Musashi - Best Sushi of my LIFE

Always order the harusame. It's a little dish of cold noodle salad that arrives immediately after you order. Yummy bean thread noodles, little bits of crab, omelet, cucumber, sesame seed, and a light creamy dressing. I have never had this anywhere else, or even seen it, but it is heavenly.

Let's talk about mutant unagi. Mutant, because it is fantastically giant, perfectly tender, and (like everything else at Musashi) ridiculously inexpensive. It's also a heightened state of awareness, per Ross Geller. Are you aware that unagi is an eel?

I also enjoy Musashi's giant slabs of fresh salmon, tuna and yellow tail.

I can't believe this is the first place I ever had sushi (THANK YOU JANETTE!!!) and it's hands down the best place in Seattle.

Their California roll might be different than you expect (it's giant, with rice on the inside of the nori) and isn't anything special, so go with the salmon (smoked salmon) cream cheese roll. It is divine, and so is their veggie roll, with pickled daikon goodness. They have nice grilled skewers of teriyaki, and once HP ordered their curry (yes, they have that dark brown Japanese kind of curry) and said it was good.

The beef sukiyaki has crack in it. It must. That's the only explanation. They give you a nice big portion too.

See, that's the problem with Musashi: you always seem to over-order because of the deliciousness and because you seem to be in shock that everything's so cheap.

The details: expect to wait for a table. They only take cash or check.
