavour and dedication to detail."
