About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Innovative
  • Good for groups
Musashi was first established in 1984. Which is located in the heart of Wallingford, on 45th by Interlake Ave N. The original owner, Mitsako Abe, was the pioneer and handed over the business to Jun Park in 2007. Since then, he has opened a second location in Factoria in 2012. While the businesses were successful, he still had a goal of opening another restaurant with more of a modern elegant upper scale dining atmosphere, with the Musashi taste. Which also needed a bar & lounge, where Jun's business partner, Sam Park, experience came in hand. Sam owns the successful Asian tapas bar, Tigs, which is located in Pioneer square. GOKAN by Musashi, in Capitol Hill brings you that experience, with the savory sushi taste of Musashi, with a bar & lounge style of Tigs and as well as the ambiance!

    This was only fair. Sushi can be very fresh and surprising this meal fell flat.

    Great, creative, delicious rolls! Thicker slices of negiri than I've ever seen. Edemame wasn't the greatest, and no salt. Very small selection of seasonal fish specials (though, maybe fall is a bad time of year here?)

    My group really enjoyed our dinner at Gokan. The staff were wonderful and accommodating for our very large group, even when we had to add more people, and were even willing to split the checks individually. They have a GREAT sake selection and delicious, beautifully presented food. We will definitely come here again!
