    Chirashi bowl
    Hani K.

    Thought it was not bad at all, a little underwhelming, but food tasted good nonetheless. Service is nice, very calm inside nice for a casual lunch. The restaurant is a little small so the seats are pretty close, I could hear the conversation next to me, but it can't really be helped, just something I noticed. I thought the price was not too bad, especially for seattle, lunch plate was ~14 and chirashi bowl ~19 rounding up. Otherwise a cute spot and plenty of dessert shops nearby for a sweet treat after.

    Musashi's chirashi bowl is legendary! Relative to other top notch places, its chirashi bowl is so reasonably priced, and the quality of the fish is soooo solid! Just take a look at the picture yall. As always, the salmon and hamachi were the favorites for me, but even the ahi was not bad at all (I feel like Seattle just doesn't have that great of quality when it comes to ahi). Note: seating is super limited at this location so take out might have to be the move. Definitely check em out!

    The space and their dish ware were all super cute. We went on a Saturday afternoon and it was pretty chill in there and got our food fairly quickly. We got the chirashi bowls that tasted very fresh and presented in a pretty bowl. I loved all the sashimi, and they gave us complimentary tea. The bowl isn't super filling if you are coming in hungry but it was good quality and a fair price.

    Musashi's is a staple sushi spot with consistently good quality fish at super reasonable prices. But you get what you pay for! The nigiris have waaaay too much rice and the rice is not that great. But can't beat the fish quality for the price. Service is also good. You order and pay at the counter. The food came out super quick as well. Will continue coming here for sure. But took off a star because of the rice which is such a simple issue to fix.

    Barely seared 1 Piece Seared Salmon Sushi
    A C.

    I called in an order, which was captured incorrectly - I ordered seared salmon nigiri, in which I showed up and it was fresh salmon. I politely let the person at the front know that I had ordered seared. He talks to a lady in the back, who gives me a very expressive disgust look like it was my fault and tells me "it's too late". I let her know that I ordered seared salmon when I called, and that I wasn't changing the order last minute. She comes to the front and makes it a point to say "you're paying more now (assuming price change for searing)." Then goes back and half sears the salmon in the to go container (hardly seared at all) and give it back. I didn't want to make it a bigger deal there, so I just left with barely seared salmon. She was rude, dismissive, and appeared to blame me for their mistake. It's sad as I've been going there for years, but sadly, after being treated so poorly, I'll find sushi elsewhere.

    Musashi's always been a great Seattle staple for sushi ever since I've grown up here. They've always had a great reputation for good value for what you get, and that's been maintained even when ownership changed. They've now got more locations but this Wallingford location has always been the original that you can count on. The chirashi bowl at $18 is a steal, giving you great portions at a cost lower than other sushi restaurants. I also had the California roll, which a larger and different than other places. Overall this is a great place to Seattle sushi.

    Went here for lunch on a Friday and the place filled up pretty quick, def seems like a popular to go spot. We ordered a bunch of dishes and they all came out pretty fast. The service was nice and quick. It's a nice spot with lots of windows and a handful of tables and we liked the vibe. Overall everything we had was good, the sushi pieces are larger than I expected. The California roll had egg in it which I wasn't used to and not sure if I like but more bang for your buck. I was also a bit disappointed rhat they didn't have any fun or unique spot but I also appreciate how it's just good basics. Would go again!

    Really great price for the quantity of fish! We ordered a hamachi collar, which luckily they had, as well as a chirashi bowl & ebi/hamachi rolls! They were all great dishes and definitely packed with fish--the chirashi bowl was definitely huge and the fish to rice ratio there was perfect. The rice is a little heavy for both the hamachi roll and shrimp/ebi nigiri, but it was fine! We were seated relatively quickly and enjoyed our meal with some tea. Great experience!

    Lunch Sushi Nigiri
    Tiffany T.

    My husband and I visited Musashi's the last time we were in Seattle based on the rave reviews. Overall, we had a solid visit but I gotta say our nigiri looked nothing like many of the photos that looked beautiful and fresh. In addition, they were out of one of the orders of octopus nigiri, and asked us if it was okay after they already served it to us, which I felt forced us to say yes because we didn't want it wasted when they already made it. They should have asked first IMO, and we would have just omitted the item. The skewers were alright, not much to write home about. It was a decent stop for lunch, but based on the quality for lunch I'm not sure I'd return the next time I'm in the area - although it is very affordable IMO

    Chirashi Bowl
    Hanna K.

    Cute little restaurant with limited table seating. It was about 80 degrees outside the day we visited and we walked over to find the place did not have AC. It was very hot and the water they provided was also room temperature tea. The tea itself was good and we did separately ask for an ice water. Maybe because of all the heat, eating the raw fish didn't taste as great as it looked. The fish seemed to be fresh but was also room temp and the rice was the vinegar sushi rice but no other sauce which was fine. The eel, I could not eat because it was slimy and felt half cooked or old although it was the only thing cooked in the dish. The portion was good and they were picture perfect.

    Chirashi Bowl
    Sophie C.

    Would want to give this place 3.5/5 stars! Came for the chirashi bowls recommended by a friend. Good value for the amount of fish received/how thick the slices were. All under $20. We liked the salmon that tasted pretty fresh and buttery. Shrimp, unagi, albacore, and yellowtail were solid as well. Tuna however had an unexpected fishy after taste, which made my overall impression lower. Service was fast and friendly. We even received complimentary miso soup because they ran out of hot tea!

    Their website says they are closed on Sunday and Monday. Is this accurate?

    Are they currently open for dine in?

    No, takeout only again.

    What fish on the menu are wild caught?

    How much is omakase?

    They don't have Omakase. But what you can do is ordering Chirashi bowl without rice so it's basically just sashimi alone for $15.50

    Is there a parking lot here?

    Not at the restaurant itself. There is typically a good amount of street parking available in neighboring residential streets.

    Is it the same one in East side?

    They have a location in Factoria

The sushi rolls were mostly rice with little fish. I would skip getting any of them. The carpaccios were interesting... not really what I was thinking when I order carpaccios at other restaurants but the fish was good quality and the sauces paired well. I liked the the yuzu sour! It was so tart and fizzy, whereas the lemon sour mostly tasted like water. They are really just known for their decor, which is indeed super cool. The ambiance is very fun. It can get super busy so make a reservation, especially if you have a bigger group coming. I think it would be a fine place to get drinks and maybe have a bite or two, but the food is not really worth it in my opinion.

We ordered only from the happy hour menu because they had a ton of good sounding options there. The yakiton came first and was really greasy and black peppery. The yakitori meat was smaller than the chicken skewers I've gotten at Southeast Asian restaurants in the Seattle area, but these ones had a softer texture like teriyaki chicken. The kalbi beef was inconsistent. One of our plates had large pieces, while the other plate was full of small pieces. The smaller kalbi was drier. The bigger kalbi was chewier. I'd stick to ordering kalbi from Korean restaurants where the meat is more tender and easier to eat. The best item we ordered was the crispy chicken wings. They really were crispy - nothing like I've had before in terms of crispiness. Next time I would try the JFC to compare. Something that I didn't like was that they put both orders of the wings on the same plate instead of splitting them up. They split up the kalbi plates, but nothing else. It was ok to combine the skewers because they're so tiny, but the wings were almost falling off the plate they were on and very close to being a bad jenga situation with how they were placed.

I waited and brought it up again and was met with visible annoyance. Another staff member eventually mentioned that employees use a sink in the kitchen. I asked if I could use it. Shortly after, soap appeared in the bathroom with no acknowledgment or apology. What concerns me most is this: if the customer-facing restroom had no soap during the dinner rush, and the response to being asked about it was irritation rather than urgency, what does that say about how handwashing is handled behind the scenes?
