Izakaya (Japanese Style Bar) in the Southern
Hemisphere! Any hows I wish I knew that
bit of information before the waitress let
us know about the 20 minute wait and we
moved across
to the Chamberlin Hotel for a beer (which
by the way has been refurbished and just
isn't the same with out the Lindy Chamberlin
mural). So yeah, enough about Lindy and
the dingo and all that and I guess a saki
or an "original" Japanese drink
would have been good for the wait. But that's
okay because the waitress was good enough
to give us a tingle as soon as the table
was ready. So down went the beer before
you could say Teppanyaki and we were in
like Flyn!
We
were seated at a table for 3, my friend
from Melbourne was here for a visit and
she loves Japanese, so she was loving it!
We all went for the Musashi box meal because
we were told that "we had to have it"
for its popularity and good value and to
tell you the truth it was the easiest option
since I was so hungry and taking the time
to go through their BIG menu to decide on
something would have taken a whole day.
Popular
opinion was right and it was great value
and the variety that the box offered was
satisfying. With a variety of sushi, teriyaki
chicken, miso soup and green tea. We also
got some soya beans to snack on, which I
found to be addictive. The service was good,
the staff friendly and we didn't have to
wait long for our meal. The atmosphere and
overall vibe of the place was nice, the
people were a mixed bag. It was not too
loud and noisy which was important in my
situation where I was catching up with my
friend from Melbourne who I haven't seen
in a while. The interior at Musashi is casual,
modern, presentable and comfortable with
a variety of seating arrangements from the
bar, booths, small tables, large tables,
to out door seating. At Musashi you get
all this at a reasonable price, what more
could you ask for?
Located
on the corner of Pitt & Campbell street
Musashi offers good food at a good price,
open from Mon - Sat. It is very popular
and with the Capital Theatre right next
door you could make a night of it! But make
sure you get in early or try to book before
six or you'll be waiting for a while at
the Chamberlin Hotel or miss your show at
the State Theatre.
