Musashi used to be my favorite Grants Pass sushi place years ago when I lived there full time. Tuesday was my first return visit in over 7 years, and the quality, service and presentation remains as great as it was then. We shared a sushi platter, which was more than enough for 2 people! The sushi was fresh, crunchy whare it should be crunchy, with just the right amount of wasabi.

My favorite sushi restaurant in town! Most authentic tasting ramen I've had in years as well. I absolutely recommend this place to everyone I know who loves quality food. The servers and bartenders are always so sweet and provide great service. When little human mistakes do happen (which is a reality for any restaurant that's packed during a weekend dinner rush!) they are quick to rectify the situation and super helpful, always making sure that you're satisfied with the solution and overall experience in the end. Definitely not super easy to fit larger groups in here though. If you're going to show up with more than 4 people, expect a wait unless you call in the morning to make a reservation first. I also wouldn't say this is the place for a quick meal, as they're very popular and if you go during a busy time of day it'll take a bit longer to get your meal. What I would say though is the wait is absolutely worth it because they're clearly taking their time making quality food that you're sure to enjoy.

Absolutely the best sushi in Grants Pass! This place is hands down the best spot for sushi in town. For larger parties, I recommend ordering ahead so you have some starters ready when you arrive — it makes the experience even smoother. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, respectful, and an absolute pleasure to be around. My son, an aspiring chef, was amazed by the artistry and plating expertise. We celebrated my other son’s 21st birthday dinner here, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Everything from the food to the atmosphere was exceptional. We’ll definitely be back!

We visited Musashi for lunch right when they opened, eager to see if it lived up to the praise we had heard. The service stood out, our server was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to answer all our menu questions. The Food • Chicken Gyoza – A standout appetizer! Light, crispy, and packed with excellent chicken flavor. The sauce was a perfect complement. • California Roll – Fairly standard but enjoyable. The rolls were on the larger side, which made them a bit tricky to eat in one bite. • Spider Roll – Delicious! The crab flavor was rich, and the crunchy texture added a nice contrast. A drizzle of eel sauce would have taken it to the next level. • Yam Tempura Hand Roll – Another highlight. The sweetness of the yam paired beautifully with the other ingredients, while the crispy texture played well with the cucumber and the sweet-tangy sauce. • Apple Pie Gyoza – A perfect ending to the meal. Light, warm, and crispy, with a delightful apple pie flavor that made for a fantastic dessert. Overall, Musashi delivered a great dining experience with excellent service and some standout dishes. We’ll definitely be back to try more!
