"The restaurant features a large bar and an impressive sake menu, which I really enjoyed. I tried a house cocktail called "The Beast," and it struck the perfect balance—not too sweet and not too bitter. For appetizers, we ordered a mixed tempura and saba, which my in-laws really liked. We then ordered three rolls (dragon, Asahi, and one I can't remember) along with some nigiri: scallop, king salmon, fatty tuna, saba, and tobiko. I noticed that although they offer an omakase menu, when we asked for fresh wasabi, our server informed us they didn’t have any. This seemed odd, as fresh wasabi is typically served with omakase, but it wasn’t a major issue for us. Unfortunately, the fish didn't taste very fresh, and the rice lacked the right texture. While it was filling, the overall dish felt unbalanced. Nothing about the rolls or nigiri really stood out to us, except perhaps the fatty tuna. The rice was undercooked and falling apart, possibly due to insufficient vinegar. It was surprising that they also didn't have quail eggs, but this wasn't a deal-breaker for me. The tempura ice cream was underwhelming, and the presentation could have been better. We were hoping to find a new go-to sushi spot in town but left feeling let down by the quality of the fish and rice. However, we do want to give this restaurant another chance, as perhaps we just visited on an off day."

"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!"

"+Update: Thank you Rai Rai for taking the time to respond to my review.When I asked about the additional charge later 'in person ', the staff member did not provide any explanation, maybe because they were busy at preparation to close the restaurant? and the menu did not specify the extra cost when I saw the menu, I added the pictures. So, Yes, it 's my fault that I didn 't look at the menu thoroughly. Since you explained, I understood well why you charged that.However, regardless of the extra charge, I mentioned the sauce wasn 't that good because it made the ramen oilier and it wasn 't spicy. This is my point that I felt uncomfortable with paying for the little sauce. Then, is it clear for you to understand what I addressed? (I hope so)As you know, it can be difficult to satisfy all customers, and as a customer, I believe it is important to share my personal experience at your restaurant, both positive and negative.I would like to clarify that my review was not intended to be mean or rude. This is my honest experience. This review section allows me to express my opinions and share my experience with others, which can be helpful for future customers. It means some people will have a nice experience at your restaurant regardless of my experience.And I just modified my review to look like more reasonable. I ordered Mabo. The taste of the ramen was just average, not special. Mabo that I ordered was nothing special. it only had ground pork and a small amount of tofu. That was it.This is my first experience to have Mabo.But wasn 't that great to me. I opted for the spicy option since it did not mention any extra charge. However, I was surprised to find out that they charged $2 for a very small amount of crunch sauce.But the sauce wasn 't spicy, rather made my ramen oilier.Overall, it was a not bad not good experience to me."
