Was a little hard to find with the Yelp directions but the restaurant is a great place for sushi lovers. Good selection of sake and beer and the rolls were excellent. Hoping to go back this week. read more

Musashi IFSC - Excellent sushi roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Dublin, D

In Ireland on holiday and got in late so as a group we decided to order and pick up. The person taking order was very nice and patient. She answered questions and took our other even though it was 15 minutes before they closed. The food was all great and looked great also. I ordered the vegan spring rolls and the vegan tofu bento box. It was a nice portion to share. We were so hungry and it all looked so good that I forgot to take a picture. We will be here a few days so if I get a chance to go back, I definitely will. read more

Stuffed my face with yummy food from this nice Japanese restaurant in a great IFSC location. Freshly made food, a friendly server and a lovely interior that goes well with the theme. All food we tried was great. Miso soup, chicken ramen, squid tempura, vegetarian futomaki, yasai gyoza (veg gyoza) all were delicious. The yasai gyoza was so yummy that I had a second round even when I was full already. I couldn't stop eating! Loved it! Full marks to them! Glad I had to walk home after eating so much... read more

Musashi IFSC is my easily my favourite Japanese restaurant in Dublin - it boasts an elegant, spacious interior with really comfortable seating, excellent service, really friendly wait staff and serves incredibly fresh, beautifully presented food. In short, I am a fan in a major way! On any occasion when I have eaten here (and they have been numerous) I have been blown away by the food - their sushi, sashimi, noodle and rice dishes are superb and are great value in comparison to some of the other Japanese eateries in the city. I have to give a special shout out to their gyoza though - they are earth-shatteringly delicious and I don't think I've ever been able to bypass them on the menu when eating here. The pork and prawn varieties are especially scrumptious - that such inconspicuous, delicately dainty, beige parcels are harbingers of flavour on such an epic scale, is a culinary epiphany that I can't help repeating on a fairly regular basis (I may have a slight gyoza addiction in case you hadn't noticed haha!) Musashi, I have so much love for you!! read more

I've been to this place easily two dozen times and have failed to give a review. That was remiss of me. I am not going to leave a big review for Musashi. I am just going to say that's it's my favorite restaurant in Dublin and if I could I'd give it more than five stars. It's cuisine matches anything in Japan (am shortly back from two weeks over there!!) Their lunch menus are amazing value, so filling and tasty. I'll be back many many more times too!! read more

So there are two Musashi restaurants in Dublin. The first visit was in the city center and it was a disaster. Read my review here: http://www.yelp.com/biz/musashi-dublin-2?hrid=X8Kljvg5_nc-e7kcBa3ZkA It seems that Musashi has redeemed themselves here. This time Jon Jon was allowed to stay. My family came to visit me and we had a wonderful evening. Food is amazing, we had rice with Tofu and avocado sushi. Everything was really fresh and healthy. The guiozas were truly the best item on the menu. Atmosphere is relaxed and seems romantic yet also designed well for a group. Manager heard my story with first Musashi and apologized deeply. read more

Some months ago when I found out that Musashi was opening here on Mayor Sq. I was absolutely thrilled. I waited for weeks for the opening date and now that they're here, I couldn't be happier. While you look at the menu you'll be greeted with a complimentary cup of green tea, and I've even saw them offer it to people waiting for their take way orders, which is a lovely gesture towards their clients. The menu is extensive, with sushi, tempuras, gyosas, noodle and grill plates. I'm yet to try something I didn't like. The portions are always plentiful. Some of my favourites here are the tuna steak, the yasai tempura and the sushi selections. For dessert there are a few ice cream scoop flavours for €1 each and some cake slices; the banoffee pie is generally a good choice. And as if the quality of the food wasn't enough, it's great value for money. The drinks list was recently updated and now they have a lot of wines on offer, alongside some beers, juices and the inescapable sake. The restaurant itself is still lacking something in terms of character, with its dim lights and smooth polished surfaces. But maybe it's just a matter of time until they start adding some more decorative details, as they grow older. The background music is usually bossa nova, easy going and not too loud. They're certainly a welcome addition to the IFSC, especially because they stay open serving food until late - my problem with some of the businesses around the area is that they close too early or don't even open at all during the weekend. Musashi - and to that matter also its Italian neighbour, Il Fornaio - proves that there's people around the IFSC willing to go out in the area if only there's something offering quality there. Whenever I feel like being pampered with some nice food without breaking the bank or going too far from home, this Musashi is where I end up. read more

I love Musashi and Capel street and me and my friend stumbled upon this place by total accident after trying J2 sushi which was fully booked. The menu is somewhat smaller than the Capel street branch, and the main thing I liked here was the sushi despite the more limited variety. We shared Ebi gyoza, Unagi and Tamago (egg) nigiri sushi x2, salmon sashimi, Tako Sunomono salad and edamame, all of which were pretty good. I loved the salmon sashimi a lot, and the sunomono salad was better than expected. I wouldn't say this restaurant is authentic in the slightest and nor does it stand out from other Japanese restaurants, but it makes an ok attempt at trying to mimic Japanese food in that they are one of the few places serve ramen in addition to a bunch of the usual sushi. The only thing was that the selection is much less, and they only have salmon or tuna in terms of sashimi. However, the rest of the menu was just takeaway style food like yakisoba/udon, fried rice and tempura which was kind of a let down as I expected a few more healthy items on the menu besides just the sushi at a Japanese restaurant. A lot of the items were also practically the same, the only difference being whether it had meat, fish or was vegetarian. The prices are pretty high. We paid around 40 euro for the above which is expensive since we didn't order that much. The service was excellent and very efficient. Our food was quick to come and the staff were very polite, promptly clearing out each plate as soon as we finished the food on it. The atmosphere and location would probably be the main point about this restaurant. It's right near the quays and the Luas, the atmosphere was very lively on the Saturday night we came, and the decor is lovely. The place is also very spacious with two floors and plenty of seats, so usually reservations aren't that necessary. Overall: Ambience wins over the food here, but not bad in terms of quality. Food: 3/5 -doesn't stand out from the other hundred or so Japanese places in Dublin. Variety: 3/5 Price: A bit high Service: 5/5 Ambience: 5/5 read more

I was simply impressed! The first time I ate at Musashi was when it opened in 2014, I had lunch there and I wasn't impressed. My friends and I decided to try it out and I enjoyed the experience. The menu is extensive, too many good options to try. I ordered dumplings for starters and it was delicious! Followed with a fried rice dish. I ordered the house red wine which was nice and affordable. The manager asked us to move to make way for a bigger group and offered us free dessert to compensate. All in all great experience, good food, friendly staff and definitely going back. read more

And here is another gem in Dublin! A bit away from your usual social life part of the city, at the IFSC is Musashi. I have visited a few of the sushi restaurants in Dublin, and this restaurant is in my top three. Firstly I loved the ambience: very relaxed and spacious. Secondly the service: I found it was impeccable. It was quite attentive yet not overwhelming; I found it informal enough, and pretty much what I would imagine the Japanese culture to be, very discreet and yet friendly. Last but not least, the food! I do not consider myself an expert in Japanese/oriental food by any means, but to me, the food tasted as good as it looked. It was an absolute pleasure for both the eye and the palate! read more

I came here again for their bento box lunch special. Again I was the only person here as I went between lunch and dinner time at 4pm. Subsequently I can't review on the atmosphere!

We had the California, Salmon Avocado and Eel Avocado sushis, some Ebi Gyoza, and Edamame beans: it was quite nice but nothing out if this world either. The beans were unsalted (why, I ask you, why?!), which I think is a major faux-pas, but apart from that, the rest was nice. I particularly liked the eel, and I must say that everything was very fresh and well presented. Service was a bit slow: I waited 25 minutes for my take-away, which is too long given that the place was not busy, but I did get a cup of green tea during my wait. Oh and the brilliant free Yelp miso soup;-) (I do not enjoy miso soups but hey, you don't discard a nice Yelp reward: my friend helped me with it) Overall, if you are not too much of a Japanese food snob, this is a very decent place to go to and you'll enjoy the food. read more

Meh, should have gone for sushi! Was so disappointed with the lunchtime special. Bowl of chicken ramen, only came with two leaves of pak choi and a few mushrooms. Nothing else. Not even a soft boiled egg. The noodles were thin and tasted plus looked like they came out of one of those packets you just add water too. The chicken was a bit dry. Okay, it only cost 8.50, but I know some amazing ramens in town that only cost a tenner. I had total food envy of the tables beside us enjoying some lovely looking maki rolls. On a positive note: the edamame beans we shared were yummie, but it's hard to get that wrong. read more

While this isn't the worst offender I've seen for overpriced sushi, it's pretty clear that you're paying for location and ambiance above most else. Pretty much any typical sushi item you order here will be between 3-5 euro more expensive than what you'd get at a different location, which becomes particularly rankling when you see that their portion sizes for sushi are extremely small. The first time I went there, the server pushed their soft shell crab roll- one of the three specialty rolls available (which is pretty disappointing itself- your choices in the sushi department here are pretty much confined to small basic rolls and chef selection nigiri). It is topped with masago, primarily I suspect to hide the fact that the roll is 75% rice, 20% tempura, and 5% anything that might have ever been in a crab. It is a 7.50 / 14.99 plate of rice and tempura batter. Considering this is the only specialty roll they offer outside of "vegetarian" and the wonderfully vague "seafood" rolls, not to mention how much the waiter was touting this roll is pretty shameful. The rice and fish quality is basic. Both times I've one here it's been served up with a cut of white fish that had a rank aftertaste, and the second time they served a shrimp nigiri where the single piece of shrimp meat was substituted for two of the sickliest, slimiest prawns imaginable lying limply on a bed of rice. I really should have just thrown it away because it made me feel physically nauseous for the rest of the meal. I'm really surprised that this place has gotten the reviews it has, because for what it's charging the quality here is seriously sub-par. While the staff is friendly and the atmosphere is nice, at the end of the day it is just a layer of masago there to keep you from realizing that there's not much quality content inside. read more

I cannot speak highly enough about Musashi IFSC. Its everything that wasn't perfect about Musashi Capel St. Spacious and feels high end but with the same low prices. Great food, its amazingly fresh. We had lots of tuna and salmon nigiri, gyoza and light crispy tempura. And an incredibly lovely Spanish house red for (Only €20) The entire meal including a bottle of wine was less than €60 and we ordered MORE than we were able to eat! The staff here are incredibly friendly, plesant and helpful. It will become my new go to sneaky date night restaurant!! Its a 5 minute walk from Connolly station so its not out of the way but i would happily travel to eat here! read more

Love it!!!! I've now had Musashi as both home delivery and at the restaurant.. The food is great either way, but the restaurant is staffed by an incredibly attentive & friendly team and the service is very quick without feeling rushed at all! The fact that they are considerably cheaper than the local competitors is just the icing on the cake! Very happy and making this my new regular Japanese food stop! read more

We went here yesterday for lunch and it was amazing! They do a great lunch menu from 12 - 5 which is cheaper than from the full menu. We got a sushi selection which had a variety of sushi and sashimi, it was delicious. I got the cha han which is a fried rice dish with chicken, beef, prawns, vegetables and a fried egg on top. It was delicious. One of our party got the tsatutsa chicken which came with steamed rice and it was delicious as well. They have an outdoor seating area which would be lovely during the summer, when the weather is nice. It is a bit of a walk out of town but the Capel Street branch is always mad busy so this is a great alternative option to go for! Definitely worth the walk out of town. read more

This is, hands down, the nicest sushi I've ever had. Fresh and delicious, served by genuinely lovely staff, the food and service here never disappoint. And the prices are reasonable, too. Five stars - and I don't allocate those lightly! read more

Musashi IFSC - Free green tea - that's what I'm calling good service - Sushi Bars Near Me - Dublin, D

One of two very good Japanese restaurants in the area (other being J2) and of course, the sister branch of the ever-popular flagship on Capel St. A much more spacious venue with 3x more seating so definitely easier to get a seat here. Service does not suffer and waiters are attentive with your meals arriving rather quickly, even with the lunch rush hour. Bento boxes, yakisoba and cha-han were enjoyed with relish - quality was reliably good. However (!!) I think J2 is edged ahead as my favourite, what with the waterside location, a more authentic feel and a more adventurous menu! But you can't go wrong with either =D read more

We eat sushi a lot in the states. We like to think we know good sushi. This place was, hands down, the best sushi experience we've ever had, from staff to presentation to food. The rolls were perfect, the tofu steaks were seared perfectly in a fantastic brown sauce with vegetables, served on a sizzling platter. The tempura was crisp and perfectly cooked and the sauce was delicious. I could go on, but I think you get the point. If you like sushi and are in Dublin, this is a must! read more

It was our first night in Dublin and we were staying across the street and needed food quick. We were recommended to come here for good food and what a treat it was. We started with the cod avocado roll and a glass of wine. It was a perfect start. We both had ramen for he main course and it was hot and delicious. While you have to ask for a fork, the service was on point. If you want authentic Japanese food this is your place. I was I was here longer so I could go back. read more

We came upon here by chance - apparently they've only been open in this location for about a weeks time. They had a few lunch specials/early bird menu items to choose from (lunch special deals are available from 12pm to 5pm). My boyfriend and I both ordered off this menu - he chose the chicken ramen and I chose the Yaki Udon (stir fried udon noodles with veggies, chicken and prawns). The Chicken Ramen came with a HUGE piece of grilled chicken and veggies. The Yaki Udon was curried flavoured and it had loads of fresh veggies. I really enjoyed my meal. We also ordered a 8 piece unagi (eel) cucumber roll to share - yum! The ingredients are really fresh. Really nice server who took the time to chat and ask us to make and suggestions in case we see room for improvement. They do takeaway as well and told us will be doing delivery soon :) read more

If you find yourself in the IFSC at dinner time, there are only a few options, a quick glance at Yelp showed this to be one of the better ones, so we decided to give it a shot! And I'm really rather glad we did, the set up reminds me of those european cities that get urban living, you know where apartments are built in clusters around a courtyard with a few low key bars and restaurants - the IFSC is probably the only place this is well done, Musashi is a comfortable space, and shortly after we arrived the lights dimmed down the few large family groups left and the restaurant took on an altogether more relaxed vibe. On being seated we where swiftly brought a green tea from the house, and the wonderfully attentive staff took great care of us, and where on hand swiftly anytime we needed anything. I had a vegetable cha han, and my friend had a noodle dish, but where really fresh and tasty and better than the larger chain offerings of Wagamama, if maybe a little bit below Yamoori, that said, Sushi seems to be a focus and I definitely had neighbour envy when some sushi appeared at the next table! I'm going to make a point of returning here to try some sushi, and maybe a lunchtime bento box! read more

The Musashi for me is one the best Japanesse restaurant in dublin. The tempura is the best in Dublin. I love the Ebi one! The califormia Roll is really good as well, for the main course the Musashi Cha Han is a must! The rate quality - price is excellent. The place is elegant and spacious, they have two floors Highly recommended read more

I recently moved to Dublin, Ireland. I am constantly disappointed by the so-called Asian restaurants this area. I give two stars because despite the disappointing food, this place is very clean and modern. I like the ambience and I am satisfied with their service. Servers are very friendly and approachable. However, just because there is some rice and "exotic" vegetable or some raw seafood, it doesn't mean it's sushi. It takes years of practice to make a proper rice and when you make a roll it has to be done well. With that being said, the rolls I ordered were not wrapped correctly. It was just a combination between rice and something else. Ramen... Also a huge sigh. I am disappointed that it's not a Japanese place but a self-claimed Japanese place. This place would be good for people who don't know Asian food well. read more

Really great little Japanese restaurant. The seating is a bit tight, but the food is very good. You need to get the fresh salmon as they use very good quality fish. The curry and the yakisoba are also excellent. Good place. read more

Oh my the food in here is really good and if you can get in early you can get a great bento box deal. It is really good value and this place is usually pretty quite so it is a nice place to come in and chill and have a catch up with some mates.

Not very impressed. 10 minutes to just getting an acknowledgement at my table, 20 mins for order to come out - wrong, couldn't get server back to fix my order, no "how is it?", "need anything?", nothing..... then after waiting 10 mins to pay, I got up to leave and mysteriously a server appeared with my bill, which had the missing food from my order. Pretty sorry ass place. Edit: sushi is mediocre at best. read more

The restaurant has a very nice vibe to it. The people are very friendly and willing to accommodate. The service isn't amazing as my server forgot to bring me my miso soup. However the food is not as great as other reviews claim it to be. I ordered the tuna avocado roll and asked if it could be made spicy, the server said yes. When the sushi arrived it was accompanied by spicy mayo which wasn't what I asked for or was informed I'll be receiving. The roll itself wasn't amazing or very good at all. To follow it up I ordered the noodle dish that was recommended by the server and it was extremely bland. With 5 different veggies, two different protein and the rice noodles I expected the dish to be exploding with flavored, very surprised and disappointed it wasn't. If you're new to town like I am, I wouldn't recommend this place. There are far better sushi places right around the corner or simply more flavorful options. read more

Awesome place, I have visited the restaurant about five times with friends and relatives and never left disappointed. The decor is simplistic but pleasant, music is soothing, service is polite and it doesn't take too long to get the food. The quality of food is superb in my opinion, the rice is of the smoothest texture, the fish is very fresh, portions are generous (especially my favourite gyozas! Thank you!). I have gone to all Yamamoris in Dublin multiple times, Wagamama in Cork, Yo in the Dublin centre and J2 in IFSC but Musashi is above them all, although I definitely like the other restaurants too and they have the quirks I enjoy, Musashi seems to hit everything in just the right way. I have also ordered online from them as they do delivery and not only takeaway (a feature missing from the other places I mentioned). The delivery time is within the hour although it did happen that it took as little as 15 minutes to deliver on some occasions, I presume, less busy days. But on busy ones, 30-50 minutes is expected. In terms of customer support for this service it is superb, they offer chat support which I have used to check on the order (moment of starvation ^^) and they gave an estimate of 10 minutes more, which was precisely correct. On one occasion they have delivered 2 instead of 3 miso soups, but the driver called back within 5 minutes (literally as I started chatting into support) and came back within 15 to bring the missing part of the order and another miso on top of that as apologies - an overall positive experience as well. To all the staff and managers of Musashi, thank you for delivering a great experience both in terms of taste and interactions with you. It is not so common these days and I truly appreciate it. ) read more

This pace is fantastic; I've now been twice and was delighted on both occasions, once was a proper Friday night 8pm job, the other was midweek and only just 6- both times the restaurant was busy and had a nice chilled out atmosphere and the service is absolutely impeccable, The food is delicious, staff happy to make recommendations and for sushi really reasonably priced. A really excellent experience. You even get greeted at your table with green tea whilst you look at the menus, a nice touch. read more
