We had the Veggie Gyoza, Edamame, Chicken Katsu Curry, California roll , and "warm" sake. First off, the Gyoza was scalding hot. I took a bite and it literally blistered my tongue. (Still hurts) The server should have said something. Same with the "warm" sake, too hot to even hold the serving container. Again, no warning. The Chicken Katsu Curry was bland, needed salt and hot sauce. The Cali roll was great! read more

Food: There's a great variety of fish and meats to choose from. The dishes are meant to be shared so I suggest ordering many dishes so you can sample lots of things. Service: I thought the service was welcoming and good. We didn't have a reservation and they gave us a nice booth by the window since we had our toddlers with us. I ordered a sake flight and one of the staff members explained each of the sake flavors to me and suggested which ones to drink first and last when I inquired. Ambiance: Chic and cute inside. It's a small place so feels festive and cozy in a good way. Great place to dine at for good authentic Japanese food if you're in Ireland. read more

Great lunch special, under €15 for a huge bento box. I chose the salmon and was impressed. It was fresh and well-cooked (wasn't a fan of the steamed vegetables). My friend got the tonkatsu ramen and was disappointed with the broth (said it was lighter than expected). Another friend ordered a bento box with fried cod and it was too salty. The miso soup was excellent. Service was fine. The interior is cozy with limited seating, so it's better for smaller parties or date nights. 4/5 read more

Came here for a quick lunch with my boyfriend while we were in the area. The price is pretty high for food that is mediocre at best. The sushi rolls are heavily loaded with sauces to the point that you can't taste the fish or even the veggies. The rolls are also cut extremely big making it impossible to eat in one simple bite resulting in multiple bites and broken sushi pieces. The sashimi is also not the most fresh or buttery and were also sliced very thick. We were greeted and sat down right away but the food did take a while to get to us. Waiting for the check was also a hassle. We just ended up going up to the counter to pay. Service wasn't great but the waitress was very nice so I'll give a star for that. Another two stars were earned from the ambiance. Light music and beautiful decor. I loved the chairs and seat pads mixed with the beautiful vibrant colors. Overall I enjoyed my time for the vibes but would not come back for food or service. read more

if i could give minus star i would, i have never seen such a terrible costumer service in my life and i work in the industry, im not to write bad reviews but this experience was so appalling, they rather loose the costumer than to literally admit a mistake and change it, from someone that used to come very often being treated so poorly it was just very bad. Literally paid more and they wouldn't even give me the cheaper plate that i wanted, the server screaming at me. very bad. won't be coming back ever. read more

We wanted to cap off a wonderful trip in Ireland. And we craved some good sushi. This place looked wonderful so we thought we would give it a try. I casually joked and wondered if they would serve fries on the side. Which is quite prevalent in Ireland. All joking aside, the atmosphere was very authentic. Food was delicious, no complaints. The only way to make the experience better would have been if I had an additional stomach. Everything was sooo good. Highly recommend their seaweed salad, but everything was quite good. I just wish this place was closer than a 12 hour plane ride. I would go again if I had the chance and highly recommend. read more

Musashi is the epitome of great Japanese food. From the friendly welcome to the clean decor, you feel at home in the surroundings. I'm a huge noodle fan and have eaten at many establishments over my life. Being slightly familiar with the Japanese subculture around ramen, I was warmly impressed with my Musashi Ramen bowl. I opted for 3 different kinds of meat to get a sampling: chicken, pork and shrimp. All were cooked perfectly. The broth was made of chicken and pork, which was simple and delicate. The noodles were cooked to have just the right texture. The presentation was beautiful, allowing you to visually enjoy before digging in. It seems evident that they take great pride and care with the food they serve. The ramen arrived pretty quickly after being ordered. The waitress was friendly and kept drinks topped off. All in all, it was a wonderful experience and a great value for the money. I look forward to coming back in the near future. read more

Decent sushi for cheap. The sashimi combo was very tasty, especially the salmon. The salmon avocado roll was also very good, but the spicy salmon was just a normal salmon roll with literally Sriracha sauce plopped on top, really odd. The service was incredibly fast, to the point where they picked up our plates and brought the check as soon as the last piece was lifted from the plate and we felt a bit rushed. read more

Very mediocre sushi and ramen, at best. I gave it a shot because of my AirBnB host's recommendation. (They also recommended some good steakhouses that I liked, including BOVINITY also on Capel street.) But this was a disappointment. Ramen was very bland; the chicken and shrimp in it were totally dry and flavourless. The pork was also very dry. Broth was just bland... really no redeeming features here. The maki rolls are just huge chunks of rice smothered in Mayo. It's not good Japanese food at all. read more

When I met Mark C. at the fried mars bar yelp event last week I asked him about Musashi and if he liked sushi and he said "I don't know much about sushi, but I know that I love it". This stuck in my mind because that is exactly how I feel about it! I know it's delicious and that I'm always craving it! I've eaten sushi in a few places in Dublin but I must say this place has a really different atmosphere to it. The interior is lovely, wooden chairs and tables, all with cushions for underneath and behind you. I like the dim lighting too, There's a really nice minimalist vibe to the place. The manager has always been very friendly, and the food is top notch. Good price on bento boxes. Complimentary tea on arrival to settle your tummy. The tap water is served with ice and a slice of lemon, I find this a really nice touch as so many places just give you water with no ice, let alone lemon, and as I generally can not be without water this made me happy! I've been twice so far, first I had egg on bed of noodles, absolutely divine, even without soy sauce, and I do like to add soy sauce! Second time I got salmon bento box served with miso soup which was less filling than the previous meal but more than enough to satisfy an appetite! I look forward to dining here again! Also don't forget to check in, you get 10% off your meal when you do this, but its on a single meal, not on any bento boxes. Free WiFi too :) read more

Even the name Musashi brings a smile to my face....... I eat here at least once if not twice a week. Where do I start with the praise??? Staff - super friendly and attentive. Bing is my homegirl, she always looks after me when I come here and will try and squeeze me in if they are booked out. Food - OMG.... Seriously, I had tried to eat sushi in other restaurants over the years and could barely keep down the seaweed. So I came to the conclusion that I did not like seaweed and only liked sashimi (plain raw fish). Then I tried a tuna and avocado roll in Musashi and have not looked back. I try to order differently each time. Noodles, sushi, fried rice dishes, miso soup, terriyaki, tempura, dumplings.... I have not tried anything I have not liked. Drink - They don't sell alcohol. This is madness I hear you say! Noooo, it's genius! Corkage of €4 on wine and no charge for bringing your own beers, ciders, spirits..... Off licence 2 doors down. It saves you a fortune and you can bring your favourites. A WINNING situation! Price - Everything is very reasonably priced. For example, I was here Friday just gone. Got 2 main courses and 2 starters and the bill came to little over €30 (€5 for some beers from the off licence).... I find with the likes of Yamamori and UkiYo that the sushi in particular is terribly over priced. Not in Musashi! Atmosphere/space - The restaurant is not huge, but a nice size. It just means it gets booked up pretty quickly at weekends. Great atmosphere, there's a buzz to the place. Music played in the background can vary but is usually some sort of pop music. Britney, Whitney, Mariah. The toilets have different music, usually country inspired or a bit of Celtic Mysticism- Taylor Swift, Dolly Parton, Enya..... Totally random but brilliant. I am delighted these guys are doing so well, they deserve the custom. Awesome food, staff, price and atmosphere. I would recommend booking a table any day of the week you decide to come, not just weekends as they can be very busy all of a sudden and you may be disappointed. (Before or after go for a €3.50 pint next door in Pantibar) read more

I absolutely love Musashi! Seriously reasonably priced for Japanese food in Dublin. They have a good selection of sushi & hot food, including three vegetarian main dishes. I particularly love their Cha Han and Tofu Steak with teriyaki. The food is delicious, wholesome and the portions are very generous. I recently came here with a group of 8 & we were very well looked after! Staff are all lovely and welcoming. Also worth mentioning is that it's BYOW with a corkage fee of €6 per bottle. Desserts are super cheap ranging in price from 1 euro (yes, really!) to about 4. The 1 euro desserts are a single scoop of any ice cream or frozen yoghurt flavour you fancy. The perfect size after having one of their massive main portions! read more

Musashi - Veggie Cha Han - much more appetising than it looks! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Dublin, D

Musashi is by far my favourite Japanese restaurant in Dublin at the moment. Their food is amazing and very well priced for such a high quality. I normally get the sea food cha han with a salmon and avocado norimaki. Usually comes to about €20. There are other Japanese places in Dublin where the same order would come to about €30. You can also bring your own wine but there is a corkage fee of €6. They do a lunch menu during the day which is even better value again. Musashi's sushi is where they really shine. Every thing I have had here as been absolutely fantastic. The freshest cuts of fish. The rice is always perfect; not too sticky and gooey, not too hard. The portions are always very generous too especially for the price. My only complaint about the place is that it gets a little too warm in the restaurant, but that's not that big an issue at all. If you are looking for a nice Japanese meal this is your place. Places such as Yamamori boast a bigger menu and other things like fancy cocktails, but Musashi's food is of similar or better quality at a much lower price. read more

Musashi - Take away pork gyosa - Sushi Bars Near Me - Dublin, D

I was introduced to this place through a yelp event and, as a result, I was very excited when making a return visit. Greeted by the friendly staff we were shown to a sturdy table and immediately treated to some green tea. The bottle of wine, which I had purchased in a nearby Spar, was given a cooler and I began to read the menu. I can still remember the pangs of hunger I felt as I read through that delicious list. I wanted it all! Anyway, after some discussion we ordered sushi as a starter, to be followed by chicken katsu curry and tuna stake for our mains. It was lovely, expertly prepared and fresh, most of our conversation was about when we were coming back. There is no alcohol for sale here but you can bring your own, Musashi charge €3 for corkage. The interior is cool, with a plain but cosy feel creating an excellent atmosphere for both dining and conversation. I found it to be great value and the staff were terrific. Just make sure your wine is of a high enough caliber to complement the excellent food - Ours wasn't :) If your in the area check out their lunch time specials. They look good! read more

I've had Musashi bookmarked for a long time and today I finally got to sample its delights & charm! I wanted to bring my mam somewhere for her birthday that would have good food and which would have equally good service and I thought this sounded like the perfect place. Firstly the atmosphere of the restaurant is warm & inviting. Being greeted with a smile then enhances the warmth. The appearance of the restaurant is japanese-esque and very cute. I particularly like the stools which have footrests and cushions & are extremely comfortable. We were showed to our table immediately and complimentary green tea for two was promptly brought to us while we examined the menu. Our waiter 'Joseph' came to assist us. I was hoping to sample one of their bento boxes but he advised me that they're only offered on weekdays. Minor setback as they still had a specials menu. We decided to order the Musashi Cha Han from that menu for €7.99 and the Salmon Teriyaki from the main menu for €14.99 I asked Joseph to recommend a starter and he recommended their House Special Tempura which consisted of a mixture of veg and fish in a light tempura batter along with a dipping sauce. We ordered two tap waters and they were served with lemon and also had some lemon squeezed into them. Nice touch. We weren't long waiting on the starter to arrive and it arrived in style! Served in a bamboo tray with a pretty garnish. The portion was very generous and well worth €8.50. The batter was so light and crispy it really was delicious. We sampled the following: prawn, squid, green pepper, sweet potato, baby sweetcorn, white fish, asparagus, Aubergine & courgette. My favourite was the squid, it was so tender & not at all chewy. Followed closely by the prawn and then the green pepper & sweet potato but they were all very tasty. This starter would be like a main for one person and is the perfect size to share. The mains came soon after. The presentation of the teriyaki was superb; from the plate it was served on to the creative garnishes. The salmon was fabulous, cooked to perfection & with a generous amount of teriyaki sauce. It was served with tasty veg (mostly bean sprouts, broccoli & peppers) as well as a bed of rice. I'd like it if they also offered the alternative of having it with noodles instead but that's just preference. The Musashi Cha Han was presented simply in comparison but the white shell shaped dish really compliments the colour of the dish & the yellow of the egg. Its obviously popular as we saw a lot of them being served. And rightly so! It was extremely tasty and a great price too! So the rumours are true- the food here is fantastic! I've heard people raving about the sushi yet I didn't try any today due to the cold weather and the desire for hot food! I've therefore made a promise to myself to come back soon and try the sushi. That's one promise that will be VERY easy to keep! The waiter Joseph was one of the most pleasant, attentive, helpful & genuinely lovely members of staff I've encountered in a long time. Bonus. Food, service and atmosphere all lived up to my expectations from reading the reviews. I would most definitely recommend Musashi. Might see you there! read more

This is my favorite sushi place in Dublin, by far! They have really good sushi for very reasonable prices. The place has a cozy feel, small enough to be intimate but big enough to fit groups. I haven't tried their other foods, but their vegetable fried rice is great. I think they serve beer only, and everything else is BYOB. They have another branch in IFSC which is much bigger, and does collection/take away. read more

Musashi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Dublin, D

Came here for dinner and I'd have to, one of the best Japanese restaurants in Dublin. The sashimi was so fresh and succulent, and the sushi was perfect with just the right amount of rice; they didn't use a whole fistful of rice that you can't even swallow in one bit. Besides sushi and sashimi , they do the best Gyoza! Not burnt or too oily, and theres 4 varieties (prawn, chicken, pork or veggie). Tempura, noodles, hot mains like teriyaki fish, tofu, and sides like edamame and miso soup also feature on the menu. The interior is quite Japanese like in decoration which was nice, and the place gets packed on weekends for lunch and dinner so its always safe to have a reservation if going on a Friday or Saturday. The service was top notch! Staff were very polite and attentive, checked up on us regularly and were overall great! Overall no complaints! Will definitely come here again for some sushi! read more

I love this place. I simply love this place. The decor is perfect for its size, the capacity is perfect, it never feels crowded and the atmosphere is welcoming. Plus you can't argue with the BYOB rule either, very reasonable if you want to bring your own wine along. The food is fantastic, I've yet to find a nicer bowl of miso soup in Dublin or a all round better bento box in terms of value, presentation and price point. I typically get it with the chicken skewers and it costs just around €16 at lunch, with a drink of course. Go, just go. Even if you aren't impressed by the food, you'll be satisfied by how little it cost. read more

Musashi - My wonderful lunch time bento! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Dublin, D

I love parts of the meal and am a bit indifferent on other parts of them so the review will be broken down as follow: Service - Excellent, friendly with timing of "military precision". Tempura - Proper tempura batter (not panko) which gives it a light but crispy coating, best I have had in Dublin. Gyoza - Very good with lovely ponzu dipping sauce. Sushi - A bit of a let down but perhaps I've been spoilt by J2's fantastic sushi creations. Cha han - The fried rice was made with fresh lovely ingredients but it was not seasoned at all. We all had to add soy sauce to the dish. Value - Very reasonable... it came to about €22 per head, including a bottle of house white shared by 3. Definitely worth a visit but be sure to make a reservation! read more

Out of sheer boredom me and a friend decided to go for a lunch date, we got lost and stumbled upon this quaint little japanese place. The interior is beautifully wooden and gives off an authentic feel. I ordered the Musashi ramen and my hot date had the chef sushi. The ramen was what you would expect from a good ramen, it was packed with beef, chicken, shrimp and all that good stuff. But the real show stealer was the sushi; gorgeously presented on a wooden bridge and served with a nice little miso soup. As you might be able to tell by now it was a great experience overall. read more

What a good restaurant! Musashi is one of the latest additions to Dublin's evolving Japanese food scene and one worth checking out. The place itself is rather small with tables and chair close to each other, so it'll be an intimate experience. Or, put it as you like, you'll get to know your neighbor really well. When the restaurant is packed (and it is packed every evening) it will get very noisy but we're here for the food, right? What's on the menu is by far more authentic than I've seen in other places around the city. Ramen? Check. Katsu Curry? Check. Teppan Beef Teriyaki? Check. I had a Musashi Ramen which came with chicken, beef, prawns, tofu, egg, shiitake and vegetables in a miso-based soup (13.50 Euro). Fantastic in taste and addictive. Service was quick and attentive, no complaints. I sometimes go to one of the Asian supermarkets in the city and try to make that stuff myself, but most of the time I fail miserably. Glad that Musashi now comes to the rescue. read more

One of the 2-3 best Japanese restaurants in Dublin. You can't go wrong with the Bento box here, just amazing, a work of art. Delicious, and a good load of food. Also, I think it's 1 euro cheaper than Yamamori's Bento box! (I honestly think Musashi's Bento Box is better). Pssst, spicy tuna rolls (8 pieces for 5,80 euros) is a great starter for sharing! PS. Just a little quibble, the place is really small. At lunch time is always packed and sometimes you feel too close to the other tables... also, where am I suppose to leave my jacket/coat/umbrella? No place but under the table! read more

Went to Musashi for lunch and really enjoyed the experience. The staff are super friendly and kept asking if we needed anything but weren't too in your face. Lunch specials are only €8! So worth it!The Chicken Raman was delightful and the soup was incredibly tasty with a large portion of chicken. The Katsu Curry was also delicious however the curry sauce itself was a bit generic and weirdly reminded me of one you might get in a 3 in 1 and didn't blow me away too much which is the only reason I'm not giving Mushashi 5 stars. It came with pickled veg that was beautifully presented and tasted great! Also we brought a bottle of wine with us and it is only €6 for corkage so well worth it if you feel like brining a bottle along for a meal! read more

Had been wanting to come here for so long and in my excitement walked straight passed it all the way to the very other end of Capel street. When I finally got there I was seated promptly with the menu and had ordered within five minutes. At half one, the lunchtime rush seemed to have left everybody a bit frazzled and no one really seemed to know what was going on. Sure enough though, my bento box, green tea and miso soup all arrived in surprisingly good time, along with a huge smile. The bento box here is the best I've had in Dublin. Huge portions and all really good quality; at 8.99 it's a steal. Once two o'clock came, the suits cleared out and the atmosphere completely changed. Able to breathe, I took out the book which was kind enough to accompany me and enjoyed the rest of my lunch leisurely. Whoever was sorting out the music seemed a lot calmer too, now playing some relaxed bossa nova as opposed to the previous plethora of strange pop covers. Over all, the service here is amazing, albeit a bit disorganised, and the bento at least, is worth every cent. read more

Musashi - Beef teriyaki, some form of spicy chicken skewer, crab and salmon sushi and rice. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Dublin, D

Went on a Sunday afternoon. Atmosphere was busy and friendly, a slightly hipster clientele which I always like. I had the vegetarian udon noodles and my sister had the salmon teriyaki. My dish was very nice if a little standard, a lot of sauce was on it but the tofu was nice and crispy. My sister was happy with her salmon but the salad that came with it was covered in wasabi sauce which wasn't mentioned in the menu and she's not a fan of wasabi in the slightest. Staff were friendly and attentive, would go back but I'm not in a rush. read more
