Huh?

by SueZ444

I agree with another reviewer that I cannot understand the EXTREME HYPE over this restaurant. There are always tons of people outside (probably besides the restaurant has so few tables). Have tried it several times (because I thought maybe my tastebuds were having an off day the other times I tried). The sushi is mediocre, the prices are good, but that's about it. I would highly recommend Kisaku for awesome sushi (but only if seated at the bar preferably where the owner is working).

• Pros: Cheap?
• Cons: Cheap sushi?

Don't understand the hype

by montyhouse

So, I'm the odd man out. I've never understood Musashi's bottom-barrel, lowest-common denominator appeal. The atmosphere is harried and frenzied, the fish is merely adequate (at best!), and there are better sushi choices all over Wallingford, or with a short jaunt to Fremont. Chinoise, Rain, Kozue, Chiso - why would someone pass these places up for overcrowded, underwhelming Musashi's? Wakarimasen yo.

• Pros: inexpensive
• Cons: overcrowded, underwhelming, fish merely adequate

Cheapest sushi place in town

by HendryP

This is the place to go if you want to eat sushi for value. The wait is very long since there're always starving students from nearby university (UW) and the restaurant itself is really small. There's no waiting room so doing so in Winter is definitely no fun. Finding a parking spot in the neighborhood is really hard. But if you can overcome those, then you're in for a sushi treat for cheap. I have gone there a couple of times and I usually order chirashi (various sashimi over rice) and a California roll. There are not many choices anyway. Note that if you order those at some other Japanese restaurant, it could easily cost twice as much.

Definitely will go there again when I'm super hungry and don't have much bucks in my pocket.
