A word from Musha - Pasadena

To call an IZAKAYA a home away from home hardly does it justice. Home is the place where the spouse and kids live. An IZAKAYA is your place. Musha is familiarity. Being natural, reliable and a place where you feel welcome. That's what REAL IZAKAYA LOVERS love about MUSHA. The message is here an… IZAKAYA that doesn't have to chosse between old-fashioned and being more modern. It can be both. Please come to Musha and see tradition transform before your eyes.Continued

"Everything was quite good. We had:
- aburi shime saba
- goma tofu
- ebi mayo
- cheese risotto

The service was a little discombobulated. I wish they had more sakes by the glass/tokkuri."

"The cheese Risotto is the best. But other foods just ok, maybe we pick wrong food. The service is excellent, the only problem is the restaurant is too small so the 2 people table is very tight and not very comfortable. The waiter is very handsome and nice :D"

"Maybe it is the expectations, but Musha Pasadena fell flat on its face. Pre-cooked and delivered to the table 30 seconds within order doesn't spell great. The Beef tongue should be cooked on the table with charcoal, not pre-grilled to well-done and dry and brought out to the table. Food was at most luke-warm.

Only dish that was decent was the cheese risotto. However, I feel sorry for the server who had to stand and prepare it while other waiters and customers have to keep asking her to step aside because the walkway is so narrow."

"Great start; needs a few more items and the table-top grills like it's older cousin in Torrance, but looking forward to this one becoming a mainstay in Pasadena."
