Once a quiet place to get the real thing, Musashino is now a magnet for the monied after-work crowd. The decor of cedar paneling, paper lanterns and aquatic prints is enchanting, but the tables are a little too close together, and the disco music seems out of sync with the Japanese aesthetic. Teriyaki and tempura are available, but sushi is king. A 10-piece sushi deluxe features albacore tuna topped with shredded daikon.

Went here recently for the first time with my husband n found the place to be very quaint n private. I've never had sushi before and was pleasantly surprised that the waitress was so helpful in explaining to me the different fishes and how to eat it. Tried a stuffed avocado that was amazing.. And a fried icecream that was delicious. We'll definatly will be going back. It's a must try if you haven't been

you just cant beat mushashino for overall sushi experience. its authentic and delicious. the sushi pieces are cut a little thick for my small mouth but its always good. youre safe to order things like sea urchin and ankimo here, as well as a really mean roll called the texas style, i think. stay away from the southsider. yuck...to sweet and saucy. the desserts are worth skipping, sit in front of smokey at the sushi bar!

My husband and I have eaten at this wonderful establishment more times than I can count. It is on our list as one of, if not the, best places for sushi in Austin. That being said, lately the service has really gone downhill. On our most recent visit a manager, whom I've never seen before (maybe he's new?) asked us to give up our table as we were finishing dinner and drinks with another couple. We had ordered two bottles of wine and spent quite a large amount of money on sushi. We were not trying to take a long time - we were simply finishing our drinks and using the restroom. I have never been so embarassed by a service person before. We were told there was a long wait and they needed our table. I have waited for tables at Musashino many times. Good food is worth waiting for - poor service is not. I'm not sure I would feel comfortable returning to eat with another couple. I felt like I was eating at a "turn 'em and burn 'em" rather than one of the best sushi spots in town. Truly disappointing.
