Musashi Exotic Japanese Cuisine

We had a very nice vegan meal! The greater Philadelphia area is very difficult for a vegan diet. This is the first restaurant we have found in the Philly suburbs that had eel vegan choices. Yay!

This place is very cozy, our serves was extremely sweet and helpful. They do have 5+ options for vegan apps, we got tempura veggies-very good, and edamame shumai which I personally didn't like, but my bf loved it. I recall at least 4 main vegan options, we got vegan ramen, which was very very good, the broth was just amazing, however it did not come with the things listed on the menu, it had no eggplant or yellow squash, seems like it was subbed with corn and bamboo shoots. We also got veggie curry which was delish, curry was flavorful and veggies were well prepped. The place is not overpriced and BYOB!!! Def check the place out.

Was happy to hear of another restaurant that had vegan options. Vegan options just weren't up my alley and were odd food choices to me. I ended up with a salad and cucumber roll. The staff was asked what something on the menu was and they didn't know, so I wasn't too impressed. Food was sub par and not a good value.

I would never disagree with a review or opinion or a reviewer. Heck, some people like Coldplay or The Cowboys, go figure. This aside, I'm surprised to read that other reviewers found a lack of -vegan- options at Musashi. I found quite the opposite. Perhaps we meet in the middle and determine that Musashi has good-great vegan options and also good-great non-vegan options. I would prefer to find an establishment where I can take non-vegans so that they are comfortable, can chose options they prefer, and possible explore vegan options. Mushashi is exactly such a location. I've taken multiple non-vegan and vegan friends and they all (not hyperbole) have given a glowing thumbs up in regards to the food, ambience, and ownership. In regards to the lack of -vegan- options. I'll take a shot. Vegan Green Roll Vegan Pink Roll Multiple Vegan single' rolls: I'm recalling 6-8. Multiple Vegan appetizers: I'm recalling 3-5. Multiple Vegan entrees outside of sushi: I'm recalling 3 or 4. A Vegan dessert option or two. My experience with vegan sushi has been varied. Often, a restaurant will offer a few poorly executed simple veggie rolls. Musashi exudes quality, uniqueness, and attention-to-detail in even the simplest of items. Again, I avoid hyperbole unless I'm referring to the idiots currently in charge of the United States. Oops. Not food related. I legitimately feel that every item ordered (appetizers, simple' rolls, dessert) has been flavorful, detailed, and clearly a dedicated effort by the staff. I may invoke a call from the Vegan Police, but, I should also assert that a certain non-vegan sushi expert I associate with was thoroughly pleased with Musashi and echoed similar sentiments. Sure, service can be a bit slow. Go to Taco Bell if you desire food in four minutes. Honestly, I would happily trade a bit of service for a clear attention to detail. Give Musashi an honest and open-minded attempt and I assert that you may well agree. NOTE: This is an easy 5 star. I respect the Happy Cow 4-star model and, therefore, fight the system to bring you: 4 STARS out of 4 STARS. Deal with it. Rad!

I checked this place out while I was staying in the area. For a place that has vegan in their name, they didn't really have a whole lot of options to choose from. I had a vegan ramen bowl that was delicious and my husband had Seitan VegDon which he said was good. We also had a vegan Flan for desert and they had soy whipped cream for the topping which was a nice surprise. Overall good but not as many vegan options as the name would have you believe, there is 3 or 4.
