    tuna & salmon sashimi
    Vickie L.

    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.

    no complaints from this place, only wish they had a few more complex rolls to choose from. food came out super quick. they have gluten free soy sauce. miso soup was delicious, edamame was perfectly salted. fish tasted great and fresh. the meat plates were sizzling and were wonderful. food not too expensive either. kind servers.

    I stopped by here after seeing good reviews. I ordered from the lunch menu and it was very good. I would recommend this restaurant.

    Came here for dinner. Sushi came out on a cute boat with smoking dry ice. Bobba tea was fresh and they use real dairy. Had the brown sugar latte boba and it was delicious. the resturaunt was small and comfy, with beautiful murals and paper lanterns. Waitstaff was extremely pleasent and everyone loved the sushi.

    Musashi Ramen

    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.

    Sashimi, salmon avocado roll, spicy salmon roll
    Olga S.

    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.

    Wonderful food and very simple surroundings similar to Japan. Sushi was excellent, simple and quick service! Very nice

    Beautiful wooden interior

    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 :)

    Vegetable Cha Han

    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)

    Veggie Cha Han - much more appetising than it looks!
    Lucky O.

    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!

    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.

    House Special Tempura for starters
    Natalie M.

    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!

When we arrived, the door was locked and some employee opened it for us but then walked away. It took a few minutes for us to be acknowledged by someone else to seat us. When the server approached, we ordered water to start. When he returned with the water, we asked if they had straws and all he said was "yes" and he walked away when we said we needed a minute to order food. We ordered different things such as sushi rolls and gyoza and after an hour being there, we had received nothing. When the food finally came, my order was missing a roll and had sashimi on the plate, so he took the plate back. When he returned, he said the kitchen had made a mistake and they were out of tuna, even though the plate he took from me had tuna. The only thing that was wrong on the original plate was the sashimi. He asked if I wanted something else and I was so hungry, I asked if my other order could come out while I looked at the menu. What I did receive, did not have any tuna, even though the menu said it should, I guess that's my fault for asking for the other 2 rolls to come out, thinking all they would do is take the sashimi off the plate, but he should have told me they would not have any tuna at all to make sure I would still want it. The sushi did not have any flavor, not even the soy sauce helped. The most flavorful thing on the plate was the sesame seeds and I wasn't the only one at the table who thought that. It was so unenjoyable that I could not even finish the 2 rolls I had in front of me. The service was overall terrible, the server was not attentive or friendly. The food was severely overpriced. The only good thing about this meal was the gyoza, and that another server came to tell us the kitchen was doing a last call for food. It's definitely one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had and our group of 6 is all in agreement. Would not recommend, would absolutely not return, not even for free.

The fish was very fresh and delicious. I thought the rolls were a little less exciting; the rice to filling ratio was off, and I felt a little gypped. They were still tasty though. The whole platter was 9.20 before the discount, but I wasn't full afterwards. It just wasn't enough food, simple as that. For that kind of money I could have stuffed myself silly twice over.
