At Masuta Japanese Fusion Restaurant in Brooklyn, NY, we take pride in offering more than just sushi—we serve a full culinary experience rooted in authenticity, flavor, and freshness. Among our most beloved dishes are our Shrimp Tempura and Chicken Tempura, two staples that continue to win over locals and new guests alike. Whether you’re a seasoned tempura lover or a first-timer, here’s why Masuta’s crispy creations are a must-try.
What Is Tempura and Why It’s So Popular
Tempura is a classic Japanese dish where seafood or vegetables are lightly battered and deep-fried to a perfect golden crisp. Unlike heavier Western fried foods, tempura is known for its light, airy texture and clean finish. At Masuta, we elevate this tradition with premium ingredients and expert technique, delivering tempura that’s crunchy, flavorful, and never greasy.
Shrimp Tempura: Crispy, Juicy, and Always Fresh
Our Shrimp Tempura is one of the best-selling dishes on the menu—and for good reason. Each piece is made with plump, tender shrimp, lightly coated in our house-made tempura batter, then fried until delicately crisp. Served with your choice of soup, salad, or rice, it’s a complete meal that balances crunch with umami.
Why locals love it:
- Sourced from high-quality shrimp for freshness and flavor
Fried to order—never soggy or overcooked
- Pairs perfectly with a cold beer or sake
Chicken Tempura: A Crunchy Spin on a Comfort Classic
Looking for something hearty yet light? Our Chicken Tempura is a standout favorite among those craving comfort food with a Japanese twist. Tender strips of chicken are dipped in the same signature tempura batter, creating a satisfying contrast between the juicy inside and crispy shell.
Ideal for:
- Guests who prefer meat over seafood
- Kids or first-time Japanese food diners
- Pairing with our house-made dipping sauces
Customization & Sides: Your Meal, Your Way
Each tempura dish at Masuta is served with your choice of:
- Miso soup

This allows you to tailor your meal to your taste and enjoy a well-rounded dining experience—whether you’re sitting down for lunch, dinner, or a casual snack.
