Musu - SEA CLIFF

Last night, my family and I dined at Musu Sushi in Sea Cliff. This pop-up restaurant is only open on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings. I discovered it in a local newspaper article the day before and was intrigued by its backstory. The Executive Sushi Chef, Roy Kurinawan, had to leave for Japan and ended up extending his stay there. The restaurant decided they would only reopen once he returned, which made me think he must be exceptionally talented for them to wait for him like that. And indeed, the food was fantastic! The sushi selection was incredibly fresh, the fish-to-rice ratio was spot-on, the vinegar flavor in the sushi rice was delicately pronounced, and everything was beautifully presented. They had two sushi specials: seared salmon toro and medium-grade bluefin tuna toro. We ordered both, and they were exquisite! I do have two suggestions for improvement: (1) I wish they served freshly grated wasabi from the root; and (2) I would love to see a cola option among their sugar cane soda choices (I know, I'm that person who enjoys Coke with sushi instead of sake). I'm always searching for exceptional sushi restaurants on Long Island, and I can definitely see Musu becoming one of my favorites.

This is the best sushi I have ever had in my life! I eat fish every day, and I’m very thankful to have been introduced to this amazing place!

The food is delicious and very fresh, and the atmosphere is cozy. The only downside is that they give you a 1.5-hour seating limit. It's not that they're rushing you out, though. I genuinely love this place!

I've never been one for trying new sushi rolls but Musu, hands down, has the best sushi my husband and I have ever eaten. It's always so fresh and the combination of flavors are awesome. Highly recommend the Phish sandwich and Judy's comet. Plus, if they have a special roll of the day, just get it!!!

Best sushi restaurant on Long Island actually, one of the best restaurants in New York! The sushi is fabulous, and the menu is innovative and varied. Fabulous, cozy atmosphere and excellent staff!
