Bring back the happy burger!

Eric and I are Masu East regulars, especially during happy hour when some of their food items are half off. We have been singing the praises of Masu’s Kobe Beef Burger for a year now and have introduced it to countless friends.

It is a bit strange that one of the best items on the menu at this sushi restaurant is a burger, but it’s so magically delicious. Plus it used to be only $7 during happy hour…a steal to say the least.

Then The Oregonian had to go and spoil it. They named Masu’s burger as one of the best in town. So long happy hour menu…the burger is now only full-price at $14.

So I plead with you, Masu, bring the burger back to happy hour!
