Reviews
Very reliable and simple Japanese restaurant right off of shaddock. We live nearby and frequent this place. It’s pretty simple Japanese dishes, but it’s all executed well with good ingredients at a reasonable price.
The atmosphere depends a little on where you sit. The color temperature on their light fixtures are not consistent and you could get stuck under a colder (bluish hue) light, which isn’t ideal. There is sometimes an out door table or two, which is great if you have a dog. Overall - it is a passable ambiance.
Service is solid with friendly staff.
Overall - it’s a good spot. We keep coming back.
I ordered a Nabeyaki udon, the portion was very small for $22 and chicken tasted yucky/ a bit slimy I had to pick all the tiny pieces out. The broth was very delicious though, I wouldn’t recommend getting udon here there are way better places in Oakland. I didn’t order any sushi but everyones sushi looked delicious, maybe I’ll go back and try some rolls.
Ohitashi (spinach) is refreshing and comes in a fairly generous portion.
Chirashi is so beautiful. 🥹Judging from other reviews, mini set seems to have the same selection but half the size. I am going back to England soon so… And it is a tall and huge bowl with almost two layers of fish in thick cut.
Shrimp, scallop, octopus, albacore, hamachi, mackerel, akami, cute squid and shiso rolls, salmon and ikura, flounder(?)… literally everything on the menu and probably more.
The fish is mostly plump and fresh, although the red meat fish especially the albacore, tuna, and tail part of mackerel is fishier than normal.
Tamagoyaki is homely, eggy and not too sweet.
Yes mini size should be more than enough for a normal human. Yes I ate too much.
In summary, the chirashi don has great value, gorgeous presentation, and overall fair quality.
Used to be a small mom and pop grocery and was so good they became a restaurant. The sushi is super fresh and made to order and they also have delicious Ramen, katsu, danburry (not sure how that's spelled lol). The tempura soft shell crab is amazing! Also had the steak, shitake and fresh tofu and wow! The tofu was like a cloud or a pillow. So good.
We have been to Japan so many times, and Musashi is our go to restaurant if we are craving for some authentic Japanese food. We like the Karaage, Shrimp Tempura, Agedashi Tofu, Chawan Mushi, and Chirashi. …
A delicious array of options! I wish i had seen the chalkboard of sushi available in the 2nd room before we left/ordered. It had the day's specials. The shochu list is great, and very yummy. The staff is attentive and thoughtful in many ways, even though we stashed ourselves away in a corner -- we were never forgotten!
Great neighborhood place. Authentic, non complicated. Great Agedashi tofu! Great fish specials.
Service was great however food was hit or miss. There chawanmushi was great salmon was good, but the yakitory was not, green tea came frozen, uni was really bad. Chicken skin was bland
Musashi offers a delightful culinary journey with its impeccable fusion of traditional Japanese flavors and modern presentation, creating a dining experience that is both authentic and innovative.
This is a true hidden gem. The quality of food here is phenomenal. I've been get food to go for years, but had time to dine in recently. Service was good even though they were packed. But i only have 4 stars for atmosphere as I perfer a cozier sushi dining experience.
