I have many memories of Chinatown, SF and LA, and 99% of them are family memories.
Strolling through
I still hear my ancestors

And this is only a small part of the menu!
The dishes are flavorful, delicious, aromatic, and hits home right in your heart.
Complementing my dining experience are
the floor to ceiling soft yellow walls which will exhibit local artists’ paintings,
the geometric lights,
the rustic antique wood floors,
and the melodic beats of jazz and blues.
The Grand Opening should be next week…
Follow Masa and Masacasa on Facebook for the announcement!
Here is another review from Masacasa Facebook page:
Hey everyone. We just happened to stroll in to Masacasa last night! Although they aren’t quite open just yet, they were having a “test run” with friends and family. Fortunately they invited us in to take part! We ordered the Chicken Teriyaki, Chicken Katsu, and Chicken Curry. They were all wonderful. Their prospective menu looks to be nice and simple offering japanese starters, a couple different types of sushi rolls and several main dishes. The main dishes come with brown rice, garden salad, potato salad, and miso soup. Their grand opening will be at the end of this month. Thank you Masa for the wonderful meals. We will be back often!

Dear Charlene,
We’ve met before somewhere in the Sky before the Universe expanded.
You the Sun. I the Moon.
I believe this with my whole heart.
Here on Earth, I have met you in the stories that Rain and Nora share with me.
You are here with us as I continue your legacy with Rain, at SunRain Productions.
You were a wonderful person and you were with us today in the park with Rain, Jon, Pixel and me.
We chased the wind.
We laughed. We breathed.
We celebrated life.
You infuse our hearts with beauty and joy.
You are dancing in the sky.
Thank you for being in our lives.
I wish I could have heard your human laughter, seen your human eyes sparkle, touched your kind giving human hands…
But I feel your warmth and your spirit when the Sun beams down.
And I feel safe under the tutelage of your wings.
I picked out one of my photos from Thanksgiving and I am dedicating it to you, Charlene, in your honor.
Honed, forged, rising from fire,
kicked by the heel of the moon,
the sun bows on mountains, it’s stage.
With flare she dances,
enraptures, romances,
pirouettes, prances,
with brilliance that never will age.
– Sun Flares by Sandra S Corona
Good night sweet prince
And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest!
Adieu adieu.
Adieu oh radiant angel and friend.
Never enough photos but these are the best ones when you would let me take them.
I love you Bogart.
