WELCOME TO MUSASHI IZAKAYA
"Musashi" is located on 181 Russell st, Melbourne, VIC.

IZAKAYA is a drinking establishment with foods and people drink and share foods. People often call IZAKAYA a Japanese tapas bar. Yes at IZAKAYA, drinking is a must and you find what to eat with drinks. We wanted to show people the joy of sharing and enjoying drinks with friends. So we named our restaurant IZAKAYA because we wanted to establish this IZAKAYA category aside from regular Japanese restaurants.

So IZAKAYA iko! (“Let’s go to IZAKAYA!”)

I eaten at Musashi Ramen at least five times now and each time my experience has been first rate. The food is deliciaous and comnes out very quickly. This place has quickly become one of my favourite venuews for a delicious meal at a very reasonable price. A brilliant location for meeting friends.

Popped in before the theatre and we had an excellent quick ramen. The service was great, we were 20mins late but they were still able to accommodate us after a quick 5min wait

Our New Years Eve meal was really disappointing. We booked ahead and were seated upstairs. We love ramen but after a couple of mouthfuls of the Hakata Tonkotsu ramen we elected not to eat it. The broth was oily, lukewarm and flavourless and the pork belly was tough and tasteless, so we set it aside and ordered something else. I have never done this before. The highlight of the evening was the gyoza. Also there was zero ambiance thanks to a looping playlist of loud music that included songs with offensive lyrics. Do not recommend.
