Musashi Asian Cuisine — Restaurant in New York

Unbeknownst to the masses this place is actually comparable to a Michelin rated restaurant. I'd be so inclined to say that if there was a fast to medium food Michelin rating this restaurant would have 3* easy.

I first tried this restaurant during the week while sitting in my office and searching for where to order from. #FirstWorldProblems of course. Anyhow, this restaurant came up with a full 5 stars and well, how can you not jump at that? Amiright? I was in the mood for Japanese cuisine but not sushi so it's kind of tough to find that perfect place that has a mix of both. This place has it all, from amazing appetizers to noodles and chicken. So my friend and I ordered takeout through seamless which arrived on time, hot and fresh.

We ordered, Veggie Yaki Udon, Salmon Asparagus, Kani Salad, Edamame, Vegetable Dumplings, Sesame Tuna Tataki. All of which were so amazing I couldn't stop raving about it. Firstly, it was my first time trying something on the menu that you don't find at regular sushi restaurants, i.e. the salmon asparagus. It is a very perfectly cooked asparagus wrapped with salmon. Tasty is an understatement. The sauces went so well, I just wanted more and more.

That night, I told my husband we must go to the restaurant and try it. Knowing how much he loves sushi and is a die hard BONDST fan, I figured this place could almost live up to those expectations. So Friday night, we decided to have dinner there. They're only open a month so when we walked in they were empty but were doing lots of take out orders. I think with a little more marketing you'll eventually need to reserve in advance (yeah, it's that good).

(Note it's a BYOB spot for now) We did bring our own bottle of wine which they graciously opened without charging a corking fee. And immediately sat us down with water, salad, and menus. This time we ordered the Edamame, Yellowtail Jalapeno, Salmon Asparagus, Black Cod, Musashi Roll & Spicy Lover Roll.

The sushi rolls were absolutely incredibly fresh and tasty with the perfect amount of sauce to match the flavours. Simply heavenly. The black cod was pure butter. It just melted on my tongue. The only other place I've had such great cod was at Morimoto, so you can understand how amazing the quality of food is here. The Yellowtail Jalapeno had the perfect amount of spice and crunch going. What can I say, you really should try this place before they become world class.

For dessert they actually gave us mochi ice cream, (my first time trying it -- I adore it) green tea and vanilla. Pretty much the perfect end to a phenomenal meal. To top it off all of this was so reasonably priced it just makes me want to be a regular customer here.

The decor is super romantic and calm, as if beckoning you in and making you want to stay forever. Go, this restaurant does...

This is not a real Japanese restaurant by any stretch of the imagination. I was born on raised in Tokyo so my expectations are quite low for Standards especially in Brooklyn, but I do require authenticity regardless. They were on time for their delivery and their rolls and Maki’s were okay. Nothing spectacular, but I didn’t expect great, Good was fine for rolls. Anyone can make these, including myself, however there are “Tells’ ” to see if a Japanese Rest is authentic, order any hot entree items. I ordered a Katsu Don. It was awful. The Katsu was dry and hard. They were idiotic enough to ad ingredients that would NEVER be In Katsu Don. Miso soup was Kikoman Instant Packaged powder. The salad dressing was bottled. The Teriyaki sauce they used on the Eel was sickeningly sweet. Another sign god is not prepared by Japanese. It was horrible This is a rest owned by Thai nationals. Nothing wrong with that as long as they can prepare Japanese food properly, which they cannot. I read reviews on this . These people who wrote such positive reviews on this joint have NO idea what constitutes good Japanese food . They’re experiences are most likely based on food from a food court if they think this place is good. Like I said , anyone can make rolls, but unless trained by Japanese or being Japanese themselves they would not know how to make authentic foods. This...

Used to be my go to delivery Sushi spot... fish quality has gone down recently, tasting less fresh that usual. Last order for delivery said it was done at 6pm and then "new delivery guy" marked it as delivered but it never showed. I tried to cancel on seamless and ordered again. Food came then and it was the original order.. but this was an hour late and was warm and had been obviously sitting out all that time. I then canceled the new order and Musashi called me about 5 times arranging for someone to come pick up that original order from me to tak it back... at which point it had now been about two hours (I put it in the fridge at least). I feel bad for whoever gets my order that they took back from me. Shame, and zero customer service dealing with...
