It was pre-covid era and although there were news items about Wuhan and its closure, the possibility was so remote then or so we told ourselves so we went about our normal routine without a care in the world. Who new that less than a month later, the metro (initially) then the whole island of Luzon eventually would be on a lockdown
2nd time here.
Noticed that they have a big menu, the great thing is they have Senior Menu or the Lago Menu.
The ambiance is very homey.
They greet guests when you enter, when you order and when you leave.
A buzzer is on your table when you need to call their staff's attention.
Sashimi is served on a conveyor when you're seated in the middle area tables. The salmon sashimi is really is delicious and sweet. Tempura Sashimi is very crunchy but doesn't taste like oil. However the shrimp is a bit overcooked, but still tasted good.
House tea is served for free to help with digestion.
A good Japanese restaurant for couples, friends and family.
Musashi maru restaurant is located at the rooftop of glorietta also known as the japan town. The area looks spacious and their tables would usually cater to 4-6pax. Their no1 and no2 miso-based ramen tastes okay, the soup is a bit thick. Their salmon sashimi rice is okay, need to add sauce. And their tekka negitori tastes okay. Overall ambience is okay, but they may need to improve their exhaust. Their servers are all friendly and knows how to speak japanese (you may identify them on their name plate)
Love the small fried shrimp; sashimi is fresh; will definitely be back
First time eating here and it was almost closing time. Ordered the Salmon and Ikura Don with Tonjiru and a glass of Kaku Highball. Pretty good, really enjoyed it. Staff was also nice and very attentive. The place was nice and the tables are pretty spacious for groups. Will def be back soon!
Happy to tried Washoku Musashi Maru. Really enjoyed their set meals especially the Salmon Nigiri. More update on the blog soon.
AMBIENCE
I love the convenience of calling servers with the button left on the table. On top of that, orders slide their way towards us at the side of our table. Very efficient! Restaurant is very spacious with strong air con even though the branch was full.
BEVERAGE
Free cold tea tasted good as always among various Japanese restaurants we've been to. We had lots of refills!
FOOD
Miso-Tonkotsu Ramen had excellent egg yolk, tasty umami broth and a fair serving of meat. Tekka Negitoro was cold and tasty but not too heavy. Aburi Salmon Zukushi were few but big pieces of salmon with grated radish, mayo and miso on top that tasted amazing!
SERVICE
Servers had a lively vibe, were cheerful, attentive and consistent at greeting customers with such energy!
Aburi Salmon Don with Tonjiru (php430) at Musashi-Maru located at Japan Town, Top of the Glo (near Holiday Inn). Quite excited to try all the jap restos here. Musashi-Maru has extensive menu, very accommodating staff (press the bell if you need them), and large dining hall.
House tea was complimentary.
I was able to try the teppan cheese hamburg steak and oyakodon during my first visit here. Both tasted good.
Not sure what was the sauce slathered on the cheese hamburg steak but I liked that it did not taste super sweet. Oyakodon had a simple, flavorful taste. The combination of creamy eggs and chicken was perfect!
I just find the price a bit expensive for the serving size of the dishes. Other than that, the dining experience here was great. Each table had a buzzer so it was not difficult to request from the staff.
