After hearing so much about this restaurant, I finally decided to give it a try. We had a reservation for 9:30 PM, which I thought was funny since they close at 10 PM. The interior has an intimate design and dim lighting. Great for catching up with friends or celebrating occasions. + Pork Sisig (4/5): Classic! Can't go wrong. Great portion and I love that it comes out on the sizzling skillet. Very hearty and full of savory flavors. You NEED to eat this with rice. Not up for debate. + Sinigang Na Lechon Belly (3/5): I've had better elsewhere, but it's not bad! Very rich and tangy broth. The various veggies were fresh and soaked up the broth well. The pork was the biggest let down for me. It was really tough and somewhat salty. I also felt this was a small amount for the price. + Short Rib Kare Kare (5/5): DELICIOUS! The short rib fell off the bone from being so tender. The beef was definitely on the fatty side. I loved the addition of grean beans and eggplant. It really balanced everything together. If I'm being picky, I just wish it had more peanut butter sauce! Overall, I wouldn't say this is a MUST TRY in Seattle... but it's definitely a decent choice if you're willing to splurge. The menu is quite unique and you get good quality dishes that are recommended for groups. Family-style eating!! read more

Sheeeeeesh, nothing makes me happier than seeing a pinoy restaurant excelling at their craft. I was visiting Seattle for the weekend and I had to put my friends on! Although Musang was operating at wildcat (their catering entity), the vibes were gorgeous. Nice mood lighting, great music (which wasn't too loud), and great service. The wait staff and the kitchen were too kind. We were celebrating my buddy completing his doctoral program and they served us bubbly. Onto the food, all of it was smack. The 10/10s included the Kare Kare, Pancit (different than your grandma's but like lucky me), and the pinakbet. The lumpia, the pompano, the chocolate and the bibingka mochi were not too far behind. My only critique would have to be the Laing because it diverts too far from tradition. Despite this. Everything was packed with flavor. Chhhhhheeeeeeyew! Make it snappy and head to Musang. read more

This Seattle restaurant brings you inside to dine in a Filipino home. Really - the dining is in a house layout and the walls are adorned wth paintings of Filipino scenes and they also have the wooden fork and spoon on the walls. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Dishes have all the components of Filipino flavors with tangy sweet, sour, savory, but "elevated" for a special occasion eating experience. I loved their sinigang - perfect for a cold Seattle night. The crispy gulay - veggies was another hit for me. Least fave dish was the ribeye (perfectly cooked but it just needed finishing salt). read more

Visiting Seattle with the family. This time around had to bring my family to try the modern Filipino food by James Beard nominee chef. Wish I would have brought our friends so we can order more in the menu. Since there are only three of us- we were limited on how much we can order since our flight back to vegas is later in the Evening. For starters, we ordered Lumpiang Shanghai and daing na talaba. My son enjoyed the eggroll. The oyster dish was delicious and flavorful. For our main entree I had to get the short rib Kare Kare and sisig. Both were so good. The Kare Kare didn't need extra bagoong (shrimp paste)- perfect with the garlic rice. Both dishes were so big that we had leftovers we brought in the plane and able to finish off for breakfast. We made room to try the tkocolate pandan cake. It was moist and flavorful. Can't wait to try the chefs collaboration with Filipino chefs this coming February in Vegas. Supporting Filipino chefs with their endeavors and pushing Filipino to American dining scene. Yes it's not your grandmother's cooking but modernizing it is great. read more

Moving to Seattle, Musang was on my radar well before we ever truly lived here and it even exceeded my wildest foodie dreams. The service was wonderful, you can tell how much the folks here care about the place & experience they're gifting to the community. They were incredibly helpful and I loved hearing the stories each dish told - truly each dish is art. We each ordered a cocktail, I had the Iron Goddess (with that name, how could I resist) and if you're a tequila lover I can't recommend it enough. Then for the food, we decided to stick with the smaller plates, as most of us are plant eaters and I'm gluten free. We ordered 4 plates and a side of rice with kari kari garlic chili crisp (which truly was just perfectly crispy and crunchy on that rice, MMM). Each one was absolutely spectacular, full of so many different flavors that all perfectly complimented each other (and look damn good while doing it). The desserts were so good that they were gone before I could even get a picture!! Don't forget about dessert!!! All in all, a truly special experience that I feel really reflects how the Filipino flavors and culture continue to transform the Seattle food scene. Thank you for sharing your food with us, Musang!! read more

My first time to try Musang on 8/31. We were a party of 6 people. And I was here for the first time and was excited to try out the fare to see if it would live up to the hype that is Musang. I have to say the food was wonderful over all. elevates Filipino cuisine yet it still had nuances of home made cuisine. Being born a and raised in the Philippines, I have to say the food was authentic enough with its modern takes. I have a few favorites, the Pinakbet Salad was a nice take on the traditional Ilokano vegetable Dish. Loved the texture contrast between the crisp veggies nestled in the squash dressing/sauce isnd finished with bagoong(shrimp past3 dust was very satisfying. I personally would want a bit more bagoong though. My other favorite was actually dessert which was grilled Mochi Bibingka (rice cake) topped with a creamed corn sauce. This was quite unforgettable. Loved the grilled taste coming through. We couldn't not stop eating it. We also ordered the Kare Kare, chicken Joy for my 9'year old nephew who devoured it, the Sarciadong Cod was really good too although I felt the sauce lacked a bit of flavor. My one comment on food was that all the sauces seemed to be one texture/ viscosity and so that made it a little too predictable. My one negative comment would be on service. Our server was this tall thin person whose name I did not get as he didn't introduce himself. Also, he didn't seem very engaging and friendly as we were debating on food quantity and was asking about share portions if it was good for 2 or 3 people and his answer was "well that's how we do things here at Musang" he didn't even ask if we had been there before! That kind of set the tone for the rest of the meal but thankfully there were real winners in the food. Would come back for the food but it certainly would have been more memorable if we had a better experience service wise as I feel it soured my first experience. All the other staff was friendly and entertained my questions. This is why my rating was only 3 stars and not higher. read more

Really delicious! We came back for seconds a week later. Really fun, relaxed atmosphere with delicious food and excellent service. We all loved the tempura app and tried one of each entree family-style. I loved the melon ice cream for dessert!! read more

Musang is a Seattle gem, highlighting food from the Philippines. Due to their amazing food, cozy atmosphere, and quick and attentive service, musang is a must visit in Seattle!! We really enjoyed our meal, from start to finish! The scallops' flavor profile felt very comprehensive with the leeks and creamy curry-like sauce. Not pictured is the adobong pusit pan it (squid ink rice noodles) which was a super cohesive dish. For any birthday goers, free dessert is included! The pandan flavor of the warm sticky rice worked super well with the free dark chocolate sorbet. Because of the higher prices, musang isn't a place we can visit often, but definitely worth the visit from time to time for special occasions! read more

Unfortunately I don't think this place is for Filipinos :( this is a great introduction to Filipino food. If you grew up with Filipino food you may be underwhelmed. We ordered: - Kare Kare: not as peanut buttery as I remembered growing up with - Adobong: muted adobo flavor - Mushroom sisig: also muted Service was not great either, our waiter wasn't very warm or friendly. I've never been to a Filipino restaurant where majority of the staff were not Filipino. Ambiance was 10/10. read more

First time for our group of 5 very hungry last minute demanding foodies ! After a long day of work and flights, we were hangry ! Mind you, Not your best customer type ! Lol We showed up 45 min early for our reservation, and they moved mountains and got us seated in 25. We were warmly welcomed ! While we waited, we enjoyed Lumpia on the porch , and it added to the already wonderful ambiance. Really Good peeps here Lumpia was the star of the appetizers with Canton noodles a very excellent product as well. We also did the tuna and ukoy apps. Yumm !! Wow ! Fresh and creative :) We had short ribs, black cod, and a ribeye special for mains, all 5 star well presented. Not a typical ribeye, precuts accompanied with a sauce that was stunning ! Cooked perfectly ! The entire collection worked impressively together - as we shared mains. Excellent ! Dessert looked great, but we were overwhelmed - next time Thumbs down on the stated %% add on, which is retained by the house to "help" employees. For us it was just an unnecessary statement. Charge what you need to charge, this food needs no excuse, good people will tip accordingly. We did. It was well worth it. read more

Very nice staff and appreciate the concept of elevated Filipino cuisine. I enjoyed the decor and ambience of feeling like you're inside someone's home. Felt the food was mediocre and does not match the price point. Cocktail menu was unique but drinks were nothing to write home about. The starters had better flavors in comparison to the mains. We got beef tartare, lumpia and pancit which was loaded with seafood. For mains we got the fried chicken, black cod and short ribs. None of it was bad but also did not blow us away either. read more

I had heard a lot about this restaurant with it winning a lot of awards and gaining notoriety so I wanted to check it out. We made reservations online ahead of time and were seated immediately for a party of two. LUMPIANG SHANGHAI ($14) - the portions for these were really good and the inside was meaty. I liked the vinegar dipping sauce. 4.5/5 SINIGANG NA LECHÓN ($26) - I liked the contrast between the crispy pork and its softness after being in the soup. The broth was sour from the tomatoes and the flavor was great. 4/5 FRIED CHICKEN AFRITADA ($32) - I thought it could've used more seasoning and the tomato-based sauce didn't really go well with the chicken. I think the sauce would've tasted better with pasta or carbs but not fried chicken. 3/5 SHORT RIB KARE KARE ($52) - for some reason I thought the ribs would be small but they were huge beef ribs. I liked the peanut butter sauce and the tons of fried garlic on top. It was super tender and I can see why it's one of their most popular dishes. 5/5 GARLIC RICE ($6) - self-explanatory but delicious with all the fried garlic. 4/5 For drinks I got the kasama mama ($16) which was good. One thing is I wish they had more cocktail offerings since they only have 5 on the menu. This place isn't big but it utilizes the space well and it has cool vibes. read more

First time in this gourmet filipino restaurant in the Seattle neighborhood. Reservation is a must since this place gets super booked. Came with the fam as my daughter has been raving about this place. Good food, good service, minimal decors. We got seated in the patio heated patio with roof. We ordered sinigang na lechon belly, inaloban na isda, short rib kare kare, dinuguan, cornbread bibingka is a must, taho musang style-not made the way i had it in the philippines. All in all, good food but pricey. Would definitely recommend. read more

Musang has everything you could want from a nice restaurant in the city. The service is fantastic as they have a very large staff making sure you are taken care of throughout the evening. The drinks are delicious. We each ordered two and every one we tried was excellent. And of course the food is delicious and you get to try several things. Our favorite dish was the Musang Joy Fried Chicken as is it came with a delicious gravy and it was nice that it had some pickles to help balance out the heaviness of it. The Pancit Canton noodle dish with chili crisp was also excellent and the Lumpiang Shanghai were also tasty and had a good crispy exterior. The one dish we probably wouldn't get again would be the Sisig which was a sizzling pork belly as it was too much fat for us and we'd rather try something else next time like one of the dishes with seafood. We also tried the Garlic Fried Rice and finished with the Roasted Banana Sorbet since we were full and just wanted a small dessert. This is a restaurant I am really excited to go back to and try again! read more

I've been wanting to come here ever since reading a news article about Musang, which boasts an elevated take on Filipino food. I loved the concept, as I've never been to a sit-down, multi-course Filipino restaurant, other than my grandmother's house :) The food itself was delicious. Some dishes were familiar with a bit of a twist, like the pancit, which incorporated mushrooms and pickled veggies, and some, like the Shanghai lumpia, tasted just like home. The scallops were a new concept to me, but delicious and unique nonetheless. The garlic rice was to die for! I've been trying to recreate it ever since visiting. Apart from the waitress mispronouncing one of the dishes (pancit), the staff seemed super well-versed in what they were serving. Everyone was friendly, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. read more

If you're looking for some amazing food and amazing service eat at this restaurant. The food was undescribable really except to tell you it was amazingly delicious. All the flavors were on point and everything was fresh. The service was beyond anything I've ever had really. The wait staff was so nice and friendly, even paid attention that it was my birthday, even though we didn't tell them directly they just overheard and brought me a yummy dessert. It was so kind if him. The ambience was comfortable and inviting To be honest it really felt like family there. I don't say that about any of the restaurant, but it really does feel like family in this place. I hear they have a brunch and I plan on definitely checking that out. read more

I would say 2.5/5 stars. My boyfriend and I decided to try this Filipino restaurant because he has never had Filipino food before due to having celiac and it is hard to find Filipino food made gluten free. We also saw this restaurant recommended by some food vloggers on YouTube. It also had raving reviews so we were excited to try. Service: we were able to get 2 seats at the bar on a Saturday night. The host was very nice and accommodating even though we didn't have a reservation. The bartender was also very nice and welcoming. She was very Informative as well about the menu. There was one lady who might be either a server or some sort of manager, she has some tattoos and Asian: while we stood there waiting to be taken to the bar seating, I asked her if the bar was full service. She said it was but gave sort of a slight attitude about it asking if we had reservations. I said no but that we were being seated. That rubbed me the wrong way bc I got the feeling they think they're too good for us to just be able to walk in and get a seat. Lol oh well. Food: going to be honest here.... Very underwhelming and sorry to say the reviews led us astray. While not terrible... I didn't see anything special about their food. If anything... flavors are not as authentic and seemed toned down from more authentic Filipino food I've had. It only seems "fancy" bc they put it on a pretty ish plate and over hyped. I've had way better Filipino food from a food court at the Filipino grocery store. Portions are big and meant to be family style so keep that in mind. For two people we ordered 2 entres and couldn't finish it. We ended up packing it to go (untouched leftovers) and giving it to a homeless person. Restaurant vibe was comfortable, nicely decorated and welcoming (except for that snooty lady). They charge a 18 or 19% (?) service charge and are up front about it by putting it on the menu and the bartender even made sure to mention it when she handed us our check. That was nice of her. read more

Truly amazing restaurant, from the service to the food to the cozy space! The restaurant is located in a converted house and is incredibly cozy. The servers were all so friendly, starting from the hostess but also the gal that refilled the waters, our waiter, and even the owner came around to all the tables to talk to us. In addition to the truly awesome service, the food was delicious!! We started with the adobo marinated olives which were a tasty spin to an appetizer. We also got the pancit which used Cantonese noodles giving it a creative fusion twist. Finally we got the clams (so amazing) and the Kare Kare (which is their signature dish)! We finished with the tiramisu, which I must say, is the best tiramisu I've ever had (and I'm Italian!!). To round it out, they surprised us with complimentary Babinka. 100% wish this restaurant was back in California so I could eat it all time. read more

Heard so many amazing things from locals and friends from the Bay so I knew I had to check it out. Early reservations are difficult to get so be prepared for a later dinner! We ordered a bunch of dishes (for me to try since my friend's been here quite a few number of times. Top highlights are the fried chicken afritada and short rib kare kare which make for a very filling and meaty meal. All of the flavors were new to me but it's very cool to see elevated Filipino doing so well in the community! Very comparable to Abaca in SF and I'd highly recommend both. read more

Seattle really has a gem of a Filipino restaurant w/ amazing flavours in Musang. The menu, a vibrant tapestry of Filipino cuisine, delivers an exquisite culinary journey. Their take and style of classic Filipino cuisine is quite unique and it was showcased in two of the dishes we ordered. Their rendition of Sinigang has a tantalizingly sour broth which cleverly incorporates tart green apple with a perfect balance of flavors, and is a must-try. Their pancit lomi is a wonderful noodle dish w/ plenty of hearty veggies in a delectable brown sauce. Make sure to order some garlic rice to sop up all the tasty gravy and broth from both of these dishes. The attentive staff members really went out of their way to ensure for an amazing dining experience. The warmth of Filipino hospitality combined with the symphony of flavors makes this restaurant a true culinary treasure in Seattle. Whether you're a seasoned enthusiast of Filipino cuisine or a newcomer eager to explore new tastes, this place is an absolute must-visit. Another positive is their proximity and closeness to the local transit line. We were able to take a short ride on the Link line from downtown to the Beacon Hill stop and walk to the restaurant. read more

Well this place was very hyped, so we went in with high expectations! Let's address cost up front, it's expensive! The food was good, unfortunately it wasn't great! The service was very good. Our server was attentive, kind and knowledgeable. I am disappointed because only two things stand out in my mind. #1. Pandesal - bread rolls. They were $9 for two small (two bite) rolls. They were served with homemade butter with flaked salt. When they arrived I was slightly upset because for $9 I expected a little more. Glad I kept an open mind! These were 10 out of 10. I would go back for these any day! #2. The atmosphere was cute and it was a nice setting for a date. read more

Sorry it's been a while. I wanted my 500th review to be special, and I've found just the one. Musang is an absolutely excellent choice to have a meal, no matter what you're craving. My first impression, admittedly, wasn't a good one. My first time here was in 2021. I WALKED here from Downtown Seattle with my brother, during the Pacific Northwest's worst heat wave in decades. It was well over 100 degrees, and after the 40-minute walk, we found that the place was closed due to heat. I'm from NorCal... that's an absolutely outrageous reason to be closed. Why didn't I call? I did. Nobody answered, which led me to believe that they were busy. So three years later I'm back in town for PAX and I give it another chance, this time with my girlfriend who doesn't actually care for Filipino food that isn't made by her family--and we came away more than impressed. We ordered the lumpia, pinakbet, short rib kare kare, sisig, and escabeche along with a couple of drinks. The lumpia and sisig were standard. The pinakbet? Let me warn you. Neither of us like ampalaya, or bittermelon/gord, but we couldn't taste it. Everything was so thinly sliced with and seemingly fried and sautéed with the essence of vinegar to block out the bitterness. It was truly a highlight. Fantastic must-order even if you don't like it! My short rib kare kare was very good. Nice and meaty and fatty where you want it. I think I still prefer oxtail as the main protein in my kare kare though. Some honey comb tripe too for that chewy texture I usually look for. But the best thing was it didn't require bagoong. My girlfriend ordered the escabeche, which is a fish dish I've never even heard of. A delicate fish was used and it was really good. She finished her serving which is always a plus. Me? I didn't finish at all. I brought my stuff home along with garlic rice. It was still good the next day but since I didn't refrigerate it I didn't risk eating it all. Musang is a place I'll always come back to. Maraming salamat! read more

Good things first: The service and ambience were both fantastic. Our server and the hostess were both very sweet and efficient and the dining room is super cozy (also small, you will be right up on top of the people around you). Unfortunately the food and value were just not it. Maybe it would be a good place for someone who's brand new to Filipino food to gently dip a toe in but I definitely had expectations based on reviews that it did not live up to. Everything was very expensive but the seasoning and flavors just were not there. Textures were good, presentation was pretty, but everything was so bland. I was surprised and really disappointed. The crackers with the kilawin were pretty but had no flavor and were so huge for the amount of meat they came with. The inaloban na isda was not good, the sauce was too thick and the fish was overcooked, also very little flavor. The sisig was ok but it tasted better reheated the next day when I fried it with more seasonings and added another fried egg. Overall: great service, pretty space, good textures, noooooo flavor, super pricy. read more

Still love Musang and we recently came here to try their new dishes and OMG get the Filipino spaghetti!!! That's a dish worth writing home about. I was super excited to try it after seeing it on Instagram and it was fantastic. Lots of flavor and really has that unique taste to it. We also tried this other paella-inspired dish as well as the tomato appetizer (forgot the name), and those were tasty too but the standout was really the spaghetti! read more

Seattle, Beacon Hill. August 2023. They say they are community driven and part of their mission is to educate people about Filipino heritage. The food is based on comforting dishes with creative and modern reinterpretations. Filipinos should be proud to eat their cuisine as it pushes the familiar boundaries and is elevated out of the cheap and filling food category. I really did not expect to find a place like this in Beacon Hill, in a residential house no less. It is a welcoming place with an open dining room inside, a bar for solo or walk in diners, and a covered outdoor patio in front. It definitely feels like you're eating in someone's home. The menu updates frequently to keep seasonal and fresh but a mainstay is the Short Rib Kare Kare. Two beautifully braised bone on ribs on a sweet and savory peanut butter stew w wonderful strips of eggplant and haricot verts. Another dish they should never take off the menu is their version of Pinakbet. Talong, kamota, ampalaya, watermelon radish, rainbow carrots are quick tempura fried. No lechon, and no bagoong liquid. Kalabasa is pureed to firm a thick liquid to coat everything. It might be hard to appreciate someone's family recipe after eating Musang's interpretation. The whole staff and service seems very family focused. To my surprise, a woman who was delivering food, bussing tables, restocking the shelves with cleaned tableware, and chatting with customers familiar and new was owner Melissa Miranda. When a person of her stature leads with this kind of example you know you are in a good place. I would make this a must stop on any return visits to the Emerald City. read more

Had an amazing dinner last night at Musang. So so glad I went! Cute location, cozy seating tucked into an alcove in the front of the restaurant. Great service. And then the food...three of us shared: - sinagang potato chips - 5/5 (although my friend said she didn't quite taste the tamarind), there was a large bowl of them that we didn't even begin to finish - kettle cooked, crunchy, almost like sea salt and vinegar - lumpiang shanghai - 4/5, very good lumpia, perhaps too pork forward for my preference in lumpia (tasted mostly pork hash) - kinalaw na hamachi - 5*/5, the grilled black sesame cracker alone gets 5 stars - such an interesting and substantial side on which to enjoy the very tasty hamachi and and cara cara pieces - tinamtuman - 5/5, manila clams and bamboo shoots in a curry-like spicy sauce - fried chicken joy - 5*/5, aptly named chicken joy, what is there not to love about double fried, rice flour dusted pieces of perfectly fried chicken in whatever loveliness is "kiki's gravy" - spring laing - 5*/5, asparagus topped sparingly with amazingly delicious creamy sauce (coconut and ginger) and fried shallots - how can something vegan, gluten free, dairy free be so good? - garlic rice - 5/5, it's rice, and very tasty, not too overpowering to offset the flavors of the chicken joy kiki's gravy and the spring laing sauce - mango float sansrival - 5/5, a unique offering of layers of what tasted like a very light mango cheesecake with the crispy crust of cashew and walnut dacquoise - rhubarb coconut sorbet with bb flakes - 5**/5 - oh my goodness!I would go back again just to eat this dessert. It was the perfect flavor combination and topped with the bb flakes (brown butter and graham cracker bits) made for just the right mouth feel. amazing. Next time I'm in Seattle I will have to come back to Musang for sure! I could eat the fried chicken joy, spring laing, and rhubarb coconut sorbet as a meal all for myself! read more

Musang has been on my hit list for a hot second and I was super excited to finally try it. You definitely want to have a reservation and from what I could tell, they tended to be booked out roughly 2-3ish weeks ahead of time. You might be able to snag something more last minute, if you don't mind eating at a more unconventional time like 9PM. Food is indeed solid, but definitely pricey. Restaurant can get a little loud since it literally just feels like someone's house got converted into a restaurant. Short Rib Kare Kare (4.5/5): Insanely tender, fall off the bone. Peanut sauce adds fattiness and nuttiness to the dish, which worked well with the vegetables. It was a little heavy, but definitely a must try. Sinigang Na Lechon (4/5): Super sour, tangy broth just to the point that it'll make your mouth pucker. Not the most generous with the pork, but it was nice and crispy, if a tiny bit stringy. Garlic Rice (3.25/5): Fluffy white rice, not as garlicky as I wish it was. Karioka (3.75/5): I ate most of this when it was hot, which was definitely a mistake. The mochi-like texture only really comes through after it cools down, otherwise it's oddly crumbly. Coconut aroma comes through really nicely. read more

My girlfriend and I were celebrating our anniversary and truly, couldn't have picked a better spot. From all the places we've tried in Seattle, and the greater area- we've concluded this is a top 3 gem, if not the best around. The ambiance was warm, inviting, overall beautiful. Service was great, attentive, super sweet. And dear lord the food. Oh god. To put it politely, so mf good. We had the mushroom sisig to start off- and my god it set the mood RIGHT. Perfect umami notes, a perfectly subtle hit of spice, and true flavor. Our main entrees were the Inaloban na isda as well as the Asobong Manok. I had the rockfish and I don't know if I can put into words how amazing it was, lemme just say I was spooning the rest of the plate to get every last drop. Got the garlic rice as well, and lord, I don't ever care for rice too much and this one told me to shut the hell up and start shoveling in my mouth. It's a necessity. My girlfriend had the chicken- I of course had to try and lord, they do not play here. We were told it was like being at aunties house and it delivered. Everything cooked perfectly, and if love was a seasoning- they absolutely marinated every piece in every dish they gave. I should mention that I'm gluten and dairy free as well- and everything was labeled on the menu clearly and obviously had so many options to choose from. If you're considering this place for a meal- please go. It's worth every cent. Beautiful beautiful place, couldn't be more grateful for such a perfect meal read more

First off, the staff is great and the food is always very good. That being said, it seemed like the number of menu items (entrees) was a bit smaller than my previous visits. And, like many restaurants today, where prices have gone up and/or the portion size has gone down, that has become somewhat apparent here as well. The restaurant itself was clean, although it can be a bit cramped. The ambiance is relaxing, but the noise level can get pretty loud. Parking is strictly street parking, but they are about one block from the Beacon Hill LINK Station, which is how I get there. Bottom line ... this is still one of my favorite restaurant in Seattle. read more

Stopped by in my trip to Seattle and had this on my to-eat list! At a glance our favorite things were definitely the cocktails. The crowd favorite was the lasing tea-ta due to the uniqueness of a boba style drink with alcohol. Early grey works well here with the brown sugar coconut milk The dishes came out promptly and all had their own flavor profiles but everything went well with the chili oil that they provided. (We grabbed a refill and they sell these!) I don't eat enough Filipino food to know what the heart of the original dishes are but definitely felt the TLC that went into our food. Overall a 4.5/5 for me due to general spectrum of flavors (things were a bit salty for my taste) but I can see this being a 5 for others! read more

Great experience with a group of 9. Musang was easy to book a group reservation with. They provided a sample fixed menu but we ended up just ordered a bunch of food a la carte on the day of. Everything was delicious and the service was very friendly. Would love to come back on a date night to get a different feel for the restaurant. read more

Really cool restaurant and great food! The restaurant is located inside an old house creating a unique atmosphere. They had several vegetarian options which we enjoyed. We were going to just get 2 of the dishes with a side of bread, but the server asked us if that would be enough, so we decided to get 3. Honestly, it was too much food for the two of us haha. But it seems like sharing a few plates between people is the norm. It is a bit pricy but I think it's worth it for a nice date night. read more

Very sad to report Musang did not live up to its hype for me. My husband and I ate here for my birthday, and although we loved the ambiance of the covered patio and our table, the food left a lot of be desired. We had the following: - Kinilaw: Good quality fish, but very bland. It could have definitely used a little bit of salt to make it taste like something, anything at all. - Musang Chicken Joy: I desperately needed some acid in this dish, as the gravy was very rich and weighed down something that was already fried. The crunch was nice, flavor meh. Husband enjoyed this a lot, however. - Garlic Rice: Was there any garlic in this whatsoever? If there was, it was not detected at all. - Arroz Valenciana: Probably the best dish of the evening, but still not a standout by any means. It tasted overwhelmingly lemon-y to me, and I thought it was overpriced for the portion. I basically was dousing everything I could in the (small) side of chili crisp we ordered, to get some flavor out of this meal. Service was a bit perfunctory at this price point, tbh. Overall, it did not leave a good impression and definitely did not make me want to return in the future. read more
