Musu Bar + Bistro — Restaurant in Kutchan

French Chardonnay. 1500 W / Akkeshi oysters - shallot dressing. 1800. Wagyu rump steak, fries and truffle butter 5500 - French Syrah 1500 French Pinot noir 1500.

Oysters were fresh and had great flavour. Seemed to have similar characteristics to Sydney rock oysters (my favourite), only bigger. I’m generally hesitant to order the larger sizes. I would eat these over and over again. I enjoyed oysters with a glass of French Chardonnay.

Wagyu rump steak - Extreme disappointment. Looked great on menu and plate. The truffle butter had just come out of the freezer ? Maybe outside but wasn’t fridge or allowed to come to room temperature. Was still hard by the time I’d finished the steak. This was the chewiest cut I’ve ever eaten. Flavour varied - very little seasoning but atleast it has seen some flame. This is justification why I rarely eat steaks out. It’s rarely done right or acceptable.

Sad as we came last year and food and atmosphere was great. This year a...

Went to Musu for brunch on Jan 3, 2023. Ordered the scallop, burger and a soy flat white. Portion of scallop was tiny - probably 2 scallops thinly sliced to 5-6 pieces. The patty in burger was still cold in the middle. I took 2 bites and promptly gave my feedback for the burger to be returned for a new one. I was shocked when the waiter came back with my originally burger probably re- heated!! 😱😱😱 First time in my dinning experience has this happened. Any chef worth their salt should have replaced it with a new one. The soy flat white was too sweet and probably too much soy milk. The waiter did try to do some service recovery by not charging me for the burger. Overall will give this place a miss!! Remembered it to be a nice joint pre covid though - not sure if the mgmt...

Sat down and were told we had 3 mins to order lunch before the kitchen closed . We ordered 2 penne Bolognese and then waited three quarters of an hour for our food only to discover it had never been ordered . (girls whoarrivedafter us had ordered eaten and left ) Ifhadn't asked we would have waited indefinitely. The person who took our order tried to blame another waitress for not placing the order. Nevertheless she said sorry and offered us tapas which came pretty quickly . We asked for more bread and another 300 yen was added to our bill . Not the best when you waited all that time . Second round of drinks was also a bit slow in arriving . Despite the level of management seems pretty disorganised. I feel sorry for the poor girl who...
