Musashi Noodles and Sushi

It’s the first chichi Asian restaurant in Dublin in many ways – a necessary scout badge in order to rank as a cosmopolitan city. Situated at the bottom (as in near the river half) of Capel Street, which seems to be lapping up every good idea in town, this place is designed to look like a New York sushi restaurant. Done perhaps on the cheap, but still its very nice and squared off. The most important thing about Musashi is that its sushi rolls and selections are very fresh and beautifully light. The second most important thing is that they don’t have a booze licence but that it’s a BYOB affair. Which means it has a cosy atmosphere on top of being quite elegant and doing nice sushi. I sat next to a table of people who were having the time of their lives, one guy in particular enjoying a California roll with a side of Gin-Fanta. / Roisin Agnew
