    Chirashi Bowl (Assorted Sashimi over Rice)*
    Sabrina P.

    My husband and I went to Musashi's on a Thursday night. We arrived at 8:20, and were told that in-restaurant dining had closed. We were a little confused given that Google gave the hours as open until 9, and the sign on the door showed 8:45 - this should be written somewhere to avoid future confusion. The online ordering window was still open, so we ordered chirashi bowls to go. The food was prepared quickly and we sipped on some lemon water outside while waiting in the plastic chairs lined up alongside the building. The food was decent, particularly for the price, but next time I would prefer to eat in-person given that the fish had warmed considerably during the drive home.

    i was so excited to try this place, especially seeing all the reviews, but i left very disappointed. what ruined it for me was the rice for the chirashi bowl -- the sushi rice was SO light, it was literally just plain white rice lol. i've never had such a bland chirashi bowl before. and the california roll was more like a kimbap. the only thing i really liked was the seared salmon nigiri, so if i were to ever come back, i would only get that. the rest of my party also thought everything was just ok. the restaurant is pretty small (and does not have AC), so don't be surprised if there's a wait. the food comes out fast though.

    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!

    Fresh nigiri and fish that'll make you coming back because it's so reasonably priced. Try their famous bowl and you will not be disappointed at the plethora and freshness this places brings. I'll keep coming back for this any day. Service is quick and the place is clean!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Lunch Sushi Nigiri

    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.

    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 food is where it all went south. We ordered ginger beer and the ginger beer wasn't true ginger beer (it was a soft drink with ginger flavor and almost 50 grams of sugar + all sorts of gums). Calamari 1/5 - this was one of the worse, soggy Luke warm calamari that tasted reheated. It sort of tasted like it was in a Tupperware for a while or cooked in rancid oil. Unagi Roll 1/5 - this is actually the worse roll I've ever had. The rice was like warm, the whole roll was mushy and tasted like spoiled fish oil. I've never had to spit out a sushi roll before and this was a first for me. The roll was cut Into super uneven pieces, some were unusually large and some super thin. It was so bad that unfortunately we had to send it back. Nigiri 3/5 - We got a selection of nigiri and it was better than the roll but still you can tell the fish quality just wasn't there. The salmon belly, toro, and others are supposed to taste buttery, but instead they were super stringy. I think the fish was fresh, but the quality was meh. We will not be returning here unfortunately and it's wild to see the amount of positive reviews.

I love this concept. I'm not much of a roll person bc it's always pricey and then you have to eat all 6-8 pieces, so this was right up my alley. We loved it so much, we came here 2x when we were in Seattle. And even our first time we had to get seconds. All the sushi from the beginning are rolls, and near the end they are nigiris. So save some space for the good stuff at the end. The first time during lunch hour, they kept restocking the sushi, and they even had bluefin tuna nigiri at the very end! Score!! I'm more of a nigiri person so I got half rolls and half nigiri. Of course this isn't like fancy restaurant sushi, but more of like casual dining sushi and bc there were so many people, it was fresh bc it was a high turnover. Sushi quality was decent. Reminded me of just like an AYCE sushi quality. You won't get sick, but don't expect Jiro Dream of Sushi quality here. lol. The other time we went was during dinner of 1 hour before they close, the selection wasn't as good as they didn't have bluefin tuna nigiri, but still worth it and didn't cost us an arm and leg to get sushi. I hope someone catches this concept in San Diego! It's so clever. Love it and would love to come back again.

The popular sashimi plate had sockeye salmon, scallops, king salmon, yellowtail, snapper, and shima aji. 3-4 slices per fish so total about 20ish pieces for $ 75 dollars. Also included salmon roe. Ask which fish is in the plate since it seems to change. Service was good. They serve distilled water which is appropriate for eating raw dish so you actually taste the fish and not the tap water. The star of the night was the miso black cod. Soft buttery and flavorful. Just enough miso to bring out the sweetness of the fish. Some may find it not flavorful enough. It depends on if you are looking for fish flavor or seasoning flavor in my opinion. The only down side is that it's a fatty cut of fish so by the third piece it can be a bit heavy. Ended up cutting the fat with a bit of lemon toward the end and using the shredded pink diakon. For the price of $ 17 dollars, it is quite a good deal as other spots in the area would charge more or give less.
