Musha Tokyo Cuisine - Santa Ana

I can't believe it! Everything at this restaurant reminds me of Guu, my favorite Japanese tapas spot in Vancouver. It turns out that Musha's owner and Guu's owner started out together, which explains why the cooking style is so similar. The pure tofu was amazing, the Japanese style pasta was delicious, and the chicken karage was just like Guu's! I will definitely be coming here instead of Sushi Sasabune and Sushi Roku from now on.

The Musha restaurant serves delicious Japanese dishes. Our group of 10 enjoyed about 20 tasty courses of Japanese food with a sake flight for $30 per person. It is recommended to make a reservation, especially during busy dinner hours. The grilled scallops were especially delicious, so we ordered seconds. The sake selection was great and reasonably priced. They have a private dining room that can accommodate 10-12 people and can be reserved in advance. Parking is available in a public parking structure a couple of blocks away or through metered street parking.

I am giving Musha, a delightful and affordable neighborhood Izakaya-style Japanese restaurant, three stars. I believe that four stars should be reserved for top-of-the-line dining establishments, and five stars for the absolute best. Musha was quite enjoyable, with fresh and savory flavors in their Izakaya-style dishes. The restaurant was busy even on a rainy Tuesday night, and we enjoyed dishes such as layered omelette with squid and noodles, citrus-y duck breast, grilled tongue, grilled salmon, pork belly with eggs and potatoes, and a refreshing Japanese green salad. The dessert menu was a bit odd, with French and Italian-inspired options like tiramisu and creme brulee. Overall, I would definitely return to Musha for its reasonable prices and variety of dishes beyond the usual udon, teriyaki, and sushi.
