What Anna N likes about Musashi Japanese Restaurant:
This was my first time here! I went with my boyfriend's mom and his 2 sisters to celebrate International Women's Day. We ordered a bunch of stuff. Seafood skewer sampler, beef wappa, tuna poke with rice, tempura, udon and more. My favorite is there chawanmushi aka steamed egg. It is soooo delicate and is like eating a soft soft pillow.

Came here for dinner on a Saturday night. I ordered the Rock n roll and also an order of California rolls. The rock n roll sauce was much sweeter than any I've tried and it took away from the eel and the rest of the roll. The California roll was fine, nothing that special. The soy sauce that was served was very salty. I dropped almost $30 for the meal and was pretty disappointed with the quality. View all feedback.
