Musashi's in Wallingford is truly the OG place. I have heard about it for so long but never made the drive up. We ordered it for pick-up at 8:20 pm, worrying that we were cutting it close since they close at 9 pm. However, when we got there, the food was already ready for us. The inside is small but cute, and the employees were friendly. Now, onto the chirashi bowl. It was so yummy. The portion size was extremely large for $17.95 of pure fish. The salmon, in particular, MELTED in my mouth and was some of the freshest salmon I have had in the PNW. The eel was perfectly seasoned and was not too salty and sweet. Tuna often tastes iron-y to me, but this was not one of them. Overall, can't believe that this little takeout spot has some of the best fish in seattle. this is a must go read more

Awesome spot for both lunch and dinner. Service is quick, and takeout is always ready on time. The salmon here is some of the best I've found in Seattle. Their lunch and dinner specials offer great variety at a good value. Aside from the salmon, my favorite is the eel, both the bowl and the roll. If you're a fan of salmon and eel, this place is a must-try. read more

BEST Chirashi bowl in Seattle (in my opinion). 1. Very reasonably priced for a chirashi bowl. 2. Fish is FRESH. I feel like I'm someone who is sensitive to the "fishy" taste of fish (you know what I mean!), but the pieces here were incredibly tasty. 3. Variety! You can even make substitutions if you were less interested in certain pieces. 4. Fresh salmon, seared salmon and smoked salmon (so amazingly good)! I will certainly be back and would recommend this for anyone looking for a quality Chirashi bowl. read more

Some of the finest, freshest fish around which makes each chirashi bowl so wonderful. I think the go-to order here is a chirashi bowl, customized to your liking or don't customize and get an assortment of sashimi. Salmon, tuna, yellowtail, albacore, unagi, shrimp, shrimp, and roe are included, but you can specify only select ones and you'll get the same amount of fish but less variety for yourself. When I first came, I wanted to try everything. I've tried the harusame salad, some skewers, various sushi rolls, a chirashi bowl, and a chicken teriyaki plate but have now changed to only the chirashi. Everything is solid, but the chirashi just can't be beat whereas everything else can be found elsewhere. Always ask for some spicy mayo on the side too! The rolls are solid with help from the amazing fish they serve, but they aren't too special compared to other places. I don't like how they use skewers for the teriyaki plates because it's an extra step for me when eating, but tastes amazing. Once again though, the chirashi bowl is the star of the show and I haven't found many other chirashi bowls that compare. A chirashi is so simple, sushi rice with fish and ginger, but they do it so well here. Like a few others here, the cashier during COVID can sound a bit annoyed at times and grumpy but he listens well and takes your order right. Service used to be super friendly before COVID when dining in, but I understand it's super busy here and he can get frustrated being the only cashier dealing with who knows what visitors come. read more

Heard good things about this restaurant and decided to order takeout for dinner. The portions were great and presentation looks good. We ordered the chirashi bowl, sushi nigiri platter, and spicy tuna roll. The chirashi bowl contains assorted sashimi over rice fresh salmon, tuna, yellowtail, albacore, broiled eel, scallop, and flying fish roe. The broiled eel was my favorite that the fish was soft to the bite and not too sweet. The scallop was very small in size and didn't taste fresh at all. The sashimi slices were thick but it didn't taste fresh. Not sure if the car ride during deliver made the sashimi/rice warm that may altered the taste. The sushi nigiri platter includes 1 tuna, 1 yellowtail, 2 prawns, 1 albacore, 2 salmons, and 4 pieces of assorted rolls. Similar as above, the fish doesn't taste fresh and lack flavor. The prawns were not sweet. Some of the pieces were chewy. The spicy tuna roll tasted kind of the plain and wasn't spicy at all. read more

This was one of the most disappointing experiences I've had in a while. We got take out, which wasn't ready when my husband arrived. They told him he had to wait outside, even though the restaurant was empty and it was 35 degrees outside. Rude. The rolls were flavorless, they provided a tiny amount of wasabi and pickled ginger, and the unagi nigiri had a full layer of uncooked, rubbery fatty skin. Gross. We don't get take out often anymore because of the expense, and this makes me want to limit my purchases to establishments where I know exactly what I'm getting versus trying something new. I would have preferred to send a private email to writing a Yelp review, which I have never done before, but there's no email address available. The fact that I'm writing a public review is evidence of how disappointing this experience was. read more

Came to Musashi's looking for an inexpensive chirashi bowl. It was so good that I ended up coming back a couple of days later. $17 for a customizable bowl of chirashi is pretty unheard of, not to mention how good the fish is. They also use sushi rice in their chirashi bowl, which is always a nice touch since not all places do that. I had ~18 pieces of fish in each chirashi bowl, and the slices of fish on the nigiri were also quite thick. Musashi's was tasty, inexpensive, and provided sizable portions. Don't know if there's more you can (reasonably) ask for. read more

Haven't been back to Musashis in a couple of years. But got the chirashi bowl and it still hit the spot! Food quality was great. The price is a bit high in my opinion (17.95) for the size. But the quality of fish is very good and very fresh. Currently they only have a couple of indoor seating tables that fit 2 people (we had three so it was a bit cramped). The service was also not very pleasant. The cashier/ hostess seemed pretty annoyed and acted like we were a nuisance. read more

The chirashi here is relatively inexpensive. The rice tasted good and the sashimi pieces were quite thick - I loved it! I don't think they allow Apple Pay so be sure to have a credit card or cash. I wish their hours are longer because they are closed on Sundays and operate only a few hours midday/evening. I'm in the area most often on Sundays so it would be nice if they can open on Sunday. Besides, it's a good deal so I'll probably make the effort to get there another time. read more

The prices here are GREAT!! You probably won't get these prices for that quantity anywhere else in the city! Although their menu is quite normal and straightforward, it's a great place to takeout from. The onigiri was only $5 for 2 big pieces. I added some of my own sauces later for more flavor but the salmon inside was soo fresh. The shrimp tempura roll was also basic but a lot of food for what I paid. Thoroughly enjoyed my meal and was stuffed for only $15!!! read more

I order food from MuSashi's very week Via Uber Eats. I never get the utensils I order and orders are regularly wrong or missing items. I called tonight to give them Feedback after my order was incomplete. A man said there's nothing we can do, the order has been delivered and hung up. What a great way to treat a loyal customer who is trying to provide some feedback on them and Uber eats... make that an ex-customer. read more

Musashi's is definitely one of my go to spots when I'm craving some sushi. I love how quick and convenient it is to pick up food here. I've had the chirashi bowl, nigiri lunch special, seared salmon nigiri, spicy tuna roll, and unagi roll. All which are really good for the quality and price you pay! The cuts are big and I am always full and satisfied after I finish my meal. Currently there is still no indoor dining and they are only doing to go orders. Parking can be a little tough depending on when you go and they are cash/check only so keep that in mind when you stop by! read more

It was a much smaller building than I was expecting. At first there was only one other party than mine and we could hear what each other were saying. So as far as the space itself, it wasn't my favorite. The food was good, but not great. Overall for the price it is a solid option. Very large rolls, but a little loosely rolled. Great location in the Wallingford neighborhood, very accessible. read more

Great pricing on dinner sushi nigiri; might initially seem like a small portion but it ended up being perfect for me (5'9 guy). Nigiri pieces were sizable, probably could take a couple bites each. Buddy got the chirashi bowl, looked solid. Again, really great pricing for sushi but took a star away due to the fact they do not use sushi vinegar in their rice. Huge part of sushi in my opinion but understandable element to take away, to keep cost down (and simplify rice-making process). Great service: responds quickly over the phone for takeout orders, complimentary hot tea, quick when eating in the restaurant too. Very small spot -- like 4 or 5 tables that can sit 2 ppl each. read more

Was up here with friends for a weekend wedding coming from LA. Was recommended this place if we couldn't get other sushi we wanted for the quality and price. I wouldn't say that we found either. Place is super small and we came maybe an hour before closing and they said they couldn't take us inside. We had to get the food to go and take it to gas works park. We all got chirashi bowls and they look nice in the pictures, but were far from that. From what I've seen in recent reviews regardless of the location, everyone says the quality has gone way down. Maybe it was good pre-pandemic. You get huge portions of fish, the cuts aren't great, and the cuts are rough. The fish doesn't melt in your mouth and didn't seem super fresh. When you order a chirashi bowl you should be given sushi rice. Here you get a huge slab of regular unseasoned dry rice. Nothing that we ordered was good. Bland everything and you are charged for the quantity, not the quality. I'd much rather go to Seattle Fish guys. This place was a huge letdown for us and we know Seattle has great sushi/seafood. Maybe we are spoiled in LA, but this place isn't it. Not worth it for the price regardless of the portions. I'm not sure why it's getting good reviews at the moment to be honest. read more

Musashi's unfortunately wasn't my favorite. In this horrendous 90 degree heat, the only thing my partner and I wanted to eat was some sushi. He got the dinner plate and I got the chirashi. The sushi rice in both was barely seasoned, and I didn't think the fish was that fresh. The tuna was so tough I couldn't even bite it in half, and I'm not sure what the other two white fish were on it but they were also both tough. The eel was okay and the salmon was the best thing they had but still not great. It is cheap for chirashi, which is the one plus, but for just a couple dollars more you can get Fremont bowl's chirashi which I think is far better. read more

Found this spot recently and I absolutely love it!! The food is affordable (you pay in advance and they come to your table with the food afterwards) the sushi is yummy and they have large portions so it's super worth your money and time. It's a tighter restaurant so if you don't like cramped places maybe not the place to go but in my opinion I'd consider it cozy. Absolutely reccomend!! read more

Takeout only. Didn't see any updates and we drove down and were informed not available for dine-in.

We ordered delivery through grub hub. It took a while to get here, but that's not surprising. Even with leaving out the seaweed salad, I am still giving 5 stars. The food is just so straight-forward and delicious. We don't need fancy rolls with insane names, we want some great quality basic sushi. We got the California roll, spicy tuna roll, salmon and cheese roll, avocado roll, salmon sashimi, yaki onigiri, harusame salad, and edamame. To say that they have the best tasting avocado roll is an understatement, and their salmon is the best in the city. 10/10 highly recommend. read more

Super cheap and yummy Japanese food! Came here right when they opened on a rainy Wednesday night. We were the 2nd table to be seated. Apparently they're known for their cheap chirashi bowls, but I'm not a fan of seafood (don't hate me!) so I opted for the sukiyaki beef bowl. I was feeling nostalgic, and I used to have the sukiyaki beef tv dinners all the time as a kid. Their dish was definitely steps above tv dinner status though! There was plenty of marinated beef, the onions were cooked to perfection, and that sauce! Everything the childhood me ever dreamed of. The restaurant is quite small, but there was barely a line even by the time we left. But checking out the pictures posted by other reviewers, it's best not to risk it and get here early. Street parking only. Located on a nice street that had plenty of other places to check out, but sadly I was not equipped to deal with the rain. read more

Terrible Pretty simple I had a spicy tuna roll, unagi and yellow tail The yellow tail fish was good but the rice was dried out like it had been made a while ago, the unagi was good but the rice was dried out, the spicy tuna was dry, not spicy and tasted fishy...yuck.

Was pretty disappointed. Seattle has such a great sushi scene I'm not sure how Musashi stays open. Maybe its their cheap prices. You get what you pay for.

I ordered a takeout order and went home to share with my family. I suddenly realized my Chirashi bowl was lacking a few ingredients, only containing 5 different kinds of seafood while advertising 7. It was clearly missing the scallop and the eel and it was never explained to me when I picked up the order. Good food but this is unacceptable. read more

Saw another Yelper's (shout out to T L.) review for Matsu. I liked it cause we both agreed that Matsu wasn't great. Consequently, when his review recommended Musashi's, I had to try it out. I made it an Uber Eats lunch. Had to wait over an hour for delivery so I was getting a bit irritated. I went with 6 pieces of ikura nigiri and 6 pieces of saba nigiri. Presentation was on point. All the pieces looked great. The ikura was a tad above okay. It tasted fine but the eggs were on the smaller side--- I prefer larger eggs with more juice inside. The saba was EXCEPTIONAL. Large pieces of fish, good amount of vinegar marinade, and perfect texture. I wish I had gotten 12 of those alone. Will definitely order from them again. read more

***CASH ONLY*** Came here to try the Chirashi Bowl since that seems to be the most popular entree here. Came in around 7pm on a Friday and had to wait about 30 minutes for a table. The inside of this restaurant is TINY. Like ridiculously tiny. I would not recommend coming here with a group larger than 4... Saw a lot of people order take-out while I was waiting. After being seated, we ordered the Chirashi Bowl (I asked to substitute my shrimp with more salmon and they were very accommodating). Was this the best Chirashi Bowl I've ever had? No. But for $16 it wasn't bad and pretty filling. I thought my rice was fine (not hard like some reviews have noted), and the fish was decently fresh! I also ordered a piece of Amaebi to try (cheaper than most places I've been to by ~$1). However, because it was cheaper, they don't fry the heads for you so that was disappointing. I won't be coming out of my way to eat here since I live in the city and there are tons of sushi restaurants, but it was worth trying out! read more

CASH ONLY. This was my favorite restaurant while I was in Seattle. The prices for the value you're getting is unbeatable. Truly. Street-parking only but was able to find a 2-hour residential street spot. I tried the Special Bento which was the lunch $12.50 price and thought this was an incredible value for the amount of food I received. The chicken & beef skewers were cooked to perfection accompanied by the teriyaki sauce, yum! They also give you a fair amount of sashimi. GREAT DEAL. My friend got the Chirashi bowl and was really happy. Large portion size and thick cuts of fish. delicious. The rice was great as well. We also tried the Sweet Shrimp ( ama ebi) and Scallop pieces. The scallop is definitely the better option of the two. Huge pieces and delicious. The sweet shrimp was not as sweet as we would have hoped. Must-eat in Seattle! read more
