Musashi Japanese

Gyu Don (beef with mushrooms) only had a few pieces of mushrooms and the rest are fillers, i.e. cucumber, onions.  Beef was was too sweet like in a Chinese restaurant.  For a Korean establishment, I was hoping the taste would be balanced.

Unlike the other vendors where food is delivered to your table, Musashi gives you a number for pick-up.  Food service is slow.

First Yelp post ever.  I had to create an account to inform (more like warn) others about this place.  

I go to Assi about 3 times a month for my grocery shopping and I happened to go with my family (wife and 2 kids) this past Sunday for lunch as well.  After perusing the 6 or 7 booths, I decided to order from here as the meals looked good at a very reasonable price.  The food was decent - I ordered a Bento Box which included Chicken Katsu, 4 vegetable tempura, 3 shrimp tempura, small salad, miso soup, and a small scoop of rice...for $7.99.  The price hooked me in for all that food.  

I place my order with the tight-lipped lady with glasses, who was socializing with her friend for a minute or two prior, while I was the only one waiting to order food.  Food comes out with everything, but the tempura portions looked on the light side.  I counted 3 vegetable tempura and 2 shrimp tempura - one less of each kind - compared to what is advertised.  I ask what's up with that and she says (in Korean), "Oh, when you get the BIG shrimp pieces, you only get two instead of three.  The shrimp pieces were tiny.  So I let that remark slide and ask about the shortage on the veggie tempura.  She starts to mumble something about how flour/batter prices are high so they can't give out 4 pieces any more.  So I ask her why doesn't she change the menu to reflect this so people aren't misled.  She starts mumbling some other B.S. so I say, forget it, it's fine.  I go to sit down with my family, tell my wife about this and it's irritating me more as I tell her the situation.

I go back and ask for 3 extra napkins (as we all know, kids can be messy) and she says, "Here, I'll just give you 1".  Really?  Getting angrier by the second.  I go back again before I start digging into my katsu because I didn't get any katsu sauce.  Who eats katsu without that sauce, right?  When I ask her for the sauce, she looks over my shoulder, stares at my table to MAKE SURE I don't have the sauce already, THEN reluctantly hands me a sauce bottle.  Wow.  

At this point, I was about to throw my entire tray back in her booth.  I sit down and in the middle of my meal think, "you know what?  I'm gonna get my 4th and final piece of veggie tempura" (out of spite, of course).   So I go up to her and ask her why she didn't put 4 pieces of veggie tempura in my meal, we exchange words, and she finally says, "Fine, you really want one more piece of veggie tempura???"  I say, "Damn right I do, get it cooking".  Happy to report I got it.  

But in all seriousness, who does these things?  The napkin thing and no-sauce verification probably wound me up the most, because seriously - "You can take ONE napkin" when asked for 3??  Ridiculous.  

I'm a very laid back person and it takes a LOT for me to be angered/irritated, but I was this close to throwing away the tray, bento box, soup bowl, and the katsu sauce bottle right in front of that hag.  Fortunately, my wife was there to prevent this from happening (she's the smart one in the family).  I couldn't imagine what I would've done if she weren't there.

Needless to say, I'll never go back to this place again, solely based on that woman.

Sashimi salad here is amazing.
