I really enjoy going out to eat, and recently moved from Los Angeles where I had the opportunity to eat fantastic sushi all the time. I ate at many of the ""best"" sushi restaurants in LA regularly.
Moving to Austin, one of my concerns was finding good seafood and sushi. I had been to Uchi, and sure, it was good. But it was not authentic, and their sashimi/sushi was OK.
And then I went to Musashino. My wife and I got the ""omikase"" tasting menu- not a cheap option, but the option that allowed the sushi chef to really show us his stuff. And show us he did! I cannot express to you how awesome it was. As we devoured the perfect, well prepared sashimi and sushi, my wife and I kept giggling to ourselves and reminding ourselves that we were eating this in Texas! We both agreed that Musashino was the best sushi we had ever had. I proceeded to interrogate the server and chef on how they possibly could manage to get this quality of fish flown in to central Texas. We vowed to go back and to go back often. It is obvious why this place was packed on a tuesday: those who really know sushi, know this place is the best in town.
Pros: unbelieveable, perfect sashimi and sushi
Cons: if you want Uchi, go there instead
