- AAmberSeattle / Eastern Washington •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoWe had a slightly rowdy group of 8 adults celebrating a birthday. Our table was ready for us when we got there, our server was amazing, food was good and came out quickly and the beverages did not disappoint. Our birthday boy received a  complementary dessert and our server joined in to sing him happy birthday. We would 100% recommend this spot to anyone looking for a casual dining location.

- AAileenMiami - Dade •3 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoFantastic dining experience at Musang, as always. It’s probably my favorite restaurant to eat at whenever I visit Seattle. We went on a Saturday night and were promptly seated - highly recommend making a reservation as it was very busy the entire time we were there. For three people, we ordered several starters and shared a main: - daing na talaba (smoked oysters) - kinilaw - mushroom sisig - our collective favorite, especially with garlic rice - ginataang gulay - great recommendation by our server to go with our main - inaloban na isda with whole fried pompano - INCREDIBLE. I hope they keep this on the menu or at least bring it back often. - several orders of garlic rice - hot calamansi tea - ube lemonade soda - it tasted like an ube cream soda! But not too sweet They have a seasonal menu and our server mentioned it was the last week for the current menu. We appreciated the number and variety of vegetarian options (not always the case with Filipino restaurants). Everything was delicious but we all agreed the mushroom sisig and inaloban na isda were the best of the best. We walked out so full and happy, only wishing we had more room for dessert.
