There is no Sushi Masa in Jomtien or Pattaya

Verify the restaurant identity carefully before relying on similarly named listings.

To be straight with you: there is no Sushi Masa restaurant in Jomtien or anywhere in Pattaya. We had it listed in error, and we’d rather correct that than describe a restaurant that isn’t here.

What Sushi Masa actually is

Sushi Masa (ซูชิ มาสะ) is a Bangkok-only Japanese chain. Its branches are in Bangkok neighbourhoods such as Ratchathewi, Thonglor and Ruamrudi, plus the Masa Garden offshoot on Sukhumvit 39. None of them is in Jomtien or Pattaya. If you specifically want the Sushi Masa chain, you’ll find it up in Bangkok.

Real sushi in Jomtien

The KTC restaurant list also places Sushi Masa branches in Bangkok. Do not confuse that chain with Otaru Masazushi’s MASA, whose official Thai site gives an ICONSIAM address in Bangkok; similar names are a reason to check the exact brand and address before travelling.

The good news: Jomtien has plenty of genuine Japanese and sushi options. On the strip, Ozawa Ramen is a reliable local favourite; the D Varee Jomtien Beach hotel runs the DaRe Sushi bar; and Tsunami Sushi is a well-known Jomtien buffet. Any of them is a real, trading alternative for sushi in Jomtien.

Identity boundary

The Wongnai chain page and KTC list support the Bangkok-only chain identity, while the official Masa site concerns the separately named Otaru Masazushi brand. The local restaurant directory is useful for alternative discovery, not proof that Sushi Masa has a Jomtien branch. Match the exact brand and address before travelling.

The useful booking detail is therefore a negative one: there is no Pattaya address, Pattaya timetable or Pattaya reservation route to rely on for Sushi Masa. The branch names in the retained Bangkok evidence and the separately named MASA site give travellers two identity checks before committing to a trip.

Tsunami Sushi Buffet Chaiyapruek

Tsunami Sushi Buffet is an all-you-can-eat Japanese buffet on the Chaiyapruek side of Jomtien, and it's one of the better-value sushi spreads in the Pattaya area. The format is simple: pick one of three two-hour buffet tiers — roughly 599, 799 or 1,099 baht — and order as much as you like from a menu that runs past a hundred items, with free-flow soft drinks and ice cream included. Sushi and maki are the headline, but the kitchen also sends out sashimi, grilled and fried Japanese dishes, salads, soups and hot pots depending on the tier you choose, so it works for a mixed group where not everyone wants raw fish. It's à la carte too if you don't feel like a full buffet. The room is casual and family-friendly rather than a design statement, and it's popular with Thai families, expats and visitors staying around Jomtien and Chaiyapruek. The one rule everyone should know: like most Thai all-you-can-eat places, they charge for food you order but leave unfinished, so pace yourself and only order what you'll actually eat. Prices are approximate and the tiers move with promotions — check the current price list and what each tier includes when you arrive. Open daily, roughly 11:30 to 22:00.
